Sm;-On the Wednesday following the District
convention, TO which Dr.. Covert was delegate he
and myself were sitting in the door OF Chapmans
store in this town in common conversation. whca
you passing along stepped in the door and took n
seat with us. The conversation then turned upon
the subject of The convention and you requested Dr..
Covert to give you plain and candid statement of
his course in the proceedings of that convention, and
what his intentions in the course Of his state
mcnt, he distinctly said that his preferences were,
and had been in favor Of Major Icrron "nd that his
vote, given in the ballot for nomination, was intend
ed for Major Heron, and as he considered was civ
en- for Major Heron.
This is believe, nearly the identical language Of
DIR. Covert or, If there is the least variation from
his language, it conveys the identical substance aud
meaning Of what he did say.
