Of Livingston County AnnOuces
for State Senator.

The following announcement has
appeared in the Smithland papers and
will be Of interest To all of our read
ers in Livingston county;
After careful thought and dellber-
alton, and being convinced that there
is no one in this county desiring To
ask the nomination. | have decided To
announce myself as candidate for
the Democratic nomination to succeed
the late Senator j. W. Gilbert, of
Galloway.
Inasmuch as Galloway county has
had the honor ten years, Trigg four
and Lyon four since this county has
been honored, il does seem to me
that old Livingston county should
now be recognized. aud that the De
mocrscy of this county should insist.
on an honest and fair consideration
~ our claims
As every other county in the dis
trict has an avowed candidate, fail
to see but what the chances for sue
cess To our county under the circum-
stances are as good as those of any
other.
| especially desire to thank the
Democracy Of my county for the many
past favors shown me, and | assure
you that il successful in my ambition
you shall never have cause to regret
having given me again your support
Again thanking you, | beg to re-
main, Yours truly.
