PETERSBURG, VA. January. 1858.
Dear Sir-So much does the future Of
our Republican party and the progres SIS
and welfare Of the State depend on the
delegation We shall send 10 the National
Convention at Chicago, and the cGndi-
date there selected Tor the presidency,
that feel constrained 10y sense of per
sonal and political duty 10 invite your
thoughtful consideration to tie certain
facts and views following
Remember that IT Was Ar. Blaiuc who

ton That the Democrats would help the
Administration to defeat Mr.. COnkIiuG,
and up to the day Of his (Gardeldsi
death his Administration did nothing for
us.
During Mr.. Garfield S life as President
| could not get Democratic petty post
master or route agent removed. Mr.
Blaine had bargained with the Democrats
that nothing should be doae to help us
in Virginia to promote the liberal move
ment We had lnaucuratcd-the election
of our State ticket III 1881.
IN 1854. when Sir. Blaine was candi-
date for the presidential nomination, it

Parsons d Co.. and on which be turned
his back at Chicago when Dee found that
our admission there was The enthusiastic
will OF the convention. Until then Mr.
Blaine and his personal partieans were
outspoken in favor Of The admission Of
the Wickham Straightout delegation.

That was then and is now the measure of
his concern for rs his sympathy for orr
efforts to Repuohcauize the State. Soft
was that We had 10 help and no recoGni-
ton al the hands of his National Com
mittee in 1881. There was nothing HcU
worth fighting for in Virginia. and the
STATE was given the go-hy and the cold
shoulder, Mr.. Blaine himself refusing TO
come inside the State when he was as
near as West Virginia.
In November. 1881. (GJ when we had

communication was written in the Fifth

the defeat OF orr party and It's leglsa-

while his pretended friends in Virginia
were outspoken and the most of them
openly active in their efforts to defeat
onr candidates for the Legislature. Ii
anywhere pretending to support our
candidates, all the same doing their ut
most To defeat them elsewhere.
Mr.. Blaine knew that our success and
my election to the Senate would lessen
the possibility OF delegation for him to
Chicago. because he felt that ! knew he
was no friend OF the party in Virginia,
and that hc had no concern for Hcpubli-
can development in any southern state,
no sympathy with their efforts. He
knew that / was familiar with his hostili-
" t. us his trade with the Democratic
leaders in lS3l-whereby he agreed to
crush us out that he might unhorse
Conkling. He knew that if got back
to the Senate and he should be elected
to the presidency this year, that | would
be in position to compel satisfactory APP
pointments in Virginia, and protect our
party against the Vaccinations OF kick

little boss. If these "heuchmen " do
Their bounden duty they will render the
Chicago convention a hot place for Ma
HONE and his henchmen.'
