HARRISON. N. j., July 2S 1896
Hon. William D. DAILY
My dear Senator-Now that the nomi-
nations for President and Vice President
have been made by the Democrats at
Chicago. the battle for supremacy be-
tween both parties will begin in earnest
in a short time. The Democrats Of Har-
rison have taken great interest and feel
proud of the manly, honorable and con-
scientious course that you have pursued
while delegate TO the convention never
faltering or wavering in your principles,
but proclaiming to the country tnat the
candidates were good and honorable men,
nominated by the people and not by
the bosses, trusts or combinations of any
kind.
Therefore, in behalf of the Democracy
of Harrison congratulate you for your
noble stand in behalf of our candidates,
Bryan and Sewall. All that win be nee
essary now to insure our partys success
is for every Democrat to stand by his
principles and they will sweep the coun-
try from Maine to California. In order
that our standard bearers should have
sound and substantial support it is the
wish of the Democrats Of Harrison fer
you to become a candidate for Congress
this fall. BY so doing you will confer
a lasting favor and honor upon the peo-
pie of this town and Hudson county by
allowing us the high privilege of voI
ing for a man who has always stood up
manfully and honorably for the masses
against the classes, for the people against
the corporations, trusts and ccmbina-
will consider these sentiments favorably.
BY SO doing you will, / am sure, har-
monize the Democracy of Hudson county.

Senator DAILY penned the following re-
Hoboken, N j., July "a, 1896
E. J. Grace, Esq, Town Treasurer Har-
rison, N. j.
NY Dear Grace-I am in receipt of your
very kind letter of July %, and am more
thar pleased in your faithful and un-
swerving manifestation of good will to-
ward the candidates Of our party. [ am
sure that Harrison, one OF the bulwarks
of Democracy. win give a good account
of itself on Election Day for the national
ticket
Permit me to thank you for your kind
expression toward myself in requesting
me to become 2 candidate for Congress.
The same suggestion mas been made by
other friends, personally and by letter,
but I feel that it would be utterly impos-
siole TO comply with yours or their re-
quest. l cannot accept and undertake to
make canvass III this county owing to
comparative poor health Again, / am op-
posed 20 duat ofneenoldlng, ana L would
NOS accept the nomination while holding
the office of Senator. / think it is a duty
TO my party TO fill out the term of my of
fee as Senator before undertaking to be
q candidate for or assuming the respon-
siblity of another Office.
There are many Democrats able and
competent and in full sympathy with
the Democratic National platform, one
of whom could be persuaded TO accept the
nomination and VINO would honorably fill
the office. With kind regards, believe me,
Yours very truly,
WM. D. DAILY
