Mr. Editor To the kind friends who have mentioned my name in such complimentary terms in con nection with the Senatorship from the counties of Grauville and Person, I wish to express my sincere acknowl edgements; but my private atid pro fessional engagements are such as to prevent my acceptance of any offi cial position.

It, Cannady lor the Senate. Mr. Editor. I see that some cor respondent advocates in your issue of the 23 the nomination of N. B. Cannady to the Senate from this district. It seemsto me this would be a most fortunate selection. Mr. Cannady is well known and deserv edly popular in both counties. We need a man in this campaign well versed in the history of the State and the action of the two par ties, and well equipped to explain and maintain the position of the Democratic party in all the issues now under discussion before the people. We need a leader in whom the people have confidence, firm in his convictions, positive in his action, still with the power ot argument and persuasion about him, and withal honorable and fair m all his deal ings. Such a man we have in N. B. Cannady. Put him at the head of the ticket and you will make no mis take. Granville Democrat.
