ESPKINGFIELD, Ohio, Aug IL 1-Gen keifer
has practically withdrawn from the con-

following communication for publication:
From the first announced to all VINO
conrerSed with me upon the subject, that
would not engage in heated contest for
congressional honors Up to recent date
1t seemed that there would practically I've
little opposition TO my nomination Affairs
have, however, progressed SO far that | am
now satisfied that tie nomination would
come only after such contest ! have no
wish to engage in it personally, and | can
not ask my friends to do so ! am still
further disincllned to go through the worry
and anxiety of vexatious canvass, be-
cause my private, personal and family
affairs do not at this time render a return
to congress specially desirable TO me, al
though L was willing to- serve the people to
the best of my capacity, if they generally
desired it regret this announcement has
been delayed as its earlier appearance
might have saved my friends in the district
some effort and trouble iu my behalf To
them, and all others throughout the
country, who have so generally rendered
me their good wishes and sympathy can
only return my earnest thanks
