Hon. NEWTON BOOTH, Governor of
California; hereby resign my unsx-
pired term in the Senate of the United
States as Senator for California. This
resignation is to take effect immediately
that the State Legislature which meets
on the first of next month. may fill the
vacancy. As my intimate friends in
Senate and elsewhere well know, have
long tried to withdraw from that body
and at the same time to retire wholly
from politics and political life. My
public duties on both sides of tho Con
tinent have demanded of me and havo
received such attention as to greatly
impair by health and compel mo to
neglect my private affairs. The latter
consideration is not the CT ntrolling one,
but the condition of my health is such
as to lead me seriously to doubt my
strength TO perform the ardueus duties
of Senator for California. have de-
ferred carrying out my desire until the
present time when both objects may be
accom- plishsd at once, and when the
the Legislature just about to meet may
elect my successor. Respectfully,
Z. CASSERLY.
