on Democratic Presidential
Nominee Today.
SEAGIRT, N. J., Aug. 2. -Governor
Wilson made positive announcement to
day that he would not resign the gov
ernorship of New Jersey during his cam
paign for the. presidency.
"Governor, have you definitely decided
as to whether you will resign the gov
ernorship 9" asked the newspaper men.
"No, I shall not resign,” was the reply.
It is understood that immediately after
the Boston convention the big leaders
in Democratic politics from all the big
states had a conference with the gov
ernor on this matter, and it was decided
to follow the precedent that President
Cleveland bad set.
In addition to this, Governor Wilson
has been besieged by his friends through
out the state of New Jersey urging him
not to resign so that a number of re
forms that the nominee has been advo
cating will not be left unfinished.
The governor expressed deep gratifi
cation today at the numerous letters
coming to him from the Champ Clark
league of California, pledging their sup
port and sending contributions. Upward
of 200 of these letters have reached Sea
girt up to date.
Governor Wilson had a comparatively
free day today. Senator Hoke Smith,
of Georgia; Senator Culberson, of Texas,
and Representative Clayton, of Alabama,
chairman of the house judiciary commit
tee, were expected at the "Little White
House."

INTO EYES OF MAN SHE
SAYS INSULTED HER
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.—Pretty seven
teen-year-old Myrtle Peebles, of Crys
tal "city, Mo., is charged with common
assault, following her visit to the of
fice of City Collector L. B. Larned,
when she accused him of insulting her,
and threw r< d pepper in his eyes.
Other warrants are for her mother, Mrs.
William Peebles, and her sweetheart,
Charles Nelson.
Larned, who both because of his
business connections and political
prominence is one of the best known
men in Jefferson county, indlgnatly
protested he was not guilty of insult
ing the girl.
The attack on Larned, who is 40
years old, married and the father of
two small children, occurred in his
office.
The girl, who is employed in a gen
eral mercantile store in Crystal City,
said Larned, after she refused to go to
St. Louis with him, asked her if she
would meet him when she quit work.
Mrs. Peebles said Larned at first de
nied he had made the alleged state
ments, and then he offered an apology,
the mother said. While he was speak
ing die girl dashed the pepper into his
eyes.
Larned, in asking for the warrants
against Mrs. Peebles, her daughter and
Nelson, denied he Insulted the girl or
had given her any cause for offense.
