CAhD FROM WM. H. NEWTON
ST. GEORGES, RED LION HID,
Sentpmhar Dist 1879


q. +. JOHNSON, Eso.,-Dear Sir Il
see by your Daily of this date, you express
the opinion that the decision of the Coun-
ty Executive Committee in the case of G..
u. Ash and myself against McWhorter,
was just and proper. You state YOU
"do not see to what other conclusion the
committee could have come with the eui-
dence before them" The fact is Sir, the
committee like certain notorious cleo
torlal commission refused to 40 behind
the returns and by II to l declined to
hear the ecidence of fraud which Mr.. Ash
or his friends and myself were prepared
to adduce. Neither Mr.. Ash's friends or
myself, it is true claimed to be able to
show enough ballots dbstracted to over
come McWhorter's majority. All we de-
sired to do was to offer the proofs of fraud
committed in the Western District of
this hundred, in that all the uotes polled
FOR Mr.. Ash and myself Upre not counted
out. We asked the committee to hear us
on this point, and we certainly expected
them to do so, and if the proofs proposed
to be adduced had been sufficient to show
fraud, we should have looked to the COM
mittee, to take such action as the case
merited, and at the least to have placed
the censure where il justly belongs.
We hold that the decision of the COM
mittee was contrary to good policy and
Democratic usage. Our party has, by its
numerous investigations accomplished
much toward making fraud odious to the
people of this country. And for COM
mittee of the party, authorized under and
by the rules governing said party to hear
and decide such cases as those referred to,
to refuse to hear any evidence showing
fraud, looks to many as if they desired
to cover up the fraud. Certain it is. we
can stand the decision if the party can.
Very truly,
WIN. ii. NEWTON.
