As the friends of our respected fellow
citizen, Rev Edward R. Geary, all over
the State were confidently anticipating his
nomination, for the Office of Governor, at
the hands of the Republican State Conven-
ton, in April next, and believing, from
our knowledge of his great ability, high
moral worth and unblemished character,
that he was just the man for the position,
we called upon Mr.. Geary to know what
his wishes in the matter were. His
friends throughout the State, as we
were, will be sorry to learn that Mr..
Geary absolutely refuses to be a candidate
for any Office in the gift of the people.
He had given the matter due consideration
aud this is his ultimatum. The name oil
Mr. Geary would have been tower oi
strength to the ticket, and we are sorry
that imperative duty demands his entire
withdrawal form the political arena.
