WAsHINGToE. December 2G. 1884.
Mr.. +. II. McCaull announced here
publicly to-day that he woud not con-
test The right to Congressman Meredi-h's
seat in the next Congress. Tie says he
is satisfied that he was the choice Of
the people OF the Eighth congressional dis
trict in the recent election, but the i'm
possibility Of conducting a fair election
under the Walton law. as at present con
sttuted is plainly manifest all over the
state but especially in the Eighth dis
trict. II believe" said he, that l was
fairly elected, but I will not make con-
test, preferring to leave the matter IN
the hands of the people and TO await
their verdict IN 1896.
