COL. PATTON DECLINES A RENOMINATION.

Rochester Sentinel: The following letter from Congressman Patton, in whioh he declines the re-nomi-nation which was universally oonoeded to him, by democrats of the lOthdistriot will be a surprise to the gallant Colonel's host of friends in every county in the district: RnunmTON. Ind., June 29, '92, H. A. Barnhart, Chm’n 10th Congressional District, . Roehester, Ind. My Dias Sib: On my visit home 1 And I nave either to make an entire change in my business affairs, which would disarrange all of my f lans for the future, or surrender any poitical ambitions that I may have entertained. I have,* therefore, decided upon the latter oourse. In doing this, I am not unmindful of the kind consideration and ihe honor oon» ferred upon me by the unanimoua support of eur party and the generous assist, anoe of many friends not of ourpolitioal faith; and the further faot that I hove every assurance of a continuance of their support, for all of vhich I wish to thank you and them in terms which I have not anguage to express. I am well satisfied that there are others in this Congressional District who Are much better qualified to represent our deserving peorle in Congress than I and I trust and believe that such a man will be selected as the candidate, whem I fully believe enn and will be elected, and to that end I shall labor with earnest zeal. I therefore withdraw my name from further confideratlon with relation to the nomination at youroom ng Congressional convention. Very Respectfully, D. H. Patton. The withdrawal of Dr. Patton from the raoe will open the field to Congressional aspirants and the Fulton county delegation will present the name of Hod. Valentine Zimmerman, of this city, who will make an active canvass for the nomination. Mr. Zimmerman has hosts of frien s throughont the district who believe that the nomination whioh went to Dr. Patton two years ago justly belonged to him because of bis thorough oanvass of the district two years before and rednotlonof the republican majority nearly twelve hundred votes.! (However, Mr. Zimmerman will ask the nomination on the grounds of what be OAN no for the party as well as what he has bone". No man in the district is in closer touch with the masses of the people ~f his county than is Ur. Zimmerman with those of Pulton where he has livod for a quarter of a century. His record as a legislator while a member of the State Senate Is conclusive evidence of hit ability to secure favorable legist tionfor his constituency and if sent to congress the 10th district will have a tireless worker as their Representative, and one who is always found upon the right side of all publieq nestions, Doth local and general. In addition to Mr. Zimmerman’s candidacythe names of Jndge Bnrson, of Winamao, and C. J. Kern, of Valparaiso, are mentioned, although neither have signified any formal intentions of entering the race. The date of the convention hag net yet been definitely fixed although Thnrsdey. July 28th, will likely be agreed upon and the place of meeting either Crown Point, Delphi oi Lpgansport.

Patton not to be a candidate for re-election to Gongiess; He has proved faithful to the trnst reposed in him, and his ra-nomination would have been followed by his re-eleotion with an increased majority.
