PmLADELPHIA, September 1.-The
Times publishes this morning a special
dispatch from New York, which, after
speaking Of Chairman Barnum's silence
and absence OF display-which have
been interpreted as evidence OF inefh-
cheney and want OF a bold aggressive pol
icy-giyes the following Information in
regard to the Chairman's campaign pol
icy;
New York, New Jersey and Connecti-
cut have had the most
Systematic and Thorough Work
done in them, as may now be appre-
ciated by the assured union OF the Til
den and Kelly forces in New York,
the nomination of English in Con-
necticut, and the withdrawal OF
Abbott in New jersey; and il organizs-
zltion, canvassing and all the appliances
common in desperate elections can car
~ them for Hancock, il will be done.
Barnum regards New York and New
Jersey safe in any contingency, and
he Is
Quite Confident Of Connecticut.
But Barnum has worked most where
he has been least seen an least felt by
the Republicans. He went to Ohio and
Indiana a month ago and laid the
grounds for the most complete Organlzl-
ton of both States, and he will open the
most aggressive campaign there about
thirty DAYS before The October election.
The preliminary work has been most eli
iectiyely but quietly done, and instead
OF concentrating on Indiana, he will
compel the Republicans to make
Desperate and Costly Struggle TO Save
Ohio.
Barnum is now in Ohio, and has been
there ior three davs, although it has not
been publicly announced, and he is
there on business. He is fully satisfied
that Ohio is doubtful State with Gar
field. and will startle the Republican
leaders by his bold and hopeful efforts
TO carry il. He now feels certain oil
both the Cincinnati districts, and
as Cincinnati has carried the
State in every close contest since
1873. he regards il as fairly debatable,
and he will throw mis- best speakers and
his

equally into Ohio and Indiana for
thirty-day fight. The loss OF Ohio to
Garfield i'm October, or nominal Ke'
publican majority then for the state
ticket. would in his judgment carry New
York. PENNSYLVANIA, New Jersey, Con-
necticut, New Hampshire, Wisconsin,
California, Neva Ia and Oregon without
costly campaigns and by large major.
ties.
GOu NAV rely upon the statement
that before the middle OF September the
Republican leaders will understand what
Barnum has been doing, and they will
be more earnest in their
Defensive Cam paigu in Ohio
than their aggressive campaign in lndi-
ana BIrnum'S theory about Indiana
Is that it is naturally Democratic State,
and that the Democrats need only TO
summon their own strength on the home

lie has been there. and English Is IN
perfect accord with Barnum policy TO
have every vote canyaSse the local or
gan cations for holding and polling their
vote thoroughly perfected. supply them
with documents, and devote the last
tairty days of the contest to the
Boldest Aggressive Operations.
The Republicans have been running a
shouting and costly campaign IN In
diana Tor a full month, and when Bar
mum and English shall he ready to All
vance their whole line at once, the re-
sources of the Republicans VIII be
Largely exhausted, and with defiant as
saultS, made simultaneously in ONO
and Indiana, they will be unequal to the
struggle.
Barnum has not doubt about In
diana, as he has regarded it merely
matter OF organization, effort and money.
English has the money 10 offset the
double assessments upon Federal office
holders for Indiana, and be will spend
il. because he must spend II or allow
the Republicans to
Buy the State Away from Him.
Up To this time the Democrats have
not spent one dollar in Indiana Tor ten
spent by the Republicans; but after the
middle of September the Democrats
will have more to spend than the he
publcans, and Barnum and English
will see that il goes "where it will do the
most good" They both believe in
spsndiny money only once in elections,
While the Republicans will be compelled
10 DO their work and make and pay their
contracts over again after their treasury
and their parties have been well ex-
hausted.
