Washington drow considcra bile encouragement
TODAY from information received by them
from New-York City and other parts
Of tho State. The estimates published
in THE TRIBUNE were studied and Analysed with
great care, and the general opinion seemed to DO
that they indicate fair probability of Mr.. Morton
defeat. The action of the Union League Club last
night was regarded as Of great assistance to Mr.
Eyarts's candidacy hut it was still insisted that
if his friends expect to win the can
yass in his behalf must DO placed al
once on better footing as to system
and organization and DO conducted with gre alter
energy.
A New-York Congressman who feels deep inter-
est in the struggle said: Public meetings III III
yor of Mr. Eyarts are Of course desirable anu, as
manifestations of public interest anu sentiment ia
his behalf they will exert some influence; pu'
they will DO of little avail unless supplemented py
thorough organization and active, inteihgeh'' poi
sistent personal effort. Tho mon VINO are 10

lature, and their votes will BIO influenced by va

or beausc we suggest that the principles Oh Csli
