claimed that General James. The Senator
from Rhode Island, who was supposed
to be democrOl,is whig. Mr.. Holden,
a wbig member Of the Legislature, who

for Presidents in 1910; he voted for Mr..
Clay for President in lsd4. In 1s4S, at
The lime the election Of the last Presi.
dent, he was absent from the State, upon
Lake Erie. Had he been here we are
assured, he would have voted Cor Gen.
Taylor for President. He voted for his

for Governor Of this State. What better
assurance can any man give of whig SEN
tmenls than these votes, reaching back
for the last ten years?"
The Providence Journal, however, is
not satisfied with Mr. Holden's letter,
and regards his course as rank treason
