GENTLEMEN: On the 18th day Of July
l had the honor 10 be nominated by the
Republican convention of the Sixty-arss
district tor Representative. Having
since determined 20 remove to another
part OF the state l hereby tender TO you
my resignatlon Of that nomination..
In dong this take occasion to return
my sincere thanks TO my old fTiends Of
this representative district for the re-
peaiGd honors Conferred on me, and es-
pccIally for this last nomination, made,
as it was, unsought by me. I only &C
ceptcd at the time because l thought
might be useful To the district At form
or sessions OF the Legislature / had
secured appropriations for the Normal
school, frSt Of $4,000 for the old stone
building, and second. $4,000 tor the
brick building which was burned few

Of the legislature. At the Six sessions at
which i Was present as u member of the
legislature. reasonable appropriations
were secured for the current expenses Of
the school as well IS other local legisla-
ton. believed that could be useful
to the district 10 u similar way at the
next session, and Il was for this reason
That gave my consent To ihe-nomina-
ton two or three days before 1t Was
made. ! regret very much that circum-
stances now make it necessary for me
To tender this Withdrawal as a can
dIdate, ~ have been assured of my
election 10y q hauds1me maj ority both by
Republicans and Democrats.
1t has been stated by some of the
wOuid-be politicians of this city that my
uOmiuatiOn was secured by IN fair means
and that 1 belonged to a ring. The first
of these charges Investigated sufficient
ly q know there was no foundation Tor
them, and acting on the ADVICE of my
friends paid no further attention 10
them. l adopted this course the more
readily because knew that the unprin
cipled political shysters who were en-
gagged In making them would not have
the honor or manhood TO treat me fairly,
no matter what 1 did. am only sorry
that l cannot remain and give the peo-
pie chance to show their contempt for
them on election day, but to
do so would cause me TO relinquish a
business opportunity which feel l
cannot afford TO lose. -
The second charge Is AS false as the
first. made no Combination, or prom

There is Lot rlngster or q member OF
the financial or political syndicate in
this city but what regretted my nomin'

Emporia Republican, up through all the
grades TO the bosses"
Ii my advice has any influence with
the people of this city and district 1t II
to pick out q man for repre-
sentative who has intelligence
and manhood enough to be
his own man and elect him. The mer
who are Republicans only for the CON-
mercIal advantages TO be gained through
politics are neither friends TO the party
nor the people and they should be
avoided. 1t will always pay to OppOsC
their plans.
carry with me deep sense of obi
CATION To the people here for past politi
cal favors, and also feeling that so fal
as l have been trusted the trust has
never been betrayed, aud have only &C
add in closing that if the good people
of EmporIa OF Lyon county should here
after desire favor that 1t Is in my
power to grant, they have only to name
1t. Your Friend,
