To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
confess to being interested in the story that
went the rounds of the papers, some weeks ago.
of the Scott county election, upon which, as the
story read, depended the annexation of Texas.
The Journal excepted to the statements made
therein Mr.. Joseph B. Lewis, of Pendleton,
came to the rescue of the story SO far as to the
vote in the Senate, upon the annexation ques
ton, and showed that the annexation of Texas
did depend upon one vote. In passing, / would
say that when Mr. Lewis makes an assertion IN
regard to matter of political history, it is wise
not to take issue. The chances are against one
in that kind of controversy. When Texas was
annexed Indiana was represented in the Senate
by Albert S. White, and Edward A. flanagan.
White voted against the measure in all its stages
and HaEnegan as steadily voted for it. 1t is an
interesting fact that Mr.. Hannegan was elected
to the Senate by seventy-six yotes-a majority
of one. Oliver H. Smith, the Wing candidate,
in mis- book, Early Indiana Trials" asserts that
he was defeated by the treachery of Daniel
Hoover, Of Wayne county, and Daniel Kelso of
Switzerland both of whom, Smith AYERS had
repeatedly pledged themselves to vote for his
reelection. Tilghman A. Howard was the
Democratic caucus nominee, but was able to get
but seventy-four votes To secure the votes of
Hoover and Kelso, Howard was cast over
board and Hannegan taken up. Had
Smith been elected he would have
opposed to the bitter end, the annexation
of Texas But even with these two votes Han
negan had but bare majority, and it becomes
an interesting QUESTION, whether or not Scott
county's representative at that time, had been
elected by majority of one If so, that Scott
county story materializes, and it becomes by no
means improbable that a single Scott county
Democrat, waiting patiently or impatiently, for
the return of his boots, without the loan of
which vote would have been lost, was exer-
cising a far greater influence upon the destinies
of mankind than does the astronomer who after
years of patient toll, discovers an asteroid, or
marks the period of some comets return to view.

real reason for Count TosGois offering his resig-
