ou! the Eastern States there are clear eu'

this general sentiment II was very power
ful one because il showed the tendency OF
original Democrats and independents 10 con

and because Of the great influence ct men like
General Butler among The voters Of the man

The correspondence received at the Nation
al Committee rooms continues to furnish
cheering news from Pennsylvania and the
West. DR.. Julius H. Slackemann. OF Colum'
bus, o., writes The outlook IN this State
is favorable. Even in some Of our Republi'
can counties there is good chance for turn
/ ing out Democratic majority. Hancock is
strong ia the Western Reserve. From the
I present outlook il Is not probable that the
Republicans can secure many uctman votes
