'F'ff
lnasmuch as the Democratic convention on
Monday last did not deem it advisable to
mention my name for Governor or to request
the delegates to use all proper means to secure
my nomination. as usual under similar clrcum-
stances, the action of the delegates in meet
ing subsequently and agreeing to support me
tor the high position is not regarded WIN
favor by me. | am not candidate tor Gov-
ernor and never have been. | would have
felt tiattered by an endorsement of my county
for this exalted position, but respectfully sub
NIT that do not feel especially BATTERED by
the action of the delegates, and do not want
them TO place my name before the state con-
venti0n.
Ny action in endeavoring 10 harmonic
differences and to carry united party to the
polls in November. has been characterized by
several fanatics as akin to reachery, but the
great mass of Democrats would not. am sure,
suspect me of crooked political work. My
whole record precludes any such conclusion,
and no one but an extremist, moved more by
personal feeling than for the partyS good,
would SO construe my efforts. The achon OF
those who conducted the convention is clear
case of the children becoming wiser than their
father IN one year-namely, to decline 10
elect rs delegates gentleman, suggested 10y
me. who Is a representative of the district
that gives a Democratic majority more than
double that OF any other district in the county.
This alone married the harmony that ought to
have prevailed, and leaves the party wider
apart than one year ago. =. j. BENNETT
