It was u follows: Atlanta, April 6 —Gentlemen of the Exec utive Committee: Nearly two years ago, by action of tbe democratic party of tbo stato of Georgia, I became a member of this commit tee. Before that body met there appeared to be some diuatlsfaction in democratic ranks with the condition of affairs, and grave loan wren, entertained that its action would not bd ratified at the polls. The convention had scarcely adjourned before it became evident that a rlgoroaa campaign wu necessary to secure the election of its nominee for the highest office within thogiftof the people of Georgia. Tbo result of that contest wu de cisive, and it wu qnickly followed by tbe recovery of the two congressional districts which had been represented by gentlemen who bad been elected over the nominees of the democralio conventions The death of Governor Stephens rendered necessary the nomination and election of a successor, and the notion of the convention called to fill tho vacancy, was indorsed at tbe polls withont even the appearance of opposition. These results, of so lunch consequence to the pros perity of our beloved slate, were accomplished by earnest aud systematic labor, and to you, gentlemen, assisted lay an able democratic preas, is due much of the credit. Tbe ardu ous work is over, and tbe interests of tho party in this state will soon be confided to other hands. I have endeavored to discharge to the beat of my Ability the dnties assigned me by the convention to which this committee owes its existence, and bad hoped to continue with you until our successors were selected in accordance with the usages ot tho party, bnt what I trust is an honorable ambition hns led me to aspire to tbe democratic nom- nation for congreu front tbe ilftb district, and possibly it might be thought that my connection with this committee could be used to advance my own interests In the direction indicated. Realising profoundly that under our system of government nothing coitld.be more demoralizing than the use of n public office or trust for private ends, I de sire to keep myself beyond the criticisms ol even the moat aenaftlve or suspicious. I therefore tender my resignation as chairman and a member of tbe committee, end in go doing, permit me to say that’ I lever my con nection with yon entertaining tho kindest feelings towards every member. Trusting that tbedellberaUous upon which you aro about to enter will result In main taining tho harmony now existing In the democratic parly, and in continuing its complete supremacy in Georgia, believe me, very truly yours, Henry Jscksor.
