Summary

William E. Chandler was a representative on the Republican National Committee from Concord, New Hampshire. Chandler criticizes President Rutherford B. Hayes for abandoning his campaign pledge to defend civil rights of Blacks in the South and for betraying southern Blacks and his party by appointing renegade Democrats to public office, especially in South Carolina and Louisiana. Garrison's letter confirms Chandler's views about Hayes and his policy of favoring southern whites over Blacks.
