have declined to publish the legislative ticket of the
Fourth Representative District at the head of its col
umns said ticket being composed of VIM. A. Gasquet,
ESQ.,. and myself, nominated by the regular delegates
in accordance with the usages of the party, and
wholly without solicitation on the part of the persons
on whom their choice fell.
