Secretary Chambers Methods.

A letter from Manchester, NJ H., in
the Boston Post, says: The conduct of
the present political campaign by the
Republicans of this State is attracting
more adverse criticism than has been
bestowed upon any other party manage
ment which has before been forced
upon intelligent and honorable citizens.
From the beginning until the present
time there has been nothing but per-
sistent attempt by unpopular and mis-
trusted men to make New England
State sort of appanage which polit-
ical prince may be9ueath to whom he
will. Mr.. Chandler, who has not only
caused Mr.. Hale 10 be nominated, ut
who has boasted that he carries the
State in his vest pocket, stands out in
the present contest as the great manip-
ulator of Republican affairs, and a
sketch of his character cannot fail to be
of interest to those who study carefully
the political field and the men who are
foremost in it.
Senator Wadleigh had little expert
ence with Mr.. Chandler Wadleigh
was elected without any expenditure of
money on h is part and without any ex-
pectation of being elected. When the
State election came on Chandler went
to Wade gh and said his election did
not cost him anything and they would
expect him to subscribe literally on
that account Wadleigh asked how
much. and Chandler replied, $1,000.
Wadeigh refused to subscribe $1,000,
but said he would give $500. Chandler
said: THAT won't do" Wadleigh
said: "It will have to do; Iwon't give
q cent more" WELL" said Chandler,
"had you just as soon GO with me to
the Departments and see if there can
not be, some money raised tberers

going through the Departments meant,
said he would go. The next morning at

Robson that there was a certain Mr..
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1882-11-18

Trickey who dealt in articles red by
the Navy Department who had lot Of
lumber that he wanted to sell for 500
600, and that if Mr.. Robson would buy
that, Mr.. Trickey would give Mr..
Chandler $40, 900, out of which he would
contribute to the New Hampshire cleo
ton. Wadleigh began to be uneasy
about that time, but there was nothing
for him to do except to sit it out. Robe
son took Chandler to the opposite side
of the room, where they had converse
ton, and when they came back the
thing had been arranged that Chandler
was to have the $4,000 Wadleigh did
not know that he got it, but supposes
that he did, with perhaps q little dis
count. Chandler then wanted Wad-
leigh to go with him to Belknap, but
Wadleigh said he had had enough of it.
Chandler has always been the medium
through which the rings in Washington
have contributed to New Hampshire
elections. Jay Could money and
John Roach's money has been poured
into the close towns of New Ham pshire
until the whole State. almost, is corrupt.
OF course in towns where the majority
is all one way there has not been so
much money used; but in the close
towns there has been an immense
amount of political corruption. and
Chandler is more responsible for it than
anybody else. He has been the means
of the rings contributing; and as re-
suit he has insisted that every New
Hampshire man who goes to Washing
ton shall vote as he says in all those
matters affecting the interests of those
in whose employ he has been. f.

Malone and the candidates he names.
His power to remove and appoint is SUI

Some Coal Figures.

Coal is the most precious thing of our
mineral wealth. 1t was first mined in
Richmond, Va, about the year 1850.
The anthracite of Eastern Pennsylvania
was first discovered twenty years later.
Coal in this huge deposit is found over
an area of 472 square miles, affording,
it has been computed, supply of 25,-
100000 tons year for 525 years from
the year 1875. The great Appalachian
basin embraces an area of coal-bearing
rocks of nearly $4,000 square miles, and
is second in importance to the anthracite
region. Ohio comes next. Other sources
Of supply are in Michigan, Iowa, Wis
consin, Kansas and Arkansas. 1t wol Id
be safe to give the total iproduction of
coal in the United States at 50,0OO,O0O
