DIR. Hatton's Position.


ATLANTIC, Ia, Oct. 23.--To the Editor:
DEAR SIR was panied to read in your
issue of to-day telegram from this place
yesterday, stating that DR.. Hatton had
withdrawn from the greenback candi
dacy, but still remained on the track as
X. of l.. candidate. L wish to state
through your columns that the above IS
false, and that the telegram was sent by
those opposed to him, and was not in any
manner authorized either by him or by
any X. of l.. DIR. Hatton was interviewed
yesterday by committee of the X. of l..
(of which committee |, myself, was one),
and the doctor insured us in unmistaka-
BILE terms that he had Withdrawn from
the race. | send you herewith copy of
the interview, ut length. You can append
it hereto if you desire. A called meeting
was held by the two assemblies of the
X of L. of Red Oak last night, and the
evidence of his withdrawal in substan-
tial and unmistakable form for the first
time laid before them. The assemblies
in joint convention assembled with but
one dissenting vote, and that was a
democratic editor and declared in favor of
renomlnating him-on a straight X. of l..
candidacy, relying on his past life of un-
swerving devotion to the principles as
held by the X of L., to cause HIM to
accept the election on the above issue.
All the local assem- blies within reach of
Red Oak and Atlantic have been seen.
and meeting of the Congressional com.
mittee has been called to meet at Atlantic
on Tuesday next, when, it is known, he
will be unanimously nominated as
candidate for the X. of l.. And the fight
will be by them conducted on anon par
JiZan basis, their candidate being utterly
free from party affiliations of any kind
This is the basis upon which we found
our race, dscountenancing all the false
malignments that have been circulated
about the man while he was so near
deaths door upon a sick bed and unable
TO refute them. We respectfully ask
that you give the above place IN your
columns, in the interest of truth.
