But as have said those frauds were not con-
fined to Hamilton county, they were wide spread
and never can be but partially exposed. hold
in my hand an expose of the frauds practiced in
Philadelphia, as corrupt and as alarming as those
which have partially exposed, as practised in
Hamilton county. also hold in my hands the
Glentworth frauds as practised in New York,
which can only be equalled in infamy by those
which | have named The limits of a speech
will not permit any thing more than mere sy-
nopsis Of those frauds. | will ask the clerk to
read some extracts exposing the more glaring
abuses practised in Philadelphia. will also ask
the clerk TO read some short extracts ofthe Client

Mr.. Speaker, have nothing 10 say of the po-
ltical crime, and moral depravity involved in
holding a seat on this floor, obtained by such
means as those disclosed by these reports, only
so far as ! and my constituents are concerned.
The individuals who it is said were returned to
this House by this system of fraud, were Charles
Naylor of Phiildolpha; Edward Curtis, Moses
GnnneIl, Ogden Hoffman, and James Monroe of
New York and n. 9. Pendleton of Ohio. How
many more have been returned know not, nor
3 it my present purpose to inquire, Except as to
the member from Ohio) Ofthem leave others
10 speak, with the single remark, that present
honor gained by such frauds and treason viii be
future iniamy and contempt. But repeat, that
| have something TO say Of these frauds as con-
nected with those have the honor to represent.
The people of the first congressional district Of
Ohio had no representative in the 27th Congress
of their choice. N. G. Pondleton, ESQ. of Gin

br0ad seal Of Ohio; and by virtue of that certifi-
cate and broad seal he appeared and took his
seat here; ut he was no representative of the
people Of ~ district which the broad seal rep
resented him to be. lie was the representative
of minority Of the people of the first congress
sional district Of Ohio, and ruflians, thieves, and
cut.throas of Kentucky, and of other States and
counties without the disrictpf his residence; and
if Mr. Pendleton held seafhtse, knowing those
facts, he held it in the guilt Of treason and in
crime Of perjury. He may not have known
them, though every body else in the word beside
know them. Mr. Pendeton, in all the frauds,
periuries, brberes, and treasons which charac-
terized the elections of 1910, all over tae Union
but more especially in the Ohio first congression-
al district, may have been political automation
or mere man-machine, and, like Balaam's ass,
moved merely as he was kicked into passive ac-
ton and obedience. Ifso, he must be dischar-
ged from any mputaton of immortality or crime,
and the charge placed to his stupidity under
take TO say there was not one dollar short of fifty
thousand expended in and out Of Hamilton coun-
ty, 10 secure the election of the whig candidate
Of that district; and no man who has character
for truth and vcracty, and who wishes TO main
tain that character, and who is acquainted with
