My ternvis ex. piring and my re-elction to the senate is reasonably certain in • view of the services I have been able to render. Some equally competent democrat can e-isily be found.for the exalted office to which you would elevate me, whose selection would involve no sacrifiice for the party as would entailed by my nomination. “ Deply grateful for the esteem manifested in the acHumation that attended the adjournment of the last session, l am reluct antly forced to advise you fit at I cannot accept the nomination yet to be made by the convention.
