1t is with no little pride and satisfaction
that we announce to the democracy and the
entire people of this congressional district
that Mr.. P. -. Gable, who was SO uhani-
mously chosen as the standard bearer Oh
the democracy at the Dallas City Conven-
ton, has accepted. The following brief
dispatch was received at this ottce yester-
dsv sf,ern DON, and that all may see the
exact position of Mr. Cable in accepting
the position we publish it just as received
EDIyBuRG, Sept. I'd, 1870
70 J. S. Drake, Rock Island, Hft"''S'
NJ, candidate If elected would serve
No P l.. CABLE.
Tho. Ia no mistaking the text or It's
Gaming He is not candidate-never
has been. but 50 unanimous WAS the nom
nation that as a man who has the best
interest Of the country at heart, he feels
for ed to say that he will serve if elected.
This is the kind Of man the people want
to look after their interests at the national
capitol Not professional office seeker
who goes to his seat to help his friends to
congress ionsl land grabs, to appropriations
for pirate corporations and to lucurstive
offices under the national government, and
to grow rich out of the hard earned taxes of
the people, but one who will look after the
rights aud interests of his constituents as if
they we're his own, who is above any snspi-
cion of wanting or even accepting the office
for private speculstious, personal sggrsnd-
izament or partisan purposes of any kind,
who has not sought the position but rather
declined, and allows the people of the dis
rric. to use his name and he will do his best
to serve them.
That he will do this if elected there is Hot
the least question or doubt, with those VITO
know him. He cannot be bought and sold,
his vote will always be placed on the side
of Justice snd right, and for the people.
Massachusetts capitalists, New Eugla
shoddy contractors, and Pennsylvania iron
mougers cannot buy his vote nor carry him
as they have done. and will do sgain, with
aawley, if he should, by any inactivity OF
the democracy, happen to be returned to the
seat he has already dishonored by his insig
ni6cance, incom ptency and partsauship.
Mr.. Gable is a mau possessing all the quail
ties of a self IN ade successful man, of fine
! legal requirements, unsurpassed financial

with practical experience, and with dispo
sislon aud will that will always dare TO sd
