Philadelphia Press. Some pretty big men have declined lie nomination for vice president, and ionre of them when an election was 'casonably assured. When Madison vas nominated for a second term the aliens by which the nomination was nade?it was before the day of 11aional conventions?selected John jandgon, then a Senator from New Tampsliire, for vice president and he leclined. New York itself can produce 1 conspicuous precedent. Silas Wright, hen a senator from that State, was lominated for vice president on the ickel with .Tames K. Polk in 1S-I1, and le declined in resentment of the de'eat of Van TJuren for tire presidential nomination. He was the same yea persuaded to run for governor of Ne\ York, but that practically ended hi political career, Benjamin Fitscpatrick i senator from Alabama, declined th lomination for vice president on th Douglas ticket in 18(50. There have been other simWa uses, but these are enough to shov hat the nominal ion can be declined md many persons suspec' that Gov [fujihes is just the person to declim t it' he says he will.
