Mr.. HARRISON May WITHDRAW.

Under Certain Conditions He viii Not II A
Said, BE Presidential Candidate.
A special to the Chicago Herald from Cape
May. y. J., says:
President Harrison will, before the meeting of
the republican national convention Of 1891, de-
clare over his own signature in the most tic
manner that he is not candidate for the
nomination to be made by that convention. The
PRESIDENT decided upon this course within the
last TWO weeks, and his purpose in calling
hither few days ago Chairman Clarkson
OF tine national committee and Stephen b.
Elkins was to tell those gentlemen that thew
might inform those republicans who are taking
eides either for or against the denomination of
the President that they are doing so unneces-
sariiy. The decision Of the President not to
permit bis name to 60 before the convention
was made with some reservations
These reservations depend upon three condi-
tlons. First. If the present bitter opposition
within the republican party to Mr.. Harrison's
denomination shall continue till next
spring he will withdraw; second, if
Mr. Blaine shall be well and strong
enough take the nomination and the party 3
demand for him continues as Strong
ana sincere as it appears at the present time
Mr. Harrison will withdraw; third, if Mr.
Blaine, having sufficient health and strength,
shall be willing to take the nomination. Mr..
Harrison will withdraw
The information that the President has
reached this decision is from a source not to
be questioned as to its accuracy and trust
worthiness. Mr.. Blaine knows that the Presi-
dent occupies this position. Mr.. Clarkson, Mr.
Elkins, Mr. Quay and Mr.. Platt know it, Mr..
quay has been advised not to force his Blaine
boom in Pennsylvania and he has called halt
The Harrison Blaine program, which all the
bosses have been given a chance to fall in with
is that no movement shall he instituted for
presidential aspirant, neither for the Presi-
dent, nor for Mr.. Blaine, nor for any other
man, II it can be prevented. The party, with
out manipulation or reorganized efforts to in
nuence it, is to be permitted to make its own
choice for the presidency.
