MASSEY HAS WITHDRAWN
WRITES LETTER TO The VOF-
Frs OF THE DISTRICT.
Advises Them TO Cast Their Votes For
Strowd, the Populst Nom nee
For Congress.

Chairman Holton yesterday, on his
return from Goldsboro, gave out inc
following letter from Pat Massey, oil
Johnston county, withdrawing from
tbe RAGE for Congress, and advising
his friends to vote for Strowd;
Smithfield, N. c., Oct. Is, 1896.
III tbe Voters of the Fourth Congress
sional District:
Having been nominated by the Re
publicans of the district as their cam
didate for Congress, / desire to eX-
press to them my high appreciation
Of the compliment, and to extend to
them my sincere thanks for their sup
port as manifested by expressions OF
approval of my candidacy from ali
portions of the district.
very much regret that the political
situation is such as to demand the
Withdrawal of my name as candidate.
But this district having been conceded
to the Populist nominee, under the
terms of cooperation agreed upon be-
tween the Republicans and Populists,
since my nomination, and appreciat-
ing the vital interests of our friends
involved in the result of this co-opera-
ton, / can not permit my candidacy
to in any way obstruct or retard such
cooperation
1t is generally known that | have
always, from its inception, favored CO.
operation, believing it to be the only
course to break up the courthouse
rings and corrupt methods of the ma
chine mocracy-depriving us of
local self-government and honest and
fair elections; and approaching the
great reforms we have already accom-
plished by cooperation in 1894, | am
for a continuation of the same for the
purpose of perpetuating the reforms
already accomplished in restoring to
the people local self-goyernment and
honest and fair elections.
Actuated by these motives and for
our success in the coming election, !
urge all our friends for the sake of
preserving our most sacred rights and
liberties to be vigilant in the co-opera-
ton ticket, and stand in defense OF our
common cause-shonest elections and
local self-government.
Considering the vital interests in
volved-all contingent upon the poll
teal complexion of the next General
Assembly, hereby Withdraw my
name as candidate. | do SO from
sincere motives and with the most
kind and grateful feelings to my
many friends throughout the district.
Most respectfully,
P. r. MASSEY.
