WINSLOW'S LETTER.
The Portland Man Cannot ConscIen-
tiousIy Accept Nomination.
Does not Feel That He Can Run Under Prcscn
State OF Affairs.

Portland. July 25.-The following let
ter of withdrawal was given out. to-
night by Hon. Edward j.. Winslow OF

mated as the Democratic candidate Tor
Governor:
Hon. Charles +. Johnson, Hon. :. e.
Gordon. Hon John w. Decring
Gentlemen: Your letter of June
oath. Informing me of the action of the
Democratic State convention held IL
Portland, June 18th, which made me
the unanimous choice of the conVen-
ton as candidate for Governor to DC
voted for at the approaching election,
was duly received, and in reply would
say that / deeply feel the honor con-
ferred unon me and am profoundly
grateful to the Democrats of Maine
for the confidence they placed in me
in placing me in nomination as their
standard bearer. | deferred answering
this letter until after the national con-
vention held at Chicago. June 18th.
Il regret very much the complica-
tions which have arisen when VIII
make it impossible for me to see my
vay clear to accept this nomination SO
kindly extended to me. The platform
adopted by the State convention, Which
has declared for single gold standard,
is plain, and it was upon that platform
that | was nominated. and l could not,
even had | so desired, accepted this
nomination under any other circim-
stances than to stand firmly upon the
platform made by the Democratic
party of Maine.
THE Democratic national convention
adopted a platform declaring for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver,
and there was a strong pressure
brought to bear to have me announce
myself in favor of the national conven-
ton. which | did not consider it right
