A contingency has presented itself In the
ranks of the Republican patty, In this State,
that will likely be the cause Of some chan
ges In the programme mapped out for the
State Convention, which meets on the 18th
Of this month. It had been understood until
yesterday that the only candidate offered to
the convention for Congressional nomina-
tion would be Levi G. Bird. But yesterday,
to the surprise Of all but his intimate Re-
publican friends, Mr.. Bird made the some
Whist startling announcement that he would
be under no consideration candidate for
the nomination before the convention. This
he made as positive answer to . question
put directly 10 him. Mr.. Bird assigns no
reason for this, only that he has never yet
consented for his name to come before the
convention.
This led reporter oft HERALD to seek
out Mr.. Harry Pickele, whom he found
rushing in the greatest hurry from place
to place, evidently busily engaged in mar
shaling bis forces for the coming contest.
He found time to answer all questions put
to him by the HERALD representative. Mr..
Pickels stated that he had not expected any
such contingency q this, and he confessed
that It was . little surprising to him, espe-
cially just at this time, when the time Of
the convention was 10 nearly upon us. But,
said Mr.. Pickels, there are great many
decliners who take the nomination after
all; we have an instance of this in the refu-
cal of Governor Seymour to accept the nom
ination for Gvernor of New York. ! can but
hope that Mr.. Bird will not decline to ac-
cept it.
Among the names mentioned in case Mr.
Bird persists in his determination, ARE those
of George v. Massey and Leander F. Rid
die. the latter the most favOrably spoken Of
