| extracted from Published circular over his own
signature, VIZ:
II can only say, that if l know my
self, shall at all times feel myself in
structed to give the vote of OLD
WAYNE, HONESTLY to the best
of my knowledge, not only on this sub
Iject, but on all questions on which l
shall have a vote to give"
Thus you perceive that rithom the vote of the
expelled Mr.. Beall, the Wing majority of Indiana
were safe in that contest, If Mr.. Hoover had .ui-
filled his pligh,ed faith. He did not do so. He
voted only for Mr. Smith upon two ballots, and
when he knew the possibility of his election TO
be out Of the question. After this he went over
to our opponents, aud aided them IN the success
which they achieved
Still, Fellow citizens, 1ritfo1t Mr.. Hoover's
vote, If tho protested Wings had all remained
faithful, the power was Yet III our own hands, by a
tie cote, 10 have obeyed the law by proceeding To
the ballot, and in addition, TO have referred the
the cantcs: 10 your hands. But they were not
all faithful. There was traitor IN our ranks.
Dtnie KeIso. pretended Wing Senator from
the county OF Switzerland came here among Us
alleging that he had caHvassed his county, and
wGs elected upon Il pledge tha, he would sustain
Mr.. joseph q. Marshall. "A Wing candidate for
the office of U,iI-d States Senator.
He was believed hy ~, receig ed by us, and

atec pledges IN our presence. saietuDly nIade by
appeals To the Almighty, that, IN no event, would
he cast his vote secure the election 10 he
Unt'ed States Senate modern democrat Ere.
qneni, too, were his asseverations that he would
never rote for any thus styled democrat. a. the

instructed vote for +. A. Howard, but that he
would never do so Ga the very night preceding
the election, he renewed all his former assuran-
ces, and then soiemnly avowed his determination
to stand by his party Qhough he might not vote
with them,) to snch an extent as to prevent their
defeat. Unfortunately for himself, for US, for you
and for oar common country, this man falsihed all
his pledges! lie broke faith with US, because no
voted for MIR. iaunneg1n, we'll knowing that the
entire modern democratic party IN the Senatorial
Convention had united upon him. and that his
single vote controlled our fate. He broke ftIih
with his constituents, because he refused the most
urgent appeals TO for Mr.. Marshall upon
whose name he prefassed to have canyassed his
county. lie broke faith with those whom he pre-
tended had instructed him, because he refused TO
vote for 'FIIghman A. Howard, he alleged They
had required him 10 do. And by this single and
mos, perfifiious act he handed Us over TO our po-
!I'lcai foes!
Fellow citizens, these are the wrongs you have
sustained. and with you lies the power 10 right
them. Unless you exercise that power, faction
must continue TO usurp the sceptTe OF law, and
passion and partsarism to stalk reason and
The Constitution. Shall your legally elected mem
0ers hereafter BIO hurled, like dogs, from their
seats, without evidence, and denied the meanest
offices of Justice? Shall defauIters polluie your

lions of the law? Shall the voca Of sixteen
hundred maj ority of your voters be hushed by
he trickery Of Representative 10 whose honor
hey too credulousy conided? Shall premiums
be held out to the perpetrators OF treason, that
,ilest and meanest of crimes? God forbid! And |
I rests alone with you, you who hold the power |
If you would but exert iD in your hands; you |
