HARRISON'S DESIRE
Above All Things on Earth He
Wants a denomination.
He May be Compelled to Withdraw From the
Race on Account os His Silver Views
-McKtnley's Chances.

Especial to THE HERALD-Exarniner Dispatch
New YORK, June ga Herald Washing
ton special says: Is President Harrison
liable to withdraw from the presidential
race, Ask this question o: a score of Re-
publican politicians and they would I'M
hesitatingly chorus, mo" They know
the President desires a denomination more
than he desires anything on earth, and
they cannot conceive any contingency that
might make his withdrawal probable, and
yet this contingency exists. 1t is the pas
sage of free coinage bill which the Presi-
dent would feel obliged to veto. He is
reasonably firm in his purpose to veto bill
for unrestricted free coinage, but he
feels that such veto might compel him to
decline denomination. If he should with
draw under such circumstances the party
would still be able to nominate an op-
ponent of ABSOLUTE free coinage, provided
his opposition was not plainly declared.
Major Mckinley, who voted for the Bland
bill and for the silver measure of last
summer, would be good candidate Of this
sort, or perhaps Senator Allison or General
Alger; even Secretary Blaine would be
able to conceal his views sufficiently to
keep the silver men in line. He talked to
the Boston delegation which was here last
winter TO oppose free coinage, as though he
was in entire sympathy with their purpose,
but he has always been fsvorite of the west
and trimmer on the silver question. The
loss Of the state of Indiana is almost GER
tain if the President votes free coinage
bill. Republican chances in Indiana have
always been desperate, and there is q large
element for free coinage in the Republican
ranks. The President has done nothing to
add to his popularity there. and the recent
meeting Of nti-Harrison Republicans is
but symptom of the prevailing discon-
tent. Well informed politicians say that il
there is q shadow Of chance for defeating
the President in the Republican national
convention, he will not have dozen of the
thirty delegates from Indiana. Colonel
Dudley is still q power among the Repub-
tcan workers Of Indiana, aud if he went to
the national convention leading two thirds
Of the Indiana delegation for Blaine and
free silver, he would give the Presidents
friends q heap Of trouble.
