The an,i-bond press throughout the
state, with the exception OF the Mississip-
plan, after all of the ticket was completed
but that of Secretary of State. still refused
to hoist any name for that Office, under
these circumstances, and with firm be-
lief that neither the aDti-boud press or
anG-bond voters would support any lndi.
ylduaI whatever, differing with them il
opinion on the bond question, my friends
aud the friends Of the party generally, IN
lhis section OF the country, without even
consulting with me in regard 10 my wish
to become a candidate, brought my name
before the public; believing as / did, that
the issue would certainly be presented TO
the people OF bond or ntI,bOnI, and that
too for the Office of Secretary, as we'll as
all other state Offices, and having undoubt-
ed evidence that it was the wish of the an.
ti.bondmen generally in this section of the
country that the issue should 90 10 the peo-
pie 10 my name. codsented for it to be
used for that purpose, and shall use my
best oxernons to ensure success, not only
for myself but for the entire antl>bund
ticket.


To the "honor Of the state party" /
have only to say that the best way 10 give
character aud credit to the state is for in
dividuals to meet puncually their engage
mem; it is impossible that the state can
have credit While SO many fail to meet
their obligations, even if the state were to
acknowledge the Union Bank bonds. As
soon as the citizens meet their obligations
the stale will have honor and credit.


respectfully request that those papers
which have copied the Missssippian's
article will in justice to me copy this.


Respectfully,


d. 0. WILLIAMS.
