"TBis organization exists principally
in the border Counties of both States,
along the line from the Ohio river to the
north line Of the State. and large sums Of
money have already been. raised to exc
cute the scheme. Funds. too, have been
contributed in large amounts, we are in
formed. in New York and elsew here in
the East. and men are now actually en-
ployed in arranging and putting the in
iernal machine in working order and
some voters have already been broug bit
over and scattered around. The plan is
to contract with and pay copperheads in
Indiana, who have no families. to come
to Ohio. ostensibly for the purpose of
lsboring. who are to receive part paw
ment in advance. and take an oath that
they will vote for Vsllsndigham. They
are to be forwarded BY committees there
to committees in Ohio. who will dis
tribute and place them. They are chiefly
to be left in large cities and towns most
subject to floating populations, thereby
to avoid suspicion"
