JOSEPH BARBER
GENLxmEs: Your communication notifying me of
my nomination Independent candidate for tho
Msyoralty, by public meeting Of my ielowcitizens
has been placed In my hands
You, gentlemen, as well az other friends who have
advised with in this matter, viii remember that
from the first reserved the privilege of exercising
my own judgment in reference thereto and in ODE
dience TO its dictates compelled, after mature
consideration of the subject TO decline tbs nomna-
tion you have 80 cordially rendered me- In permit
ting my name to be used by those who supposed it
might have some weight in the scale Of REFORM had
no selfish objects TO subserve. The Mayoraty Is no
sinecure; no business man can properly perform It's
duties without serious sacrifice Of time ana Pecu-
mary interests and the usual return for such sachces
Ia the enmity and abuse Of and par
tissD politicians. The Office of Mayor IS any timing
but a bed of roses TO honest and faithful incum'
bent
Other motives. however, than the fear Of SANDER
from accepting the nomination. In conclusion, gen
flemen, have to thank you and those whom you
represent warmly and gratefully, for the hearty good
will with which you entered upon this movement, and
10 assure you that am with you heart and hand in
any and every measure you may adopt calculated TO
advance the prosperity and redeem the good name OF
our City SO long oppressed with the incubus OF cor
rupt and inefficient local GOverrment.
We can all in our private and individual capacities
do something to advance this great end and by
means Of proper Ward organization, pledged to vigi-
liant and energetic action we can expose the dein-
quencies Of public officers and hold them to a strict
responsibility in courts of law.
Once more thanking you and those associated with
you for the confidence with which you have been
pleased to honor me,
am, Gentlemen, with respect, your. truly, .,,
