NO THIRD TERM FOR HIM.
President Mckinley Puts an Emphauo
Ouietus on the Recent suggestion That
He stand for denomination.

Washington, June 1.-THE follow
ing statement has been given out at
the white house: 81 regret that the
suggestion of third term has been
made. / doubt whether / am called
upon to give this notice. But there
are now questions of the gravest i'm
portance before the administration
and the country and their just con-
sideration should not be prejudiced In
the public mind by even the suspicion
of the thought of a third term. In
view therefore of the reiteration OF
the suggestion of it, I will say now,
once for all, expressing a long set
tied conviction, that not only am
not and will not be candidate for a
third term, but would not accept q
nomination for it, if it were rendered
me. My only ambition is to serve
through my second term to the nc
ceptance of my countrymen, whose
generous confidence I so deeply ap-
preciate, and then with them to DO
INV duty in the ranks of private cit
izenship.-William Mckinley"
