NOTHING SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS.
MENTOR, O., Oct. 10, 1880.
MY DEAR SENATOR-I was in hope you
you could call on your way to New York
but, much as would like to see you, |
would not have you lose an hour in the
work of the campaign.
l have already written, pretty fully,
to Jewell, giving him my views of the
remainder of the fight.
You and your associates must cOntin-
ue the Indiana work to final victory;
but want you also while in New York,
to look over the other contested points
of the field and let me know the situa-
tiOn as it appears to you.
For the Pacific coast Senator Jones
ought to take vigorous hold of the
fight, and Mackey should help us to pre-
vent the influence of his bonanza assO-
ciates from being thrown against us.
Swain goes to New York to-day. Give
him your interior views of the whole
situation after you have recOnnOitered
the field.
Your work in Indiana has vindicated
itself and silenced all cavilers. Moth
ing succeeds like success"
You had better call here on your re-
turn from the East; by that time we
shall see the lines of the fight more dis
tinctly.
Remember me kindly to "Toulin" and
all your associates.
Very truly yours, j. A. GARFIELD.
House, Indianapolis, Ind:
p. S.-DOn't leave New York until the
new line of battle is formed and the
troops are in motion. j. A. G.
''Then you were not expected to think
any more of IndianaP"
Il didn't say So"
Were you again appealed tOp"
Yes, by Mr.. Garfield, as fOllOws:'
FOLLOW IT UP.
MENTOR, Oct. "a, 1880.
DEAR SENAToR-I have just received
letter from New, a copy of which en-
close. l hope he may be mistaken in
his views Of the situation in Indiana,
but you will know better than 1. On
no account should we remit our vigil
ance in following up the October victory
in that state. Very truly yours,
j. A. GARFIELD.
Hon. s. W. Dorsey, NY.
"YOur friends seem to think that the
fact of Mr.. MOrtOn's trusting to your
sole care such large amounts of money
was, from so shreWd and careful busi
ness man, great compliment. Did YOU
80 regard itp"
"Well, said Mr.. Dorsey, as he laid his
hand on the head of tOddling little
twO-year-Older just learning to walk, 81
can't say [ should have thought of it in
that light; but now you mention it l see
the force Of it from commercial point
of view."
"Of course, Senator, there was great
deal of detail work in Ohio and other
States as we'll as in Indiana; did Gar
field cOnfide any of his purposes about
that to yOuP"
''He did. Read his letter for instance,
of September 13:
GARFIELD ARRANGES HIS FORCES.
MENTOR, o., September 13, 1880.
DEAR SENATOR-YOurs of the 18th
inst. at hand. l think Blaine should go
to the Pacific coast, but not until after
the October election. He begins in Ohio
on the 18th, and l am making pro-
gramme for him for this State and In
diana until election, but | will insist
upon his going to California as soon as
the Indiana fight is over.
InOte what you say of Mr.. Evarts, and
think we had better have him go to In
diana, if he will, for few days near
the end of the campaign, after the
other gentlemen to whom you refer
have spoken.
Swain is here and reports fully of his
interview at Chicago.
Before this reaches you you will have
heard that we have succeeded in getting
General Grant tO,preside at Onkling's
first meeting in Ohio, which will be on
the 25th inst. Very truly yours,
d. A OAhflElDs
Hon. S. W, DORSEY, Chicago.
''YOu see by this that it was constant
Interchange of suggestions and no per-
ceptible 'thrust,' so far as 1 was then
concerned"
"Were you all rather discounted by
the news from MaineP"
"TO certain extent, of course. Gar
field had his idea of it and expressed 1t
as follows:
MAINE THE BULL RUN.
MENTOR, OHIO, Sept. II, 1880.
DEAR SENAToR-YOurs of the 18th inst.
is received. You have hit the true sOlu-
tioI of the problem in Maine. Our
friends claimed too much and did not
calculate upon the enormous expendi-
ture of money which the Democracy
made during the last four days of the
campaign. Still, we have carried the
State, and every Republican L have seen
since the Maine election is more deter
mined than ever to win the victory. We
shall get more work out of our people
in every Way in consequence of it. 1t is
