mainly by this means. and their money
has been largely expended for this pur-

pose.
Our friends have the full census reports |
to aid them in checking importations.
They say they will be able to secure the |
friendly cooperation of nearly all the
railroads running into the state. They |,
will have United States supervisors ap-
pointed for the first time. They propose
to station active and trustworthy Republi- !
cans in all the border counties to watch
the importing movements of the Democrats.
All these plans require the employment
of large number of men and much
money. And this brings me to the chief
point. It is indispensably necessary
that the means for putting these plans in
to vigorous execution be furnished at once.
The work has been started, and must
be supported promptly to insure success.

is erroneous. Success in Indiana will be
an immense help to New York and other
close states.

you concur in the views have taken, urge

the whole ground with Senator
Dorsey when he was here en- route for Chi
cago, and his letters since his arrival there
strongly confirm my opinions.
Another thing. He told me that Senator
Conkling would make his opening speech
in the West, at such time and place as you
and thought best. Dorsey and New now
write me that great convention OF Re-
publican clubs is to be held at 1ndianap-
oils on the 18th of September, which will
bring together great assembly of the
most active Republicans of at least doz-
en- states, and they are very anxiuos to have
the senator address that meeting. In view
of the nature of the meeting, and its i'm
portance to Indiana, am sure he could do
great good by accepting their
Invitation. If you concur. please present
the request to him for US both. Please
let me hear the result of your conference
with Morton as soon as possible. Very

The foregoing letter outlines the plan
Gen. Garfield had of the campaign,
but those which follow show more mi
nutely the details, and give an insight
into the history of the campaign in the
West, notably the great demonstration at

made to New York early in the canvass
was prearranged:
