It is needless to say that my name has been mentioned 1 for the mayoTalty nomination. but by every word and act have tried to discourage the movement as far possible. Notwith- standing all this. the representatives of the | democratic party have deemed it best to make me the nominee for this high and i'm | portant position. There are two sides to 1 this question. I have served the city for | fourteen years and towards the latter part craving came over me for n quiet and more l peaceful life IA voice: You are the best man in the town today" Cheers. If I | would consult my own interests l would not hesitate one second in declining the honor you have bestowed upon me. But it comes in such a way, entirely unsought and | seemingly with the wishes of the entire | party which has always used me su favor | ably, 1t might seem ungracious in me tn decline. If accept, it will be personal sacrifice, but it might be said that ought l to make sacrifices for Il party which has so often honored me in the past l will not say no; my party has never said no to me | Long cheeringl. l accept the nomination with sincere thanks. The democratic party in Waterbury is..placcd in a peculiar | position. With nominal majority of from | 600 to 1000 We see every important posi- ton in the town and city held by repubh- cans. We are governed instead of govern ing. Unity and harmony in the democratic l ranks will only bring success. Let Us have that unity and harmony for once and bring back to Waterbury her old prestige of be ing one of the strongest democratic towns in the state. again tender you my most sincere thanks'
