be the case, l wish you, as my friend, to state
to the convention that whilst fully appreci-
ate the honor, and am most grateful to my
friends who thought me worthy of it, most
positively decline to be brought before the
convention as candidate, my business rela-
tions being such as will utterly preclude me
from taking part in an active canvass at the
present time. My most hearty support shall
be given to the nominee of the convention.
Very truly yours,
SAMUEL j. ANDERSON.
At this hour (midnight) the committee and
delegates are entirely at sea. Many denounce
Anderson and some say he desired to be nomi-
mated by the Greenback convention first.
There is some talk of nominating Hon. Bion
Bradbury or Col. John M. Adams from the
First District while others are in favor OF ad-
journing to-morrow's convention without NOM
mating Congressman, and leaving that work
for the District Conventions. The State Com
mittee will hold several sessions between this
time and the meeting of the Convention.
Hon. George f. Emery has been selected to
preside in place of Mr.. Clifford. Major Bel
cher, Judge Morrill, and Mr.. Dempsey decline
a Congressional nomination. Ex-Gov Garce-
lon d. r. Hastings of Fryeburg and ex-Mayor
Lyford of this city are mentioned.

A large party of citizens were present. One of
the Herberts was practicing a very diflcult
and dangerous feat-that OF standing on the
top of the back OF a chair which stood up in It's
natural position, and turning a back somer-
sault and alighting in standing posture, the
same as before the feat. Tho feat is extremely
difficult, as the slightest mismove topples the
chair over. 1t is trebly more dazzling than
the turning from one acrobat's shoulder and
alighting upon another. In performing the
feat Herbert missed his footing and alighted
