denomination by the Republican party
and reelection, he made no statement OF
a formal nature to that effect until III
a letter which he sent to the j. s.
Grant Republican Club, of this city and
which was read at the meeting of the
clue Thursday night. In that letter NO
states that he will ''be proud to again
represent his constituency. Whether he
gets the nomination or not he says he
will loyalty stand by the action of his
party.
His letter was an acknowledgment OF
the action taken by the club week ago

ciation that acknowledge the resolution

holding the policy Of our immortal Will
lam Mckinley and our President Theo-
dore Roosevelt as well as of safeguard
ing. in any economic legislation. the in
terests of the throng of workers in the
manifold industries of our State.
HThese have been years of great con-
hicts, measures andispolicies; restoring
protection and giving work for all at
fair wage: maintaining dollar OF full
value in which that wage should be paid;
making Cuba free and the mistress OF
her own destiny; establishing order in
the Philippines, so that they may ad-
vance in the arts Of peace and civiliza-
ton: graphing with the new problems
that grow out of our unexampled pros
perity; settling by law the equality of
each man, for himself and his property
in the common carriage and transporta-
ton of the country; seeing that unjust
determinations shall come to an end;
protecting the people so far as the ma
tional government may. in the enjoyment
of pure foods and drugs; placing two
new States in the galaxy of our starry
flag. creating a navy adequate for our
defense, and to maintain respect for that
flag: reorganizing the army in such wise
that it can be doubled when wanted and
reduced when not needed; encouraging
the militia by ample grants for camp
and training; making laws that at last
insure the isthmian canal between the
two oceans. with full title and settled
plan, of which construction is now be-
gun with the prospect of speedy compile
ton. These are only some Of the great
measures that have gone into history.
ssMy record must say how far l have
done my share. The work. public and
private. has been more than repaid by
the kind expressions which have re-
ceived from men of every party, by the
confidence that has been so generously
reposed in me, and by the feeling that
in doing this work I may have accumu-
lated experience which will enable me to
do it better.
IF my constituents wish me again to
represent them in Congress, I will be
proud to do so and accept the help Of my
friends to that end"
I'm any event / shall do all can in
the campaign to aid in the success Of the
great party whose principles lie, in my
judgment, at the foundation Of the pros
sperity of the whole country.
with remembrances to all my friends
am, yours sincerely,
