DOES HOT WANT A NOMINATION. lias no Desire to Re-enter the White House a Chief Executive Friends of Mc Klnley, Morton and Allison all Claim Harrison's Strength. IxniANAl-OMS, Keb. 4. Captain John K. Guwily, clmlrniwi ot tho Republican statu central cumin ttco, called on Oiiernl Harrison hut ovonlnir !y Invltn.tun, ami Iho ox-prosldent linndod him tha follow ing explanatory letter! "In view of the resolutions passed by tho stnto central committee nt Its recent lncetliif?, uud ot tho fact that dolegatoi to tho national Republican convention are soon to bo chosen In this statu, I havo con cluded that some statement from mo as to my wishes mid purposes should now bo mado to my Indiana .friends. Hitherto I hnvo declined to speak to tho public upon this matter, but scores of friends with whom I have talked and tunny scores more to whom I havu written wilt recognize in this expression tho substnueo of what I havo said to them. To everyone who has proposed to promote my nomination I linvo said, 'No.' Thoro nover has been nn hour sluco I left thu Whlto House thnt I havo felt u wish to return to It. "My Inillaua friends havo been most de voted and faithful, and I am their grateful debtor. The Republican party has twlco in national convention riven mo its in dorsement, and that Is enough. I think tho voters of our pnrty nro now entitled to havo a now name. For tho sentiment, groat or h'inall, that has been manifested for my nomination I am grateful, and of that wldo rcsp-ct and klndnoss breaking party linos which havo bacn shown mo in so mnuy ways, I am profoundly appre ciative. "I cannot consent that my name bo pre sented to or be used In tho St. Louts con vention, and must kindly nsk my friends to necept this ns a slncero and final expres sion upon tho subject." Whon General .Tohn C. Now was scon relative to tho letter of General Harrison ho said : "It takes General Harrison entirely out of consideration ns a candldato beforo tho St. Louis convention. General Harrison Is not nccustomcd to fight behind ills gulsos, and it would bo unjust to General Harrison to suspect that thero Is oirered nny hopo of rending between tho lines. Tho letter says what ho has said to mo and othors of his friends for a year. Wo had hoped that ho might bo induced to change his mind, but ho hns evidently mado up his mind, and his declaration should bo regarded us final." "Do you think General Hnrrlson will take n hand In tho selection of n candi date!" ' "I do not think ho will turn his hand over to forward tho chances of miiinnn. Ho undoubtedly has his preferences, but ho will not try to lnlluencotho vote" af any dolcgato." "For whom will thn voto of the Indlnna delegation probably bo cast?" "I think tint in tho great manufactur ing districts of tho stato tho sentiment will be for MoKlnley. In some parts of Indiana Senator Allison has a following that will probably mnko him homo dele gates. I do not take It that Speaker Ueed will develop much strength." "Will General Harrison bo In tho senate raco to succeed Voorhocs?" "I do not havo nn idea that ho will. GonenilHnrr'sou desires '.o get nwny from official Ufo and public notice. He wants to become a private eltlzen again in truth and lu fact." J. K. Gowdy, chairman of tho Republi can stnto central commlttco: "I think tho strength of, Indiana will go for tho most part tb McKlnloy, with somo following for-AIlison."- W. H. II. Miller, ox-attorney general, said thero was no doubt as to tho moaning of Mr. Harrison's letter. Tho letter meant Just what it snid, nnd It expressed what Mr. Harrison felt. cm:i:itiNO to othhk candidates. Friends of MuKlulny. Miirlniiaml Alllou All Claim Harrison's Strength. Cleveland, Feb. 4. Hon. M. A. Hannn wns shown tho Associated Press dispatch from Indianapolis nnuounclng tho with drawal of Goncral Hnrrlson from tho pros, ldcntlnl race, nnd was nskod what effect tho letter would havo on tho candidacy of McKlnloy. "I cannot hut regard tho withdrawal ot General Harrison in tho mo3t favorable light," said Mr. Hannn, "becauso of tho woll known strength of Governor McKln loy lu Indiana. Ho has long boon very popular among tho Bepubllcnns of that stato, and tho accessloiis ho will got thero will cortalnly bo a strong accession to his forces in the central west. Of course tho other eaudldatss aro likely to be repre sented in tho Indiana delegation, hut it Is my judgment that tho sontlment among tho Republicans of that stato is over whelmingly for MoKlnley. Now that General Harrison hns refused to permit tho tiso ot his name, much of the support that would havo been given to him will como to MoKlnley." Cincinnati, Feb. i. Somitor-olcct J. II. Korakcr, when informed of tho positive declination of ex-I'rosldont Hurrlson.snld: "I never thought Harrison whs a candl dato for tho nomination lu the ordinary sense of such a candidacy. I am surprised, however, that he sooius to debar himself from accepting the nomination should an emergency urlse in which ho might bo de sired by tha convention, I think his do mination strengthens Mr. MoKluloy's chances." Des Moines, Iowa, Feb. 4. The luttor of ox-l'rosldent Hnrrlson stating that he would not bo n candidate for renomlnatlon Is pleasant reading for Mr. Allison's friends. They believe that o largo part of Mr. Harrison's following will ultimately come to tho Iowa man. They claim It was tho voto of Iowa which turned the this in tho direction of Mr. Harrison iu 1SS3.
