Ex.Gov. Palmer's Interview With Little
field.

Ex.Gov. Palmer's Interview With Little
field.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Gov. Palmer of Ill
inois, testified today to having met Mr.
Llttlefield OF the returning board in
New Orleans. He complained of not having
received as good facilities as Republicans and
Littleteld promised to give him some papers as
the Republicans did not offer him any money
for them.
Nothing was said between witness and
Murphy about money reward to bs given Lit
tlefield for exposing what be knew. There is
no doubt in witness mind that Littlefield ex-
pected some kind of reward in case his ex-
posure resulted in breaking down the returning
board and electing Tilden.
The Status Quo to be Pre.erved.
Congressman Ellis, Col. Burke and counsel
lor Covanac of Louisiana, called on the Presi-
dent today and explained the condition of
affairs in that state The President replied he
was satisfied that Gen Nichols was acting in
good faith in preserving the statu quo and he
therefore had no intention of charging his in
structlon to Gen. Anger. In the course of con-
versation the President said Gen. Nichols
should not be held responsible for the freak of
the crazy man who shot Mr.. Packard.
