The headquarters of the Independent
Republican National Committee. at No. s.
Nassau street, present busy appearance
10 the visitor nowadays. over Il dozen
clerks are constantly employed preparing
documents for the mail. Thousands OF
copies Of SchurZs speech, his reply II
Hoar. and the second batch OF the Mulligan
letters have been sent out during the past
week. Mr.. George Walton Greene, the
secretary of the committee. said yesterday
that while he did not think Cleyeland's
triumph an assured fact, still the Intelli-
;sence daily received from all portions OF
the country was indeed encouraging. The
publication Of the latest Muligan letters
bad had the effect Of pulling back into the
TRACES any Independent Republicans who
wavered when the Buffalo Telegraph scan-
dal appeared. Reports OF great disahectiOn
among the Republicans. particularly in this
state. New jersey. Massachusetts. Iowa,
and OHIO were constantly being received.
The presence Of Mr.. Blaine in the West
testified TO his anxiety TO know what were
the dimensions Of the Independent re-
volt In that region. The effect OF Carl
SchtirZs work in Ohio was daily
becoming more and mole apparent owing
to the tremendous revolt among the Ger
mans Mr.. SchurZ has written saying that
he desires some one to supplement his work
i'm Ohio, and some Boston speakers will
probably be dispatched there in few DAYS.
In Mr.. Green's opinion. should the Repub-
LEANS lose Ohio in October. there would be
but little chance of Bane's election. Should
the Democrats be defeated they would still
have fighting chance. for never since 1856
had the Democrats captured Ohio in a pres
ideDtial campaign.
