June S. 1878.
10 the editor of tic Alcrandrm Ga=et'c:
IL your issue ct The lst inst, appears auotbel
communication frou ,t.r ubiquitous parsonage
"Many Voters" who lives in Loudoun, bu
who by heading his communication Landmark
Fauquier County, Va, tries to make the lna
| preston that he is voter a: that precinct.
We would ncl agaln ask your vanlbe spac1
for a reply, were i, not for The fac; that
"Hezokiah" has been liner typography OF
wilfu!ly misrcrrcsco;cd. These are the charges
brought against U.s.
|. lie says that "II,z>kiah claims that Gen.
| Ilunton beiog 10 otic; grants to h!m another
term" I've quote his exact language aud conse
quently are not responsible for It's renma'lca
| corrcctncss.)
Does MANY Votels' tlink that any oue Of
even moderate Intelligence (which We claoi TO
have) would expose himself to public rldlcn'c
By assigning such ridiculous reason Tor re
turoiog Gen. II. to Cougrass? 1t il useless to
| refer Many Voters to the columns OF the
Gazette to convince hiu. thai We have never
iutimated such thing. 30,
lie next charges lis with saying that, II
Gen. Hunton does not get the nomination, OF
course, no other candidate from Fauquier can
get it, :,
can prove that We did say Ii, We will forever
throw up the "qliil' in disgust. ln our com
municatOn OF the l65h ut.. We used the olloW
ing language IL Ger. Eppa Hunton IL MT
| the nominee ct the conservative convention, II
| is not likely that lauquler will tlrnsiI aaother
| candidate. We did not say|that 1t was i'm:
possible, nor did We say it was politically wrong
! for another Of FauQHicr ! sons to receive the
nomination; we only said it was n0t likely; we
said nothing about its expadlenev.
We will next consider charge No. ., which
is as follows lcz ekiah says that MIR. Brooke
fills his Office 50 well that ne ol1not we'll DIS
pcnse with his valuable services in his present
Office" AS 10 charge No. we have quoted
his exact language.) Here is what we said
l"[t is our opinion i : y that n1uny of those
who supported Mr.. Brooke 50 zaalously when a
candidate for the State Senatorship feel that
| his valuable services cannot well be dispensed
with in the State Legislature. |. can be seen
| at glance that MANY Voters has again mis-
construed our language.
10 conclusion We would say it il not our de-
sire to harass the Intelligent readers Of the Ca
z,tte with q correspondence, which is as uDln
teTt5llDS W lllClu IL 10 ~ wv
cipauts. But it again mSreprcsented, either
through Misunderstanding or for partizln Ell
feet, we shall not hesitate to defend ourselves as
best We Gao. llEZEkIAH
