WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The Wash
ingtOn ClrORjcle Of this morning con-
tains the following: We have received
the following communication from what
we deem reliable source, and desire to
call the attention of the managers of the
Associated Press to it. The evil COM
planned Of is one that demands remedy
if it exists. The author claims to be
himself an editor of q paDer, and per-
sonally familiar with the facts upon
which the statements are based:
New ORLEANS, May p.
To the Editor OF the Chronicle:
Mr.. MeDaniels, of the Associated Press
at this point, is openly in the pay of the
McEnery party, as business manager Of
their organ, the Picdy1slle, at large sal
ary. Nobody believes he could hold the
place moment should he leave his
power as press agent. He is declared,
bitter enemy OF the Repablie&ns, and
never comes near them for facts. For
year or two he has been skilfully man.
ipulating facts he is instructed
to send off, exaggerating some
things and suppressing others until
he has made the whole country believe
that Casey, Packard, and Kellogg are
terrible fellows, when the truth is, they
are the finest men in the State. Is there
no way TO have this agents conduct in
vestigated? The distortion of a few
facts in a brief dispatch sent to every
daily in the country forms public Opin-
ion this way or that, and can blacken
the fairest, or ennoble the blaekest
character. At points like this, when
there are no specials, the power of the
Associated Press agent is tremendous
and alarming.
