Mr. Editor:
Believing that a great deal of
thought should be exercised in
the selection oi our legislative
ticket, aud having seen my name
mentioned in this connection, I
beg for a little space to define
my position in tfie matter.
To properly discharge the du
ties of the office which the people
have already given me will re
quire all my time Irom now un
til the day I go out of office,
December 1st, and if nominated
for the Legislature I would
either have to neglect the duties
of my present office or fail to
make the campaign expected of
tde nominee for the Legislature.
1 desire it thoroughly understood
that I appreciate the proposed
honor, and am grateful enough
to the Democracy of this cojntv
?and shall ever be?to perform
any duty that might be assigned
me?whether lucrative or not?
if in doing so 1 could best serve |
the interest of our party. I be-'
lieve that it is my duty to finish
the work of this office properly
and, therefore, with my thanks
to those friends who have so
sindl.v referred to me as a suita
ale person to represent the coun
ty in the Legislature, I shall be
lompelled; in justice to myself
and to the party, to ask that
ny name be not considered for
the place mentioned.
It will be my pleasure to ren- j
ler the nominees that measure
if assistance and co-operation as
lecomes one who has been the
leneticiary of the party.
Respectfully,
