WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-Mr. Hepburn OF
Iowa, who is one OF Allison's supporters
says In regard TO Harrison's letter of dec
iinatlon:
''The lettor simplifles the situation and
greatly Strengthens, think, the candidacy
of Senator Allison. Harrison has always
recognized the aid given him in 1883 by
the immediate friends of Allison alta criti-
cal period of his candidacy. He has high
regard for the ability Of the senator, as
was evinccd by the earnest demand he
made that the senator should be a MEM

In 1889, and which demand would have
boon acoeded to but for the protest of the
Republicans of Iowa, who were unwilling
TO lose him from tho senate
Senator Carter. chairman of the Repub-
lioan national committee said:
"The letter of General Harrison to
Chairman Gowdy is in strict accord with
every expression l have heard him make
since the election Of 1892 Very shortly
after the election he wrote me an auto
graph letter, rendering his personal thanks
to the committee and expressing his cordial
appreciation Of the services rendered. In
that letter he manifested grave concern
for the welfare of the country under the
policy of the successful party. / take the
liberty of quoting from his letter: 1 could
not feel much personal interest in a result
that seemed to me 10 be so full of heavy
burdens But for our good friends and
for the country i am full Of regret. Pros
perity in an unexampled manner was ours,
and the future was big with increase But
the people have chosen reaction and retro
gression. Old experience is not instruct
i've; each generation must have its own.
Tho antagonism between the workman
and his employer made the former deliver
a blow which 1 pray God he may not feel
as ! fear he will.
"These expressions of concern for the
general welfare of the country, separate
and apart from any personal relation,
have characterized every utterance Of Gen
crai Harrison in my presence from the
election of 1892 to the present time. At
no time has he, to my knowledge, directly
or indirectly indicated to any person dc
sire to secure the presidential nomination
of 1896. "
senator Chandler said of the Harrison
letter that it was dignified and manly,
adding that he had never believed that the
cx-president would be an affirmative can
didate. He thought the letter would sim
plify the situation. The senator also ex-
pressed the opinion that the withdrawal
Of General Harrison would add TO McKin
ley's vote on the first ballot, but not after
ward. The Harrison vote might go to
