hundred stanch republicans bitterly opposed to

has been largely increased OF late, and If the
democrats display their ordinary energy and

clearly evident TO me that outside OF certain in

favor Of Horace Greeley the republican than u s.
Grant the republican. There has been entirely

in this campaign. The rank and file have had to go
on duty or 90 to the guard house, while the well
provided for shoulder strapped oficfal had nothing
to do but fl his pockets and sneer at Greeley. This
was oil right for war times, but not now. Between
the manned soldier on the stan drawing 1000 q

soldier OF the ranks haf starving over the handle

STATE NOMINATIONS


AS far as State nominations are concerned on
both sides there Is little to be said. No matter
which party wins in the coming fight the people
will, think, be well represented The candidates
for the State Legisature-repubcan liberal and
democratic-in this county are exceptionally good
men, and have not hitherto muddied their boots in
the political pool Altogether the outlook is satis-
factory and encouraging to the friends OF reform.
There was an immense turnout OF liberal rcpubh-
cans and democrats here tonight, speeches,
parades and t0rchlght procession and all that, and
much enthusiasm. The regular Grant republicans
are to have display on Wednesday next, and
threaten to outshine this one completely and
have no doubt they will. Money makes the mare
