A Jefferson City correspondent Of
the Kansas City Times, last Sunday,
in q pleasantly written letter OF poIiti.
cal gossip, has this,amosg other things.
to ssy:-"Hon. w. f. Coleman, the
present incumbent, desires to succeed
himself, aud will be u candidate. He
has made a very excellent officer, aud
there can be no objection urged against
him, except ~ Il third term candidate,
and no doubt the tact that he wants n
third term will be made TO do full duty
in the canvass" The announcement
that Mir. Coleman is a candidate Is
erroneous. He sometime since pos.
itively and clearly declined to enter the
race. That Hr. Coleman has been IA

as well as democrats, and 1t may safely
be assumed hat il he were a candidate
several of the gentlemen now running
wonld not oppose him, but he is NOT
a candidate, and il is only fair t him
that he sbonld not be misunderstood.
