UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON D. c., August 10, 1882.
Ny Dear Friend Your favor is received. avail
ed myself of the first opportunity to and talk with
in rafo In no NON inafipn of
Hon. George G. Round
Senator Malone spoke in a most friendly way
about Mr. Round and assured me that he would do
all he could to secure his nomination. but he thought
there was some doubt about his being nominated.
I hope Mr. Round may be successful.
With regards am very truly yours.
JOHN A. LOGAN.
You will observe my dear Senator that the letter
of General Logan saying you had assured him that
you would do all you could to secure the nomination
of Mr. Round is dated the day after you telegraphed
to Fredericksburg that you had had me dismissed.
One of your best friends told me you were opposing
Rounds nomination because he was northern man.
and yet you told General Logan you thought well of
Round, and assured him Oogan) that you would do
all you could to secure Rounds nomination. You
must have been reminded of my dismissal for sup
porting Mr.. Round, while you were assuring General
Logan you would do all you could to secure his
nation Now, Senator Malone, did John A. Logan
lie when he wrote that letter? If he did not who
did? An impartial public shall decide The matter
is too disgraceful for me to further critcise.
If have not satisfied the public that you had
dismissed because was supporting Mr.. Round, am
prepared to prove by Colonel A. w. Jones that you
told him that was opposing your wishes by support
ing Mr. Rounds nomination.
I wish you and the people of Virginia to under
stand that, in spite of your mean treatment to me-
and the discovery of your treachery, am none the
less the friend of the cause Of Liberalism. On the
contrary, am the more determined to continue my
fight for The It and you cannot both survive.
For liberalism to live in Virginia, Mahoneism must
de- aud the liberal who does not prefer your poti-
al death to the death of the is unworthy the
name. ~ :, If .,t.,.
You deserve, you will receive, the excavation of
every who loves liberty. Your very presence in
the departments at Washington, makes even the
MANNED Union soldier who holds Office and who is
accredited to Virginia. tremble with fear of dismissal
