1T is announced that Hon. ELLERy II.
WILSON of East Providence, one of the
most able Of representative Republi-
cans, for many years member of the
lower branch of the Assembly. twice its
Speaker and always leader, is not to
again be a candidate for the seat he has
80 long filed with so much of usefulness
to the State and credit TO himself. The
reasons for Mr.. WILSON'S retirement are
not particularly anybody's business
but his own, but anybody who
pretends to think that it is actuated by
any fear that East Providence Repub-
licans would not nominate him if he
would again accept, or that East Provi-
dence voters would not return him if he
would run, is obviously mullet-head.
