and could prove 1t. Anderson told
him that, in consideration for
what he had done for the Republi-
can party, they had promised
him the Naval Office. In an
with Anderson about the
10th OF November, he stated 20
witness that he was in possession |
Of documentary and other evidence
that would prove a conspiracy by
the Republican party to throw out
the five bull-dozed parishes of East
Feliciana, Ouchita, Moerhouse,
Richland and East Baton Rouge.
He further said he could secure us
the parish Of East Feclliana, but
that he was poor, and if he did SO
would probably be thrown into
prison on trumped-up charges. He
agreed, five paid him $4, 900 down,
and 1000 after the count was de-
clared, that he would do so. His
proposition was considered and ac-
cepted, as we did not think there
was any wrong in procuring evil
dence to show Republican frauds
and rascality. The proposition
wonld have been carried, but for
the fact that we had no money.
Witness had interviews with many
other Republicans regarding Lou
lsiana matters besides those men,
toned in the Wormley Conference.
Q.-Name them?
A.-Well, among them were
Wadleigh, Howe, Frye, West,
Cameron and several others. 1t
was also communicated to Gov
ernor Nichols that there was de-
termination to exact two Republi-
can United States Senators from
the Nichols Legislature in consid-
Grafton for yielding up the State.
This was what chiefly brought the
witness 10 Washington. 1t was
learned that leading Republicans
close to the administration In
power came to the conclusion thai
bayonet rule could not be main
tanned in Louisiana, and thai
they were willing to abandon
Packard If they could strengthen
their waning power in the Unitot
States Senate. These facts were
communicated to witness on hil
arrival in Washington. He hat
+ an interview with Secretary o
War Cameron as to how the Mich
oils government ought to be al
lowed to maintain itself. The in
, tsrview took place about the 6tf
. or 9th of February, 1877. Cameron
appeared to be impressed with th'
conviction that the Nichols gov
ernment should prevail, as he ap
peared to be fully aware of th'
condition of things there. Th,
difficulties in the way were touched
upon, such as decreasing the powe
OF the Republican party in tn
Initial States Senate, and tina
they would, as party question
, oppose any action in Louisiana
that would lessen their power il
