Cannot Oppose the Urgent Requests Of
His Friends.
WASHINGTON, Feb. l9.-The candi-
dacy Of * Senator Charles F. Mander-
son of Nebraska for the Republican
presidential nomination has been IN
nounced by several of his friends. Cen
eral Henderson in conversation later,
said he had heretofore declined to
break his silence upon the matter. For
months past said the senator, II have
received letters from all sections of the
country, urging me to enter the lists as
a candidate. These letters came from
comrades in the War of the Rebellion,
from associates in public life, and in
addition l received many personal re-
quests from fellow citizens in Ne
braska. Before leaving home for
Washington the urgency was of such
emphatic character that l decided to
make no further opposition and to re-
main passive. I can nov simply say
that under this urgency and the kindly
encouragement that has followed l can
do nothing but stand and wait"
