Hon. WIN. NJ. Kincaid, Chairman;
Hon. w. w. Beall, Hon. Louis Ben.
nett, Hon. w. Scott, Committee Of
Notification.
GENTLEMEN =
In reply to your favor, advising me
OF my nomination for Congress at the
hands OF the democratic party OF the
First Congressional district, which
reached Clarksburg in my absence. 1t Is
with mingled feeling ofgratitude and
regret that write to say that it will
be impossible for me to accept the
honor so handsomely rendered me.
have the most profound appreciation
OF the trust and confidence repoSed
in me BY my Democratic friends, and
desire through your committee 10
thank the delegates TO your conven-
ton. for their compliment, as well as
the people and press Of the district
for their very generous support which
has been pledged to me. l decline the
nomination reluctantly, since it makes
OF no avail to me the kind and earnest
efforts OF friends in my behalf, but in
Justice 10 myself l must say that from
the time when my name was first men,
toned in this connection, | have frank
~ declared to all my friends who ap.
preached me in regard lit, that mat
tiers Of business nature demanding
all my time and involving not my in
terests alone. but those OF others as
sociated with and relying upon me;
would render it impossible for me to
become candidate, however much l
would like To serve my party.
II is no false assumption OF modesty
on my part which leads me TO add that
1 am confident the Democrats of tine
district can easily find in their ranks
other gentlemen much better able
than to serve them in this capacity,
and in this campaign as heretofore L
shall continue to give my best efforts
and cooperation to the success OF the
Democratic ticket.
With great respect, l remain,
Very truly yours,
T. NJ. JACKSON.
