notable events that must he chron.
icled, though briefly, in these let
ters.
/ The retiring of Col. j. II. Jones
from the Gubernatorlal canvas
was not surprise to your CORES,
pondent; for | heard him say AT
Winona that he hesitated long be,
! fore announcing, and that he hao
not vet fully satisfied himself that
/ he did the wise thing; that there
might be family and professional
reasons that would be in the way
| of protracted canvass, etc. Col.
Jones, in the matter and manner
of his address at Winona, made a
fine impression on the great au-
dience which paid him such mark
