WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Ex-Senator Dor
sey has at last made public batch of cor
respondence written pending the presi-
Dental campaign by Gen. Garfield, at
Mentor. All of the letters show unmis-
takably that Garfield depended on Dorsey
to save the day. He was exceedingly ap-
prehensive touching Indiana. There are
number of letters showing great solicitude
on Garfeld's part, the prelude to which is
the following, written by
GARFIELD TO GEN. ARTHUR:
''MENroR, O., Aug. 80, 1SS0.-DEAR GEN
ERAL: 1t is clear to me that we are now at
the most critical point Of the campaign,
and the victory will be made certainly
possible or seriously imperiled by our
management of Indiana during the next
fortnight. On what now write l assume
we shall carry Maine in September. five
carry Indiana in October, the rest is COM
paratively easy. We shall make a very
serious, perhaps fatal, mistake if we do
not throw all our available strength into
the state. I have taken great pains to as
certain the situation of the parties there,
but have sent intelligent and trustworthy
observers to various parts of the state to
make special inquiries on various aspects
of the contest. Let me summarize the sit
uation as it now appears:
First-There is much internal disagree
ment among the Democratic leaders the
bitterness of Hendricks over his defeat
his jealousy of McDonald; the general un-
popularity of English; the soft moneyrecord
of Landers in collision with their national
platform and the hard-money views OF
English and Mcdonald, and, finally the
anger Of the Greenbackers at the Democ
racy for dropping De LaMatyr and going
back on the Greenback party generally.
Second-There is almost perfect har
mony in our ranks, and much more enthu
siasm than we have seen in that state a
any time since 1872.
Third-The hard times of recent year
were felt with exceptional severity in tina
state, and the reaction which prosperit
brings has been correspondingly great

this we must overcome Democratic m

two sources:
