JUDGE FLEMING.-The name Of our
towusnan, Hon. a. B. Fleming. has several
times boeu mentioned by interriewers, slate
makers and newspapers as a probable caudi-
date for Governor. Hc docs not desire that
this should be done. lie would be unwilling
TO enter into active canvass for political
"fice while holding judicial position, aud
having accepted the appointment to Gil the
vacancy occasioned by the death Of the late
j Ee Lewis, and been recently elected
70 the heDoh By the people, he does not ieel
free to resign his place to become candi-
date for another Office, however honorable it
may be. lie feels highly compl.meuted by
the generous manner in which his name has
beeu mentioned in this connection, and
deeply grateful for tho kind expressions of
his friends, but considers TINT duty requires
that he should decline the proposed honor
should it be rendered to him.
