MISREPRE SENT.AIYON.
LEE COUNTY. Dec. 2S. 1910.

Mr. EDIToR:-I could scarcely repress
the indignation which yesterday felt in
reading for the first time in the Gazette
of a few weeks since, an article under the
above caption which contained the shame
less and insulting assertion that Gen.
Browne of the Council and Mr. Miller Of
the House, together with several other
wing members '.came from electoral dis
tricts that had gone decidedly against
whiggery" and owed their elections en-
.irely TO "Democratic Generosity" heav.
en- save the mark!-Such generosity is a.
kin to that of the man who, having rob.
bed you Of a part of your properly, mag
,saaimously leaves you the remainder
aUhich IS placed far beyond his reach.
The editor of the Gazette well knew
when he penned the article to which al
lude, that had the party lines been drawn
by the wings as was done by the locos,
not a single loco foco could have been
elected in this county.

The Printing.

This question was Up again i'll the
Council on Wednesday, 23d inst and was
decided in favor of ]. H. Mckinney.
As this was an exciting question and
elected much debate, and that the reader
may understand the course it took, and
the course taken by the so
called democratic portion of the Legis-
lature in relation thereto, it is proper to
say, that after all the public printing, ex-
cept the printing Of the laws, had been
Of and given to the Loco Foco
presses, the Council passed resolution
giving the Laws to the Hawkeye Office,
This esolution went to the House of
Representatives and was then amended
by striking out the name of ]. G. Ed
wards, and inserting John H. Mckinney.
On Wednesday the 23d inst. the Coun-
Gil passed a resolution to adjourn, with
the consent of the House, over the

and with all the chicanery which was u.s.
ed was only defeated % votes. And does
he not see that Daniel F. Miller, whig,
was elected to the House by lit votes.
over the highest loco foco candidate.
vi the two loco foco members of the
House from this county it is needless "a
speak; their terms of service will soon ex-
pre- ana venture to assert, without the
lear OF contradiction, that of such dele.
gailon no other=county can boast. such :
delegation zoe shall never again be able "a
eject; ''alas, we ne'er shall look upon their
like again.
Il will doubtless be the object Of the
.ocos, now that the "British whigs" are

not De wheedIed out of their votes in the
way that the wings of Lee have been bv
the syren song Of "no party" Make no
compromise with Loco focoism-true d,
instinct, it is always treacherous.
ms communication, Mr. Editor, has
extended to much greater length than
ih'enoeo when took up my pen, but I
deemed 1t due to the wings Of Lee conn
ty and to proper understanding Of the
matter IN other parts of our Territory. 10
say thus much in explanation of a result
SO extraordinary, as well as to refute the
assertions of the Gazette above alluded to:
and | take this occasion to caution him
against hereafter making such groundless
assertions, for whenever he does he NAV
expect 10 find me ''in town with a pock.

The navy, as will appear from the ac-
companving report of the secretary, has
been usefully and honorably employed in
the protection of our commerce and citi-
zens in the Mediterranean, the Pacific.
on the coast of Brazil, and in the Gulf of
Mexico. A small squadron, consisting
of the frigate CONSTELLATION and the sloop
of war Boston, under Com. Kearney, is
now on its way to China and the Indian
seas, for the purpose of attending to our
interest in that quarter; and commander
.Aulick, in the sloop of war Yorktown,
has been instructed to visit the Sandwich
and Society Islands, the coasts of New
Zealand and Japan, together with other
points and Islands frequented by our
whale ships, for the purpose of giving
them countenance and protection, should
they be required. Other smaller vessels
have been and still are, employedin pros
ecuting the surveys of the coast of the
United States, directed by various acts Of
Congress; and those which have been
completed will shortly be laid before you.
The exploring expedition, at the latest
date, was preparing to leave the Bay of
Islands. New Zealand, in further prosecu-
ton Of objects which have, thus far, been
successfully accomplished. The diseov-

A report from the secretary of war,
presenting a detailed view Of the affairs
ofthat department, accompanies this COM
munication. At
The rdesultory duties connected with
The removal of the Indians, in which the
army has been constantly engaged on the
northern and western frontiers and in
Florida, have rendered it impracticable to
carry into full effect the plan recommend
sdby the secretary for improving its dis
eipline. In every instance where the
regiments have been concentrated, they
have made great progress; and the best
results may be anticipated from a continu-
ance Of this system. During the lastsea-
SON. part Of the troops have been en-
ployed in removing Indians from the inte-
rior to the territory assigned them in the
wes.-a duty which they have perform
Cd efficiently, and with Praise-wor,hy
humanity; and that portion OF them which
has been stationed in Florida continued
active operations throughout the heats Of
summer. s.se sf
The policy Of the United States in re-
gard 70 the Indians, Of which a succinct
accountis given in my message Of 1888,
and Of the wisdom and expediency Of
which lam fully satisfied, has been con-
dnssd IN active operation throughout the
whole period Of my administration.
