Doesn,t Apprecin,e the Hopor

ERIE, Pa, Sept l9.-The announcement is
made by authority that Hon. James P. Burns is
not only likely to decline the empty honor of his
recent nomination to succeed Congressman W.
l.. Scott, but that he denies having encouraged
the Erie county conferees to believe that ha
would accept it. Mr.. Burns says he is poor and
needs his present income or its equivalent; that
if he enters the canvass he will have to resign
his position as one Of the faculty of the high
school, and that he is quite likely to be beaten
in the political venture. He did not attend the
ratification meeting held on the evening follow
ing the nomination, and thus far the politicians
have failed to persuade him TO accept.
