an address was reported, which was opposed by Mr.
Gardner of Dedham. He said
Mr.. Mann, in his opinion, gooda Wing as
anybody I'M the State, and he demanded answer to
the question, when and where that gentleman had moi
shown himself to be true Wing, either in speech
act. For himself, Mr. Gardner proessed to be Wing,
and a true Wing, and he had always voted the Wing
tlcket-though sometimes the nominations had bee n
rather hard TO swall0W-and he should vote for Mr.
Valley now, since he was the candidate. As to Mr.
Mann he (Nlr not in favor of his nomination

him of mssatng facts, and seeking to sheer Mr. Mann
out of political existence.
