FELLOW CITIZENS:

been a resident of the county for the last
eighteen years, and l presume the most
of you are acquainted with me-at least
those of the old settlers. But l will say
this much: if l should be your choice,
my humble abilities shall be exerted
to domy duty and mete out justice to all
concerned.
