Stevenson asks that his copies of the Freeman's Journal be sent to Frankfort instead of to Covington, and feels that if McMaster paid a visit to Kentucky when the legislature is in session, he could get many more subscriptions for the paper. Stevenson asks McMaster to recall an old prophecy made years ago by a mutual friend, and he feels that the Democratic victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania may foreshadow a Democratic victory in 1868. He also suggests that McMaster use his influence to have the National convention held after the Republicans have shown their hand. He feels that Kentucky will vote for George H. Pendleton, though Horatio Seymaour will gain some following. Stevenson scouts the idea that a Republican nomination of Grant would precipitate Sherman's nomination, for he feels that with the Democratic reaction, they can beat Grant or anyone else with a true, tried, bold democratic statesman. If the reaction does not continue, then Grant could win despite anyone they could put up. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
