Joseph E. Pottle announces he is no longer a candidate for Congress from Georgia's Sixth District, citing personal finances and the unsalvageable outlook for the People's party.

The letter endorses no new slate and expresses readiness to back the Democratic party if aligned with the South’s interests. The piece also previews Forepaugh’s circus coming to Americus on the 21st with preparations and venue details.
