TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON, j. c.,
Sept. II. 1S77.-1o t;ea. j. $. Robinson, Coinm-
bus, O.-DEAn SIR: am deeply impressed
with the importance Of the campaign in Ohio that
ii makes me uneasy and restless that cannot par
tic,pate in it. What magnificent chance the Re-
publican uarty in Ohio now has. not only to place
itself III the vanguard in the lntcd States, bur
do this country service IL great any victory
won BY the Cfion ariny during the War! Here
it is demonstrated ny the cordial reception of
the President in tho South, by his hearty
Endorsement in Massachusetts. md by pub
with amazing rapidity, that in his Southern
policy he has opened un the means Of order. eafe-
ty. peace. and security in all the Southern States
Now, when it ia demonstrated that the difficulties
in the way Of resumption were myths conjured up
by the phantasies Ut demagoyucs. when our notes
are worth within ! per cont Of gold, when Proyi-
dence has favored us with bonndless crops, and
prosperity is coming upon us after drenrr time of
distress and trial cansel By inflated paper money.
why is 1t that we cannot sec all these things and
avail ourselves OF the advantage they give Tie in
our political contest? It eeemH to me that we
ought to carry the State by an overwhclm-
mai jor{tT, and, II we do 80. we will cstab-
lisn the beuefcent principles Of onr party beyond
the danger OF overthrow By reaction, and we will
secure peaceful and orderly development OF in
duztrr without parallel in ou. previous history.
wish 1t were in my power to impress every Re-
this matter: but here. constantly occupied by
official duties, can only rerlaiu watching and
waiting In anxious suspense lest the advantages
posst shall be ffttcrcd away lost by inactina
or Mistakes l know you wilt do your utmost for
sncccss, and only write yon this to show you how
earnestly sympathize with you in your efforts
Very truly yours, E. j0HS SHERMAN.
