Physically Disabled.

New YORK, Feb. S.-The Press this
morning has an article signed by Carson
Lake in which he says: Secretary
Blaine will not be candidate for the
Republican presidential nomination,
have the highest authority, next to Mr.
Blaine himself, for making the state
ment. This decision of Mr.. Blaine is
the result of his belief that his health,
though now good, will not bear the
great strain of a canvass for the presi-
dency and the subsequent duties Of the
presidential Office. He knows that the
nomination of his party is at his com
mand, and that even President Harrison
would not contest with him against the
overwhelming sentiment in his favor
that pervades the Republican party in
every state i'll the Union, but he realizes
his physical condition to be unequal t.
the task OF canvassing the two states OF
New York and Indiana, one Of which
the Republicans must carry to win the
presidential election.
