UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER, !
WASHINGTON, February p 1878.
DEAR SIR have your note of yester-
day, and in reply beg to say that l do not
recollect the suggestions heretofore made
you, to which you refer, and which you
think, if adopted, might still prove advan-
tageous to the public interests, and | would
be glad to hear your report. l have been
subjected to so much misrepresentation in
regard to everything L have undertaken to
do that | do not think it would be wise for
me TO 90 to Philadelphia or Baltimore for
the purpose of meeting you. If you should
find 1t convenient to be in Washington,
shall be glad to see you.
Yours truly,
STANLEY MATTHEWS.
Mr.. James f. Anderson, Philadelphia.
THE SCHEMES OF THE REPUBLICAN sCHEMERs
IN LOUISIANA
Letters from Anderson to Weber:
CLINTON, La, September 10, 1916.
DEAR DoN-I am in receipt of your letter;
everything is going on smoothly with me.
The Democrats are satisfied with my official
course more so than the Republicans.
Payne my Democratic clerk is a well edu-
Gated gentlemen. His selection shows that
the Democrats mean nothing more than to
have a fair deal, and that propose to give
them. As for Butler, he is he'll on the end
of a poker and he is more of mystery to
me o-day than whenI first came up j. r.
Harris has been here looking after Packard's
interests. He says | must return ten thou
sand majority from this parish. If you were
to rake the parish with fine tooth comb you
could not find that number of Republicans,
and how they expect me to return more OF
a Republican majority than there are Re-
pu blican votes is a problem l have as yet
failed to solve. Any information you can
give me on the subject will be gratefully
received 1t is simply impossible to organ
ize our party in this parish. Powers. De-
GRAY. Butler and Campbell swear they Will
have nothing to do with it unless the negroes
are kept in the background, and the darkies
are equally as emphatic In asserting that
they will not affiliate with the above men
toned individuals, claiming that they are
bulldozers; and SO it goes, and in the mean
time the Democrats are thoroughly organic
ed. aud are working like beavers. You can
say to Il" that the majority against him
will be about twelve hundred, not very con-
selling. It's true. but nevertheless tits true
What Is the prospect in West Feliciana?
MY impression is that we will lose this State,
but Hayes will go through. / ask nothing
more. j. l.. A, ID. A. w.
New ORLEANS, October %. 1876.
MY DEAR DoN-I am in receipt of yours
OF the twenty fifth instant. The whole
trouble here lies in the fact there exists a
conspiracy the object being to hold no cleo
ton in East Felieiana, and to throw the
affair on my shoulders. Kellogg has refused
TO accept my resignation, at the same time
assuring the Democrats that he desires my
return, etc The white-livered Scoundrel
has hired L. B. jerks to dog my footsteps,
and should l attempt to leave would I'M
doubtedly be arrested on some trivial pre-
text. I'll beat the whole crowd vet, damn
them. OF course nothing | can say will
convince the Democrats that l, too, am to be
made victim. L think, however, that on
that (eleetiOn) day you will find me in East
Felieiana, and | shall teach Kellogg that
there is many slip, etc. / am convinced
that Packard has no hand in this affair, but
am ia doubt as so E. L. Packard and Camp
bell. | have always favored the organiza-
ton of our party in the parish, and have
also conceded that the Democrats would
carry it by heavy majority, and have sim
ply desired TO cut down that majority as
u uch as possible; DIR. Gray has always op-
posed this, and advocated no elections or
throwing out the parish, and in this he has
been seconded by Kellogg, Jewett and
others: they are likely to advocate and car
~ out any plan they may see.fit, but may the
deyil take me il | allow them to saddle the
blame on me. Tom jerks and myself will
be up in good time There will be no Re-
publican ticket in the field, and consequent
Iy few, If any Republican votes east. This
I thin& will be their programme, as it will
give them case. The Democrats will I'M
doubtedly poll about fifteen or sixteen hum
dred votes, and if as you say, they carry
West Felieiana by five hundred majority. e.
LIS game is cooked. OF course, he cannot
overcome such odds in Point Coupee.
