Blaine Would Not Accept.

If any answer had been needed to the
anonymous story that Secretary Blame
was complain ing that he had been badger
ed and bounded by friends Of President Har-
rison into writing his celebrated letter de-
clining to be candidate for President, Mr..
Blaine himself answered it. Nobody pre-
tended to believe the story, save few OF
those who are so anxious to get some
strong name to use against the growing
strength of Harrison that they are willing
to put Mr.. Blaine forward in the attitude
of weak creature, without the courage To
withstand pressure, or the manliness to
abide the consequences of his own acts.
In the course of conversation with one
of the leading physicians of the country,
who had occasionally attended the
Secretary, the physician remarked;
~ see some of the newspapers continue
to connect your name with the Presidency,
Mr.. Secretary"
Promptly, as one answers question up
on which he has done deliberating. Mr..
Blaine responded:
"rhe Presidents Office is most labor
ious and exhausting one. He has no Vice,
no alternate, no substitute upon whose
shoulders he can share responsibility.
There is Vice President, but our scheme
OF government does not permit him to as
sumo the powers and duties of the Presi-
dent, except in case of death, removal, res
ignation or disability of the President 1t
does not contemplate the Vice President
as an occasional acting President for
day or two, or week or two, when the
man who has been elected to that office
may need rest and recreation.
"The Presidency is an office without
sleep. l am now 62 years old, and
although you have told me and believe thas
in heart, lungs, kidneys and otherwise l
am free from organic disease, suffering
only from torpidity of the liver, do not
believe that if / was to be uauguIated
President to. morrow would live out my
term | find life TOO full Of congeulsl
work aud too full of happiness TO feel call
ed upon to or inclined TO throw IT away.
If was assured, therefore, of snomination
and election to the Presidency, ] would
not accept It, At my age, aud with my
temperament, and knowing what the effect
of long life of exhsusting labor has been
upon my vitality, it would be constructive
suicide"
