assembly at Philadelphia. When that body failed
to act, Franklin endeavored to interest Congress | ||
and the Assembly of Connecticut in the wretched |
fate of the Wyoming people. He succeeded in
reviving the slumbering energies of the Susque-|

Franklin and his adherents, remembering Penn- |

outrages of Armstrong and Patterson, would not

FRANKLIN IS TEMPTED + N
The election was held, but not without riot and |
confusion. Col. Nathan Denison was chosen a mem- |
ber of the executive council, John Franklin was |
elected to the house of representatives and Lord |
Butler to the office of high sheriff of the county. |
It was understood if Franklin could be recon-
ciled, the new state project would be seriously dam- |
aged. It was, consequently, a prime object to se- |
duce him from his former connections. ;
