Mayor PilisHurY Again Emphatt-
c0iIy Refuses a Second Term.
A goodly number of goody-goOd Republic
cans, including that massive combination OF
blood and brains yclept young Mr.. Bailey,
continue to lay the fattering JUNCTION to
their souls that Mayor Pillsbury will consent
to lay aside all personal Feelings and we'll
earned repoSe for the balance of his years.
and ignoring his ott-repeated statements 10
the contrary, allow his name 10 be presented
TO the Republican convention tomorrow
Tor denomination Tor another term. So sure
We're they that they insisted on Senator
Langdon. John ii. Thompson, and other
ssd campaguerS making a final appeal to
the mayor ON Saturday last. just before the
seueuses. and in the knowledge that the
visit would be made, numerous Pillsbury
tickets were prepared, and delegates rushed
through with hUrrah.
The delegation visited the city hall about
noon. and not finding the mayor there re-
paired 10 his private office ana awaited his
arrival. Senator LaHgdOn was the chief
spokesman. although the others contributed
an occasional remark, but the meeting was
not q success. After reviewing the pres
ent deplorabie condition of the Re
publican party, the absolute neceS-
in view of the important elections next fan,
and the alleged certainty of Mr. Pilisbury's
reelection, it was proposed Immediately
after the organization of the convention to
pass resolutions highly laudatory OF the adj
minStTatiUn ana unanimously requesting
him for the sake of harmony 10 lead the for
lom hope. The plan didn't seem TO meet
with his honor, and as he remained silent,
the question was put point blank:
in that event. can we rely on yOu?"
The answer was clncheT. Under no
circumstances can / accept a denomination.
l have said 30 repeatedly and supposed it
was we'll understood The Republicans
can elect any good man and You have no
right to ask me TO run. could not, and
will not. accept a denomination. even if it
was rendered unanimously by the whole
people"
The would-be dictators retired crestfallen,
fully confirmed that another standard
bearer would have 10 be selected. But some
Of the leaders are not without hope. They
think the best plan now will be To take
dozen ballots, carefully arranging mat
terS 50 as to nominate no one
and allow no candidate to have much of a
lead over the others. Then TO take a recess
and during recess make another attack on
the mayor, pointing 10 the ballots to show
that neither Camp, Sly, Farnham. King,
Hehelhnger. Haugan or any one but him
self can solidily the party and demand that
he consent to run.
Unfortunately for the schemers Mayor
PillSbury is aware Of the trap set for him
and declares that he will not fall into it.
He is doubtless influenced to some extent
by the fact that he has been personally APP
preached by several would-be candidates
who declared they would not run if he
would, and has repeatedly assured them
that he would not be in their way. Now
some of them are actively in the field and
others in training as dark horses" and if
they are cruelty deceived al the last mo-
ment much bad blood will be engendered.
Mayor PillSbury viii in no event be a can
didate-there no longer seems any chance
for dOnht ON that nueSiion
