Before considering the subject mat
ter of telegram received this day,
signed w. l.. Chandler, | desire to ask
IL the author is the Chandler who, as
assistant secretary of the treasury,
travelling through the south in 1865,
corruptly participated In the spoiis
gathered by the supervising treasury
agents engaged in robb:ng their gov
eminent aud in defrauding the dis
tressed people OF this and adjacent
states.
'Is 1t the Chandler, who, as secretary
Of the republican national com mittee,
with certain republicans from Louisi
ana, at a conference or conferences at
the Fifth Avenue hotel, New Yors,
concerning Louisiana affairs, about
October, 1872, secretly and corruptly
coDspired to take advantage of the alb
sence from Louisiana of the governor
thereof to semble secretly the legis-
iature, impeach the governor, seize the
government and use its machinery to
carry the election of 1922
"Is 1t the Chandler. who earned and
received fee from Kellogg. OF three
thousand dollars, in 1874, and the en-
conium, "You had done more for him
thsn anyone, except Attorney General
Williams" in maintaining his foul and
Infamous usurpatiou OF the office of
the governor of this state
Is IL the same Chandler who en-
couraged, abettei aud conspired with
infamous allies, in this city. TO rob
twelve thousand citizens of New Or
leans of their franchise, and drag them
before the federal courts on or about
the day of the late election; who, in
November, 1876, by telegraph, gusran-
teed Kellogg that the whole power of
the government would sustain the re-
turning board in counting the vote OF
