To the two thousand of your number who so promptly and generously noiui nated mo for Congress I wish, In accept ing your nomination, to tender you my slncerest thanks. To you Mid t tho other thousands w ho reside in our four counties, I desire to make an explanation o'tlio congressional situation, us my at teiitlon has been culled to Mr. Hicks' lettor in this morning's Tribune. Though It Is stated in tho letter that I was "delentod in liodford county," the fuels ar that I received n majority of slioiit five hundred at the primaries. My friends regularly organized tho conven tion and nominated me, anil when an up penl was lieu rd in the court tho action of tho convention was sustained and a cor tlllcate given me. Kvery ktcp in all these proooedings was In aceorditnco with tho requirements of llio ruhs uud practices of our party. Weeks were lost In an ell'ort to dcprlro inn of tho vote of tho county. A contest was started by Mr. Hicks at I.edford acid Tyrone to inject Into tho eonfereneo three ini'ii wlio had no honest claim or right to bo there, and which no rulo of our party allowed him to appoint, ami yet he claims to bo a stickler for rules. In an earliest desire to further an early nomination 1 consented to submit tho question of tho rightfulness of my con ferees to State Chiili'inun I'lkln. Tho Johnstown Tribune, twenty-four hours before the decision, ami Mr. Hicks and Mr. lladerninn. before tho hearing, an nounced w hat M r. Klkin's decision would lie. Surprising as was tho rosult, and irreg ular and contrary to our rules as was tho admission of (he threo men, 1, us a good Kepuhlican, accepted tho result, only ircMonting such a written statement as would keep our records right under tho rules. When the conference was organized at Johnstown inv conferees Voted for Mr. llieks, Mr. Kooser and Mr. Kvhiis, so that we did all wo could to mako possi ble the nomination of any one of the can- j didutes, and only Mr. Kvans's conferees voted In return for me, giving mo four and hilf votes.
