The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-07-04


lsiature were requested oseno a
to consult with the Commission, n aeom-
mlttee Oh WE'VE was aPpelnleo al q Joint
caucus oi the oeha.e anu mouse.
Wnen tne Commission fecei'eu tnis com
mlttee Generai na,ian was pacing the
moor quite e1clteoiy, n sald: I'VE
have been In new orleans 700 long already,
and TINS tnlng mas got 70 pc neg up;
MeVeagl also told tne committee that the
troops were to be Withdrawn from the State
house: that there was no use OF the packard
men making q ngnt, because II tney did
the NICHOLS men Wouio hahg tnem to
the lamp-posts, Pltkln also gave an inter-
estlng recital OF the conversation had with
the manager OF the Louisiana c.ate Lottery,
who asserted hat ne had 1urnlsncd money
which was given to members OF the Packard
Legislature to desert to NICHOLS. de stated
alphabetically that he believed that had
Packard been recognized by the Executive
that he could have maintained his govern
ment within three weeks after such reeog-
milton without the use of United States
troops.
Next a man named Glasscock, a resident
of Washington City, was called to prove
that Mrs: jerks had told him that Sherman
mad lnsulted her, and hat she would make
1t hot TOR him yet by producing a letter or
document which she had got from Mrs. We
Der, and which was then in New orleans.
Mrs. jerks afterward went to New Orleans,
but whether she got the document witness
had no means of knowing. Witness was not
cross-examined.
The Florida case was taken up, and VIM.
+. Chandler examined. The object OF this
examination was to show that General Noyes
had made promises to give offices to those
who helped to carry Florida for Hayes and
to connec Hayes with the bargain. Moth
ing came of it, however. The memory of
the witness was faulty.
L. G.. Dennis was sworn. In regard to
Noyes he said: "Noyes always spoke OF
Governor Hayes as his intimate friend,
and used to assure us of his fidelity to
the Republican cause, and of his special
desire to take care of Southern Republicans.
He never showed ne any writing from Gov
ernor Hayes, and did not speak about his
having been invited by Hayes to go there,
but we regarded him as the personal friend
and special representative of Mr.. Hayes
during the contest there. / was very en-
thusiastic myself, and l required no pledges
or assurances from any one. lido not know
whether any such assurances were given to
any of the members of the Returning Board.
Noyes gave me, 1 think, the gravest assur-
ances that President Hayes was a very
staunch Republican, and that he had volun-
tarily pledged himself to protect Southern
Republicans, and he called my attention to
something that had been published to that
effect-some speech he had made, or letter
he had written"
L. E. Dennis was on the stand again on
June %. He said that Box No. 2 of Archer
Precinct at Alachua County Florida, was
objected to by the Democrats on account OF
alleged fraud. The inspector of the polls
