The letter is as follows:
ITO Editor of Athens Banner-Please
allow me, through the columns of your
paper, to say a word to the voters OF the
eighth congressional district. When first
announcing my candidacy for congress
from this district / honestly believed, as
did almost everybody else. that the admin
istration forces and followers aided by
the moncyed powers of the country, would
succeed i'm capturing the Chicago conven-
ton and force upon the democratic party
the adoption of a platform favoring the
single gold standard. This could not nor
never would, under any circumstances
whatever, have agreed TO abide by or sup
port
Fer this and other reasons fully set
forth I'm my letter of announcement, l de-
clled to so into the primary elections
of the district with such convictions and
determinations no other course was left
me as an honorable man but to refuse to
enter into and abide by party arbitration
/ was fully convinced that my chances OF
success would have been much better by
submitting my candidacy to the primary
election and nominating convention of the
district, but had | gone into them would
have been bound by strict party fealty
and every sense of honor to have accepted
and abided by whatever the party did ut
the Chicago convention. l certainly would
have done so, and have no patience with
such disloyalty as would induce any one
to so into a convention of his party, par
ticipate in it's organization ard proceed
ines and then bolt therefrom because
the action of the majority was not fully
I'm accord with his particular views.
"My course has subjected me 90 Sc
we're and extensive criticisms. and the
charge of being an independent, boiler.
This has given me veey little concern and
/ need only say in this connection that
so far as the accusation charges me with
having left the democratic party or being
in the slightest degree untrue to what l
conceive to be true, sound and genuine
democratic principles. it is wholly unjust
and untrue.
