H. Reall, Esq., Philadelphia. Dear ttir, several seve-ral days ago -I received by mail, accompanied ac-companied with your card, an article over your name, published in the Delaware Co. Democrat of Dec. 3Uth last. I perused tho artiolo with much interest, and many of its views command com-mand my unqualified approval, but I have only time now to thank you for your kind reference to me in that article, ar-ticle, and to say that it is not my desire de-sire in any degree whatever that my name bo used in connection with the national ticket of this year. The Indiana In-diana democrats will present to cur national convention the name of Governor Hendricks, in whoso advocacy advo-cacy for that high place I will stand with them- in hearty co-operation. My judgment is that our friends this year cannot do better, if so well, than to nominate Gov. Hendricks. "(Signed) M. C. Kerb." |
