press my hearty comnendation, for
having stood Dy their friends. For
the great mass Of citizens who acted
without predjuIce i'll casting their bal
lots for one or the other of my op-

other better. And, However much of
disappointment defeat may be to me,
your verdict against my furthur publ
service at this time is accepted with
