Charles O'COnnOr has sent long letter
to the Committee declining the nomina'
ton for Assembly, in which he reviews
the repeating system at elections, as well
as the terrorism exercised over poor meI
at the polls, by political hirelngs. He
considers that he can best serve the public
interest in his present position. His whole
time and utmost power will be needed In
the proceedings against the robbers, who
not content with their already realized
gains, are now laundering at the gates ol
the treasury, and are determined to Contln'
ue their iniquitous career through traudu'
lent canYaSsing and corrupt legislation. His
position, therefore, demands exemption
even from the choice Of personal interest,
and his services will always be at the
command OF an honest legislature.
