Jackson, Miss. June Z.
70 the Voters of the State of Missis-
sippi:
Some months ago l announced my
self, at the request of friends IN
different sections of the state, a a
candidate for lieutenant governor, a
position l had formerly held in the
administration of the late Hon. John
M. Stone. A the time of my an
nouncement | was not aware that
Hon. J. 2. Garter had consented to
enter the contest for the same posi-
tion. Capt. Carter and myself have
long been personal friends and having
other business that requires the most
of my time, now retire from the con-
test. In taking this step beg to
make my acknowledgements to
friends throughout the state for their
proffered earnest support. While l
have not seen or conferred with Capt
Garter in regard to my withdrawal,
it gives me pleasure TO say that he
was a gallant Confederate soldier; has
served with much credit in both
houses of the legislature; was one OF
the makers of the constitution under
which we live, and is in the broadcast
sense Christian gent 'eman, and
worthy Of any honor that his country
may bestow on him. NJ. NJ. EVANS.

of lieutenant governor is Capt. j. 2.
