Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 July 1884 — A Letter front Mr, Cox. [ARTICLE]

A Letter front Mr, Cox.

Mr. -Editor, I des.ro through your columns, to extend by heartiest thanks to the Delegates and other Republicans from your U ounty, who so earnestly supported me in Convention, for Nomination for Auditor of State. I do not take to myself any credit for the splendid support which was given me, but deem I was so honored by the desire of a Republican State Convention to place in that honorable position, one of that -class 'of men of Which the Republican Party is so largely composed. The men whose days are spent in arduous toil, with both muscle and brain. Not that it is necessary for our Party to make any special effort to show to the Laboring Man that it is his Champion, for every line of its history is replete with such evidence. But that they as a class had asked for a representative upon our State Ticket, in a year when all are sanguine of the eomplete sueeess of both our National and State Tickets. That I was not so honored, was caused only by the fact that I was not generally known throughout the State as being the representative of the Laboring Class. Had this been fully understood, my nomination would have been assured. I desire to assure the Republicans that I have no chagrin, or sore spots by reason of tty defeat, and Will give to the entire Ticket my most earnest support. Truly Yours, CRITTENDEN A. COX, New Albany, June 24, 1884.
