misrepresent Mr.. FL. many particu-
lar. They said the article was cor,
rect. The only error that we com
mitted was probably in saving it
was a County Conyention,p instead
of calling TIA "District Convention, .
or Meeting" butthe "odd's the diff.
ference" being about one and the
same thing. Over that aDistrict
Convention" or meeting, : Mr.. II.
Ibid preside, and in that bodydid de-
.bnsunce and renounce the republican
party in language more severe than
Elegant; and if the proofs demanded,
no doubt it can be furnished right
lin his own town Of Mason, sufficient
10 satisfy both him and his friends,
as to the truth Of our statements.
That after being SO long connected
with the Greenback-Labor party, and
accepting its nomination for the
House Of Delegates, he deserts and
renounces that party to obtain the
Republican nomination for the same
office, what evidence have the Re-
|publicans, that he will not serve
them in the very same manner2
Will the interests Of the people of
Mason county, be safe in the hands
Of such man?
Mr. Hutchinson may fret and stew
and threaten as much as he pleases,
but he will find that We don't scare,
and cannot be driven from our plain
path of duty in exposing his double
dealing and his treachery to the very
party that brought him into promi-
hence.
But the worst feature in his whole
;'Explanation" is his absolute denial
of his speech made at the Court
House in this place, accepting the
Republican nomination for the House
of Delegates at the Republican Con-
vention. But we will let him give
his denial of that speech in his own
words. He says:
Gle hits the reverse of the truth
again when he says" "The speech
we have given above is Mr., Hutch.
inson's exact language, as We took it
down at the time he spoke it," IF
that is the best he can do at report
ling speeches he had better quit, and
turn his attention TO something for
which he is better adapted, for it
would be almost impossible for any
person,.w the solitary exception Of
G. W. Tippett, to have written
such base, slanderous and damnable
lies as he has inserted in what he
calls my speech, and 1 wonder that
he was not afraid that the hand that
moved the pen to insert them would
be struck BY the hand of God and
paralyzed, and forever rendered use
less and unable toanswer the sugges-
tons of a mind SO utterly dead to all
shame, reason and manliness."
How he could make such broad
denial of his speech, as reported by
us, and published in our issue of Ju-
Ely 14th, when the proof is so against
him, is something that we cannot
understand. 1t shows a degree Of
depravity that but few men are pos
sessed Of. That speech we again re,
produce, below, and which is as fol-
lows:
"Nr. CAairmca and Gentlemen ofMe
Convention: thank you for this
nomination thus given me. | am a
Republican, and if elected to the
Legislature, and / know l will be,
this Convention will have no cause to
find fault with me, for intend to
