settle that doubt by referring to the vote
Of the BiUics Union party in this county
in lsG2-.and the vote in this county is q
fair sample Of the yoto of that party in the
District
Mr.. Waite received in this county /, 1921
votcsi Mr. Phelps, tho Copporhoad candi.
dato for Congress, received 80 votes; Mr..
Armstrong, the Copperhead candidate for
Secretary Of State, received 7i5 votes. AS
Mr.. waitc's nano was printed on tickets
with the Copperhcad State officers, tho diff
ference between Mr.. Armstrong; voto and
Mr., Phelps vote, will show tho number of
men who voted for Mr.. Waite, yet sup
ported tho Copporhcad State tiokot. This
difference Is 600, which being taken from
Mr.. Waitc's vote, shows that only 63l mon
in this county, who voted for Mr.. Waite,
supported tho Union State ticket, and were
honestly entitled to be called Union" men.
Mr.. Ashley received, in this county, 1893
votes. If, therefore, wo consider tho two
District Committees, as representing the
number Of Union mon in thcir respect
i've parties who voted the Union State
Ticket we find that tho Committee
which issued the present call, represented
1893 Of tho Union men of this county
while the Committee in whose behalf the
Bi1,ie is now laboring, represented only
03s Union men? Or docs tho BlIio claim
that the men who voted for MIR. Waite and
tho Copperhoad State ticket at the same
timo, woro good Union mcn2 If it docs
not claim this, and is willing to abide the
action Of majority of the Union party,
why has it adopted the course which it is
! now pursuing?
We wish il understood that in referring
to tho voto of the Waite party in this coun.
ty, We have done 80 without tho least de.
sire to wound tho feelings of n single Union
man connected with it-but rather to show
in ,choSo behalf the Bidcie is 80 ready to en-
danger the welfare of tho Union cause il
this district Nearly year since, tina
party held convention in this county, to
appoint delegates to tho State, Senatora
and Representative Conventions Of last year
The Union men unquostionably acted il
good faith; but after tho adjournment o
their Convention, about half its mombers
,cho had helped to appoint delegates to Tic
Union ConUentiOns, went into Copper
head caucus, and appointed delegates 10 q
Copperhedd State Conreation Such wal
the party which appointed tho District
Committee which the BIGde now wishes
tho Union party to recognize.
TO the honor of tho Union mon of thai
party DO it said, that after tho above
exhibition of duplicity, they utterly
abandoned that organization, and hor
mony has since prevailed among tn,
Union men of this county; and we be
liovc that the most persistent efforts o
the Biatio will not bo able to take any o
them into such a disroputable organization
as that paper led them into two years since
Concerning the recent attempts of th'
Blade, there can hardly be but ono opinion
among candid Union mon. While beinl
clamorous for harmony, it has bo0n uncoas
ing in efforts which it we'll knew wero SOW
ing strife and bitterness; while saying lie
this matter be referred to the people,"
bitterly dcnounccs and opposes the actio
of Committee which has "re(orred tn
matter to tho people," whilo proclaiming
"Lct by.gonos DO by-goncs," it has bee,
constant in its efforts to bring up everything
in the rast which can produce hatred ant
wran9ling among tho Union men Of the Dis
trict. All this, and much more, has
done or attempted to do, until, in our hor
est opinion, there is but one word in on
language which clearly and fully describe
its present StdtIS--" HYPoCRITE
