BLAlNE'S ATTITUDE.
The Premier Once More Discusse,
the Presidency.
ACCEPTANCE WOULD BE SUICIDE.

He Believes That III Inangurated
President He Would Not Live Out
His Term, and LIE Is Too Full
Or Happiness, He SAYS, 10 Throw
II Away.
PTTTsBURG, April e.--The Times this
morning prints the following from a
staff correspondent at Washington.
II any answer had been needed to the
anonymous story that Secretary Blaine
was complaining that he had been
tadgered and bounded by friends OF
President Harrison into writing his cele-
brated letter declining TO be a candidate
for president, Mr.. Blaine himself an
swered it yesterday. Nobody here pre-
tended to believe the story, save a few
of those who are so anxious to get some
strong name to use against the growing
strength Of Harrison that they are will
ing to put Mr.. Blaine forward in the at
titude of weak creature, without the
courage to Withstand pressure or the
manliness torabide the consequences Of
his own acts.
In the course of conversation with a
representative Of The Times and one of
the leading physicians of the country,
who has occasionally attended the sec
Rotary, the physician remarked:
II see some of the newspapers con.
tinue to connect your name with the
presidency, Mr.. Secretary
No Rest for the President.
Promptly rs one answers question
upon which he has done celebrating
Mr.. Blaine responded:
THE presidents Office is most labor
ious and exhausting one. He has nc
vice, no alternate, no substitute upon
whose shoulders he can share the re.
sponsibility. There is vice president
but our scheme of government does moi
permit him to assume the powers and
duties Of the president except in case Of
the death, removal, resignation or dis
ability Of the president. 1t does moi
contemplate the vice president as an
occasional acting president for a day OF
two, or week or two, when the mar
need rest and recreation.
He will Not Commit Suicide.
s.The presidency is an Office withou
l sleep. l am now 81 years old, and al
though you have told me. and believ,
that IN heart, lungs, kidneys and other
wise am free from organic disease, suf

of Il nomination and election to the pres

age, and with my temperament, ant
knowing what the effect OF a long life o

of perfect candor, and with an apparent
desire only to make himself detinitel,

Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Another week brings additional proof
Of actual improvement in business At
many points, while slaclxness At = few
is explained By causes obviously local
and temporary. Extreme low prices
for cotton still cause depression Ut the
south, and the production Of iron In ex-
cess Of the demand has caused the fail
ure Of one company and the closing Of
several furnaces. Spring brings the
usual revival IN building and demand
for materials, at some points larger than
usual. The money markets continue
abnndantly supplied and easy, with no
trace az the pressure often seen about
April /, and while ut most points the
demand Is only moderate, at some Of
importance increased demand Is re-
ported.
The reports from other cities are on
the whole favorable. At Boston there n
further Improvement, Western reports
are favorable, and southern better. The
boot and shoe trade Ii active, with de-
mand up to present capacity. Leather
Is in steady demand Mt full prices, and
| hides are more active and firmer. The
| clothing trade Is better, ard wool hrmer
on account of London prices. At Phil
ndelphia, the failure OF an iron house,
| following that Of the Lehigh company,
depresses that trade.
Increased sale or Wool.
Payments through clearing houses
outside OF New York are larger than
ever at this season. Railroad earnings
show q substantial increase over last
year. Sales OF wool at all principal
markets for the year thus far exceed
| last years, indicating larger manufac-
ture. Coal Is dull, but firm, sellers
gradually getting up to schedule
prices A better tone, with larger
| sales, Is seen In iron, for the output has
i been reduced 1900 tons weekly, and inn
/ proved demand Is seen for plate, gtruct
ural and sheet iron. Copper II dull
