Kellogg Claims Persecution Over 1876 Louisiana Electors
Kellogg says his 1876 actions as Louisiana governor saved the Republican Party and accuses the Grant administration of conspiracy to steal the presidency. He cites Chandler’s telegram, forged certificates, and a plan to stage a civil conflict to prevent Tilden's victory. The account details the Returning Board, the forged electors, and the political intrigue surrounding the disputed Louisiana votes.
