ooNFLl'TING CONSTRUCTION.
The letter above given receives construction
in conformity with the hopes. wishes and de
sireS of all par les. Among Mr.. Sargent's sup
p0ricrS il is construed to be positive refusal to
either seek or accept Senatorial hOuorS. ON the
part of those who prefer Governor Stanford to
any other candidate, or who prefer him to the
three candidates now IN the field il is construed
to be simply statement that Governor Stanford
Will adhere in good faith 20 the assurances given
Mr.. Sargent, and Mr.. GoOdall in behalf of Mr..
Perkins, that he win in no way prejudice their
eases bciOre the Legislature. They say that no
one expects that Governor Stanford viii either
directly or indirectly commit any act of bad
faith but they also state that the letter is not
declaration that he viii not accept the Office if
ii was rendered him, They further affirm that
such tender can he made through no procure
ment of Governor Stanford, and that should
neither Mr.. Sargent nor Governor Perkins be
, able to command Il choice, ana the introduction
of a fourth name becomes necessary, the field
will be as free to Governor stanford rs to any
other man.
To all this it is replied that the ex-GovernorS ;
| letter is an emphatic, uncquivocal refusal TO
allow his name to be canVdsSed at all. To this
again the rCioiEdcr Is made that such refusal
only relates 10 the relation between himself and
the candidates named. and can by no distortion
be made to have meaning beyond that point.
