| WASHINGTON, April g 1874.
N.Y. Dear GorernOr-I have to- day TELEGRAM
"om you, saying you would hold this Brashe.
! >e q sbeyarcs till you ard from ne an
g terday had telegram saying White, ex
Mayor, and citizens, had called on you and tn
! whole thing would be settled satisfactorily t
White and citizens with him.
an not prepared TIL I hear from my friend
there, to whom write to-day, to tell YOU what
il any, changes further desire but wish Il
| call your attention to this, that number o
times in the last year I have asked you not t,
make any changes there without consulting me
and you have always replied you would not but
whole town government. and l know nothing
| OF it.
ask if you consider this courtesy or fairness
to me? 1t is no use to say you forget what YOU
promise me. have known you too long not tc
know you have tho best Of memories, nor is i,
fair to say should not expect to interfere in any
OF your appointments, as you said to me on tax
collectorship. II cont hold good in this case.
Here is my own town and home, that at the
last election was carried hundreds of votes against
me. by fraud perpetrated by the Morgan interest
there, and now you propose to turn over the
whole town to them, to use me in the same way
next fall. Mr.. Jolly, and others. write me that
Morgan's agent, at Brasbear. was in the city all
OF last week, till you made the appointment; that
ne took the commission out on the night train,
and had Thomas sworn in before nine the next
morning. And you evidently propose turning
the whole thing into their hands.
wrote you some weeks ago letter. which
presume you have by this time, telling you that,
though Morgan paid no taxes in our town, his
employees controlled the town, and that for
several months they had prevented any business
by preventing quorum in Council, and asked if
you would remove them and appoint citizens who
propose: that the Republicans there have the
mayor and two OF the Council; that the Jews, q
large class there, have one, and Morgan interest
two OF the Council. =
This desire to say, if am candidate next
sAIl will hold you responsible for the political
action of your appointees, not only at Brashear,
but through the district. If you take the ground
1 have no right to say who YOU shall appoint. you
will be responsible for them and their action.
This do not doubt you will be willing to do. 80
Don't think Buffers hit at DureI amounts to
much. Barrett is here full Of threats, SAYS h
has evidence that will bust him. All looking righ
about the new election. The result in Connecticut
has soothing effect here. 1t is worth mention
that some OF the oldest and wisest OF our friends
in the party here talk Of opposition Congress
next fall, so you must strengthen yourself there.
Will watch Cox's bill.
Truly, ETC., c. B. DARRALL.
WASHINGTON, D. c., November 30, 1873
Ny Dear GOcer1lor-I have your favor Of the
22d. ! have also since West came here had a
talk with him as to Mr.. Clinton and the financial
affairs of the State and he is Of the opinion that
Clinton will be impeached, and perhaps justly.
But do not care to go into the merits of the
case more than TO say that, as it looks to me,
such action would be very unfortunate unless
there is evidence Of corruption.
only asked what your policy would be, that
might use such influence I may have with
members Of the Legislature from my district, in
assisting you. But if l am to judge from your
etter, you seem to have no policy but to drift,
which is very good, sometimes but, in this case,
