We do not consider your position
tenable. for the following reasons: On
Friday. September IA. at the meeting
of our State Committee held at Dover,
you, as chairman Of your committee,
and Dr. Layton as chair
man OF your Executive Committee, |
appeared before our committee, stated
that you had full power to act and
then and there agreed to allow us to
name the congressman for the long
term II we would agree TO accept for
governor John Hum, the candidate
whom your Executive Committee had
proposed to us on the preceding We'd
lnesday.
After very full deliberation, and in
order to promote harmony, our COM
mittee on that day accepted your
proposition and named John HUM for
governor, and DIR. /. Heisler Ball for
congressman for the long term, whom
you and DR.. Layton then agreed to ac-
cept.
In view Of the above we feel It to be
our pain duty to decline to make any
change in the ticket as agreed upon at
5 Dover on the 14th instant, as We are
5 convinced that in the present state Of
= public feeling in the party any further
concessions on our part would imperi,
