JUDGE 0OFF DECLINES.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 20.-Judgo Nathan Gofr
Of West Virginia has declined the tender Of the
Attorney q Geperalship. He finds that he cannot
become member of President McKinley's Cab
met. This conclusion was reached by Judge
GofY within the past two days. To-day his
friends In this city were notified Of his fnal
decision.
1t has been very hard for Judge Gor to make
up his mind. and he told Major Mckinley so
whom he visited him at Canton last week to talk
over the offer to enter the Cabinet. It has been
tho ambition Of his life to bo . United States
Senator. He was shelved on the United States
Circuit Court bench when Mr.. Elkins was
chosen Senator two years ago. and now be
wants to succeed Senator Faulkner In 1900.
Major Mckinley told Judge 0of that IL he
entered tho Cabinet he would be expected to re-
main until the expiration of his term as Presi-
dent. To do that meant the surrender OF Judge
9off's Senatorial ambitions, so when he left
Canton he was undecided, and only Yesterday
he mailed his deolination to Major Mckinley.
His friends here know now that he is candl-
date for the Senate.
. The recognition promised the South must now
no to some Republican In Maryland. Kentucky.
or Tennessee. Maryland has no candidate for
Attorney General, and this may throw the
scales In favor of Kentucky or Tennessee.
