Dr. Paitott Declines.

Rochester RepvblicaiL. Congressman D. H. Patton, in a letter to Mn H. A. Barnhart,, the committeeman for this congressional district, decanes to accept the nomination for congressiDnal honors, and says: I am well satisfied that there are others in this Congressional District who are much better quedifiedto represent our deserving people in Congress than. I, and L trust and believe that such a man will be selected; This ie the best evidence that the doctor knows more than the people gave him credit for—he knows when he has enoughs And then, too, he knows that he does not possess the requisite ability for the position he occupies, and therefore he says “there are others in the Congressional District who are much better qualified to represent our deserving people.” HjsJetter is full of l’s but the Ps have it, and he will not consent to playing the part of a back number in the Nationrl legislature for a second term, and he realizes furthermore that this year the Democrats are not in it. The Sentinel also informs its readers that tbe Hon. Valentine Zimmerman, who was slaughtered in the house of his friends when the election of a Democrat in this congressional district was possible, “will make an active canvass for the nomination.”
