Letter from James Miller Ropes in Laconia, NH, to "Friends in New Hampshire" dated September 7, 1894. In the letter, Ropes discusses who they should work towards getting elected for the U.S. Senate. He discusses the Catholic vote and how the Democratic Party intends to use this against Henry W. Blair and Cyrus A. Sulloway, neither of which he believes should be allowed. Ropes ends the letter by stating that Chandler should be defeated for his views on the A.P.A. [American Protective Association] and by stating that if Chandler doesn't like them, then he shouldn't get their votes. A postscript states the letter should be destroyed after reading.
