To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
On Saturday, the Grange met;
and, as / learn, did some finishing
work in their organization. I know
they had one finished job, and that
was nice bountiful dinner; and I
am glad, or at least was glad to
know that some outsiders were cor
daily invited, and others know they
'did eat" My first experience with
sweet-sour-sal -salty-good.
Yesterday, (20th,) a bright sun
morning, could be seen cleanly clad
and cheerful countenanced squads,
vending their way with basket and
bucket on arm, to the Cool Spring,
one mile south of this place. to en-
gage in worshiping God. under the
green natural forest bowers, where
some noble hearts and kind hands
had prepared seats and a place for
the speakers, backed by evergreen,
interspersed with flowers. A large
crowd was in attendance, behaved
well, and listened with marked at
tention and we know that some

and pleasant to be there, dwelling
together in unity. The service at

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 21.-The Sen.
tineL of tomorrow will publish the

Hayes by Gen Fitzpatrick, and dis
covered by accident. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY copy of the letter sent and
was meant to be preserved, but was

GRAND HOTEL, INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. Al, 1876.
DEAR SIR: / have just finished the
tour of six counties in Indiana, and
feeling that any reliable information
from this State win interest you, I
write. In the first place the canvass
is well conducted. the people are en-
thusiastic and determined and the
old war spirit thoroughly aroused,
and If it were not for one thing we
could rest certain of victory in Oc-
tober. There is an independents
party in this State, confined. it is
true, to few counties. but formida-
bic, and it will defeat Gen. Harrison.
There is but one way to overcome
this movement The leaders Of the
Independents are poor, needy, and
in debt. They must be Iectured to,
and documents must be placed In
their hands, that they may be con-
vinced of their folly. A bloody shirt
campaign, with money, and Indiana
is safe. A financial camp aign and
no money, and we are beaten. The
National Committee has done moth
ing for Indiana. Alone they are
fighting their battle. and braveIy,
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 my
life felt so certain / was doing my
duty as in this contest, and my de-
sire for success. my dear sir. il my
only excuse for writing to you.
