New YORK, Nov. 14.---The Hon. Abram
s. Hewitt arrived home from Europe yes
terday. 1t was suggested TO him in the
course of an interview that his name had
been mentioned in connection with the
presidency, AMI to this Mr.. Hewitt replied:
''Under no circumstances that required N Y
cooperation would L accept the nomina-
ton. L don't want to be president; I
don't want to strive or seem to strive for n
rost that should be filed by a mar who
can look over and beyond the mere
distribution of spoils and who
can grasp the fact that our
form of government is the prototype for
the worlds future governments. Still, as
it is said it is the duty of every citizen Of
a country like ours to do what he can to
perpetuate its institutions, and though 1
have been subjected to Misrepresentation
and lngratitude and went on this voyage
with firm determination to abandon pub
lie life, came back SO impressed with the
duty l owe my country that am prepared
to do the duty that citizen should be OK
pected to do"
'You cay that you have been subjected
to Misrepresentation and ingratitude."
eyes, when Mr.. Tilden had no one to de-
fend him, did. 1 was compelled to do it
or have it left undone, and every one
knows how we'll I did it. Yet since my
return have been informed that on an
occasion when great deal was at stake to
the Democracy of this state and conse-
quently to the country to harmonic mat
tiers, my name was mentioned and Mr..
Tilden was assured that could carry New
York. He replied: "We don't want
Hewitt" Where the candidate for prssi-
dent comes from l care not SO
that he be man such as /
have described. Now what ridiculous
and childish thing it is to mention such
cheese-parer as Holman man whose sole
aim is money-in connection with the high
Office OF president. The Sun seems to have
the boom all to itself and it keeps it up.
/ well understand the reason of it. The
Sun is holding up Holman's name because
the Sun is afraid Of Mcdonald, and he is
man the Sun doesn't want. There are
other reasons, too, that will be made ap-
percent before the nomination is made.''
Mr.. Hewitt was asked: "Are you willing
to make known your preference for speak
err of thu house of representatives.
.'Yes, have no objection to saying that
1 favor Mr. Cox and shall vote for him.
If it becomes apparent that Mr.. Cox can
not be elected 1 shall then advise Mr.. Cox
and his friends to vote for Mr.. Carlisle.

opposed to Mr.. Randall. On the con-
trary, l entertain sincere admiration for
Mr. Randall. I like and respect him.
But 1 DO not favor his course on the tariff.
He was opposed to revenue reform--to
sweeping away the inIquities and Unequal
tiles of the present tariff. Therefore
