The following letter is from clear headed,
reliable gentleman who happens to be in a
position to know the action OF the late con-
sultation of the leaders of the Republican
party in New York. 1t Is reliable:
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, NEW YORK, August
This morning Garfield took his departure
for home. The faithful have been in council
here since Tuesday. over 300 of the best men
OF the party were here. Cameron and Logan
came and participated, but ConkIing declined.
and, L was told oy prominent Indisnian.
that this was done for a purpose. i take the
purpose to be that he viii not enter heartily
into the canvass. Cameron was ofIish, but
Logan pitched in.
The Indianians were particularly prominent.
The meeting was at this hotel, and had good
opportunity to see things. l am safe in saying
that Inoiana, and how she would go, took up
fu ly half the time OF the meeting. The In
diana Republicans We're not sanguine about
carrying Indiana, and told the COMMITTEES so
They did, however. lay great stress on two
things in breaking the force of a defeat I'm In
diana One was Landers' alleged weakness in
the German districts, and the deiectioI in
Floyd County and that District. They count
on the German hard money men going against
Isanders, and they claim n loss to Landers in
Kerr's old Di trlct OF 100 votes. They, there.
fore came TO the conclusion that If through this
detection they can defeat Lsnders, the moral
with them elsewhere, ana throughout the
country, no matter If the balance of the Re
publican ticket Is defeated have good
gramme is
TO SWAP OFF AS FAR AS POSSIBLE EVERYTHING
TO BEAT LANDERs
and elect Porter. The State ticket and doubt
ful CongTessmen are to be sWapped of. They
Ben harrison and for Porter. Everything else
must bend to this, and this policy
must be made known TO our Democratic
Landers, although we should elect all the
balance of the ticket, the moral effect would
be against us, as that is the political Office
while the balance are only business offices.
They count, too ON what some of them We're
pleased to term Mr. Englishs unpopulariiy in
Indiana. To this end, and TO effect this meet
ing. Halstead of the Commercial, wrote his
let er against English to the Herald, but this
fell fiat, as the Herald, in the same issue. ef-
tectually killed all HsIstead wrote. still.
Halstesd'S argument was used TO affect the
meeting. IL was therefore resolved by the
meeting to make
DESPERATE EFFORT IN INDIANA.
Money by the thousands was promised, and
speakers without number. Every County,
town, Township, Ward, Precinct, School Dis
trict and block in Indiana is to be organized,
and series OF speeches from eminent men
outside the State are to be made everywhere.
Such crusade from outside Indiana has
never witnessed as will be made. They have
resolved TO take the State by storm In the in
terest of Porter and the LEGISLATURE. By elect
ing Republican Legislature they get rid of
Mcdonald, and in all human probability,
VOORHEES, two years hence, as they hope for a
holding over Senate for lSS2.
70 you see our people should give very close
attention to thorough organization and Wig
llance unsleeping.
ANOTHER POLICY ADOPTED
was to make vigorous fight in Florida. Con
over demanded money and speakers, and
was finally agreed TO carry Florida at every
any other Southern State. An effort will be
made TO carry certain Congressional Districts
South, and the Executive Committee was en-
West Virginia, South Carolina and old
|. Virginia, If the signs of carry
ing them should prove plausible
States. If it was not deemed advisable, then
to make desperate war for Connecticut, New
noIK. Ne NeW G,;t Jersey ana Indiana they seemed
States North that will demand any serious
consideration are those name above. The
Republicans of Connecticut claim that State
without a question. New York they are not
sure of unless vigorous effort is made. They
think the chance for carrying New YorK is
decidedly against them, but fight is to be
made: Indiana demands their particular So
Hcitude, and venture TO say
MORE MONEY WILL BE SENT INTO INDIANA
than all the Northern States combined. Not
single Republican here but said that English
Landers should be defeated. They now scout
the story that he would spend no money. New
teen years, ana know what am taking
about, and what is more, he is magnificent
organizer. and when he lays down a dollar fer
ten cents worth Of good If English's and
Landers' ears did not burn all this week then
there is no truth in TIE old saw.
IT the meeting intended TO create
thusiasm for Garfield IL was a failure, and /
think the leaders SO regard it., AT the public
meeting last night not over > 600 people were
present. There were 40 torches only.
What state here are facts, not perhaps
susceptible OF proof, for you know how that
is, but facts nevertheless.
The Democrats here are very active, and
preparing for magnificent campaign. M.
