Ames<br \/>\nJackson<br \/>\nMiss<\/p>\n<p>Dear Sir<\/p>\n<p>I arrived here on yesterday and today I have tried to ascertain what the feeling is as to the appointment of Smith as Justice of Peace. I find a great feeling of oposition to him though I understand from Judge Quinn that a petition signed numerously by republicans has been filed in your office. I have told Mr. Quinn that I would not oppose the appointment though I am satisfied that a better man &#8211; a Republican at least could be found. I see plainly the object \u2014 to accede something to the Democrats \u2014 and we have an uncompromising set of them here. If Quinn recommends Smith I will say nothing in opposition to him. We have always look upon Judge Quinn as the first &#038; best Republican of the whites in the county &#038; I do not believe he would make a bad recommendation and while I would&#8217;nt oppose his man I say as before that a Republican could be found who would be more acceptable with the Republicans. I trust you will make the appointment.<\/p>\n<p>Yours Truly &#038;c<br \/>\nJno. W. Randolph<\/p>\n<p>Appt Smith<br \/>\nA<\/p>\n"},"caption":{"rendered":"<p>Letter to Governor Ames, August 3, 1875<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"Letter to Governor Ames, August 3, 1875","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/png","media_details":{"width":1193,"height":881,"file":"2023\/03\/randolphletter3.png","filesize":2019101,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"randolphletter3-300x222.png","width":300,"height":222,"filesize":115026,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3-300x222.png"},"large":{"file":"randolphletter3-1024x756.png","width":1024,"height":756,"filesize":1121593,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3-1024x756.png"},"thumbnail":{"file":"randolphletter3-150x150.png","width":150,"height":150,"filesize":41075,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3-150x150.png"},"medium_large":{"file":"randolphletter3-768x567.png","width":768,"height":567,"filesize":654486,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3-768x567.png"},"twentyseventeen-thumbnail-avatar":{"file":"randolphletter3-100x100.png","width":100,"height":100,"filesize":19093,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3-100x100.png"},"full":{"file":"randolphletter3.png","width":1193,"height":881,"mime_type":"image\/png","source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3.png"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]}},"post":213,"source_url":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/randolphletter3.png","filename":"randolphletter3.png","filesize":2019101,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4958"}],"wp:attached-to":[{"embeddable":true,"post_type":"page","id":213,"href":"https:\/\/much-ado.net\/legislators\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
