"MR. GEORGE W. SMITH, GREYSTONE, YONKERS.
"WASHINGTON, D. C., _July 2nd, 1885_.
"DEAR SIR,--I made inquiry, to-day, as to the appointment
of Mr. Noyes as government director of the Union Pacific Railway
Company,[34] and received the copy, which I append.
[34] As Mr. Noyes had been one of the conspicuous Republican
emissaries from Washington to corrupt the electoral vote in the
South in 1876, Mr. Tilden regarded his appointment by Mr. Cleveland
to any public office as not only a personal indignity to him but as
an outrage to the country.
"I had previously advised the appointment of Mr. Canda.
"Faithfully yours,
"DANIEL MANNING."

"_Tuesday, 2._
"DEAR MR. MANNING,--Noyes was appointed at the suggestion
of Governor Hoadley, who was here when the President and Secretary
of the Interior were considering the matter.
"D. S. LAMONT."
