Editor of the Argus.
Please insert the following until after election
and charge to my account:
AS my name has been presented by some of my
friends, in connection with the Office of mayor,
under the expectation and with the understanding
that city convention would be called by the
committee raised last year for that purpose, and
that city and ward ofhcers would be nominated
according to the usages OF the party instituted for
the purpose of organisation and consolidation,
and as the committee have tailed to call a meet
ing for such purpose or for any other, take the
liberty by the advice of numerous friends TO sn-
nounce myself candidate of the democratic
party for mayor at the ensuing election, but am
willing to submit to a nominating convention. 1t
10 not necessary for me to make any pledges, pol
itical or otherwise at this time for take IT for
granted shere is but few if any voters in town
who do not know my sentiments on this subiec,
as we'll as all other questions that at all in,eres,
the public. / hope therefore to get the entire
vote of the party. There is no other candidate
| in the field who has is willing to avow his
/ principles. Mr.. Davenport insists that nomina.
ton by the party would defeat him, and he hai
| repeatedly declared that he would not be cand
ldate of the democratic party; that it would de-
| feat any man who was. Gentlemen, am Willing
to try 1t on and stand fall upon the Democrat,
! and Johnsonian platform.

Can't be Used for that Purpose, .

EDITOR ARGus.-I did intend to vote for
Eggleston for mayor, but since l have heard
him declare publicly, that he did not expect
to be elected, but that he would run for the
purpose of elscting Truesdale, quit him
and 60 for Davenport, and | know of many
others who will do the same. Since Eggles-
ton has shown what his object is in running,
think every democrat ought to rally around
Mr.. Davenport.
