Hon. W. D. Tutt, of McDuffl*, writes;
Thomson, Ga., December 5tb, 1883 —Messrs A. W.
Mershon and others: Oenla: Your very kind let
ter of Inquiry reached me to day, and I assure jou
that I feel greatlv battered by this evidence of your
leraonal friendship and esteem. You ask whether
expect to become a candidate for tho nomination
before the congressional convention. This question
cannot now answer definitely. You well kuow
that the compliment of a nomination by the de
mocracy of the tenth district would be an honor to
bo coveted and highly prized by every man of any
political aspiration whatever, but there are so
many who would reflect bouor upon the
office, and an enllgbteued constituency, that X
bestltate at this oarly day toannnounce myself as a
candidate. I will aay, however. If my friends shall
•t tho proper tlmedotermtno that my claims to the
office will llkoly meet with popular Indorsement
aud approval, then ! may become a caudtdate for
their support for the nomination, then If you can
persuade the dcmocracry that 1 will make an effi
cient standard bearer for the approaching cam
palgu I assure you I would willingly, cheerfully,
and 1 trust with becoming pride, endeavor to bear
to victory.”
