It has been so long since the election it is hardly necessary to mention the occurrence the verdict was posative and emphatic nothing short of the complete overthrow of the traitors and the God dispised institution of slavery will satisfy the people for the many sacrifices already made I am still proud to be called an American and a Republican because my fellow countrymen have shown themselves worthy of the name The union triumph in the 13 Dist- <hr /> and the election of a union Legislature in Illinois is all that we could ask Your election to the us senate becomes a certainty I suppose you will have no opposition from any of our union friends I hope not. it will do them no good to oppose you. The union Representatives from my part of the state will vote for you first and last. to oppose you would be their political death at home What wonderful changes in Egypt In 1860 - I was odious because I was your friend now I am quoted as good authority because I am still your friend truth is mighty and must finally prevail. I resigned my agency here on the 20 of Oct the dist under my control was the poorest concern in the Gulf Dept. and I found that Flaunders. had so many of his favorites to accommodate it would be impossible to get him to transfer me <hr /> to a new dist He is jealous and suspicious of every agent who appears to be well quallified for the position and is the most incompetant officer that ever held a responsible position I have made settlement with the Government and am now ready to obey orders. I would like to be appointed an agent for the purchase of products or assist special agent and ordered to report to the Second agency It seems that we will not occupy Mobile soon I wish to go there but must be doing something in the mean time I am sorry to give you so much trouble but I am compelled to rely on my friends I will still remain here hopeing to receive some good news from Washington soon I wrote Gen Logan a letter upon this subject but I fear he will not receive it.

It has been so long since the election it is hardly necessary to mention the occurrence the verdict was posative and emphatic nothing short of the complete overthrow of the traitors and the God dispised institution of slavery will satisfy the people for the many sacrifices already made I am still proud to be called an American and a Republican because my fellow countrymen have shown themselves worthy of the name The union triumph in the 13 Dist- <hr /> and the election of a union Legislature in Illinois is all that we could ask Your election to the us senate becomes a certainty I suppose you will have no opposition from any of our union friends I hope not. it will do them no good to oppose you. The union Representatives from my part of the state will vote for you first and last. to oppose you would be their political death at home What wonderful changes in Egypt In 1860 - I was odious because I was your friend now I am quoted as good authority because I am still your friend truth is mighty and must finally prevail. I resigned my agency here on the 20 of Oct the dist under my control was the poorest concern in the Gulf Dept. and I found that Flaunders. had so many of his favorites to accommodate it would be impossible to get him to transfer me <hr /> to a new dist He is jealous and suspicious of every agent who appears to be well quallified for the position and is the most incompetant officer that ever held a responsible position I have made settlement with the Government and am now ready to obey orders. I would like to be appointed an agent for the purchase of products or assist special agent and ordered to report to the Second agency It seems that we will not occupy Mobile soon I wish to go there but must be doing something in the mean time I am sorry to give you so much trouble but I am compelled to rely on my friends I will still remain here hopeing to receive some good news from Washington soon I wrote Gen Logan a letter upon this subject but I fear he will not receive it.

Daily Tribune Railroad, Commercial and General Printing Office. Chicago, Dec. 18th 1864 Dear Governor - Your favors of the 14th instant is received. I received a letter from Nash of Ottawa a day or two ago in which he says that "Yates Stocks" is above par in that section. He says that Bushnell and the three representatives will go for you first, last and all the time. I think we can count up men enough on our [illegible] ends to give you the nomination on the first ballot. Jo. Medill has gone to Washington to be about a month or six weeks and during his absence, Horace White runs the machine. I think there will be no further departure from the strict neutrality of policy. Mr. Medill assures me <hr /> 2 there should be none. I know he has been represented to join in the fight, but he refuses. He favors your claims to the position, I know. As to Bross, I have never heard how he does stand - but I think he is your friend. You know the peculiarities of his disposition as well as I do. He is eminently social and good natured and desires to please everybody, but I do not believe he can be made a tool of by the opposition, or by the friends of Logan, Palmer, Washburn or anybody else. Col Eastman is a fast friend of yours and is doing you good service. He feels entirely hopeful <hr /> Daily Tribune Railroad, Commercial and General Printing Office. (3) Chicago, ____________186 of a satisfactory termination to the canvass, as I think he has reason to feel. Who is Oglesby going to nominate for the office as his gift? I hear Col. Loomis married for Attorney General. Is he to be appointed? I shall be in Springfield about the 1st and shall hope to see you.

Daily Tribune Railroad, Commercial and General Printing Office. Chicago, Dec. 18th 1864 Dear Governor - Your favors of the 14th instant is received. I received a letter from Nash of Ottawa a day or two ago in which he says that "Yates Stocks" is above par in that section. He says that Bushnell and the three representatives will go for you first, last and all the time. I think we can count up men enough on our [illegible] ends to give you the nomination on the first ballot. Jo. Medill has gone to Washington to be about a month or six weeks and during his absence, Horace White runs the machine. I think there will be no further departure from the strict neutrality of policy. Mr. Medill assures me <hr /> 2 there should be none. I know he has been represented to join in the fight, but he refuses. He favors your claims to the position, I know. As to Bross, I have never heard how he does stand - but I think he is your friend. You know the peculiarities of his disposition as well as I do. He is eminently social and good natured and desires to please everybody, but I do not believe he can be made a tool of by the opposition, or by the friends of Logan, Palmer, Washburn or anybody else. Col Eastman is a fast friend of yours and is doing you good service. He feels entirely hopeful <hr /> Daily Tribune Railroad, Commercial and General Printing Office.

Many thanks for your kind expressions towards me personally and your offers of service. I am still on the Tribune, but don't know when I shall get my walking papers.

Freeport Ill. Dec 17th 1864 Hon. Richard Yates Dear Sir Your letter of the 13th inst in regard to United States Senator to be elected by the Illinois Legislature at its morning session is before me and its suggestions have been considered with care. Your frankness is indeed appreciated by me and invited an equal frankness in return I had hoped no other candidate would be proposed than yourself and supposed that none of the gentlemen named by you would consent to be placed in nomination against you. Until about the time of the meeting at the Fremont to which you refer I understood from some of Mr Washburnes particular friends that he was not a candidate. His friends say that a majority of the Union members of the Legislature though not United on any one Candidate are opposed to your election and say that they prefer Mr Washburne should be the successful man. So do I if you can not succeed <hr /> He has been our Congressman for 12 years and we know his capacity, energy, and Executive ability. He is our neighbor, and in our Senatorial and Judicial District. Many, if not all, of my political and personal friends here, are his friends and sworn admirers. Would it not seem strange if I should withhold from him the unanimous vote of his District? Yet though not inclined to oppose Mr Washburne I hope to see you elected. Your early outspoken convictions on the great questions that for more than twenty years have agitated the country accord with the sentiments I have entertained from boy hood, your faithful adherence to them alike when popular and unpopular deserve recompense and guarantee fidelity to the principles of Liberty and Justice in determining the Legislation which will be required for a reconstructed Union when the Rebellion is ended. I do not symathise with the efforts or arguments used to defeat you. I have been pained to hear of the defection of some whom <hr /> I had supposed to be your reliable friends. I have regretted to see men use your name and influence, to promote their own purposes, who did so, pleased that it created ill feeling and injured you. I distrusted the sincerity of the friendship of some, whose indiscretion, if nothing worse, asked your further indorsement in favor of one of the candidates for the Supreme Bench in this Grand Division, I pointed out to friends who had your confidence and should have made your interests paramount, that the nomination of candidates on the state ticket from the localities in the part of the State they desired would induce the combination you say has been made, and was the result most desired by the opposition to you. It is felt as a matter of injustice and complaint in the 2nd & 3d Congressional Districts, that though they give over one sixth of the total Republican vote of the State, except the worthless office of State Treasurer, they have never been permitted to have a candidate on the state Ticket.

Freeport Ill. Dec 17th 1864 Hon. Richard Yates Dear Sir Your letter of the 13th inst in regard to United States Senator to be elected by the Illinois Legislature at its morning session is before me and its suggestions have been considered with care. Your frankness is indeed appreciated by me and invited an equal frankness in return I had hoped no other candidate would be proposed than yourself and supposed that none of the gentlemen named by you would consent to be placed in nomination against you. Until about the time of the meeting at the Fremont to which you refer I understood from some of Mr Washburnes particular friends that he was not a candidate. His friends say that a majority of the Union members of the Legislature though not United on any one Candidate are opposed to your election and say that they prefer Mr Washburne should be the successful man. So do I if you can not succeed <hr /> He has been our Congressman for 12 years and we know his capacity, energy, and Executive ability. He is our neighbor, and in our Senatorial and Judicial District. Many, if not all, of my political and personal friends here, are his friends and sworn admirers. Would it not seem strange if I should withhold from him the unanimous vote of his District? Yet though not inclined to oppose Mr Washburne I hope to see you elected. Your early outspoken convictions on the great questions that for more than twenty years have agitated the country accord with the sentiments I have entertained from boy hood, your faithful adherence to them alike when popular and unpopular deserve recompense and guarantee fidelity to the principles of Liberty and Justice in determining the Legislation which will be required for a reconstructed Union when the Rebellion is ended. I do not symathise with the efforts or arguments used to defeat you. I have been pained to hear of the defection of some whom <hr /> I had supposed to be your reliable friends. I have regretted to see men use your name and influence, to promote their own purposes, who did so, pleased that it created ill feeling and injured you. I distrusted the sincerity of the friendship of some, whose indiscretion, if nothing worse, asked your further indorsement in favor of one of the candidates for the Supreme Bench in this Grand Division, I pointed out to friends who had your confidence and should have made your interests paramount, that the nomination of candidates on the state ticket from the localities in the part of the State they desired would induce the combination you say has been made, and was the result most desired by the opposition to you. It is felt as a matter of injustice and complaint in the 2nd & 3d Congressional Districts, that though they give over one sixth of the total Republican vote of the State, except the worthless office of State Treasurer, they have never been permitted to have a candidate on the state Ticket. Yet though appreciating this grievance, I do not think, and have so intimated to Mr Washburnes friends here, that I shall vote for him if you can be elected. Can it <hr /> be effected I have made inquiries personal and indirect as to the standing and predilection of members in this vicinity and in the hopes it may aid you give you the result so far as I believe their preferences are now.

The Adjutant is endorsed by Gen. John A. Logan, his former division commander, also by Gen. Slocum on whose staff he served for a short time. And by Gens. [Leggett?], Force, M, L.
