Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1859-08-29

Ma. EDron Ny friend, Judge spaldiug'
instead Of replying to my communication with
snocr, should have acknowledged his obliga'
ton 70 me for furnishing him an occasion for
appearing in your paper, and advertiaing HE
political engagements.
It was owing 10 tho 'huuy Of preparation
10 take bis place in Lorain and Medina, among
ihs Republican speakers Of hs campaign" I"
doubtless, that he was led into the mistake Of
supposiug that attributed the authorship Of
the article urging the reorganization Of MS
Parsons to him None but he, am sure-and
he in a hurry can discover in my article
anything duplicating him rs tee writer Of the
one TO which niue was a reply.
But If ! had referred TO him as the author,
what is there in my article iutimating that in
the support of his friend and partner he
was influenced by any selfish object 7" His
haste 20 vindicate himself in this respect, as In
the other, was wholly uncalled for. With some
persons it, of itself, might excite suspicious In
this regard. With him it cannot.
| No, Sir; l only mentioned Ju ige Spalding in
connection with matters fairly bearing on the
subject. Mr.. Parsons had been ushered into
notice, as a candid ,te, with alleged claims
the present, time, aud thought it elevated him
a little too high. Reasons We're urged in favor
! Of his re election which ] thought codtd best
answer by referring TO what had been said and
done at another time and place. Hence
referred to Judge Spslding's speech at the
| Painesvle Convention, not knowing that he
doubted-I did not know that he eUer doubted
If he did right in making it. ....
| Will Mr.. Wade take office that Judge Spald.
log doubts if he did right in opposing his re
nomination. Will Mr.. Wades friends take
noucel 1t is important that this doubt should
be published.
But Mr.. Wade it seems had been elected
three times, and that changes the principle
Not st all If Mr.. Parsons is the best man
elect him. If Mr.. Wade is the best man, elect
him, as long as he win serve. Elect the man
! who will do the best service, whether he is in
! or out of Office But do not urge the election
of Mr.. Parsons, as Republican does, by insinu.
ations against other candidates. But for that
| should not have written a word.
Judge Spalling informs US that Mr.. Parsons,
If elected, will warmly support Governor Chase
for Senator. l am obliged to the Judge for
this hint. l am aware it has been stated by
| Mr. Parsons friends that Mr. Coon would vote fol
Governor Corwin. The statement is wholly
untrue. It is made, 1 am assured, though not
for the purposes of this article, without a
shadow of foundation.
do not say Mr. Parsons has given currency
to this charge. 1t is his friends
The writer of this yields to no one in his
devotion to Gov. Chase. 1t dates farther back
than that of the Judge or his partner II de-
sires his election to a higher place than Sena
tor, as ne did in 1856 He hopes, however
that his election TO either place is not contin
gent upon the election of r. c. Parsons to the
Legislature. He hopes and believes that the
friends ofthe Governor, in this county, include
many besides those composing the distinguish
ed firm Of Spalding d Parsons.
