Ordinarily I would not interfere in these matters, but under the circumstances I feel it to be my duty to object to his appointment to any such position. He has from the beginning been the most outrageously abusive man against the Republican party within my Knowledge, always characterizing us as d---d nigger stealers and abolitionists. He has been an open advocate of Slavery and has all along justified the South in this secession movement, and since the commencement of hostilities even down to the day before he left for Springfield, as I am told by one of our most respectable citizens he openly declared in the streets that "this war was brought on by the d---d abolitionists and now let them fight it out," and similar expressions. Now it seems to us a shame that such men when they discover a place in the service that is supposed <hr /> to pay well should be gratified with an appointment. If they want to fight very well. Let them have Captains or any other commissions where they can show their patriotism. But I do not hesitate to Say that his appointment to a position in the Commissary Department would be felt as insult to your numerous friends in Kane County. Very Respectfully Your Obt. servant J. G.

Geneva Jan 5. 1865 Dear Governor Allow me to tender my warmest congratulations! It is a brilliant victory in favor of the masses of the people over the wire-working politicians. So far as Washburne is concerned it was a clear case of an attempt at political Larceny. It seems I was right in relation to my fears about Sansing. I sat up nearly all of one night with Fuller, and am glad to Know now that he saw his way clear, and voted in accordance with the wishes of his people. Governor I hope you may never know all that was said and done to poison the public mind against you lately in this vicinity. Of course I knew that it was a dash to affect the members at the last moment, and it was not without its effect. They had even frightened Mann, but I was fortunate enough to see him after he had got away from home and was on his way to Springfield. I think he left me somewhat "built up" - Well "alls well that ends well" and <hr /> now, dear Governor, God bless you and may you give the lie practically to the cock & bull stories that these men have been so industrious in circulating.
