county, in 1925, when David Trimhle spoke, and
Major Thomas Marshall replied TO said Trimble;

Mr.. Trimble observed, Z" AS 20 the late Presden-
friend s. fellow citizen, H. Clay; but Mr.. Clay
not returned TO the House OF Congress by the col
iege of electors Those that were returned were
Gen. Jackson, John Q. Adams, and Mr.. Crawford.
When we got to the City of w Washington, we found
Nr. Crawford out of the question, the contest was
between Gen. Jackson and John Q. Adams. We
ascertaned that If jackson was elected President,
our friend, Henry Clay, would not be offered the
sppoin m mt of Secretary OF State, and then
ascertained that John q. Adams would appoint our
friend, Henry Clay, Secretary of State: under
those circumstances, ifyou expected me TO vote for
Gen. jackson, you expected me to do that which L
could not, and would not do. L state this from my
momory oil the transaction may possibly have
erred in words; but believe | am correct as
TO the substance of Mr.. Trimble's speech. have
frequently spoken of this speech, and heard it re-
pcated in substance by others, and never heard it
denied until since last August election.

TriKbie; and he stated that Mr.. Trimble's friends
Clay and Adams, would not thank him for what he,
Trimb,e, had stated, as it established the old story

speech IN Lewis county, at the Courthouse, |
tnink in the year 1925, that the only truth Major
Dasia Trimhie stated in his Speech and that he
believed TO be truc was, that the friends of Henry
Clay voted against Gen. Jackson because they as
certaned that he would not agree to appoint Mr..
Clay Secretary of State and voted in favor of Mr..
Adams, because they ascertained he would appoint
their friend Mr. Clay Secretary of State; and Mar
shall further stated, that Mr. rs friends, Clay and
