Chicago April 2d 1862 Hon Richard Yates. My Dear Sir: I have delayed, from day to day, answering your letter, hoping that Blodgett would return from Pea Ridge, & that after seeing him, I could give you some good news from that quarter. He has not yet returned & lest you should misconstrue my silence I thought I would drop you a line. I want to see Blodgett, and [secure?] him if possible, and I am strongly in hopes that I can do so. I have certain strings to pull on him, which I think cannot fail to bring him. After seeing Blodgett, I <hr /> will endeavor to see all the all or nearly all the persons referred to by you, & in short I will devote all of my time to secure your election & to defeat the constitution. The Journal of this city & the Tribune are all right on the Constitution. The Journal will be out tomorrow with a strong leading editorial. The Democrat (German) is also opposed. The Telegraph (German) will remain neutral. The Staats Zeitung has not yet assumed a position. I have had several interviews with Capt Schneider, one of the Editors. He is opposed, but [Brenthano?], his position is doubtful. I cannot learn definitely what <hr /> the Times & Post intend to do but am informed that there is a prospect that both will approve. Wentworth is not so fierce for the Constitution as he was a few days since. He [discovers?] a stronger opposition than he expected & if he is satisfied that it will be defeated in this city, he will, I think, at least remain neutral. It is generally supposed here that he will be a candidate for Mayor. I will write you again after seeing Blodgett or perhaps may run down & see you. Very truly yours E. Peyn Ferry <hr /> Hon. E. P.

I intended to go to Chicago to report to see you. And Was Much disappointed to learn that you had gone. I was very anxious to see you in relation to Genl MClernand. He relies upon you to appoint him. He thinks that Grant has [violated?] the order of Prest in depriving him of the Command of the Expedition. Although second in Command he is a mere cipher. He has been appointed by Grant to the smallest corps of the army numbering less than 3,000 & the duty imposed upon him of guarding the Miss river from [Nulina?] to Vicksburg thus actually Making a mere police officer of him. With no opportunity of distinction for active service. You will at once perceive that it is a very different position from that he supposed he would occupy and he feels keenly the disgrace. {Wallich?] is at the bottom of the Whole Matter.

Waukegan Nov 14th/64. My Dear Governor. No one can rejoice More than I do, that you have carried the Legislature. & that you will in all human probability be Elected to the Senate. It is needless for me to say that you are preeminently Entitled to the position and that if you do not receive Every Rep vote in both Houses it will be violation of the Known and Expressed wishes of the Entire Masses of our party. As well as a great outrage upon yourself. I do not expect any difficulty but we can never be too safe. I would therefore suggest that it would be a good plan for you at once to address a letter personally to each Member <hr /> Elect - Who is not already positivly pledged to you. - Stating your candidacy and soliciting his vote. My opinion is that this will elicit a favorable reply in probably Every case. & thus the Matter will be positively settled. The Writing of these letters cannot possibly result injuriously and may be very beneficial. There can be no impropriety in it as you are Known and recognized as a candidate. There may be some Members Who are yet undecided Who Would be pleased & honored & Consequently "fixed" by a letter from "Gov Yates." This may be placing a low Estimate upon the Mentality of Illinois Law Makers, yet my Experience is that slighter Causes frequently Control greater Minds than I think many of them have. I do not fear the result in the Republican Caucus <hr /> You will undoubtedly receive the caucus nomination but I fear some game on the part of Copperheads. Our Majority is not large. Suppose that the Copperheads could draw off Six or Seven of our men. in other Words. one more than half of our majority to the support of some Republican for whom they would all vote. The result would be his Election. You May think this cannot be done. That the democratic Members would not find themselvs to a scheme of this kind. I know that you have deservedly many friends in that party. That you are personally popular with a great many. Yet some of the leaders May take this view. Gov Yates is the acknowledged <hr /> head & leader of the Republican party in the state & the recognized candidate for the Senate. If We defeat him it is a quasi defeat of the Republican party. Especially as the Man for Whom the state will be Elected. Although he is not a member of our party. You will recollect Gov that Senatorial Contests have thus resulted. Chase was first elected to the Senate by the Entire vote of the Whig members. With the vote of free soil democrats. When the united democracy had a large majority. This case is not quite parallel yet sufficient to show that a political party has cast its Entire Legislative vote for a man who had been in opposition to them all his life. Merely for the purpose of <hr /> defeating the regular candidate of their opponents. My fears may be wild & groundless. I hope they are. & I assure you they arise only from My intense desire that you should be Elected. I know that nothing in the political future can be certain and I feel that too much cannot be done to secure your success. Four years ago Genl Washburne in Wisconsin had as he supposed a majority of Rep Numbers pledged to him for the Senate. We rested upon this. Remained at Washington & the result Was the Election of Jim Horne. In Trust my dear Gov dont rest too securely & allow the prize <hr /> now within your grasp to escape. or be Stolen from you. I shall return to Nashville in about ten days or two weeks. Would be very glad to see you in Chicago & Consult before I leave. I am inclined to think that a few days Could be profitably spent by you in Chicago With the Cook delegation. The importance of the nine votes from Cook Co solid for you cannot be overestimated. If however I do not see you allow me to say that it is not my intention to return from Tenn again until spring but When the Legislature meets if there is a man Who is not for you & Whom I can possibly reach With influence, persuasion or money, telegraph Me & I will be in Springfield in 36 to 48 hours.

Nashville Dec 11th 1864 My Dear Governor, Yours of the 3d was recd last Evening. Before leaving home I ascertained that Washburne <pre>was a candidate. He was </pre> in Chicago the day I left, but I did not see him. J. J. Cory (not the Doct., the Doct. is his Father) Editor of the Gazette recd from some source, a strong article in favor of Washburne, With a request, "please insert," He brought the article to Me & I insisted that it would not be published. Cory who is my Bro in Law is your fast friend. Be Kind <hr /> enough to drop him a friendly line. he will appreciate it. He was at Springfield a few weeks since & thought he was treated rather coolly in your office. I informed him that it could not have been intentional. I am aware that Col Payne is doubtful. I sent for him on the 29th of last month & had a long interview with him at my office in Chicago. He said he intended to carry out the wishes of the people of [Ad?] Co. in reference to Senator. He said that you were the choice of a very large Maj. of the people. in fact he had seen only one man who was opposed to you. but he refused to pledge himself. I am afraid of him. His Father & Washburne <hr /> are old friends. Haines Controls him. He is Haines partner. If Haines is for you, all will be right. I dont think Haines is Sound, however. You will recollect, that Haines was a candidate & I opposed him. Blodgett was my candidate. Blodgett beat Haines badly in the Election of delegates. On the morning of the Convention Payne was brought out by Haines friends as a com promise candidate & was nominated. From this you will perceive that Payne thinks he is under no obligation to Me for his Election. Although I did not oppose his nomination I know of but one thing <hr /> to pull upon him. Which is if he votes against you he can never be reelected. I have no doubt of your Election. yet no effort should be spared, to secure succefs.

Nashville Dec 11th 1864 My Dear Governor, Yours of the 3d was recd last Evening. Before leaving home I ascertained that Washburne <pre>was a candidate. He was </pre> in Chicago the day I left, but I did not see him. J. J. Cory (not the Doct., the Doct. is his Father) Editor of the Gazette recd from some source, a strong article in favor of Washburne, With a request, "please insert," He brought the article to Me & I insisted that it would not be published. Cory who is my Bro in Law is your fast friend. Be Kind <hr /> enough to drop him a friendly line. he will appreciate it. He was at Springfield a few weeks since & thought he was treated rather coolly in your office. I informed him that it could not have been intentional. I am aware that Col Payne is doubtful. I sent for him on the 29th of last month & had a long interview with him at my office in Chicago. He said he intended to carry out the wishes of the people of [Ad?] Co. in reference to Senator. He said that you were the choice of a very large Maj. of the people. in fact he had seen only one man who was opposed to you. but he refused to pledge himself. I am afraid of him. His Father & Washburne <hr /> are old friends. Haines Controls him. He is Haines partner. If Haines is for you, all will be right. I dont think Haines is Sound, however. You will recollect, that Haines was a candidate & I opposed him. Blodgett was my candidate. Blodgett beat Haines badly in the Election of delegates. On the morning of the Convention Payne was brought out by Haines friends as a com promise candidate & was nominated. From this you will perceive that Payne thinks he is under no obligation to Me for his Election. Although I did not oppose his nomination I know of but one thing <hr /> to pull upon him. Which is if he votes against you he can never be reelected. I have no doubt of your Election. yet no effort should be spared, to secure succefs. It will be impofsible for me to go home before the Legislature meets. I have been absent so much during the past summer & fall, that the businefs of the office in more than one quarter behind. Our [Duty?] report is not yet sent on. One of the [illegible] is Completed to go to Washington. next week, but let the consequences be what they may, I will be in Springfield. On the 30th or 31st inst. & will adopt some plan to secure Col Payne's vote for you. I will have my wife meet me in Springfield which will save the time that would be occupied in going home.

Aurora May 25/63 Hon. Richard Yates I learn that there are charges made against Capt. Gibbs who, raised a Cavalry Company for the 16 Reg now at Camp [Butler?] from this place. I do not know what the charges are but from what I have heard I think they are trivial. Capt Gibbs I have known for years and he is an honest man. He has worked hard to raise his company and should not be sacrificed unless guilty. I hear it intimated that the charges are made to get his place. I hope you will see justice done him. Respectfully yours E. R. Allen <hr /> File "A." E R Allen Aurora May 25 1863.
