Major Hale's Strength in Cumber-
land County.


land County.
In reply to Mr.. N. A. Sinclairs fabu-
lous account of the Cumberland county
convention and of Major E. ]. Hale's
wonderful political strength in our
county. contained in your issue of the
18th instant, allow me, please, to give
to your many readers an unbiased and
truthful statement Of the conditions of
things as they really are just now. In
stead of Major Hale having an over
whelming majority his majority is pitt
fully small. Here are the details: Cross
Creek township precinct No. 1 elected
deegates without a contest and the del
egates are supposed to be for Hale; pre-
cinct No. 2 had a test vote, resulting in
for Hale, q against Hale; precinct
No. tested their strength and resulted
in A for Hale and 38 against Hale; pre-
cinct No. also tested their strength,
result 81 for Hale, 26 against Hale. The
precincts voting gave Hale IS votes and
the anti-Hale forces 81 votes and yet
the county convention made Or forced
the townships to vote as unit and
Hale grabs the whole thing. Fair, isn't
it? Where is the minority represented? ?
Now, as to the county precincts, or
rather townships, will give your read
ers a short synopsis of their standing.
| The anti-Hale men claim, and justly so,
| one-half of Flea Hill. one-half of Beaver
Dam, one-half of Twenty-firSt, : one
| third of Carver's Creek. all of Pearces
| Mill, Rockfish and Quwhiffle and those
contentious will be heard by the con-
| gressional convention, which meets here
| On the Goth day Of August next, and
| the contentious will be allowed by the
convention if they follow party law and
party usage. We, all of Us. feel sorry
| for Major Hale. It must be humiliating
| to him. (He brought it on himselG, but
| this is not his time and his tactics to
throttle such a respectable minority viii
not avail. Major Hale and his friends
| are trying to make the public believe
that Mr.. Bellamy is doing all this
working up such a vote against him
| Not so, the forces allied against Ma1o1
Hale are for Bellamy and Brown that
know of, and possibly some are for Pat
terson-all against Major Hale.
| Mr. Editor, believe in fair play ant
when we get it you will see that Cum
berland's vote will be about thus, viz
55 per cent. for Hale and As per cent
against Hale. Right respectable minor
ity. don't you think so? Mr.. Sinclair
writes Of our Irregularities. If my ac
count is about true and correct. wher
| in the name of common sense and jus
tice are the irregularities? If Majo
| Hale or his friends want more we cal
give them possibly the exact figures
| and maybe some facts and reasons 10
our position in this fight. We are no
hankering for a newspaper controversE
but We are not afraid Of It and IL 1t !
brought on US we shall deal simply witt
the facts as they have been and ar
now. We will give some interesting
and positive figures, facts and history
