The Cincinnati Tribune today prints the following interview with ex-Sec- retary of the Treasurer Charles Foster
 T can tell you positively" said the ex-secretary, ''that General Harrison does not want the presidential nomina- tion, nor would take it if tendered him. I know absolutely llhat this is his present determination Of course we cannot tell what the future may bring forth.
 T was in New York a few days ago and General B. F. Tracy told me that Harrison had told him that under no circumstances would he consent to his name being placed before the St. Louis convention He said that he was tired of political life and was weary of hay ing his name mentioned in the news papers. As soon as I had returned home from New York I wrote General Harrison a letter quoting the lan- guage used by General Tracy. He re- piled to my letter very quickly. I will not tell you all he said, but his closing paragraph contained these words:
 "If you can show me any reason Wuy l WHU1lI JULIO l might reconsider my determination |"
 MT. Foster said that MT. Mckinley was the most formidable candidate, as he represents the protective policy Of the Republican party, and protection must be the lines we must fight the battles on this year,
 Governor Mckinley, when told of the above interview last night, refused to say anything about General liar rison's declination. When asked if he previously knew that General liar rison would not be "a candidate he de- claned to answer.
 Dr. Chauncey M. Depew, when asked at New York about the reported determination of General Harrison moi to be a candidate, said:
 General Harrison has made state ments like that with which General Tracy credits him to several persons and that has been his attitude all through. It does not follow that i'd would prove a bar to his renomina- tion."

The. action OF the freight agents asso-
citation at its meeting yesterday after
noon has been anticipated since the
meeting of the chamber Of commerce
last week. 1t had been stated before
this meeting that the petition circulated
among the Main street business people
together with action by the chamber OF
commerce was all that was necessary TO
insure the closing of the freight stations
which practically compels the suspen-
sion OF business in the wholesale district
ON Saturday afternoon.
The IntelligenCer feels gratitied over
the success which has attended the
movement for Saturday half holiday
during the heated term. Its agitation
has been entirely through the columns
of this paper But without the enthu-
siastic support 1hat was given. the
movement by the Main street business
community the half holiday would have
been doomed to failure. 1t Is to the
credit of these merchants that they APP
prcciated the fact that their employs
would give them as much and as faith
full service In five and one-half days as
they would perform In six days. The
half holiday movement Is now an &c
complished fact. and the sentiment IN It's
favor is extending beyond the whole
sale mercantile establishments. Banks
and factory offices will probably also
close Mt / p. IN. on Saturday during the
heated term. Let the good WORK 80 on
