A.f rer meeting him I find it was true, for he did not wiah to be, bat WU3 pressed iato it, on the plea tint no ona elss would bo nominated. I qaHe r.groo that every iatep>yer has a perfect right to nO'ivnate and vote for whom he likes, which I hope they will, but what I hava to cay io, if I had known I would not have Ciuaod the expense to the Borough of an olvotlon, but being nominated, and believing I ssn honestly and practically represent tho ra'ppayora.
