SHERIDAN rLATLr REFUSES.
He Is Not Presidential Candidate and
Would Not Accept q Nomination.

Would Not Accept q Nomination.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Washing
ton agent Of the Associated Press sought
an interview with Gen. Sheridan this even
ing for the purpose Of ascertaining whether
he would consent to make an authoritative
statement in regard to his alleged presi-
dental candidacy.
The general gave his consent, and Ii will
be seen from the following verbatim report
Of the conversation that his declarations
are thoroughly explicit:
Agent-Of course, general, you have
noticed that there has been considerable
mention Of you during the past.few weeks
as q possible or probable candidate for the
presidency next autumn.
Gen. Sheridan--Yes, have noticed II,
but have never looked upon those news
paper articles as anything more than the
usual shooting around in the woods, which
has once or twice before in presidential
years brought my name up in that con-
nection.
"But, general, the talk is more serious
this time, and there appears TO be some
thing like concerted movement to bring
about your nomination"
Gen. Sheridan Well, know nothing
more about this alleged Gloom" than what
have read in the papers, except that now
and then sope friend has twitted me about
becoming candidate. But II the matter
is now discussed seriously, IL is time that
all parties concerned should be informed
that they are wasting their breath. have
never had the presidential bee In my
bonnet, and | don't intend to have, for
there is nothing that would induce me to
leave the profession in which nearly forty
years Of my life have been spent, TO enter
upon a civil career. So all talk about my
being candidate may as well end.
"But suppose the Republican convention
should"
Gen. Sheridan-Nominate me? would
not accept. But there is not the slightest
possibility OF my being nominated, and, in
any event, would not accept. No, not
under any circumstances. do not want
that or any other civil office.
