[5]"From the above it appears that Mr. Roberts had 214 votes less than Mr. Cope, the highest on the ticket. It is also very evident, and which is fully corroborated by the assertions of many respectable democrats, that Mr. Roberts would not have succeeded if he had been opposed by an respectable ticket - and because a number of federalists as well as many democrats voted for him who would not have done so, had they of had any other choice."
