To the Editor of the Press:
notice by an article in last Fridays Daily
Press that I was made one of the nominees of
that party that held Convention in Portland
on the 18th inst.
Now as it was done without my knowledge
or consent, and as have never associated my
self with that party in any respect whatever in
their party movements, I hereby protest against
my name being used in connection with such
party as nominee for any Office whatever. As
have ever considered any movement made by a
third party at this time as playing into the
hands of the Demoesatc patty, cannot con-
sent to aid it. If should ever conclude to
aid the cause of the Democratic party should
prefer to vote the Democratic ticket than to
embracing side issue to play into their hands.
