patrick's Letter.

tor, sent out by the Rspuohcau Na'ionoA
Committee to this state from New York, to
Gov. HAYES, the Republican candidate
for the presidency, Is document 80 char
a,teristic, and so clearly develops the rot
tsnness of the Republican party that Its
publication to the world is deemed plain
duty that no patriotic citizen should
shrink from. 1t develops several facts
disyrsceful in the extreme to the leaders
of tie party, Governor Hayes included.
General Kilpstrick's letter to Governor
Hayes shows that the Radical party In
this state is already defeated, and the ef-
fort is to be made to efraud the viii OF the
people by corrupt means.
II shows the estimation in which the
yreenback men are held by the Reput-
Mcan party, "poor bankrupt Set" that can
be bought with money, and changed by
lying Republican documents.
1t shows that Gov. Hayes, the spotless,
incorruptible statesman. who is the candi-
date of the Republican party, can bs sp-
preached in familiar way with corrupt
propositions.
1t shows that Gen. Harrison is to secure
an electioa by the use of money. Gen.
Fitzpatrick is one Of the leaders of the ring,
and is constrained to tell Hayes how
the Republican National Committee, in
not furnishing money, is neglec.ing the
opportunity to carry the sta'e.
1t shows that the lowest political de-
bsuchery is to be used to carry the state of
Indiana for Harrison. Gen. Fitzpatrick
has been in close communion with the
central committee here. He is work.
ing at their bidding, and according
to the Journal he is doing effective work.
The Journal on his arrival in the city gave
him the fullest endorsement. He there
fore represents the views of the party.
The letter further shows that two of the
bssest means used by the Republi-
cans In carrying the elections, the bloody
shirt and money, are the only means
that can now save the state. The bloody
shirt argument has been used effectusl,y
by Gen. Fitzpatrick, and his friends say
that he is accomplishing wonders, as wit
ness the following from the Journal:
Ladies', citizens and the Generals old COM
rades We'd with each other in giving him a
patriots welcome. To describe the Generals
speech would be a useless task-it must be
heard to be appreciated. 1t will be sufficient
TO say that 1t was one of the most effective,
eloquent campaign speeches ever delivered in
this town, and has done us great good. 1t
has aroused again the old spirit OF "a and 'os
Such cheers as went up from the vast audience
for Harrison and Hayes and Fitzpatrick, as the
gallant soldier and brilliant orator sat down,
were never heard before in Bedford.
But General fitzpatrick turns away
mournfully from the ovation, and reports
from here at headquarters to Hayes himself,
after seeing the central committee, that
war speeches alone will not do, but that
s'bloody shirt and money" would do the
work War speeches for Democrat SOL
diers, we presume, and money to purchase
the "poor bankrupt greenbsckers."
Citizens OF Indiana, voters of the proud
old Hoosier state, can the corrupt means

to support a man who is acknowledged to
be defested7 Can YOU give your sup
port to presidential candidate who can
be familisrly addressed by his friends with
such propositions? Independents of Indi-
ana, you VINO have been battling against
the money power, are you willing for the
Republican ring masters to buy your
leaders. and sell your poverty" for So
muchf
If anything more insulting has ever
been conceived in the management of q
political party we have yet to seq 1t. This
letter places Governor Hayes in a new
light; it snatches away that spotless robe
IN which his friends have clothed him and
places him at once on the level OF the low
political ring that has made GEN. Grants
a stencil and bye word
Of reproscn. 1t presents General Harrison
IL q new light as q candidate for place

Radical party in the disgrscefuI poshsien of
