To the editor q the .th=randru Cn=cttc:
| | lind in the Gazottc' 5 report OF the proceed
ngs of the Senatorial Convention the following
"R. l.. hewitt said that he had heard ru-
| NOR prevailing III The convention thar Mr.. Mat
thew had been Il member Of the Underwood
Convention and voted for the DISTINGUISHES
clause in the constitution, and asked ii that ru-
| mor was correct.
| Mr. j. NJ. kilgour said he would state
| upon his personal responsibility il was untrue
| MIR tusler,oi L0udoun, said that the runlvr
was rue SO lar as the statement that Mr.. Mat
thew voted for the DISTINGUISHING clause"
The inference to b. drawn from Mr. Foster S
statement is that | voted Tor tie diSlanchi,c-
ment cause IN the "Undcr Sood Constitution .
| This is not true III fact, aud presume Mr..
Foster to be incorrectly reported |, is very
well kaown that | not on voted to rxpungc
from that constitution the DISTINGUISHING and
test oath clauses, but actively cauyassci the
county in behalf oil the CONSERVATIVE ticket and
policy. Il spccttulIy, WI MATmlEw,
