In response to many inquiries and rs
quests made to me from oil parts OF the
I take the liberty is this form OF max.
ing public my readiness and desire To be
considered among the candidates fer
by the legislature as Senator from
this State.
In asking the favor and support Of Re-
Senators aud assembly men for
the distinguished and responsible repre-.
tstion Of this great State In the Senate OF
the United States, l have no occasion to
qualify or rostate the principles Of the
party or my own party acsept. |
lncs and undoubting maintainancs OF
hose principles The Republican party
in tho declaration Of its opinions and its
purposes has never used language OBJ
scure, uncertain or framed in double
,ense. In the last appeal Of the great
political parties to popular suffrage, espec-
ALLY the political sentiments and cardinal
objects Of the Republican party have been
presented to the country without conceal
nent or dissinulation. In this last, as II
svery earlier struggle to maintain the
Of the Republican policy in
he government Of the country, have
1ivsn every aid in my power to the sup
port Of the policy, the doctrine and the
OF the Republican party. The
general sense OF tho Republicans Of this
State look upon the Senatorship now open

They regard this ~ important to the great
political and material interests Of this
State; they regard II as important 10 the
