To the Democracy Of Elk Co
Your delegates appointed at the late
County Convention, to attend The Rep.
rcsentative C0ny0ntion at Luthersburg.
Ciearield county Pa, respectfully offer
t. YOU the following statement in expla.
nation Of their action while at that place.
They proceeded to the appointed place Of
meeting and there met the delegate.
from the counties OF Cltarfcld and
Forest. Having been informed that
the delegates from the former county
would, under all circumstances. support
DR. +. j. Boyer and insist On his uomi.
nation, they obtained an interview with
the delegates from Forest county in or,
der to ascertain their opinions On the
subject. These gentlemen Informed
them that they were entirely unip
structed and would willingly cast their
votes for the candidate from Elk
county, il case they could be convinced
that Clearlield county was not entitled
to the Candidate, aud that Or. Boyer
had pledged himsolfnot to ask the nom

proved TO them that Cicariield county
vas uot entitled to the candidate this
year, and that she was not cutitlel to
it last year, but that it had hecG OBTAIN

and mi4staiemqnts They next showed
them letters from DR. Boyer, one writ

the same year, in which that gentleman
distinctly states to one OF your delegates,
that lie will not ask the nomination this
year, that he does IL: consider Clear,

hearty support to any candidate that
Elk county may present. The Siguei
cauce OF the August letter is enhanced
from the fact that it Wa. written after
the convention had been dissolved by
the secession Of the C!earieid delegates,
and before the second convention had
assembled. 1t is also in this letter that
he requests tEc Elk delegates to meet
those from Clcariield again, aud pledges
his solmn word thai it will be the last
time he will ask nomination. These
letters, and others, are in Possession Of
your delegates and can, at any moment,
be produced. Your delegates next in.
trodu,ed to the delegates from Forest
county, gentlemen from Cleariold coup,
W, men of influence and standing in the
Democratic party, who positively de.
clared to them. that Clelrliell county
was not entitled to the candidate, and
that its citizens did not desire DR.. Boyer
as their Representative. IIayin. clearly
proven to them all that they had de-
mandeG, these g.ly' .u.en informed your
delegates, that their statements could
have no effect upon them as they were
pledged to vote for DR.. Boyer, and that
10 reasoning could induce them to vote
against him, having but a short time
before declared to your delegates that
they We're entirely free, and only wished
for enlightenment and were open to con.
viction. Your delegates have reason to
believe that no regular Convention was
held in Forest county, and that the 2iti-
2eus Of that county were not consulted
on that subject, but that these gentle
men were merely privately pledged to
support him and thus enable him to
defeat the unanimous wish Of the peo
re Of Elk county, and the wishes Of 4
great portion Of Clearfeld county. This
assumption ofyour delegates is proved
BY the tact that at first they stated they
were not Instructed, and afterwards in.
sisted they were picigci and that no
reasoning could have any effect Upon
them. After the compensation above
recorded your delegates waited for the
opening of the convention, and after a
considerable time were informed 10y one
of the delegates from Cleariield county,
that the Clearfeld aud Forrest dele,
gates had orgau!zed the convention aud
elected their Chairman and that he had
