AS there seems to be some misun-
derstanding as to the action of those
who arbiUrated the question as between
N. Emanuel and r. r. Hopkins as to
which of them Should become a candi-
date for mayor, We desire to fully ac-
, quaint the public with the facts.
Mr.. Emanuel and Mr.. Hopkins were
both being prominently mentioned as
candidates for the office. and having
/ been personal and political friends, did
not desire to oppose each other in a
general contest, Exercising their
rights as free American citizens, they
desired to ask a number of their mu-
tual friends in whose judgement and
discretion they had confidence, to say
which one of them these friends
thought ought to make the race as be
tween the two, without any reference
To any other candidate, or prospective
candidate, and without any way seek
ing to bind the people of Brunswick
To this end they addressed a request
to the undersigned and to A. l.. Frank
lin and j. r. Coson, the former now
being i'll at his nome and Mr.. Colson
ing absent from the city, to consider
and determine the questi n. It was
expressly stated in this communication
that the action of the committee
should not be treated as an attempt
at making nomination. Any think
ing man can recognize that it was not
an agreeable task for us to decide this
matter, as all of us were political
ana personal friends of both of The
gentlemen, and our sole object was to
cooperate with the spirit shown by
them, which was to avoid as between
them and their friends, heated politi-
cal campaign.
No one had the slightest purpose
