Statement by Governor Eagle.

Heretofore | have given nothing to
the public on this subject, but since D
part of the correspondence between
Governor Davis and myself, touching
the governors demand on me for my
resignation as member of the cap
itol commission, has been published
in the city papers, that the facts may
all be known. call attention to the
foregoing. which embraces the entire
correspondence.
Governor Davis says in his state
ment. published in the Gazette of the
4th inst. that l gave as my reason foi
not resigning that l had not Opened
my mouth against him." This is an
incorrect statement. The governor
had charged me in his last communica
him. In my response to the governor
said simply as correction of his
misstatment and as a statment of facts
that in no place have l. in a public
speech said one word against you.
* = Your name was not mention
ed in either Of these talks"
This is what said on this subject.
But | did not say. as | am quoted
by the governor. that had not opened
my mouth against him. was only
making a true statement. without any
reference whatever to the question of
my resignation. My reasons for de-
clining to resign are clearly stated
later in this same communication.

demand OF the governor when l have
