In a letter to the Evening Journal,
published in another column, Samuel M.
Knox declares that he is not a candi-
date for recollection to the State Senate,
and that he would decline the honor IL
rendered. Many OF our citizens, both
in Mr. Knoxs district and through
out the State. will regret his determi-
nation; but they do not look for him
to waver. since that is not character
istic of Mr.. Knox. He will retire from
the Senate with the admiration Of
thousands OF men who have followed
his course in the Legislature. He may
have made mistakes, but his services
have been great, and The has compelled
Admiration and respect. It will be a
satisfaction to him in future years to
know that in the strenuous days OF
1891 he was regarded as tho leader OF
the immortal seven" He needs no
other honor. IL will not be an easy
matter to select a successor of equal
character and ability.
