LETTERS FROM ANDERSON TO WEBER.
CLINTON, La, September 10, 1876.
Dear Dor-Am in receipt of your letter.
Everything is going smoothly with me- The
Democrats are satisfied with my official
course, more SO than the Republicans. Payne,
my Democratic clerk, Is a well educated gen
tlemaD. His selection shows the Democrats
mean nothing more than to have a fair deal,
and that propose to give them. AS for But
more of a mystery to me to-day than when
first came up. j. 7. Harris has been here
looking after Packard's interest. He says |
must return 1iOO majority from this parish.
fine-tooth comb you couldn't find
hat number of Republicans, and how
hey expect me to return more of a Republi-
AN majority than there are Republican voters
$ problem have as yet failed to solve.
Any information you can give me on the sub
ect will be gratefully received. It is simply
to organize our party in this par E
sh. Powers, Degray, Butler and Campbell T,
wear they will have nothing to do with it, !
lnless the niggerS are kept in the background, !
nd the darkies are equally emphatic in as =,
erting that they will not affiliate with the I I
boye mentioned individuals, claiming they : :
re bulldOzers, and SO 1t goes. In the mean 3

esignatiOn TO Kellogg The parties who :
ttacked me on Saturday night have !

New ORLEANS. 30, 1876. 4
My Dear DOM am in receipt of yours of r.
ne twenty-tifth instant The whole trouble V
ere lies in the fact that there exists con- Il
piracy, the object being to hold no election y
! East Feliciana and to throw the affair on Y
ly shoulders. Kellogg has refused to accept n
~ resignation, at the same time assuring Il
le Democrats that he desires my return, Il
&C. The white-livered scoundreI has hired l.. d
(. jerks to dog my footsteps and should I il
tempt to leave would undoubtedly be ar b.
ested on some trivial preteXtS. III beat the V
hole crowd yet, damn them. Of course
othing l can say will convince the Demo
ats that |. too, am to be made victim. |
link, however, that on election day you will
nd me in East Felicana, and shall teach
ellogg that there Is many slip etc. am
,nvinced that Packard has no hand in this j.
fair, but am in doubt as to E. l.. Packard "
ld Campbell Have always favored the or W
anizatiOn Of our party in the parish; have tt
so conceded that the Democrats would s.
lrry it by q heavy majority, and have II
imply desired TO cut down that majority as .
uch as possible. DR.. Gray has always op- I'll
)sed this, and advocated no elections or q
rowing out the parish, and in this he has ii
en seconded by Kellogg, Jewett and others.
hey are not likely to advocate and carry out
ly plan they may see fit, but may the devil
Ike me If | allow them to saddle the blame OF
