WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-THE candidacy
of ex-senator Charles F. Henderson, of Ne
braska, for the Republican presidential
nomination was announced to-day at the
capital by several of his friends. General
Henderson this evening in conversation
said that he had heretofore declined to
break his silence on the matter For
months past" said the Senator. Il have re-
ceived letters from ali sections of the coun-
try urging me to enter the lists as a candi-
date. These letters came from comrades
in the war of the rebellion, from associates
in public life, and, in addition, / received
many personal requests from feilow-citizens
in Nebraska Before leaving home for
Washington the urgency was of such en-
phatic character that l decided to make no
further opposition and to remain passive.
l can now simply say that under this urg-
ency and the kindly encouragement that
has followed 1t / can do nothing but stand
