during campaign times, and during his last candidacy was the means
of securing him the endorsement of my race, in the matter of send-
ing to the Legislature many of the delegates who elected him. The
accompanying extracts from the "Vindicator" (cut out and attached
for your perusal) will sufficiently prove this. I would also par-
ticularly call your attention to the fact that many of my most im-
portant articles in his behalf were copied by the most prominent
Washington papers - among them the "National View."

Unfortunately, as I said before, I found it impossible to ap-
proach him during his brief stays in this City, and accordingly had
recourse to your intercession in my behalf - more particularly as
I labor under the infirmity of being partially paralyzed in my low-
er limbs, which makes locomotion laborious and painful.

Under these circumstances I feel myself warranted in again
calling your attention to these facts, more especially as in your
last letter (dated Palo Alto, January 27th, 1893) you were so kind
as to say that my letter to you - which was handed in by my friend
Mr. Dunne, approaching you upon this subject - had been mislaid,
but that if I would rewrite the contents of the same you would give
it attention. This I did on February 6th, and forwarded it to you
but as yet have had no response. Accordingly, I am sure you will
pardon me for again presenting you with the data of the case as
appended hereto.
