In pursuance Of that call our Re
publican county committee called ;
county convention and tn
convention elected delegates to sal
district convention as did all tn
other counties in the district, | ha,
the honor of being elected a delegat
: to that district convention from Mad
ison county, and attended it as sucl
delegate. In that convention ney
committee for the Sth congrossi ,na
district was elacted and [ was chosel
one of It's members.
| was present when elected and die
not decline but accepted the elec

was the best [ ever attended and full
ly represented the Republican senti
n ment of this congressional district
and all the purpose for which thi
: new convention is to be called wer
acted on to the satisfaction of tn
r mass Of the Republicans.
The propects for success in thi
congressional district are very brigh
and | am not willing to lend my in
fuence to create discord in our part,
d and cause defeat at the po Is in No
vember.
|, with a large majority of repub
licans of this district favor the re
nomination of President Harrison
a ID the delegates unanimouly elect
d ed at the Decatur Convention will
"a riy re resent this Distric4 an Min
neap Ills and vote and work for hi
denomination and reelection. The,
are for Harrison.
L know that the most &C i've advo
Gates in this district for another con
vention are Anti, Harrison.
This district is the same as it wa
two years ago with the exception Of
, one small county Franklin taker
! from it.
t Every county has its organization b,
r the Republicans of the county. 1 regre
that your committee has taken steps t,
deprive the Republicans of this distric
from maDagin, their own political af
fairs. This cannot fail to create dissen
ton and division if perseyered in.
For these reasons and others tina
might be given, |. as a consistent Re-
publican and one desiring harmony anc
party success. both in National and Con.
gressional elections, most respectfully
decline to accept the appointment giver
me by the State committee.
Hoping that this may be fully salts
factory, am Very Respectful,
