Fling badly, as I fathors think that this
/ agitation will help me-, and am not
out tot ammunition yet.
Two points In Col. Farrow's letter,
| iftaWe, would have material bearing.
lf,as he asserts, had weakened and
iWas falling off in votes, and Col.
Evins was advancing, and ahead at the
| TIME VIC went into the hat, then I
would have nGcomplaints on this score.
Tho accumulated testimony Of men.
bers (botlf hfs friends and minc) au-
! thorizes me to say that, his state,hcnt
is erroneous, and thatI was still lead.
ing at this iuncturo. Again, If tho
plan Of hat drawing was opposed by
tho friends of Col. Evins, tlcn, al
though thero would still be eIuck"-
as ho "wom"-yctI I should never have
seriously charged unfairness, but
tho situation changes with tho
revelations Of tho author Of tho hat
schcane resolution. IIe says, "I was
al Evins man, ana wont to al Evins
man, and we agreed that it was impos-
s!bie to nominate. I'm tho usual way;
siXteen trials had convinced us, and
we haseao that with you out Of the way,
your Supporters would go to Kennedy
and elect him." How did they Know?
They had gonc round and counted
noses. Here we-havc an agreeing to-
getllcr, conspiracy to stific fle Voice
oftho people, to throttle tho Democra-
cy OF the Fourth District and foist
upon them man who was not their
choice. Was there over a more palpa-
bic fraud pcrpctratcd? And docs not
the transaction taint the man although
he were q thnusand miles away at tho
timc? How does this coihpare with
the course pursued by my friends ilf
this same Convention, when, after
having met at q time and place which
lmd been publicly announced by tho
President Of the State Convention, in
open session and by other means,
, and the fact Was disclosed that dele
CATION Who wcrc--at least presumably
against me, were absent. and when it
was plain to my friends that would
be nominated or the first ballot, Gen.
Brntton, rs my representative, rose
and said that / did not propose to take
any advantages, and he either offered
or seconded q motion to adjourn. Corr
trast tho course Of Col. Erins' friends
with this. | say boldly that with all
the circumstances in Vicw-all the jug-
ytcry incidentj and with the uc6.vGn
pn4'posc Of his friends to nominate him
although they say that they knee hc
