Since my return to Paris from Southern Italy

single phrase of my letter Of January 25 from
Florence (which was decisive of everything had
the personal power to decide- has been treated by
many Of my most valued friends as not absolutely
conclusive in ultimate and possible contingencies.
On the other hand friends equally devoted and dis
interested have construed my letter as it should
be construeO to be an unconditional withholding
Of my name from the National Convention. They
have in consequence given their support to eminent
gentlemen who are candidates for the Chicago nom
nation,-some Of whom would not, am sure, have
consented to assume that position, II had desired
to represent the party in the Presidential contest

have always been candid with me. speak, there

misleading single among the millions who
have given their suffrages and their confidence
am not willing that even one of my faithful sup
porters in the past should think me capable Of pal

ing that tho Presidential nomination could by any
possible chance be offered to me, I could not ac-
cept It without leaving in the minds Of thousands
of these men the impression that had not been
free from indrecton, and therefore 1 could not ac-

Germs the prosperity of the present and of genera
tions yet to come Were it possible for every
voter of the Republic to see for himself the condi

Of Free Trade in the United States would not re-

two oceans. II may not be directly in our power
as phianthropsts to elevate the European laborer,
but it will be lasting stigma upon our statesman
ship II we permit the American laborer to be forced
down to the European level And in the end the
rewards Of labor everywhere will be advanced if
we steadily refuse to lower the standard at home.
