Dr. H.—
Safe arrived at home. all well.
Really our friends are in earnest. Arrange-
ments are made to have runners from
the principal towns, to bring in the result
of the vote at the close of the second day
to Mayville—where they will be colla e-
ted and they will carry back accounts
of success to be used in stimulating
friends on the third day of election.
The best spirit prevails on our side—on
the other fury, madness, desperation, fear.
I suppose it probable you have read
Hazeltine
send you a copy to make sure
