TO THE PEOPLE OF KING
COUNTY,

Owing TO the severe and continued
illness Of my mother l can not leave
home to see the people of the County,
and must abide the result of the election
without being able to make any per.
sonal effort in my own behalf. Nv
first duty is to my mother, and this
shall discharge to the best Of my abil
ity. while she lives. Politics shall not
call me from her side while she needs
the care and love of her only child in
her illness. Under the circumstances
must depend upon my friends to stand
by me in the unequal and contemplate
warfare that is being and likely to be
waged against me from now until the
election is over. Iappeal to my friends
throughout the county, those who have
known me for years, to allow no false
hoods, no stories rejecting upon my
character. or my manhood, to gain cre-
dence among the people. l have long
been resident among you. My inter
csts are all here. and identical with
yours. Would they be safe in my
hands? Would l be likely to betray
the people. and the interests that ar e
my own, when all have and am has
been gathered here among you, who are
my neighbors, and who know me well?
Do you think have so far forgot nv
manhood and sense of justice as to
play the demagogue, and throw myself
away for a tleeting bubble of present
triumph? No, my fellow citizens;
love this little city of Seattle, and the
pleasant valleys, wooded hills and run
ming streams of King county too we'll
to be traitor to its interests in any re-
spect, or to betray the generous conf
dences of its people in any manner.
Then stand by me in solid phalanx in
this contest. Get out every vote to the
polls; give me a rousing ma jority, and
if | shall prove recreant to the trust
imposed; if i shall in any manner be-
tray your condolences, then bury me so
deep beneath the oblivion of your coli
tempt that hereafter my name shall
never more be heard among you. But
do not allow me TO be defeated now
under circumstances over which have
no control, with my mouth closed to
you by my detention at home. and by
contemplate trickery and eschewing
for no purpose on earth but to satisfy
personal jealousy and spite. If elected.
/ shall discharge my duty without fear
or favor, as l shall be able to see it at
the time. and for the best interests of
the Territory entire. The grand Oh
iect is to become a State. To that end
| should lend all my energies
Respectfully,
l.. Il. ANDREWS.
