land will not participate in the Columbian
exposition dedicatory exercises this week.
In letter received by the committee on
ceremonies from him Mr.. Cleveland de-
clined the invitation which the exposition

not wish to gain any political advantage

circumstance as that which keeps Presi-

the subject" read the letter, but cannot
allow myself to take political advantage of
the opportunity afforded in the sad sick
ness that keeps President Harrison away
