Table of Contents:
1 Howard and Wade ascribed the present difficulty to President Lincoln's course on the reconstruction bill in 1864, and thought that his action was in substance the same as his successor's.
3 Julian's ‘Political Recollections,’ p. 268.
4 At Ravenna, O., July 4. Works of J. A. Garfield, vol. i. p. 85.
5 Sherman, speaking at Circleville, O., June 10, showed himself friendly to negro suffrage (New York Tribune, June 14), and Morrill of Vermont spoke in favor of it before the Republican convention of that State.
6 July 4, at Pittsfield. (Springfield Republican, July 19.) This journal agreed fully with Mr. Dawes's view, and sustained President Johnson, June 12. Mr. Dawes had taken the same position in a speech in the House, Feb 20, 1865.
7 Julian's ‘Political Recollections,’ pp. 260-268. George W. Julian at once replied to Morton in the Indiana ‘True Republican,’ and also in speeches.
8 Letter to Sumner, November 21. At the Union Club in Boston, November 7, the Governor and Henry Ward Beecher had a spirited encounter with Sumner when Governor Parsons of Alabama was present to solicit a loan for that State. (Boston Commonwealth, November 25.) Governor Andrew, as his valedictory message in January, 1866, shows, was not in entire accord with Republican methods of reconstruction.
