THE FoREIGN NEws.-We publish portion
Of the news brought by the America, and would
alp much deeper into it did we not see it to
be altogether one-sided-the distorted news of
the mouarchical presses of London gloatiug
over the triumph of Kingly power, as they
are pleased to call the late proceedings in that
capital. We shall soon have additional and
fun news which we doubt not will be more
satisfactory. The steamer which was to leave
on the Goth ult., is now due.

manly, to his own permanent honor, and the

editors of the Richmond (Va.) Republican in
reply to some inquiries addressed to him by
them:
BATON ROUGE, La, April 20. 1913.
DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 10th inst,
which alludes to certain statements that have
recently been made in some of the papers at
the North, and which submits several inqui-
res for my consideration, has been received.
To your inquiries have respectfully to re-
ply:
First. That, if nominated by the Wing ma
tional convention, | shall not refuse acceptance,
provided am left free of all pledges, and per-
mtted to maintain the position of indepen-
dence of all parties in which the people and my
own sense of duty have placed me; otherwise,
shall refuse the nomination of any convention
or party.
Secondly. do not design to withdraw my
name if Mr.. Clay be the nominee of the Wing
National Convention; and, in this connexion,
beg permission to remark that the statements
which have been so positively made in some of
the Northern prints: to the effect s'that should
Mr.. Clay be the nominee of the Wing Nation
al Convention" | had stated ''that would not
suffer my name to be used" are not correct,
and have no foundation in an oral or written
remark of mine. 1T has not been my inten-
ton, at any moment, to change my position,
or 10 withdraw my name from the canvass,
whoever may be the nominee of the National
Convention, either ofthe Wing or Democratic
party,
Thirdly. have never stated TO any one
that was in favor of the tariff of 1916, of the
ub-Treasury, or that originated the war with
Mexico; nor, finally, that should. if elected,
select my Cabinet from both parties. Nosuchad-
mission or statements were made by me at any
time or to any person. Permit me, however
to add, that, should such high distinction be
conferred upon me as that of elevation to Exc
cutive office. the Constitution, in strict and
honest interpretion, and in the spiritand mode
in which it was acted upon by our earlier Pres
dents, would be my chief guide. In this l con
ceive to be all that is necessary in the way OF
pledges.
The election of another candidate would oc.
casion no notification to me, but to such re-
suit, as the will of the people, should will
lingIy and calmly submit As ] have had nc
ambition to serve but in the deaire to serve
the country, it would bring to me no disap-
pointment.
With sentiments of high respect and regard,
remain your most obedient servant,
Z. TAYLOR.
