represent . faction, disloyal faction at

your election By fraudulent professions Of
devotion to the Urion, and in the absence
Of one hundred thousand Of the loyal SONS
If Illinois, who we're in the field combat
Ting armed traitors, It was By depriring
these hundred thousand gallant and patri-
otic citizens Of their franchise that you got
elected.
Coppcrheads! you know that had the
soldiers been at home, OF allowed to vote
in their camps, one half Of you would have
been 1cpudiated at the polls. You don't
represent the majority Of the people in any
