"Reminiscences of the Past.

NEW YoRK, Sept. 24.-Ex-Secretary Of
Navy W. E. Chandler, who is now editing
the Concord IN. H. Monitor, has been
ripping up Governor Hoadly for his recent
aspersions on Mr.. Chandler's connection
with the electoral count in Florida in
1876. In this paper Mr.. Chandler prints
first letter to Governor Hoadly, which
he says has been unanswered since July %.
In that letter he recalls TO Governor
Hoadly's mind the following statement
made by him in his defense "for the
recommendation of Governor Noyes as
Government Director Of the Union Pacific
Railroad Company"
"Fhe connect OF General Noyss with
the Florida case did not occur to my mind
perhaps because having always been as
sured by Colonel Charles w. Woolley,
who was on the ground, that General
NOyes was in no respect blsmeworthy for
ANYTHING that occurred in Florida. l
have really paid little attention to his con-
nection with that matter, regarding VIM.
E. Chandler as the head Florida sinner"
Mr.. Chandler then asked Governor
Hoadly to part;cularize some OF the things
he considered Chandler aud Ex-Governor
Noyes blameworthy for. Mr. Chandler
continues.
"1lr. Hoadly WIS connected with the
Presidential count oply in this wsy: He
argued the Oregon case before the Elec-
torsl Commission, and urged that the
vote Of the Eed-nosed scoundrel, Cronin,
should be counted for Tilden and make
him President The Commission voted
against Hoadly and Cronin, not 8 to :, bat
10 to 0. The public will remember not
only the utter Illegally, but also the cor
rupt character OF the Cronin performance
in Oregon"

was in no respect b!amsworthy for any,
