zation, and also to the Republican
County committee, about one week after
it was signed, and was duly ratified by
both organizations.
'As we became candidates for the
General Assembly with the understand.
ing that, if nominated, We would be
actively and loyalty supported through
the approaching campaign and at the
election of 1898, by all Republicans
Regular and Union, OF the county, in ac'
cordance with paragraph five OF the
agreement above set forth, we are at {
loss to understand why anything shoulc
be required of us before obtaining the
support promised by your organization
as one OF the parties to the above agree
ment.
"You will, of course, perceive that w
have been nominated by two organiza
tions, and we therefore feel that it would
be unwise, and improper, and also dis
courteous to the other organization, fol
US to take any action on your communi'
cation, and we trust, that upon reflection
you will come to the same conclusion.
Every respectfully yours, ...
