MIR. ManIey Withdraws.

Hon. Joseph II. Manley, prominent
candidate for the Republican nomination
2 for governor of Maine, announces his
withdrawal from the contest in letter
TO the Kennebec Journal of Tuesday.
Mr. Manley says: Although have re-
covered from my recent illness sufficient
ly TO have attended to my private bust
ness matters for some time past, my re-
turn of strength has not been full and
complete, and my physician now advises
it to be unwise for me TO again take my
former active part in political affairs.
For this reason | must retire from my
candidacy for the Governorship and l
cannot accept a reelection to the Re-
publican national committee"
All friends of Mr.. Manley-and they
are not confined TO the Republican party
by any means-are sorry for his condi-
ton of health which has made this step
necessary, and trust that he will fully re-
gain his former condition.
Politically Mr. Manley has been an
active and Jealous worker in the Repub-
lican organization, being for years a
member of the National Committee and
chairman of the State Committee. For
more than twenty-five years he has given
the party his best service, and the
efficiency of that service can be well at
tested by his political opponents as well
as his associates. Few men have WELD
ed so much influence in the state.
Mr.. Manley has been a leading candi-
date in the contest for the gubernatorial
nomination. What the effect of his
withdrawal will be can not be stated
definitely, though it seems to be taken
for granted by some. At any rate, it
seems not likely 10 terminate the con-
test, which promises 10 be kept up by
the other candidates until the conyen-
ton meets. For the good of the party
and the whole state as well-the livelier
the contest the better. Since 1888 the
Republican state conventions have been
the embodiment of harmony" A good
waking up and shaking up will be one of
the best things that can happen.
