OGpySsBURGH, Saturday, Sept. 10, 1884.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 9th inst is received.
The condition of political affairs so far as parry or
PLANTATIONS and their conventions are concerned,
6ok and really are about as bad they can be.
Indeed, / doubt whether any efectual rally can %
made in this State upon any organized acon t1is iai
cannot cay, and suppose 1t is uncertan what me
adjourned Auburn Convention will do. MY opinion
has been against a separate nomination by tnat Con
vention, from the apprehension that Inc punc were
not prepared to receive NOMINATION thero'r0ln, aut
that nomination was not expected from II when the
delegates were elected to 90 to Saratoga IL seems
10 me that the present party organizations ana dyS-
ions must and will work out their own end anu ueS-
tiny in the election this fall and that IN inc future
we NAV hone for a sounder and better condition oil
have great confidence that in the next Presiden-
tia election men who agree in principle, VIII be able
10 act together and thus by natural ahnlnes form
permanent party thoroughly devoted 10 the cause oi
Freedom and TO republican principles ihere aTe
thousands in this State who Will vote TINS lali ehreIy
independent of party organizations, or the ADVICE Oh
conventions: and even this condition of things will
aid perhaps to make the County and District elections
more sure against Nebraskaism. We must have pa
fience and courage, and resolution, and perseVere
ourselves in doing what is right under any circum
stances The elections show correct condition of
nuhc sentiment on the great question between free
and most practicable way, demonstrate her favor to
sbe cnuse of freedom. And If we do not get any
,anized movement, each man will do it in his own
way We shall then be ready for future and efectua
