When 1 first saw the reports in ilio newsfa|ers
that the tioveruor of the State had
iiicludid my iiainc in a blacklist I i Mr.
Cleveland, I in common with the people generally
gave hut little credit ! ) it. hut receiving
no s'ateiiK nt iVom the Coventor denying
it, I wr.'te him a letter of iti<|inry, which
letter he saw tit |.. ignore. I sh til lake tip
his public statements, however, and answer
them seriatim.
He disc aims any reference t* my private
clturacier. or any fee iug of resentment,
or desire to injure tne, and yet lie deliberately
proeceds to charge me with betrayal
of the Alliance, and "treachery to the people
and to the Al iance, tints making a
deadly thrust at my character and reputation.

The first reason given by the (tovcrxot to
prevent "further betrayal ul the Alliance
is that I was repudiated l>y the Itetnucracy
of Ureeuville County, etc. So far as my
tailing to he elected a delegate to the May
