Excerpt from Evidence of the Contested Election in the Case of Ridgely Vs; Grason, to the General Assembly Having been at such an election elected' as Judge, by the legal voters of a loyal county, and so certified and returned by loyal Judges, and commissioned by the Executive of the State, you are asked to declare that I may be declared ineligible to said office, and that the same may, by your act, be bestowed upon another, who failed to receive a majority of legal votes at such an election, and held under such aus pioes. Having received notice at the hands of your committee, of the protest against my qualification, it becomes my duty, as well as my pleasure, to respond to the charges relied upon as the ground of my disqualification. As a man devoted to the integrity of the Government under which we live, and one who is not conscious of having violated in the least the duties of a true and loyal citizen, he denies each and all the charges of disloyalty, and pronounces them untrue.
