—De-tr Sir and Friend: I am deeply!
irraUful for the kind words contained
'n your letter of the 8th inst, buti
knowing your generous nature as I
do, I am not in the least surprised. We'
indeed both worked hard and earnest-!
1.v for this honor, but the responsi-
bility cast upon me by my selection
over so worthy an opponent has sob-
ered rather than elated me.
It has not been by good fortune to
cn.ioy a close acquaintance with the
crentelman selected by the Republican
party as my opponent but I trust
and am confident that he and his
friends will join with us in so con-'
ducting the campaign that the man;
e'ected to the high position of Dis-
trict Judge msy retain that confidence
of his fellow-man in his ability, in-
tegrity and patriotism which is so
essential to the proper administration \
of justice, and which is more impor-
tant thaR the gratificat'on of per-
sonal ambition or malice of any nom- j
inee. Sincerely your friend,
