Hon. w. w. WILTSHIRE
Sir: Having learned that w. J. HrNEs
is using letter addressed to him by one
w. +. Grove, late County Clerk of this
county by the appointment Of Gov. O..
A. Hadley, while the county was under
the control of the militia commanded by
the Clayton militia General ID. T. Cpham,
charging you with trying to induce him
to change the election returns from this
county to your advantage, we will state
that from what we know of MIR. Grove
and the character he bore In this county
while he resided and held the Office OF
County clerk here, we would not believe
his statements and do not believe the
charges he makes against you. We know
that Mr.. Groves was one Of the chief
manipulators ofthe election in this cOun.
ty in 1879 and was instrumental In hav.
ing the thirteen voting precincts conscli
dated into two, thereby placing the elec-
ton under the immediate control of Up
hams militia. His whole course Of con.
duct in this county tenders him unworthy
Of credit in any statement he may make
and particularly in regard to any politi.
cal matter in which he was interested as
partisan.
