The story of my meeting Mr.. Chan

one. Lieut.. Greedy, who was au d.,
friend and constituent Of mine. and C..
whom tried to assistwhcn in Cousr

Hon. Samuel j. Randall, with whom
was many years in CongrG>5 and v..
on board the Tallapoosa with him .,'
there met Mr.. Chandler and other 90,
tIemcn Of distinction. spent NV iir
especially in Mr., Randall's conuu
and was more with him than with r,
other gentleman on board. We I'VE.
engaged part of the time In talking nu
itics, he assuring me that hr had u.a.
up his mind to support Cleveland q
has done, and advising me very -tI.u
ly to do the came. Much indeed ..
regretted TO part with him told d.
could not, for reasons | have since ua

At my request the Tallap,osa -

good faith and kindness that draws ~
to give this narrative, because il is rL
less to do so. The Hcraid will yOib A.,
other lie before this is cold. But at vat
request | will speak of this mati.r pm
licly.
As for the Parsons letter, he is one
those deadbeats who poster public m,.
learn that he got two other men .n'
room and elected himself dg'rgato B
committeeman or something Of o..
sort, OF the Greenback party. lie t.s
came up and demanded money Of mo 4
organize the party in the South in o..
junction with another dead-beat whom
| knew to be worse than him-ouo 1t
Crandall-becausc | had had export
cnce with him, and Parsons would hay
made better hcadway with me if he ha
not brought Crandall for an indorscr
As II was | declined to have anythin
to do with him, and Parsons stal,
around New York until at last, an
Informed he came to the Chairman o
the State Committee of the People
party OF New York, Mr., Fowler, an,
borrowed of him $40 to get home with
saving he was dead broke.
The folly Of any attempt to organil,
u party in the South is too apparent fol
even serious joke. The laboring mel
OF the South are negroes, who are no
allowed to vote, and if allowed thei
votes would not be counted; but to at
tempt to organize party under tn,
management of Lee Crandall or Par
sons would be like organizing churol
meoting with the devil as pastor wheri
he lives. | have been told that thes.
letters of Parsons were sketched ont il
Washington in the National Ficw ofie,
aud shown TO my friends with hopes t.
lrigbten me into giving money. but
have not been scared lately. / bay,
got quite voluminous correspondence,
with Crandall asking money ol me, All
of which would have gone into the
waste-basket save for an inyariable
rule / have to preserve all lette.e i r4,
