GRENADA, Miss, Aug. is, 1883.
TO the Voters of the Third Judicial District: !:
/ take this method Of announc-
ing myself a candidate for the office OF
District Attorney for this District.
In view of the fact that the office il
purely non-political in its character, and
should by no means be administered in
a partizan spirit, | respectfully solicit
the support OF all, without regard to par
ty or party action.
The incumbent OF the office and candi-
date for reelection and myself are both
Democrats of unquestioned fidelity to
party, and unless the opposition by nom
mating a candidate of their own, should
thereby make nomination by the DEM
ocratic party. seem to be political ne,
cessity, it would be an invidious dis
tinction for the Democratic party to say
which of us or who else should be the
party candidate. Besides that, such ac-
ton of the party might unnecessarily
provoke similar action on the part ol
the opposition.
Should the opposition nominate can
didate, shall withdraw from the fielc,
thereby yielding to the general ide
that a nomination by the opposition
would necessltate like action by the Dem
ocratic party, not witbstanding it is my
deliberate opinion that persistent de-
termination on our part not to particis
pate in making the Office political. would
meet the hearty approval Of a large ma.
iority of the voters of the District.
