The following letter from Judge Dut-
ton, announcing his determination not
to stand a. a candidate for mayor OF ELS
worth at the election set for April 6. has
been received:
ELLSWORTH. March 10, 1896
To the Editor Of The american:
Having this day filed with the city
clerk my Withdrawal as candidate for the
Office Of mayor, and notified the respec-
tive committees OF the democratic and
republican parties, Ithink perhaps some
public expression of my reasons therefor
viii be expected BY those ~ho have
already manifested their approval OF my
candidacy al the polls
For many years the annual ceremony OF
eating our own heads of at the spring
election has seemed to me unwise aud
unnecessary, and when, in the spring of
ISIS, was asked to head joint ticket of
the democratic and republican parties, re-
gHrdInE the movement as step in he
right direction, though hazardous and
uncertain in its results, felt that !
should show myself selfish and lacking
N public spirit II refused, and although
a position OF this kind is distasteful to
me, was willing to contribute my small
share to the common veal.
The issues on which ! was elected were
the "interests of Ellsworth and not OF
any party; the avoidance OF municipal
strife with the consequent and inevitable
issues and results OF economy, good
government and public improvement.
| entered on my duties with hope and
enthusiasm. Whether | have been non
partizan, faithful and devoted to the best
interests of Ellsworth, only those may
say who choose properly to inform them
selves.
Contrary, perhaps, to my better judg
ment, certainly to my inclinations, at the
invitation of the joint committee, again
stood for mayor at the recent election.
So far as the failure to elect mayor is
concerned, the result has not been salts
factory to the friends OF the citizens
movement.
1t is not in accordance with the spirit
OF this movement that elections should
be conducted in other than the most
harmonious spirit. II the so-calied citi-
zens' movement is not substantially
unanimous in the democratic and repub-
lican parties, there is danger OF failure.
Meantime. with the kindest feelings
toward every citizen, and wishing Els
worth all prosperity in her municipal
affairs am
Yours respectfully.

carries with him the personal good
will of the entire board which has
chosen his successor.

Some surprise was created when 1t
was learned that Senator Hale was
one of the minority of six senators
who voted against the Cuban resolu-
ton last week. On Tuesday the SEN
ator had an opportunity any We're
needed to give his reasons for the
position he took, when the conference
report on the Cuban concurrent res
olution was laid before the Senate. At
this writing we cannot give his re-
marks in full; it is sufficient to say
now that, in his Judgment, the exist
ing conditions did not justify a recog-
milton of those in rebellion against a
friendly government. The intlamma-
tory appeals of the senators, based
upon statements that We're not cor
roborated, were not sufficient to pur-
suade him to act other than he had
acted. Subsequent events and later
information only proved, he said, the
business of the position he had as
sumed

Mayor buttons Withdrawal.

1t is with the utmost reluctance that
we drop from the head of this column
the name of George p. Dutton as the
candidate for mayor on the citizens
ticket. The reason for it is Mr.. Dut-
toms withdrawal from the contest.
Some of his reasons for this action are
set forth in a communication to be
found elsewhere in this issue.
The failure TO elect Mayor Dutton
last week illustrates two phases of
citizenship that menace the right con-
duct of public affairs; one phase is the
Indifference of large number of in
teligent men who are so unmindful
of their duty as citizens as to make
no effort to vote, even when their in
difference threatens to result in a
state of things with which they them
selves would be among the first to find
fault.
The other phase is the jeopardizing
of the public welfare by voting
against candidate in order to crafty
personal grievance-real or fancied.
The operation of these two deplora-
BILE facts resulted in depriving the city
of Ellsworth of the services of as
capable public officer as ever filled
the mayors chair. The responsibility
is with the people; they were given
an opportunity to elect mayor who
was the unanimous choice of two
party caucuses, and that, too, after
having served the city for year with
conspicuous ability and fidelity.
Having failed to elect him under
these circumstances, Mr.. Dutton feels
that he is no longer under any obliga-
ton to stand. Loyal to the citizens
movement, however, he will heartily
support the candidate whom the Joint
committees may name, and it is ear
nestly to be hoped that in this posi-
ton, at least, he may have the vigor
Gus cooperation of all his right
thinking fellow citizens.
Stand by the citizens movement!
