WASHINGTON. juno G.-The friends Of Stan
ley Matthews make the following expana-
tion of the relations between him and James
n. Anderson. The statement. as | under
stand, Is made semi officially If not by au-
tbority. It is this:
Packard had become sOraly aggriove'l over
his treatment by the administration and was
nndeavnrIng to collect evidence to blow 1t out
of tho water and was relying on certain
damaging documentary evidence which he
believed to be In existence to bring scandal
Mpon the new administration
In his Packard'sl endeavor to accomplish
his purpose. he COniided his plans to Andor-
son, because the latter from tho part he had
played In the State canvass was q valuable
auxiliary to him. and Anderson instead of
Keeping faith with Packard posted off to Gin,
ainnati and told Senator Matthews of Pack
ards plans, and nj tho Same time told him
that with his (Matthews0 assistance and co,
operation. he thought that he could get pos
session of the very documents that Packard
was seeking.
That Matthews advised him anderson tC
go back to New Orleans. hunt up this evi-
denCe and forward it to him. and to enable
Anderson the better to accomplish this pur-
pose he gave him a letter to Gen, Harlan, n
member of the Louisiana commission. who
was to aid him
Anderson did go to New Orleans and did
forward to Senator Matthew's certain doc,l-
ments. including the Weber and Nash agree
ments, and when he had thus gotten these
papers out of PaCkards reach he claimed his
reward, and in consideration of this service
solely, Senator Matthew'S tried to assist him
10 place in the public service.
This gives Packard a chance to explain. if
he will. BUELL.,
