NEW ORLEANS. December &c, 1878.
To the Editor Of the Democrat:
In answer to the card Of Hon. Will. A. Strong.
Secretary Of State. all I have to say is, that
while / do not impugn In any manner his mo-
tives for not promulgating the returns Of the
election for State Senator from the Tenth Sena-
torial District, that, in justice to myself. I must
contradict the statement made In the conclud-
ing paragraph of Mr.. Strong's publication. as
follows:
These facts and determination were COM
municated to both Mr.. Wells and Mr.. King be-
fore the publication of the twenty. fourth in
slant. and. as / thought. to their mutual salts
faction"
My statement was first published In the Plea
yune of the twenty-thiri instant. and in an
interview / had with Mr.. Strong on the same
day l received the first intimation Of his deter
mination In the matter. Before that date the
matter had not been explained to me, as Mr.,
Strong states.
In regard to my opinion as a lawyer. all l
have to state Is. that | am elected according to
the returns now on file In the office of the
Secretary of State, and am printd fdcie entitled
to my seat as Senator from the Tenth Senate
rial District. Ii / annot obtain a promuiga-
ton of the election to that effect, l am not
afraid to submit the matter to a fair investiga
ton by the State Senate. [ only ask that | will
not be kept out BY such frivolous technicalities
and pretexts as have become In vogue so much
in these latter days. F. r. KING.
