had no intention OF having anything lur-

misrepresentation, that / beg leave To reply

The Senator seems to be very sensitive on
this point. He concludes, because hold, ana
had the temerIty to say so, that If he could be
declared the nominee for The Senate, by the
vote OF the first primary. then Messrs. Adams
and Graham should also have been declared
among the nominees for the House, that am
"particularly exercised about the nomination
for Senator" which Is not the case Mt all.

with hundreds of others, hold to be the facts
In the case So far as MessrS. Adams and Grh-
ham are concerned, the teilers and the cent raj
club 10 the contrary OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
there was not one word OF objection in 1t and
the Senator knew there wasn't when he said
SO.
He says again that my figures are not cor
rect.
The figures he alludes TO are correct and he
knows That also; but In the last paragraph OF
my communication the second word In the
first line should be total instead of sum.
In this paragraph though there Is q mistake e
that the Senator docs not a!luue to-the fig
ures 1851 should be :57.
The sum OF the votes cast for members OF
the House at the first primary was I3,3GS,
which divided by gives 3,7l3 3-5, as the aver
age vote for that office, and TO be entitled to
the nomination. one would simply have TO
get a majority Of that average, which Messrs:
Adams and Graham both did, and should
have been declared nominated, and the Scna-
tor needn't try TO make 1t appear otherwise.
Very respectfully,
