Gentlemen— Your requisition has placed me in an awkward position — but still one of which I musjb and do feel proud. When I announced my intention of withdrawing from the approaching contest, I felt that I was to some exjtent guilty of deserting you I at a time when of all other? you needed the services of those who had already given you an earnest of the sincerity of their endeavors to promote your interests and those of the County generally. That inisgivipg has been strengthened by the influential requisition you have presented me, and 1 cannot now any longer hesitate to, offer you the continuance of my services. lam glad to think i that my past political conduct has been so satisfactory to you as to call for the confidence which you have done me tfye honor to express. I can only say further that should I again be returned as one of your members in the County Council you shall not have cause to recal the trust you have reposed in me. I shall have an opportunity of publicly expressing my opinions before the election, and beg to subscribe myself, Gentlemen, Your obedient servant, W. H. HARRISON.
