HE DOESN'T WANT IT
Harrison is Not a Candidate For
the Presidency.
He Has No Longer Any Personal Long
ing for the Presidential
Nomination.

NEW 1ORki may ZO.-A story was
printed yesterday afternoon to the ef
feet that Whilelaw Reid had scheme
under way to reorganize the "Big
Four" in state politics, to run for Gov
ernor himself, and before doing this to
down Tom Platt. 1T is also asserted
that he had approached Warner Mil
Ter and Chauncey Depew with his
plan. When Mr.. Reid was found to-
day and asked what he had to say
about it he denied the entire story in
d. tail and altogether. He said: at
is not true that Mr.. Platt ever offered
me share OF patronage. My rule for
over 25 years has been to preserve my
eli orial independence by not asking
office for any ybody, and by refusing to
in others to sign recommendations
roffice."
Mr. Reid said he saw President
Harrison the night before the latter
left ior the West, and he does not
hiuk that Mr.. Harrison is a candidate
for any sort.
"Did Mr.. Harrison say anything to
you about the nomination.. was
asked.
"That / can't answer. He is able
AID likely to
SPEAK FOR HIMSELF
whenever he may think 1t suitable. He
d 4 his best to serve his country faith
iulIy aud wisely, and he can't help
tnowing that when he went out be
tn.k with him the respect Of his
countrymen. and that their apprecia-
tion OF him and bis work has grown
steadily ever since. | believe he il
fully satisfied with that and is entirely
c intent now to enjoy private life."
"Do you mean to say, then, that be
would not accept another nomina-
tion?'
Il can not say that, for l do NO
know, but he is the only native male
citizen OF the United States above q
years OF age, who could say such {
thing without making himself su
premely ridiculous. The Presidency
is not thing any man can say HI
would not have, unless it be the mar
that has had it. But he long ago go
over any personal
DESIRE FOR MORE or IT.
He said as much to me in the heigh
Of the last campaign, and | know tina
he feels the same way now"
"How can such feeling be posi-
ble"
"Put yourself in his place, and
think you can reason it out. He ha
held what we Americans think tn
highest official position in the world
and has made a success Of it--a sue
cess which has been emphasized b,
what has happened since. Now,wha
Fmore could he do il he were to sscr
fee comfort and go through fou
years more OF hard labor in the Whit
House2"
"You think then that he is not no.
working for renomination?'
81 feel sure OF it, and feel sure ths
he has encouraged nobody to work fc
him. l am entirely confident OF b
sincerity in the personal feeling
have described. Suppose Mr.. Clev'
land had looked at things in a simila
way two years ago, don't you believ

A New Registration Needed.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:


The next regular election In virginia
will occur in November when congress
men will be chosen. IL is known that the
registration books are much numbered
with names of parties who are either
dead or have removed their residence
from this city.
In one precinct OF Madison Ward.
where $50 are listed as voters. the poll
cast hardly ever exceeds 800 In another
precinct Of the same ward 400 are listed
and the vote Is always from 60 to 100
this last number when great interest is
manifested.
The Australian system OF voting VIII
be introduced TO the Virginia public for
the first time in November great
many think the event mentioned should
be preceded by a new registration. IL
would better enable people interested In
election matters to make correct COM
parsons between the system now In
srticulo mortis and that which will soon
be "a thing OF life even " not IA
Joy forever" new registration might
avoid the trouble Of having some OF the
precincts divided as has been proposed
The cost of the same would be COM
paratiyely insignificant.
II is believed that a majority Of the
Electoral Board Of this city are in favor
Of , new registration GEORGE
