sumed that he wbuld be found cohtest
. ing for the seat,, along with. Mr. Al
ken. Mr. Dominlck and Capt. Evans

The Intelligencer that hi- had" defi
nitely decided not to run, and .the
the following is what he had to say on
the subject. >
"After carefully considering lhc
matter, I {have decided^ not j td be a
candidate for congres at tijis. time.
Some of diy friends bare tfeen'^khsa^

are good abd'that I should now make
the race. No-one can foretell thentrat
como br a political campaign, and I
do not muan by my declcion to stay

private life until-factionalism is dead

Mr. Dagnall facetiously said:
