GRAND HOTEL, INDIANAPOLIS, !
August 81, 1876. I
DEAR SIR: l have now finished q
tour of six counties in Indiana, and
feeling that any reliable information
from this State will interest you,
write.
In the first place the canvass is well
conducted, the people are enthusiastic
and determined, and the old war spirit
thoroughly aroused, and if it were moi
for one thing we could rest certain Of
victory in October. There is an indie
pendent party in this State, confined,
it is true, to few counties, but formid.
able, and it will defeat General Harri.
son. There is but one way to over
come this movement. The leaders o.
the Indenendents are poor, needy, and
in debt. They must be lectured to-
documents be placed in their hand:
that may be convinced of their folly,
A BLOODY SHIRT CAMPAIGN wTrH
MONEY, AND INDIANA IS SAFE A Fl
NANCIAL CAMPAIGN AND NO MONEY
AND WE ARE BEATEN.
The National Committee has dom
nothing for Indiana. Alone they ar
fighting this battle, and bravely; bu
unless the National Committee wake
up and does its duty to you, to the par
ty and the country, DEFEAT Is CERTAI,
IN OCTOBER.
l never in all my life felt so certain
that l was doing my duty as in thi
contest, and my desire for success, m.
dear sir, Is my only excuse for writing
you.
Your friend,
j. FITZPATRICK.
