At the request of many friends both personal ana
POLITICAL to become candidate, and after having seen
the announcement above referred TO, that would be
supported by the Democratic party, which communI-

reluctantly consented TO serve, and was determined
TO use all fair and honorable means 10 secure my cleo

since coming to that decision, have learned that por-

peadly defeated by the Wings in the county Elections,
have manifested a disposition TO see contest tins
