Columbus Delano went to Ohio to consult
Hayes about il. Witness expressed his be
refusal on Jan. to furnish Kellogg with
more troops, was favorable to sustaining the
Nichols Government; that Hayes had made
up his mind to do so irrespective of the ne
gotiations then in progress, but that Sner-
man, Garfield, and other Republican leaders
were influenced by the considerations offered
by the friends of Nichols, viz, the abandon
ment of the filibustering movement in the
Electoral count, and the return of two
United States Senators from Louisiana. The
witness said that he saw Anderson In New
Orleans restaurant one Sunday, and MesSrs.
Sherman and Stoughton were also there, but
he did not see any conversation between
them. Anderson told witness that he signed
something in the nature of n protest, but that
he was uuder the influence of liquor when he
signed; and he could prove that Anderson
told him that in consideration for what he
had done for the Republican party they had
promised him the Naval 0fice. In an inter-
view with Anderson about the 9th of Novem-

he was in possession of documentary and
other evidence, that would prove a conspira-
cy by the Republican party to throw out the
bulldozed parishes of East Feliciana, More
house. Richland, and East Baton Rouge: he

probably be thrown into prison on
trumped up charges: He agreed to do this If
we paid him 81, 900 then, and 81 900 after the
count was declared His proposition was
considered and accepted, as we did not think
to show Republican frauds and rascality, and
the proposition would have been carried out
but for the fact we had no money.
