Col. Taylor nes did in his life solicit me to become cn, didate, nor never knew my intention of b. coming a candidate, until my name hi been announced to some of my fienis and every assertion touching myself, | that piece, is equally mntrae-further, fs we'll known it is just at the heel of the sh. ton, therefore his object must be seen
