Judge Clark,s Decltnation.

ST. PAUL. Oct. 10, 1SS1.-Hon. Henry Fl. Sibley,
President late Democratic Convention-My Dear
General: To avoid any misconstruction which
might be placed upon my silence with respect to the
action of the Democratic convention, recommend
ing the voters of the State to support Judges Mitch
ell, Dickinson and myself for judges of the supreme
court Notwithstanding my friend Judge Flandrau
had informed the convention of my declnation of
the honor) and in order that the party represented
by the convention may have opportunity to make
other recommendations in my place, I beg to state
that it is still my firm determination not to be
candidate for the office. Be pleased to consider my
declil ion final and conclusive.
Apart from the circumstance that the action of
the convention, over which you had the honor to
preside, places me in an attitude of opposition to
the determination Of the Republican convention,
to whose consideration my name was, with my con-
SENT presented. and whose action therefore con-
strains it is now apparent that political contre-
dentally become connected with the use of my
name, so that any further candidacy on my part
would be likely to concentrate around an Office,
which should, as far as possible, be disconnected
from politics. the disagreeable features of politi
cal campaign, and present apparently at least the
spectacle of an unseemy struggle for the high trust
OF the judge Of the supreme court. cannot think
1t my duty to be party to such controversy.
In thus renewing my declinaton | am not un-
mindful OF, nor ungrateful for, the many generous
expressions Of confidence which the use Of my
name In connection with the office has eicited and
beg to express to yourself and the convention over
whicn you presided, my most grateful thanks for
the nonor conferred upon me, and for the kindness
received at its hands. Very respectfully yours,
GREENLEAF CLARK.

Anna E. Dickinson is to begin her theat-
rical tour on Jan. 2 as Hamlet, following
that with Claude Melnotte and Macbeth.
She says there will be no backing out this
time, as all the arrangements are complete
and satisfactory. Her first appearance will
probably be in Hartford. In the first two
characters named she will wear her rather
short hair about as usual, and her face will
not be disguised, SO that she will look fa-
miliar, except in dress. As Macbeth she
will wear wig and whiskers.
