CAMPAIGN NOTES.

lar Voorhees—the Tall Sycamore of the Vabash—ls aye-more then he wee before election.— Chicago But. s t3f“ The Democrats do not crow over the result of the elections; the reason doubtless being that they have eaten their crow. Bf Lawrence, Kansae, claims to have the largest Grant Club in the United States. It numbers 1,400 members, and U constantly increasing. JSfEncouraged by the recent election, and a general review of the situation, the Wilmington Commercial lays: “The State of Delaware will vote for Grant & Wilson in , November. Add three more to the Republican column.” ST Parties “ going West,” and of a benevolent turn of mind, are requested by the Republican editors of New York City to look out for an eligible situation for an ex-editor of that city, whose political career is Just emanating. tw The New York Tribune, commenting upon the Pennsylvania election, exclaims : “And now we are In the open field 1” The man who fell out of a third-story window was at first confused, “but,” said he, “the moment I struck the sidewalk I knew where 1 was.” IST Colonel Alexander K. McClure, Chairman of the Liberal State Central Committee of Pennsylvania, says in the Philadelphia Preen: '‘Pennsylvania Is hopelessly for Grant, and I do not think either Ohio or Indiana is likely to vote for Greeley. I regard the debatable States as settled: against ns by the October elections.”

gy The New York Tribune at last retracts, In the fullest manner, all its base attacks upon Speaker Blaine. It waited before doing this until the October elections had had the full benefit of its libels. If any thing could be more dastardly than the original libel, it is the time and the circumstances attending the apology. gy Charles O’Conor writes of Horace Greeley: “I regard the possibility of his election with inexpressible aversion. If the idea* of heathen time* prevailed I would cheerfully" surrender my person as a sacrifice on the altar of that deity whose controlling of events might thus be propitiated and induced to save my country from impending evil.” * The Kalamazoo ' (Mich.) Telegraph, after a careful study of all the points in the case and a critical comparison of the chances in each Congressional District in the State, predicts that the Republicans will carry every district In the coming election, and leave the Liberal-Democracy without a Representative in Congress from the State. I3TThe New York Commercial has discovered the followed mysterious codicil to an old will: “Let it be a plain marble slab. No Latin—no embellishments. State when nominated and when deceased. Get Cochrane to write epitaph—his style Is so simple. Whitelaw will distribute locks of my hair. Be kind to Tilton—be is foolish, but young. Plant me in my favorite pumpkin arbor, with a gooseberry trash for a footstone. H. G.” oJ*Our September victories in New England were the Vicksburg of the campaign. Those of October are the taking of Atlanta and the “march to the sea.” The capture of Richmond and the Appomattox surrender will come in November. But let us remember that our armies had to keep on marching and fighting until the final victory. The Republican army must do the same now to insure the grand, culminating triumph for which all brave and true men hope.— Chicago Journal.

gy The Lexington (Mo.) CauetuUm claims that It waa the first newspaper In the country to nominate JGreoley for President. It keeps his name at the head of its column*, and Immediately below —by way of platform for the candidate to stand on—prints the following : “We believe in secession, in the rightfulness of slavery, in the Illegality ew all Yankee-negro-bayonet amendments, ana the total repudiation .of all debts —Federal, State and county—contracted by Radical fraud, violence and misrule. tgy“ Reconciliation ” is making rapid progress in New York. A Greeley club to the Sixth Ward, and one In the Eighth, have declared for Grant and Wilson. In the Seventeenth Ward one Greeley club has dissolved, and another consolidated with the Grant club. The several Greeley headquarters at the' Glenham, St. Nicholas and Spingter Hotels are to be consolidated to save expense, and the organization it only kept up to give the confusion Democracy a respectable fnneral In November. “More frauds out in Dakota!” Such wlil doubtless be the. report In all the Greeley organs, In view of the fact that Brookiags, Republican, was, on the 9th, elected a Delegate to Congress over both Armstrong, Democrat and Liberal, and Moody, bolting Republican. Iu the complete snbmergeuee of the Greeley forces In the October typhoon from the East, they have not yet walked up to the fact that they are also engulfed to Dakota. They will be sure to find it out, however, by next week, and then look out for the cry Of “Fraud.”— Chicago JUt, October 16.

13T Throwing aside the personal Influence of Mr. Hendricks, which seems to have carried him through the late elections in Indiana by a very small majority, we find the true verdict of the State, as between Republicanism and Confederatism, recorded in the Congressional vote. This is the showing : District. Rep. Dm mqf.

A United States Senator; a full State ticket, save Governor; the General Assembly by a jotot majority of twelve; a goto of four Congressmen; the canal debt question settled; me apportionment of the State secured for eight years; and a Republican majority of 1,857. In 1868 the majority for Baker was but 961, but for Grant Tn November it reached 10,000. At the same ratio of increase now Indiana will pronounce against Greeley by fully 18,000. It is amusing to see the Confederates chuckling over the “great Victory n in Indiana.— JnUr-OeeoM. , ' A • The remote WesterntUateahave a new holiday. It is called Arbor Day. Every man is expected on that day to do some service to future generations by planting trees. The idea to an excellent one, ana should be adopted in all the great, growing Territories or the North wet*, Where pasture to plenty and wood scarce. ■■■■*■» .—■ —The Episcopal Bishop of Nebraska has built 38 churches is six years.
