w DdluOS.
To this Judge Stayton replied that
the subject had given him much con-
Germ, as, contrary to his oft repeated
desire, he could not close his eyes TO
the fact that it was the wish OF many
friends that he should become can
didate for congress in the seventh dls-
trict. He realized the right OF the
people to have the services OF any
citizen, and 1t had been a difficult
thing to determine his duty in the
premises. The people of the seventh
district had bestowed many kind
nesSes upon him, and, were he not
already in the service of the state,
he should deem it his duty to Sink
his own personal desires and prefer
ences, and accept nomination
for congress II rendered
by the people. Having accepted
another position at the hands OF the
people, he felt that he was under an
implied obligation to hold that ONCE
and discharge its duties to the best oil
his ability. He had not encouraged
the association of his name with the
nomination, but had said frankly That
ii he could see clearly that his ser
vices were essential to the welfare OF
the district he might possibly consent
to become candidate, at the same
time requesting that his name be not
urged before the people. He had
never believed the services OF any
one man to be essential TO
the welfare of the seventh district.
There were those who could do more
effectual service in congress than he.
He regretted that his name had been
l.. ant ut
thanks to those unselfish friends who
had SO complimented him: He felt it
his duty to the people and himself to
state that he could not accept nom
nation for congress, in order that his
candidacy might not be expected, and
that others who might be willing TO
accept the place might be entirely un-
embarrassed. He closed by thanking
the members Of the bar for their kind
expressions of confidence and es-
tapm
