Gen. Wm. 8. Boseersns, though advertised as eoming, was not there, nor did be obeer them with a letter Of encouragement Fighting Gen. Joe. Hooker, though advertised to be present, was not neither did bo encourage the faithful with a letter of approval, The gallant Gen. Mocum was not there either in body or sentiment The great Gen. W. 8.

published in tip Brooklyn newspapers articles of seething, bitter denunetatiott of Mr. Tilden’s sham, hypocritical psotaoew of raform, and his notorious copperhead war record. The defeotion. of Gen.

Indeed republican newspapers there, ead rtaident Uorrespondeots of papers outside claim New York for Hayes and Wheeler by ttflQQ raßjorlty. There is evidently some foundation for thia hope. Democratic papers exhibit marked symptoms of anxiety which borders upon Harm nt the prospect.
