KING GEORGE, April 90 1sa9
GENTLEMEN: After manly struggle of three days, al
though verify believe have honestly and fairly
carried the election for this county, and will contend for
the seat the Legislature, yet, by the influence of foreign
votes, and other appliances and boot" which
will appear in the investigation we have been deprived
of the return:
"Oumumbered outbrayed we still oppose
Despair to daring. and a front foes"
Our triumph, however, is great one. From misera-
BILE little minority of 81 votes all told in 1896, have
by the force of truth and undertaking perseverance
Just cause attained present strength On the first
day, when the polls were opened, asked early de-
csion on the pIoPriety of closing them at sunset! and
we beat them three The second day closed with
six majority in favor Throughout the third till
half past o'clock in the evening, with the excep-
men having record title to vote, flooded and
sworn in upon us from other countries, we led from
two to seven votes We gave way before such
means and such Odds the return exhibits. 1t,
nevertheless, shows that the democrats who
posed the meeting, confirming Mr.. Holidays nom
icsm 10 the wings, have faithfully redeemed their
pledge, and it hoped il will fully explain the obfus.
Gated faculties of the Richmond Whg and its affiliated
vote for A. R. Holladay" Perhaps, too, the whg can
ddae determine whether it is the weakness and vo
lated pledges of the Taylor administration, the force of
his chaste and anecdo style of argument, which has
for him much fame, and thrown him forty three
behind his party since the presidential election in
the fall
For Congress.-Holladay, democrat, 150 Forbes,
wing, IA Democratic majority s.
For Senate-Chinn, democrat, lat; Harvey, whig
AS Wing majority 1.
For House of egates-Arnod, democrat, l52; Wal
lace, wing, 1874. Wing majority ,.
Tayor's majority in November 81.
We have always opposed TO convention. We
make il the "wachword for the fight" with uni
versal suffrage based upon residence of twelve months,
and registry law; single voting; courts organized
cordng to Mr. Jefersons plan and all officers elected
by the people; for would rather trust my Liberties to
western cupdity and the ignorance of the populace
than to the justice OF wings.
In infinite haste, yours.
