Chicago. 22.-Lee Crandall, OF the
National Vietc, grsenbsck, has a tele-
gram from O. @. Post, a prominent
gresnbacker OF Indianapolis, stating
that there is confusion among the
democrats and no fusion by the ma
tionals. and there will be none.
The Virginia situation is attracting
q good deal of attention here. The
national democratic committee hav-
ing recognized the funders ss the
regular democratic party, the anti
funders are thrown into coma con.
fusion, but they claim to be able to
carry the state, notwithstanding. Ma
homes friends here say he will fight
it out to the bitter end. The warmer
the contest becomes the more certain
the republicans are to run the Gar
field electoral ticket through the
breach and carry the state. They are
almost absolutely certain to gain two
members of Congress.
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL COMMITTEE,
New York, Oct. %.
To tie Public:
Our unscrupulous political sdver-
saries have spread broadcas. letter
purporting to have been written By
our candidate for the presidency,
General ]. A. Garfield, to one II. l..
Morey, of Lynn. Mass, under date OF
January %, 1880. We are fully Gu
thorized to denounce it as a bold for
gerry, both in it's language and seDti
ment. Until its publication General
Garfield never heard OF such a persC1
as II. L. Morey and was not aware OF
the existence Of such an institution ss
the Employers Union of Lynn,
Mass, with which Morey was said to
be connected. The letter is one OF
the most fragrant lies which has ever
bsen sconcocted by desperate party
upon the eve of defeat.

The following address was to-day
issued by the republican national
committee for circulation in the
southern states:
October 22d.
To the republicans Of the southern
states:
The solid south was the sbibboleth
of the democratic party at Cincinnati.
Senator Hampton told the national
convention OF his party that 13S
southern electoral votes. conld all be
counted in advance for the democratic
nominee. This was in defiance OF
we'll known republican msjorities 10
half of the southern states and a
threat that they should not be re-
corded. The republicans OF the north
are fully aroused to the truth that the
democratic party. conquered these
states by violence and now propose
to retain them by fraud. For a time
many thousands of our people were
unable to realize your situation and
the wrongs CT which you complained
seem to them too startling for
belief; but time has shown that
the half had not been told. Indig-
nation as profound as the cause
prevades the patriotic masses of the
north. The triumphs achieved this
month in Ohio and Indiana but fore
shadow the still greater ones to come.
They will prove to us the death knell
of the solid political south. Now is
your opportunity for vindicatioD be-
fore the world. In the pretence OF
this second uprising OF great people
the southern democratic leaders
should hesitate further to prosecute
you or attempt to silence your voices.
To-day patriotism, free speech and
fair ballot are sectional, because they
are not permitted to exist in the
south. The national republican com.
mittee, speaking for the party which
has struggled for twenty four
years to make freedom national,
appeals to you to cast your vote on the
I'd OF November for the candidate OF
your choice. Have trusted republi-
cans at every polling place during the
election to register in books of their
own the votes which you deposit. Be
prepared in this manner to demon
strste to the people of the nation just
how many votes you cast in each
state and then let the democratic
party show how many of them they
will refuse as cast. You will thus
vindicste your manhood, your dig
nifty, your citizenship and either
compel the democracy to count your
votes or stand convicted OF haviog
openly defrsuded you of them.
MARSHALL JEWELL, Chairman.
