MONROE,LA., JULY 5, 1886.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN 5th.
DISTRICT
CUSTOMHOUSE, NEW ORLEANS, LA.,
Surveyor's Office, July, 2, 2886.
lion. Geo. W. McOranie, Monroe, La.
Dear Sir:-My attention has just
this moment been called to the
following item clipped from the
Shreveport Times:
,"Col. George W. McCranle, of Mon
roe, has written an open letter to Col.
C. H. Moore, chairman of the Boat
ner executive committee, asking when
his committee is to meet, and where."
I am very sorry not to have seen
"your open letter" so that I could
have answered it fully and squarely.
I have been extremely anxious to
take all necessary steps to bring about
harmony and brotherly feeling ,withl
our ranks. For 2 days I havebeen enm
gaged constantly in writing to mem,
bers of the committee, of which I am
chairman, and will act as soon as I
from them, and ascertain their
es and wishes.
Iiad hoped the call for the meet
lin of the two committees could
have been mutual between Mr. Cran
dall and myself, for reasons which I
have set forth to my committee, this
could not be done, Though
this has not been done, I have such
great confidence in the love of all
classes for our party, that I am sure
the people will see that the aspirations
of no particular man, nor the opposi
tion of any class shall produce farther
discord, or create factions.
If you will kindly furnish me with
a copy of the open letter referred to, I
will attempt to answer.
Very respectfully and truly yours,
C. H. MooRE.

ferred to by Col. Moore.-ED. TEL.]
Hon. C. H. Moore, New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir-Mr. A. W. Crandall, I no
tice, bah called a meeting of his com
mittee to be held at Rayville, July 2.
What action do you, as chairman of
your committee propose to take? If
suggestions are in order, I would sugi
gest that you call a meeting of your
committee for the same time and
place. The reasons for this are obs
vious. It is highly desirable that all
dissensions in the party should be.
healed before the congressional cam.
paign opens, and it appears to me
that this can be accomplished only by
the united action of the two commits
tees. It will not be sufficient for your
committee to remain silent. If you
could guarantee that your committee
would meet soon afterwards and can
dorse the action of July 2d, that
would be a partial solution of the
difficulty, but by no means so satis.
factory as the united action of the two
committees.
The matter deeply interests all who
have at heart the future good of the
party and I hope will meet earnest
consideration at your hands.
An early reply would grealy oblige,
Yours truly,
GEO. W. MCCRANIE,

A special from Washington dated
the 3d, inst., to the New Orleans States
says: "The Senate Commerce com
mittee will report favorably on the
bill authorizing the Mississippi and
Louisiana Railroad Company to build
a bridge over the Mississippi at that
point-" With a bridge across the
Mississippi at Natchez, the proposed
North and South Railroad could tap
the Natchez and Red River Railroad
some where In Catahoula parish, or is
it possible that the object of a bridge
across the Mississippi at Natchez is
for the purpose of diverting that road
from the Ouachita country ?

gram has been received from them as
king that a committee of our citizens
go to that place and confer with them.
This is the most favorable move the
syndicate has made toward us and it
has been decided to send Messrs. J.
W. Lambert, J, N. Carpenter, I. Low

ster to meet them with instructions
