Deor Sir: | have just seen the aIticle in
the Free Press of Tuesday in respect of my
being appointed delegate to our National
Convention at Chicago in june next. thank
you sincerely for your kind words aud wishes
and gratefully appreciate the kind feeling
of various citizens Of Vermont who have by
letters and otherwise manifested a desire that
| should 20 to the convention as one of the
delegates from our steaiiast Republican
State. But must ask yon all to excuse me
from that service. ! have been long under
the impression that our State should in gen
eral. be represented at the National Conven-
ton by such of our citizens rs are not in
Congress, and | have on former occasions;
accordingly, requested that | should not be
proposed or appointed as a delegate Be
sides this, it is morally certain that Congress
will he sitting in June and will be under
urgent stress of accumulated business, de
handing all the strength and attention can
command There are also other considera-
tons that need not he mentioned and which
are personal. | feel, therefore, that I must
decline to have my name considered in any
manner in this connection

Very truly YOURS

GEoRGK +. EpMt >ps.
The Hon. G.. q. BENtrIor, Burlington. Vt.
The most mature reelection brings us to
the conclusion that the views thus ex-
pressed adverse to the election of Inited
States senators delegates to Presidential
convention, are just and wise. II is mani
fest that the statesmen who framed the
constitution of the t'utcd States intended
that the Senate should be- a body entirely
separate from. and independent Of the
Executive. andas such should have no voice
In his election. 1t is plain that it was
never designed that the American Senate
should be of the Venetian type 1t is ad-
United that the present Republican mem
bers of that body are men of wisdom and
patriotism. They have grave. perple king,
and multifarious duties imposed on them
at Washington. There are many other
citizens not pressed with official work.
who are Just as competent to represent
the Republican masses at the Chicago con-
party policy, to divide the political honors.
Besides, it is especially important that the
delegates to the Republican National Con-
vention should be chosen fresh from the
people. and that they should go to thicago
governed by the firm and honest purpose
to select the candidate, who, after due in
vestigation, shall appear to be the unmis-
taxable choice of the Republican millions
who are to elect the President in November.
