GENERAL HARRISON
We spoke about any number of other mat
ters, but the presidency was never mem
toned. I took care not TO breach the sub
iect General Harrison said nothing to
me about the presidency"
The following is the story sent from
Old Forge alleging that General Harrison
had declared himself not in the race:
The Report Poole Denies.
OLD FORGE n. Y, July 1S-General
Harrison has broken the silence as regards
the presidency. He has said that under no
circumstances viii he be candidate for
that Office and that under no circum-
stances will he accept q nomination.
These statements were made in his cot
tage here in the presence of two Of his old
Grand Army of the Republic friends.
Their names are Congressman Theoren l..
Poole of Syracuse and Joseph I. Saylcs Of
Rome.
Congressman Poole came here for tho
purpose Of inviting General Harrison to
60 to Syracuse on Grand Army day, which
will be during tile week of the state fair.
Every Grand Army post in the state will
and already preparations arc being made
for the event.
Previous to the coming of Congressman
Poole OK United States senator lFank His
cock Of Syracuse wrote to. General Harri-
son, extending him q very cordial invita-
| tion 20 visit Syracuse during state fair
week and to make a speech on Grand Ar
my day. Congressman Poole knew ex-
! Senator Hiscock had written such letter,
and when he came here no was very conf
dent of being able to get an affirmative
response to the oral invitation which he
extended to General Harrison.
Poole Is an ola Friend.
Congressman Poole and General Harri-
sou are old friends and have been ac-
quainted since the battle of Chattanooga.
| They have attended Grand Army encamp-
ments together, and altogether their
friendship has been warm one. Mr..
Sayles is also a Grand Army man, and on
several occasions has met and talked with
General Harrison both in Washington and
at Grand Army encampments. He and
Major Poole were the only persons in the
delegation which called on General Har-
rison who were acquainted with the OK
president After Major Poole had intro
duccd his friends he made known to Gen.
oral Harrison the object Of their mission,
which was, he said, to have him attend
the stato fair and address the old soldiers
General Harrison I'm reply said lac was
always pleased to meet his old comrades
in ari..s, but he coelld not promise to "a
TO Syracuse at the time stated.
