Fully appreciating the honor the appointment would confer, and grateful for? the compliment paid me by the distinguished gentlemen who rec ommended my appointment, I am con strained to decline to become a candi date for the position. In reaching this conclusion, I have not been unmindful of the fact that citizenship imposes the duties of public service when required, but the condition of my health demands n early relaxation from severe applica tion, and I feel that it would be unwise to become a candidate for a position which, if obtained, would require me to devote the remainder of my life to the exacting duties of a responsible office. Will you kindly cause this determina tion on my part, together with my sin cere regards, to be communicated to the president." The Oreqonian correspondent sought an interview with Senator Dolph to as certain the cause of his declination. The senator said that his brother had never been an applicant for the judgeship ; that March 1 last, in answer to a telegram from him concerning the judgeship his brother had telegraphed him as' follows : "I am very grateful to you, but would have to decline if tenderd the position. If I felt equal to it it would be the height of my ambition." .The 15th of March his brother wrote him at length, and among other things said: "The position is beyond the reach of most men, and might' tempt any man, but I feel that after all my conclusion was a wise one.
