slarshalrs Decltnaiion-True Patriotism.
PITTsBURG, May 23d-Thomas Marshall
tonight made public bis letter Of declination
of the nomination for Congressman at large.
1t is an answer to o letter from George Lear,
Chairman of the Convention, which letter
precedes Mr.. Marshalrs answer. MIR. Lear
urges Mr.. Marshall to accept the nomination,
as being long stride forward in the direction
of the independence of politics. Mr.. Mar
shall says:
1t would have afforded me satisfaction to enforce
and maintain the propos ton that public trusts
should be administered in the same scrupuous
fidelity private trusts; that no diversion from
the original purpose should be permitted. 1t is a
mockery of common business sense to displace tried
and faithful public servants, in order to provide
places for hungry applicants who may prove as
worthless as they are voracious. NO sane
so acts in his private affairs
1t is equally repugnant to sound economy in the ad
minisration Of public interests, The use OF public
patronage to control or direct the people In their
choice OF candidates for office IS grave political
crime 1t subverts the principles OF representative
government, and tends to make the servant MASTER
to the common debasement Of the people. To have
aided in some degree in calling attention to these
vital questions Of the hour would have been my
duty as nominee. The great moral and political
ideas which called the Republican party into exist
encc have become embodied in the organic law of
the land II it is the mission Of the present party
organization to go forward in the spirit OF that
platform, it should succeed. II it fails to come up
to the full measure Of its purpose, it should perish
Mere party obligations set very lightly on my
shoulders. The call upon me for party service was
genuine surprise-one not likely TO be repeated in
lifetime. 1t was unsought, and should not be de-
clined without adequate and commanding reasons
Such exist in my case. Personal and private duties
in which the public take no interest, demand that
al zkoI hair fftlE
Therefore must decline the proffered position
