To the Editor of the Erening Post:
In che interest of truth permit me I'd state
few facts which the public should know, in
relation to the controversy that has arisen in
our legislature over the election of United
States Senator in place Of Mr. Stockton of
this State
The facts are as follows: The Republicans
have forty seven members in the Legislature
eleven e Senators and thirty six Assemblymen.
The Democrats have thirty -four members
ten Senators aud twenty.four Assemblvmen.
Tins gives the Republican thirteen majority
IN joint ballot. But rule of the Senate re-
qa'res eleven votes to concur in or adopt a
resolution to 60 into joint meeting, Mr..
Scovei the president of the Senate, it Will be-
seen is able, BY voting with the Democrats.
TO prevent the holding Of joint meeting
and thus defeat any election. This Is the nre.
else attitude which he has assumed. He
openly refuses to allow any joint meetings to
be held, unless he is permitted to dictate to
the whole Union party who their candidates
shall be.
Mr.. Scovel has repeatedly voluntarily
pledged himself, and very recent1y, to 70 in
W JOINT meeting at any time when the
party should desire It. He has made this
promise % me IN the presence Of witneascs.
ina 20 other members Of The Union Stata
COMMITTEE, and he also gave that nleloa -
ine caucus OF the Republican Senators ~
has violated these pledges. These .rs ,he e
iscts, and hold myself responsible to von .n IA
the public for the absolute correctnes. IS -. IN
