DECLINES TO BE A CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY. A MANLY LETTER.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 3, 1896. This
evening Capt. John X Gowdy, chairman
of the Republican State central committee,
called by invitation at the residence of
Gen. Harrison, when the ex- President
handed him the following letter:
Hon. John X. Gowdy: In view of the
resolutions passed by the State central
committee at its recent meeting, and of
the fact that delegates to the national Re
publican convention are soon to be
chosen in this State, | have concluded
that some statement from me as to my
wishes and purposes should now be made
to my ,n:r,, ana friends
L,.lney NJ | have declined to speak to the
public upon this matter, but scores of
friends to whom | have talked and many
scores more to whom have written will
recognize in this expression the substance
of what | have said to them. To every
one who has proposed to promote my
nomination, l have said: "No; there
never has been an hour since | left the
White House that | have felt wish to
return to it.
My Indiana friends have been most de-
voted and faithful, and | am their CRATE
ful DEBTOR. The Republlcan party has twice
in national convention given me indorse-
ment, and that is enough. | think the
voters of our party are now entitled to
have new name.
For the sentiment, great or small, that
has been manifested for my nomination,
| am grateful, and of that wider respect
and kindness, breaking party lines, which
have been shown me in so many ways,
am profoundly appreciative.
l cannot consent that my name be pre-
sented OF used in the St. Louis conven-
ton, and must kindly ask my many friends
to accept this az sincere and final ex-
preston upon this subject.

Newspaper Notes.

In the civil suit of Plummer vs.. The Port
land Express, Judge Strout ruled in sub
stance that in the case of a charge against a
public official relating to his official conduct,
it was sufficient to constitute a complete de-
Tense to show to the satisfaction of the Jury
that the accusation was honestly made in the
belief that it was true, and without malice,
and that the newspaper that made it had
reasonable grounds to believe it was true
That certainly gives the newspapers all the
latitude they can reasonably ask for in the
criticism of public officials, says the Port
