TO the Chairman and Members Of the severa
Republican county omnsittees Of Pennsylpa
mia:
GENTLEMEN 1t has been urged upor
me by many persolB in whose judgment
| l have great confidence, that the zeal anC
excitement of our present canvass is grow
| ing to such an extern that we should con
duct it somewhat afer the fashion of that
of 1910. Instead, however, Of tho Log
Cabin, it has been suggested that Cana
Boat should be frequently and extensively
| used. l cannot present this view of the
case better than to quote tho language
contained in a letter of advice recently
received from gentleman of high char
actcr and large experience. l shall, there
fore, tako the liberty of quoting largely
thercfrOm
"FTrst.-Don't ;orget the CANAL
BOAT.
SecOnd.-In all tho torch light process
sions have 4 large transparency with Gar
field Oh one side trtwsers rolled up driving
on the tow path. with an inscription under.

kept turning as the procession moves, SC
that all spectators nay sec tho contrast
Most of tho labOrine men of the country
vote through their eyes l say this as one
who has been in contact with the masses
for forty years.
Ihira.-Get up rousins mass meetings.
Have singing as the procession moves, and
not at the stands Or in the halls merely,
and mako provision for tho attendance OF
the women and children. Tho TOW
PATH and SONG-BOOK will do moro to
mcntatiOn of great orators at large meet
ings. Everybody can hear song, and
everybody can see canal boat and a pair
of mules, and it is EVERYBODY THAT Is TO
BE REACHED if We arc to win. Let our
local committees throughout the state be
instructed to arrange mass meetings, in
Guiding these features"
l give these suggestions for whatever
they may be worth You will be able to
understand much better than tho temper
and feeling of your own people. Wherever
you think that such action as that indi-
Gated would do good, you will, of course,
adopt tho suggestions, otherwise not.
Allow me to make ono other suggestion.
We have reasonable expectation that our
friends will triumph ut tho election in
Maine, which is to be held ON Monday,
September 13, 1880; undoubtedly wo will
be able to know tho result in all parts of
state by Tuesday afternoon, and if it
should bo favorable to us, il would be we'll
to have all our clubs and organizations
turn out on Tuesday night, with music,
banners and torches, and celebrate the
victory in Il proper way. In remote dis
tricts of tho state this might bc dono on
"Wednesday night, if tho nows is not re-
ceive,l in time to have tho celebration
earlier. Very truly yours,

BIRD-lE-HAND.
Tho DeGOlyer Combination There

The DeGOlyer Combination There.
The Garfield and Arthur combination of
Bird-in-hand raised baby pole on Satur.
day evening. 1t is IS feet high. They
call it private pole but it stands on public
ground. Tho pole is hickory which is the
stolen Democratic symbol. So as not to
mislead any one they have board nailed
across it with their candidates names
painted on it. If the index finger and the
words "Salt river two months hence"
were attached it would mako pretty
respectable hand board.
There were about u men and about as
many boys at tho raising Of it no speak
ing and in half an hour after the pole
was raised the village was as quiet as
though wet cloth was thrown over it.
The RAIDS crept into their headquarters,
w. w. Grof7s store, and fixed things up.
They have in their opinion elected their
man and are only waiting for tho grand
fraud at Washington to get the army ready
to put him in.
