These gentlemen made no charges for
their services beyond their actual nee
essary expenses. This is particularly
true Of Messrs, Dancy, Pinchbaek. and
Anderson who spoke TO more people,
who made more speeches and were
more IN demand, as [ am advised by
the chairman Of the committee on
speakers, than any others Of the col
ored speakers employed by the state
and national committees. Mr.. Dancy
and Gov. Pinchback are men of national
repute and it is but natural that the peo
pie would desire to see and hear them
The Governor spoke several times at
Business Mems Republican club in
lower Broadway, and was given mum
Der OF splendid assignments in the city
of New York and up the state.
There is no disputing the fact that
Mr.. Charles w. Anderson is one Of the
most popular and best liked young re
publicans in the state of New York,
white or black. He is a star orator.
and that can not be rubbed out There
were requests for him, Mr.. Gleason of
the Sta'e Committee tells me, from
nearly every county in the state more
really than six of him could have filled
in the time prescribed, and wherever
he spoke IN the state he drew those who
admire good speaking Particularly was
this true of his work IN the western
part OF the state when he accompanied
Governor Roosevelt and spoke at almost
every station where the train stopped.
At BinghamptOn, Rochester, Buffalo,
Penn Yam, and POrtchester he was fat
tered with large and appreciate audien
ces the greater proportion of which
were white persons. To illustrate bis
popularity with ''the Lords anointed'
up the State, / met Mr.. Winchester

missioner OF Agriculture shortly after
Mr. Anderson had spoken IN the opers
house at that place who told me that
Mr.. Anderson bad made one OF the most
telling speeches TO which he had eveI

Senator Scott is q hard headed, prsc
tiLal, business man, a keen, sagacious
critical gentleman who doesn't waste
words on any man; therefore his Opin
ion of the services of Mr. Anderson are
the more valuable, especially in view
OF the fact that 1t was imprompt and
unsolicited.
There is something in being a pro-
ducer, in playing the game of politics
and there is q great deal more in being
consumer, but the man who delights
in being consumer only, cannot be
expected to derive as much benefit fol-
party service as the producers.
