DID NOT SAY SO.
Congressman Frederick Says There
Was No Agreement I'm 1884 that He
Should Withdraw.

congressman BrO0er1ck says Inere
Was No Agreement in 1894 that HI e
Should Withdraw.
WASHINGTON. d. c., Feb. 22.-Judge
Broderick's attention was called to the
recent publication coming from Aanhat-
tan saying that he had entered into an
agreement with Mr.. Bailey to remain
out of the campaign this year. He said
that there was no such agreement, aud
could not have been, for Mr. Bailey had
never advised with nor informed him
that he intended or wanted to be a can
didate this year
The story of the alleged agreement as
told by one of Mr.. Bailey's friends is
this:
congressman Broderick gavo out the
impression that he would not run again,
though he did not positively promise it,,
and acting upon this understanding, Bal
ley withdrew from the canvass af 1894
and gave his earnest support to Mr..
Broderick. What Frederick said was
that ne did not care for another ter
after 1896, and that he would be ready to
get out of the way in that year. This
Bailey accepted as promise not to run
again.
some time since West Wilkinson of
Seneca wrote to Congressman Frederick,
calling his attention to the understand
ing of 1894 In reply Mr.. Broderick ad-
mitted that he had conveyed the i'm
preston that he would not be candi-
date in 1896 but denied that he had
made positive promise to that effect.
The conditions had changed, he said, and
be had decided to stand for another
term"
This story is spoiled by the above
statement made by Mr.. Broderick today
