| "DEAR STR have jdst finished
tour Of six C, u tiles in Indiana, and feel
log that any reliable information from
this State will interest you, write. In
the first place, the canvass is well con-
Quoted, the people are enthusiastic and
determined, and the old war spirit thor
oughly aroused; and, if it were not for
one thing, we could rest certain of vic
tory in October. There is an Independ-
emf party in this State, confined, it is
tiu,, to q few ecu aties, tut formidal lie,
and it will defeat General Harrison.
There is but one way to overcome this
movement. The leaders of the Inde-
pendepts are poor, needy and in debt;
they must be lectured to, documents be
placed in their hands, that they may be
onvinced of their folly. A bloody-shirt
campaign with money and Indiana Is
safe; a financial campaign and no
money, and We are beaten. The national
committee has done nothing for Indiana
| -alone they are fighting their battle
and bravely, but unless the national
committee wakes up and does its duty
to you, to the party and the country,
defeat is certain in October. / never in
all nv life felt 80 certain l was doing
my duty as in this contest; and my de-
sire for succees, my dear sir, is my only
excuse for writing you. Your friend,

Republican politics when Republican
congress appropriated heaps Of money
to iIl-defiGed purposes, and no one in

the disbursements; when the disbursiDg
