GOVERNOR CHAMBERLAIN WILL
 ING.

Declares Himself a Candidate in Same
 Sense He Was Year Ago.
 Hartford, June 22.-In reply to a let ter received from Thomas Dudley Wells. of Hartford, asking him if he would be willing to accept a renomina- ton for the high office which he had filled with singular success. Governor Chamberlain has sent this reply:
 Meriden, July 21. MT. Thomas Dudley Wells. Hartford, Conn:
 Dear Sir-In answer to your esteem ed letter of June 14, fully appreciate | the honor conferred upon me by the people of Connecticut, and have tried l in plain, practical way faithfully to discharge the many duties and large responsibilities of the office. To main- tain the good name of Connecticut and | to promote the welfare of it's people have been my constant endeavors. With my efforts approved by my fellow-cit- izens and my own conscience I should be satisfied to retire at the close of the term for which have been elected, but your communication and many expres- sions of an appreciative character from other men in various parts of the state lead me to the conclusion that it is my duty to defer to these expressions of their wish and their judgment. The nomination for governor two years ago came to me unsought I have not sought and could not seek a renomina- tion, but leave this matter to the re- Ipublicans of Connecticut, and if again lchosen to be their standard bearer I Ishall accept their choice as call of duty. I am deeply grateful for and full Fly satisfied with the honors already en- ljoyed. With great regret, am, Very truly yours,
 A. CHAMBERLAIN.
