The Democratic Nominee for Governor of
Maine Resigns.
PORTLAND. ME-, July 26.-In a letter
OF withdrawal gwen out tonight by Hon.
Howard B. WinsIow of this city. who last
month was nominated as the Democratic
candidate for Governor, he says:
The platform adopted by the State conven-
ton, which has declared for a single gold
standard. is plain, and it was upon that plat
form that was nominated, and 1 could not,
even had 1 SO desired, have accepted this
nomination under any other circumstances
than to stand firmly upon the platform made
by the Democratic party of Maine.
The Democratic National Convention
adopted 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 Con-
vention, which did not consider was right
TO do There have been many expressions on
the part of the Democrats of Maine in regard
to my duty, but it has been plain to me at all
times that there was but one thing for me TO
do, and that was to stand firmly by the Maine
platform. It is evident from the free express
sions OF opinion that IL I wish to secure tile
vote of the Democratic party shall be obliged
to harmonic with both gold and silver plat
forms, and that cannot do under any circum-
stances.
A meeting of the State committee will
be held at once to take action o this i'm

VICTIMS.
Result of the Awful Cloudburst in
Colorado Last Friday
Night.
Twenty One Bodies Have Been Recov
cred, and the Others Have
Floated Away.


DENVER. Colo, July 26.-The victims
OF Friday nights flood were the three in
Golden, four in Mount Vernon Canyon
and twenty-one near Morrison, making a
total of twenty-eight.
The servant-girl, Anna Hansen, who
was reported dead, was not at the camp at
the time of the food. and consequently es-
capped. A charcoal-burner named Nichols
up at Evergreen is reported missing, MAX
ing the total list still twenty-eight. OF
these sixteen bodies were recovered yes
terday, and the body of Mabel HERES, a
little child, was found to-day.
P. Johnson of Arvada telephoned into
Denver this afternoon that he had found
four bodies in the bed of Clear Greek,
about mile above the town of Arvado.
The coroner at Golden was notified, and
will take charge of the bodies.
Up TO the discovery of these four bodies
no report of any missing persons has
come from Golden. Arvada is a country
hamlet between Golden and Denver along
Clear Creek Valley. These bodies there
fore either foated down from Golden or
are those of campers in Clear Creek Valley
between the two points, and are not to be
confounded with missing dead over the
ridge in Bear Greek Valley, where Morri-
son is located.
