from the various assembly Districts there being no
difficulty about any OF them until reached the Six
teenih, In which reside myself. We have had some
tlie dlmcuity IN thai district arising from the fact
that Mr. Maurice Powers and two others have
assumed to dictac all the nomin and all the
ecilons for prcerment awarded to that district A.
neeths VI the committee on organization from lhat
district he took the liberty the three inspectors
" elec,ohs 10 act at the primary meeting ana having
control OF The district OF obtained majority of
the memoirs OF that committee. There was, how
ever minority who disapproved OF his selection and
signed a recommendation Tor three other gentlemen.
Wnen that district reached for confirmation
moved 10 disagree with the action OF the majority or
the committee, and upon that question severe and
excited debate and continued tor three or four
hours, at the conclusion OF which large majority OF
the members OF the Committee on Organization, see
ing the justice OF my position, voted TO set aside the

control OF the district their favor but the electors
that quarter too intelligent 10 be'humbuqged by
-ly such misrepresentation y
'May ask. General, what Is your opinion as TO the
rcnomination OF Mr.. Hewitt for Congress?"
