THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.

Inc hepupilchn party lsuoSpcrHtc.
Without scruples to deter IT, or n
sense of shame TO restraint, il will
fight for it's existence with all the en-
crgy Of despair, and use any and all
weapons. 1t was intimatcd some
time ago in several different places
that its salvation depended upon a
common cause, being made by it and
the National Banks. A National
Bank Association meeting held in
New York gave color TO the suppo-
sition. A circular said TO be issued
by the Bankers Association was dis
covered and pronounced a forgery by
that Association. But that the Ma
tional Banks are TO be forced into
taking sides with The dying party is
now settled. In Ohio where abattle
is raging with all the force Of deter
mination ON one side, and despera-
tion on the other, the Republicans
have brought to bear every engine of
war TO carry the field. For months
the most gifted orators have swept
over the State. Sherman was called
from Washington in direct violation
Of civil service rules to organize and
set in motion the campaign,
money has not been spared,
the power of the Fcderpl courts has
been invoked to manipulate the struc-
ture of the Congressional districts,
and now as the close of the dcsper-
ate struggle approaches, the National
Banks have been called upon to find
the funds for some secret Coup de
Main. For, ten days is too late to
collect and put orators in the field
and that the money is to be used on
the day of election, is the only adj
missible inference. Such a conclu-
sion is n natural inference from the
short time intervening between the
call for money and the election, and
the well known unscrupulousness of
the party renders it certain:
COLUMBUS, o. Sept. IL, 1873.
"Dear Sir: The Republican party
of Ohio is engaged in a contest for
honest money and maintenance of
the public faith. The opposition is
composed of all the enemies of It
sound currency and good govern
ment. Ohio is the battle-ground of
an idea that if triumphant, will
have terrible effect upon our mater
ial interests. To make tile fight sue
icessfully we must hare more money,
especially in the last ten days of the
campaign. With the necessary funds
we can organize a corps of workers
that will certainly give us the State,
and elect ten or eleven Congressman,
thus turning back the tide of infla-
ton and consequent reputation.
Now you can assist us very much by
sending us .fffy or one hundred dol
lars, and asking your Cedtthy friends
to do the same. Ii is true ii is
small matter to you and TO them, but
you will readily see that a number

to us, as the main onslaught
of the enemy will be made upon the
National Banks. We need not call
your attention to the danger that
threatens this part of our financial
system, or the Importance of the inn
pending blow. In word, sir, we
need pecuaidry assistance, and, of
course, you win understand, as well
as the Committee, that whatever is
done for us should be done quickly,
as it is expected to be of considerable
assistance TO us in the present strug-
gle for the financial life and prosper
ity of our country. We, therefore,
hope you will respond early, and
give a good sum to the relief of our
cause. Yours, respectfully,
