Representative Republicans Called
On Him Last Night,
Requested That He Al
low Use of Name.
Pledged Him Support of Vari'
Gus Wards.

A body of leading Republicans, repre-
sentative of the various wards in the CITY,
waited upon q. Newton Trefethen, ct his
last evening at his home on West High
street to urge him to allow the use OF his
name as candidate for mayor at the
next convention of the Republican party.
Those present were Il. Il. Benner, chair
man OF the Repu hlican city committee,
Thomas b. Haskell, A. A. Cole, II. +.
G. Hersey. W. ii. Bradford, NJ. A.
Hanna, Fremont jose, j. IL. Taylor,

Stone, W. A. Cobb, Usgood GRAHAM, Al
bert q. Loveitt, ELMER Jordan, Edwin W.
Cobb, A X. Angel, I'd, George
Griffin, Henry Cash. A letter was sent
by Captain A. ID. Boyd regretting that
he was unable to be present and express
ing sympathy in the object OF the gather
ing.
Thomas b. Haskell speaking for his
ward, said there was an earnest desire on
the part of the Republicans that MIR. Ire
fethsn should be their standard bearer In
the approaching mayoralty campaign
and while they realized the fact that be
was not sesking the honor and II his per-
sonal wishes were followed that he would
decline still they urged for the good OF
the city and the party that Mr. Trefethen
permit his name to go before the oonven-
ton and II so the support Of ward six
was pledged to him. The sentiments ex'
pressed by Mr.. Haskell were echoed by
representative men from the other wards
ana there was unanimity of judgment
that MIR. Irerethen should be announced
as q candidate.
MIR. Trefethen was deeply touched that
so many Of his Republican friends should
have braved the elements on such a night
to acouaint him with their political
preference for him and faid that this
fact was an honor which he deeply appre-
ciated, quite as much as an election to
the mayoralty. He said he had never
sought the nomination and If he followed
his personal inclinations he even then
should decline the use of his name before
the convention He could not, howsvar,
disregard the wishes of such representa-
tive body of his Republican friends and
In obedience to their urgent request be
would allow the use OF his name and
closed by thanking all present for the
pledges of support which had been offered
him.
