/ ing contest was ultimately to be the
length of the purse / had, on the spur
Of the moment, announced, as the man
] hAtI OF MT IeuheA contest MS WITH
drGwal from the race, Upon calmer re-
Election, and influenced by the great
pressure brought to bear upon me by
his many earnest supporters, have de-
clded differently, and will continue un-
til the end. My motive In mentioning
n withdrawal was founded upon re-
/ pugnance upon my purt TO draw either
Mr.. Peak or his friends into the eN-
penditurc of any sum OF money In this
behalf, and not upon any fears OF the
ultimate result. AS a voucher OF my
personal faith In the outcome, I inclose
one thousand coupons for Howard w.
Peak. Very respectfully.
