Hon. Holster Clymcr declines boing
a candidate for Governor before tho
next Democratic State Convention
Ills reasons are given in The following
leltcri
RrAnisa, December q, 1865.
HoN WILLIAM lopMNs-Ny Dear
ir.-Your letter Of the oath inst
requires that should no longer with.
hold from you and others who have
addressed me on tho subject, my deter.
mination not to be a candidate for the
nomination TO be made by the next
Democratic State Convention for the
Office of Governor
There are private reasons inAuen-
cling me TO this decision which ! deem
imperative. If these did not exist, |
should not hesitate, If called on, to as.
sumo the care, labor andresponsibility
attaching to the leadership Of the
Democratic party in the coming con
tost. am not unmindful of, crimson
sble to, the high honor it conters. |
have held it once, and from my own
county and from many others, united
and cordial support is rendered should
] again be willing to accept it. This
continued and generous confidence
renders it less difficult to do that which
| sincerely trust may be for the wei
fare of our organization.
Say, then, to my friends in Wash
ington county that | am not candi-
date Tell them of my thankfulness
for their support in the past, and as
sure them they can do me no greater
kindness, and their party and State
no better service, than by laboring TO
secure the nomination of some one
who is of tried integrity, high personal
honor and of unninching courage. He
must be devoted TO constitutional
Democratic principle, and have illus
trated il by his conduct. If he has a
record made in the public service, il
should be unsoiled and above suspicion.
4 The party should not palliate or defend
official corruption or delinquency.
Our canvass should be aggressive. II,
hitherto, he has rendered no public
official service, his fitness and capacity
should be attested by qualities which
have secured for him the confidence
: and trust of the great body Of the
people.
, | have endeavored briefly to indi.
cate qualities / deem essential in a
Candidate know thoy aro possessed
by many distinguished Democrats in
the State. The convention is not
! likely to err in its choice, which, when
made, shall receive my active and
cordialsupport.
] cannot close this letter without
thanking you for your continued
friendship, personal and political Ii
dates from my entrance upon public
life. ! have always cherished it as no
slight evidence Of official and political
integrity. That l may be worthy OF
it's continuance is my earnest wish.
Truly your friend,
HESTER CLYMER.

The Bishops Of the NJ. L. Church
seem to be as fond Of notoriety as
some Of their employees. In order to
get their names before the public.
thsy, soon after the election, addressed
a letter to General Grant. Whether
they wish to be made foreign minis
tiers or seek to become his Cabinet,
We know not, but it looks to US as
though they supposed they owned
General Grant, or that he is compelled
10 follow their dictation. Such snob-
biug is disgracofal:

The loilists have defeated Gen. r.
