VINO nave been voting for George v. Massey
had received the following letter from that
gentleman:
Senator Pierce made public the following
letter:
Messrs, George r, Pierce, John N. g,
Moore, Ezekiel Fleming. Henry II. Nc
Mullen, Edward S. Burton and George II.
Townsend.
Gentlemen: The session OF the Legisla-
ture is near its appointed termination. and
the most important duty of electlng a
United States senator Is not yet performed.
With nineteen Republican members out OF
a total Of thirty in the joint assembly, a
failure to discharge this imperative duty
would furnish such an exhibition of incom-
potency on the part of the Republican rep
resentatlves to administer In this behalf
the affairs of state government as to SER
iously impair public confidence and meas
urably interfere with successful appeal to
such confidence in the future. Having, as
you well know, neither been candidate.
solicited your votes, nor sought to be
chosen to this high office, but appreciating
none the less profoundly the distinguished
compliment conveyed to me by your un-
invited support, a proper sense of dellcacy
has hitherto preoluded any suggestion in
the premises personal to myself.
In view, however. of the limited period
remaining within which this momentous
question must be determined, and appre-
hensive lest a continuance of the existing
unfortunate deadlock may prevent an cleo
tion and thereby deprive the state and the
party Of creditable and capable repre-
sentative in the Senate of the United
States, now beg to suggest and do most
earnestly request that II in your Judgment,
collectively or individually, either now or
hereafter, dscontinuance of your vote
for me will in the slightest degree tend to
a solution OF the embarrassing situation,
you will do your state and party the SER
vice and me the great personal kindness to
discontinue such vote Immediately.
Even if one were a candidate and ever
so ambitious to succeed, it would be
wholly inconsistent with right and duty to
his state and party to suffer personal aspi-
rations to imperil or prevent the election
of a Republican senator.
With heartfelt thanks for the marked
confidence you have manifested by your
repeated votes; with due appreciation
of the sincerity of your purpose and efforts
to effect an election: with an abiding conf
dence in your integrity of purposes to dis
charge your duty in such fashion as will
best serve your state and promote party
success, and with assurances to each of you
of warmest personal regard believe me
always, Very sincerely yours.
GEORGE V. MASSEY.
