SENATOR CATTELL, in his letter declining to
be a candidate Tor reelection to the United
States Senate from New Jersey, gives As the
reason FOR the decision that since his return to
Washington a slight relapse from what seemed
re-established health has constrained him to
doubt whether he can return b discharge all
the duties and responsibilities of the position of
Senator any longer than his present term with
entire jusuce 10 the republican party of New
Jersey, or with safety to business. The Newark
II e-ume man of the most active business
-6its, gave himself up to the duties of his high
cfh,e with an intense and untiring devotion
which he's broken his strength. More tn IN a
year ago he found himself compelled to with
draw from active duty, only visiting the Capt.
tol when important votes were to be taken.
During the recess he got better, but at the first
ln'imation that his recovery is not perfect, he
refuses TO allow himselfto become the possibly
int ficient servant Of the State

company during the examination. A telegram
has been sent to Mr.. Suit 10 appear before the

formed, AID the work upon the new building is
