No man could have given more
solemn assurances of good faith than Mr..
Sergeant did upon this memorable occa-
sion. How has he redeemed those pied
ges7 By deserving Mr.. Window ON the
second ballot, and since that doing ev-
erything in his power to defeat him.
The Standard regrets extremely
that q man of his standing, whom the
people have trusted to the extent of elect
ing him State Senator, should 80 unblush-
ingly and completely betray the conf
dence of many of his best friends, and
by 50 doing destroy his last vestige of
reputation as q man of honor and integ-
rity.-Albert LeG Standard.
Hold on, Mr.. Standard, you are alto
gether too fast. We think Mr.. Sergeant's
support of Mr.. Window was all that
could be asked under the circumstances
He voted for Window on the first ballot
when his vote was of more value to him
than At any one or all of the succeeding
ballots. Mr.. Sergeant knew that the on
ly show for Mr.. WINDOWS election was
on the first ballot He fulfilled his obi
cations to his Window constituency. if
any he was urder, by voting for Window
when it would do him the most good, "
and when it ought to have been apprecia-
ted. Knowing that Mr.. Window could
not be elected, he did not care to contin-
ue voting for him, day by day, just for
the sentimental effect it might have up
on small portion of his constituency.
