by Ohio Republicans.

COLUMBUS. o., May 30.-The following
statement was given out by T. n. Sinks.
private secretary 10 Governor Nash to-day:
'Since the return of Governor Nash from
California some doubts have been ex-
pressed as TO whether he would be a can
didatc for denomination. owing TO the con-
dition OF his health. Some rumors have ii
that the Governor himself has positively
declined to allow his name TO be consid-
cred. There is absolutely no foundation
for such doubts and rumors. The Governor

some months since, when he said that IL
the Republican party desired TO honor him

There is no probability of Governor Nash's

improving in a manner entirely satisfac-

fdent of his early and complete recovery"
