Harrison will Refuse to Allow Ills Name
tn he Presented to the Republican Ma
tionsI Convention for denomination.
CHICAGO, Aug. l6.-A special 20 the
Herald from Cape May. N J.. says:
President Harrison will, before the
meeting of the republican national
convention of 1892. declare over his own
signature in the most emphatic maner
that he is not candidate for the NOM
ination TO be made by that convention.
The president decided upon this course
within the last two weeks This is
supposed to be the cause of his
calling hither Clarkson of the
national committee aud Stephen II.
Elkins. to tell them that they might
inform those republicans who are TAX
ing sides either for or against the re-
nomination of the president that they
are doing so unnecessarily. The deci-
sion of the president not to permit his
name to go before the convention was
made with some reservations. These
reservations depend upon three condi-
tions: First, il the present bitter
opposition within the republican
party to Mr.. Harrison's renomi-
nation shall continue till next
spring he will withdraw; sec
ond. IL Mr.. Blaine shall be well and
strong enough TO take the nomination
and the party's demand for him contin-
ues As strong and sincere as IL 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
veracity. Mr.. Blaine knows that the
president occupies his position Mr..
ClarIxson. 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
