tBr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.

Boston, May Ex-Governor William L. Doug
las announced to-day that in no circums tances
would he be a candidate for denomination The
Governors determination announced
through a letter to John J. F1aherty, chairman
of the Democratic State Central Committee, of
Gloucester. The letter says:
In order that the coming campaign of our
party in this State may be facilitated, deem It
my duty to inform you that I shall not again
be a candidate for the nomination of Governor
This decision has been reached after careful
consideration, and feel that in justice to my
self I must be allowed TO retire at the close of
the present term I have no taste for office
holding, much preferring my business and quiet
home life to the constant strain incident to
public responsibilities
Last fall, when there seemed little probability
of success for ticket, l consented to the
of my candidate for the office Of
Governor. On a tariff reform and reciprocity
platform I made the canvass for my party and
triumphed at the polls.
Since my Inauguration as Governor I have
earnestly endeavored to serve the interests of
the whole people, and 1 shall continue to do so
until the end Of my term.

Conservative Element to Oppose
Putting Politicians IN Office.

The annual meeting of the Catholic Club on
June 16, for the election of officers promises to
be the livelest contest that club has had since
its organization. The contest is over the board
of managers, which controls the club.
Clergymen and laymen, members of the club
since its infancy, say that within the last year
strong political clique has been organized in the
club. This has been discussed in Catholic cir
cles for some time and has caused alarm to the
more conservative element The conservative
element aims to keep off the board men who
are more or less prominent In politics.
1t a surprise to not few Catholics of
note when the clubs nominating committee
failed to renominate Justice Leonard A. Gieg-
erich to succeed himself president. but it
was learned yesterday that Justice Giegerich
was unwilling to serve another term. There
was no dispute about this office and both fac
tions have headed their tickets with DR.. Francis
]. Quinlan. It is said that efforts will be made
TO defeat Corporation Counsel Delany and DAN
lei F. Cohalan as members of the board of man
ayers Since Tammany Hall came into power
many of the Wigwam's members have got
into the club, against, it is hinted. the wishes
of the conservative element, which wished to
keep the club just bit exclusive

Says Negro Spit In Face.
From Baltimore sun of September Is

From BdftlTnore sun OF september To-
Harry Turner colored, 5ll West Preston
street, was fined S25 and costs by Justice Poe,
at the Eastern Police Station, yesterday morn
ing on the charge of splitting in the face OF
Miss Lola Barnes, S02 Willow street, and was
committed to Jail in default.
The assault is said to have occurred without
the slightest provocation, and had it not been
for the prompt arrival of an officer the negro
might have been roughly handled by the
crowd that soon gathered.
According to the testimony at the hearing,
Miss Barnes was standing on the corner OF
Caroline and Cough streets Saturday night
talking TO companion, when the negro
passed by them in surly manner and smiled
at Miss Barnes. She turned her back on him
and the negro proceeded on.
After leaving her companion Miss Barnes
started TO walk to Pratt street to take car,
when she was spoken to by the negro, it was
stated who, without warning, spit in her face.
She screamed for help and Patrolman Jetfres,
who was near by arrested the negro. A score
of men. who had been attracted by the cries
of Miss Barnes, rushed to her assistance, and
when they learned of the occurrence several
of them wanted to get their hands ON Turner,
but the officer prevented them from doing him
bodily harm by hurrying him to the police
station.
He could offer no excuse to the magistrate,
but said that he had taken several drinks too
many and did not know what he was doing.
He said it was the first time that he had ever
been arrested.
