Candidates who were Delegates to the District Convention traded
votes more or less. This left me a plurality. All the wire work-
ing politicians were opposed to me, but the people were & are
with me. Wiley would not withdraw & in consequence kept up
the ballots otherwise it would have been decided in a short time
in my favor. The two third rule was adopted which encour-
aged the hope with those opposed to me that I might be de-
feated. All the other candidates have opposition. As yet I
have none, & it is thought that I will have none, yet I should
not be surprised if Houston were to bring out some one in oppo-
sition as I have condemned his course & shall do so whenever
occasion offers.
The people are with me & I presume I shall be elected but I
shall electioneer but little & if I were to consult my own feelings
none at all, the party has claims upon me & in a few days I shall
turn out.
