Preparing for the Fall Gampaign-victory
Predicred-Letter from Secretary Sher-
man.
The members of the Ohio Legislature
and the State Executive Committee held
caucus at Columbus, lately, which was
largely attended and of the most harmo-
NOUS character. Gen. Beatty, the
leader of the anti Hayes movement, last
fall. was present, and spoke strongly in
favor of the Republicans making big
fight this fall. He considered that the
present Democratic Legislature had
placed the Republicans in the ascend
ency to begin with. While he did not
give up the sentiments of a lifetime. in
the coming campaign he stood shoulder
to shoulder with the Republicans of
Ohio. Ex-Gov. Dennison spoke in q
most spirited manner, and predicted the
success of the Republicans in the fall
elections. His speech, as also that of
Gen. Beatty, was warmly applauded.
The following letter from Secretary
Sherman was read, being well received
by all: Ate
WASHINGTON, D. c., April Is, 1878.
DEAR SIR Your circular-letter of April was
duly received. My official engagements will
not permit me to attend the meeting you pro
pose, and it would be better that, as an officer
of the Government of the United States. I
should not personally participate in the direc-
ton of the campaign. feel deeply inter
ested in the election of the next House of Rep
resentatives, in the hope that it may contain
majority Of those, who agree with us in the
Opinion that Republican policy should prevail
In the popular branch of Congress, and that 10
effort should be spared to bring about that re-
suit, especially in Ohio, which hitherto has in
the main been in the vanguard of our political
contests, and ought now to be true to the prin-
clples and convictions which gave to our Stste
SO much honor during the war. Upon two or
three things we certainly ought to agree This

ton that nominated him, and fepresents
the aspirations and hopes of the best olements
OF our party Some complaint has been made
as to the distribution Of offices, and as to tie
interference Of officers In elections, but surely
such complaints should not come from thepec-
pie, upon whom properly devolves the conduct
Of all political movements. With very few rare
exceptions, founded upon local or special rea-
sons, Republicans have been nominated to
Office, and official duty has been faithfully Sr&
well performed-as much SO as during esr
period of our history. It is true, also, thatt le
policy of Cancellation to the South, frofs the
highest motives of public good, has resUEsxl in
quiet, peace and order, and, as believe will.
