We have put the names of the Vance Conserva.
tves in italies 1t will be seen that even if half of
them had voted for Mr.. Rsade, he would have been
elected by large majority. But these Vance Con.
servatives sotsd Nth the DssHctives and thus de-
feated the choice of majority of the Conservative
party for Senator.
Mr. Reade has not changed his views or his prin-
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
puni'hed y by Gov. Vance because he, Mr.. Reade,
refused to soil the Judicial ermine during the
paign for Governor, by taking ground publicly over
his own name for the reelection 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 10 Mr. Hyman,
declining to do so and that this letter of Mr. Reade
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 strict performances of
his promises as peace man whieh hS made during
his campaign. This was another reason, or rather
the political reason why Gov. Vance used his in
huence to defeat Mr.. Reads. The first objection
was personal, the second political.
Let this record be preserved and let those men,
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 traed with and betrayed by dsorganizers and
boilers, by such consult the wishes and pas:
sion of Gov. Vance in preference to the will and
wishes of the people.
