Editor Transcript Il was surprised
to see in the last issue Of your paper

in connection with my nomination for
the Legislature by a temperance con-
vention, recently held in the city of
Wilmington and in justice to myself
I think it right and proper that /
should place myself straight before
my fellow-citizens. Although not un-
mindful of the honor conferred upon
me BY the convention, yet, my name
was used without my knowledge Or
consent. I courteously declined the
honor, preferring rather to attend to
nv business than to be thrown into
the whirlpool Of politics.
Although temperance man can
not see the propriety of having tenn
