hARRiSON'S POSITION.
Ne W ould select No Oas Hut Himself for
President.


John C New, who was the right
hand man Of Ex-President Harrison In
isss. and is so yet tor all that j. known
20 The contrary. has been interviewed
as To the position OF his chief. Since
his statements have no. been contra
dictel by Cen Harrison, or 10y any
friend Of his. 1t can be taken Tor
granted that they are INSPIRED"
Ii seems. then. that the attitude OF
the cx-presi,ent is the conventional
one OF the priest " no Is called on 70 be
a bishop, who docs not want the Office
aud breads its responsibilities, but
who accepts il in obedience To a sol
cmn sense of duty. Gen. Harrison is
not "A candidate. says Mr.. New. lie
will not enter into the struggle for a
nomination which could not bring him
any more honor. but which would
bring him more cares" But II he
should be called 10 active leadership
by the party The VIII assume the duty
AS a trust from which his patriotism
will not allow him TO shrink" This is
the language Of an ancient Roman
rather than a modern lndianian.
II vox popali said: General. you
must exchange the peaceful seclusion
OF your home Tor the laborious turmoil
81 tie Whit. house. Mr.. New says au
thoritatively he would pack up and go.
and Mr. New is Of the opinion that vox
populi Is going % DO that very thing
He says the unmistakablc drift fpuD-
lie sentiment" is liarrisonward
-, Inf u
not be checked aud turned in another
direction Mr.. New announces that
were Gen. ilarrison's advice solicited
he would Sc lect neither Mr.. Mckinley
nor Mr. Reed as the repu blican candi-
date for president.
In other words. public sentiment
is warned hat if out OF regard for Mr..
llarrisons preference for private life
he is rot called on 10 be a candidate. IL
will not do TO select either Of the two
other men who are the leading aspi-
rants for the nomination. while very
unwilling 10 be nominated, Gen. llar-
rison explains that It would be unsafe
TO nominate anyone else, and his
friends are working hard to prevent
the commission of such blunder.
What Mr.. New had to say on behalf
of his chief could have been put in
very few words. Gen. Harrison is
anxious TO Toe renominated and reflect
ed He is a candidate for the nomina-
ion, and through his friends is work
ny hard to get it. Recognizing the
fact that Messrs. Reed and Mckinlcy
are at this moment his most formida-
BILE competitors he takes the trouble
to point out what he considers their
weak spots One stands for bill
which cost the party two defeats and
stands for nothing else. The other he
alleges is reS ponslble for the heavy APP
preparations OF the Fifty-irst con-
gress-
A. an old politician Mr.. New ought
to have known that II would have been
better 10 say Cen. Harrison yearns
exceedingly for the nomination and
means to get it If he can rather than TO

shoulder looking iinpaticntly for the
