JANUARY 20, 1884.
DEAR SrR:--In answering your enquiry
whether | will be candidate for COVER
nor, | feel that but little discretion on
the subject is now left me. Having
been repeatedly written to, last winter
and spring, on the subject at length
replied, that | would be governed en-.
tirely by the wishes of my fsllow-citi.
zens; and on that authority | was an
-nounced as candidate in several, if not
all the papers then published in the
state. Since that time, many Of my
friends have expressed desire that
should be, and my enemies, among whom
regret to find some who are even dis
posed to misrepresent me, appear to
treat me-. as a candidate, SO Of course
answer in the Affirmative ~.
Immediately after my last election in
1882, announced to my constituents
that would not be candidate for con-
gress at the next election, and assure
you,-in coming 10 that conclusion, moth
ing was farther from my thoughts than
design to become candidate fer any
other office. The station now fi4l IS
Tar above my humble claims, and is lust.
~ considered one Of the most honorable
and desirable in our government HAY
ing long considered term Of 8 yeals
the period for which had then been e.
iected, and which is the time named by
the venerable father Of our beloved
country, as long enough for politicians
Ito remain in an Office, resolved, in
my own judgment, which has often been
expressed, to follow the exampleof that
great and good man, whose smallest vir-
tues and patriotic counsels are worthy of
imitation by the greatest and best, as
well as the hamblest citizen in our coun-
Try; and so long as the political .maxims'
OF that great statesman, the least of
which are full Of wisdom, shall be re.
spected and observed, our country must
continue to be free, prosperous and hap
Ply; and if my humble example shall
contribute in any degree to perpetuate
those inestimable blessings, it will be to
me source of more real pleasure than
to have filled the office hold for life.
= The Kindness and confidence of nv
iTieDdsso often expressed, has created a
debt OF gratitude, which fear, with uu.l
'aoating zeal, it will never be in nv DOW.

an my hopes in this world are centered,
