country neither would be so base, as to use
anv influence to the detriment of the other.
Last year our member was from the country
and this year from the city and though differ
ing with them IN politics, l do not know
that I have occasion to call any Of their
acts in question regarding local legislation
Again, it is in the power of the country
towns to always elect the member If they
choose, and if they donot exercise that powers
cannot see why they should complain. But
am unwilling to believe that the masses are
actuated by undue selfish motives, unless in.
fuenced by designing demagogues, who have
q Ratchet to grind.
Several years since, I was a delegate
from country town to 6 county convention
in which were eight nominations to be made
Kenosha appeared, represented by four dele
gates from each of the then three wards, an
objection was raised by prominent delegate
from Bristol and after warm discussion Of
some length, one delegate from each ward
was rejected, leaving the country towns with
a heavier majority than before. There were
present from the country, intelligent and
competent candidates for nomination, but
what was their disgust, after all the wrang'
ling against over representation from Keno
sha, to find six out fthe eight nominations
given to the city Under such circumstances,
where was the responsibility to rest l
cast no reflections except upon those who
participated, when [ say that my impression
was that the whole operation was an asinine
farce.
The question of consolidation will bear
candid discussion without descending to
or "blackguardtsm l
have ever entertained high personal esteem
for your Bristol correspondent, but candorl
me to say that the charge of uttering
epithets or of blackguarcism
cannot be confined to either side alone.
