tives in italics 1t will be seen that even if half Of
them had voted for Mr.. Reade, he would have been
elected by large majority. But these Vance Con-
seryatives poted ,oih the Destructioe and thus de-
feated the choice of majority of the Conservative
party for Senator.
Mr. Reede has not changed his views or his prn-
ciples. He was the same man when defeated for
Senator that he was when appointed Senator by
Gov. Vance But he and his friends have been
punished ~ by Gov. Vance, because he, Mr.. Reade,
refused to soil the judicial ermne during the cam
pagn for Governor, by taking ground publicly over
his own name for the re election of Gov Vance
We have heard, as we believe on good authority,
that John D. Hyman, Esq, Gov. Vance's Editor of
the Conservative, wrote to Judge Reade during the
campaign; urging him to take ground publicly for
Gov. Vance; that Mr.. Reade replied 70 Mr. Hyman,
declining do so and that this letter of Mr. Reade
was used in the election for Senator to induce Vance
Conservatives to vote against Mr. Reade. Gov.
Vance also knew that Mr.. Reade was an earnest
and honest advocate of peace and that he would
hold him, Gov Vance. to a strict performance of
his promises as peace man sohich he made during
his campaign. This was another reason, or rather
the political reason why Gov. Vance used his in
fluence to defeat Mr.. Reade. The first objection
was personal the second political
Let this record be preserved; and let those mem.
bers of the two Houses who profess to be Conser-
vatives but who voted against and defeated Mr..
Reade, the Conservative candidate, be remembered
at the next elections in this State Let every true
Conservative charge his memory with these facts,
and see to it that the Conservative party is not
again triAed with and betrayed by disorganizsrs and
bolters or by such as consult the wishes and pas
sion of Gov. Vance in preference to the will and
wishes of the people.
