PGlnt With the PRESIDENT, Dut those
Who enjoy his friendship and conf
dsnce although disclaiming any right
e. speak to him, appear to be Of
Bis opinion that there is a founda-
sisn for the story which comes from

Emitted States Senate. He stood
aside in order that Garfield might be
slected without opposition in his
Tgsty when by making a contest his
auabition might have been gratified,
and his relations with Senator Sher-
,nan..are such that he would under no
circumstances antagonize that gen
xgsNan's retutn to the Senate, but

bge for this or any other office, and
I Sa@w that he has nothing but the

asking the support of the party for
Any honor at its disposal.
