HERMITAGE July Sth 1914.

GENTLEMEN:
| have seen in the Grant County
Herald of the 9th inst, your letter, as
committee appointed by a public
meeting held at Lancaster on M onday
last, addressedto Messrs. Cruson, Chap
man and myself, and have no hesitation
in making the response requested of
me.
The state of my own business, has
rendered it necessary for some years
past, that | should abstain from politi-
cal affairs as much as is consistent with
the rights and duties Of a private citi-
zen. The nomination as candidate at
the ensuing election, was wholly unso
licited on my part; and | felt altogeth-
err Indifferent as to who should be Sc
lected by the meeting ofthe people SO
far as names are concerned: As | sta
ted in my address to the meeting held
at Lancaster on the second saturday in
June, if the men chosen as candidates
should be good men and true, did
not myself care who they were, in
what part Of the County they resided,
or whether they should be Wings or
Democrats. AS the choice of my Fell
low-Citizens has fallen upon me as one,
| do not feel at liberty TO withhold my
name from them if i, can be of use to
the Country; and can how, only offer
my humble thanks for their confidence,
and pledge my best exerton, (if cleo
ted to promote the interests of our
County and of the Territory.
AS to the act of the last Legislature
to which reference has been made, my
opinions gifts propriety and constitu
tionality, have been so often expressed,
both privately and publicly, that it
seems hardly necessary that they
should be reiterated. / believe that
have seen and heard all the grounds as
sumed in argument to sustain the act
by the friends of the measure. BY
some it is insisted that the Ordinance Of
1897, secures to unnaturalized foreign
ers the equal right with naturalzed
and native citizens. to participate in
the formation of state Government:
By some, precedent is referred 10 as
authority: Others go beyond these, and
contend that unnaturalized foreigners
have equal rights with citizens in this
paticular, Independent of any legisla-
ton npon the subject: while others a.
gain, have justified the measure on the
ground that it was the result ola scram-
BILE for popular favor between the
whig and democratic parties. None
of the reasons that have been offered,
have been sufficient to satisfy my mind,
or to raise even doubt upon the sub
iect. Since first examined the ques-
ton | have entertained but one opin-
ion in relation to it, and that is against
the law; both as to It's constitutionality
and its policy. So firmly am con-
WINGED, and so important do | consider
the subject, that | look upon it as the
duty of all patriotic citizens, whether
native or naturalized, to use all proper
and lawful means TO obtain repeal OF
the act. and as far as practicable, to OBJ
viate its effects. Such has been my
course in private life, and such It will
continue to be in whatever station l
may be placed.
lam, Gentlemen,
Your very ob't serv't,

ACCIDENT TO THE MASSACHUSETTS,
This splendid steamer broke one Of her
main shafts, on Saturday night last, on
her passage about half way, from New
York to Stonington, which will prevent
her running again for considerable time.
One Of the passengers on board at the
time Of the accident, informs us thgt the
crash caused by the breaking oflhe shaft,
and machinery connected, was very
heavy, and produced not little con-
sternation among the passengers for a
short time. The accident was soon,
however, explained, and the boat pro-
ceeded with single wheel to Stoning-
ton, arriving there about 0 o'clock on
Sunday morning. The Nnrragansett
