peper thai ever came under my obeervs-

tlsman vas fairly announced by the press
Of The district - . candidate, why was it
necessary for the State 1Ssntral committee
70 resort to the secret circular system to
advise their friends Of his candidacy p
If it were known to his party friends and
generally known to the people of the dis
trict, why resort to q secret circular and
send it to the friends of the gentleman in
the several counties Of the 1is1gict aasi-s
sing them to put his name on their tick
cts as candidate ! deny that there
was public notice given to the people Of
the district, aud l will show that by some
other evidence in the case.
In this way we find the gentleman get
ting before the people, a. he terms it, as
a candidate for Congress- But Insist
that the first step necessary to be taken
to I'LL q vacancy in the representation Of ,
State in Congress does not appear in this
case at ala step required By the Con-
situation Of the United States, which the
gentleman seems to have overlooked en-
tirely, as he did not allude to il IN his AZ
gument. He says the Law Of Iowa does
not require any proclamation or writ Of
election but what does the Constitution
OF the United States say about it? The
second section of the FIRST article of the
Constitution declares that when "vacan-
cies happen in the represention of any
Shes, the executive authority thereof
shai Issue writs Of election to Eli such
vacancies.". - $3.50. .a
Now, it is not claimed that writ Of
election was Issued in the second con.
gressionAl district Of Iowa. And yet the
gentleman admits that = writ was issued
fer tho 6Fss eesgressiooal district to q
the vacancy occssioned BY the reeigna.
ton Of my predecessor. General Curtis
The result Was that the people of'the 6rs
congressional district had the notice con.
templatsd by the Constitution, and there
fore could Have fair and impartial cleo.
ton but the people Of the second con.
grsssfOnal district had no Saoh neti0e,
because the Governor did not believe, no,
did any one else believe, that vacancy
existed in that district, aud none did ex.
ist- The result of the election sviden-
ces not only the absence Of the oonstitu.
tional notice, but also that the people
knew there was no vacancy in their rep
resention.
i This table (the election returns show.
that while the people Of the district cas-
