IS HARRISON
 IN THE RACE? It iSsPOSSible He May Be a
 Candidate. GUBERNAToRIALFOR He Does Not Deny or Confirm
 the RumOr. Says He Has Not Seriously Consider ed the Matter-Governor John { ston will Not Enter
 Contest.

General George P. Harrison of Opelika, came to Montgomery yesterday from Scale. where he had been engaged in court. In an interview he positively re- fused to confirm or deny the statement recently made by Governor Johnston that it was thought he-General Harrison would be candidate for Governor this year against Governor Jelks. n
 The distinguished Opelika lawyer and statesman was shown an interview with Governor Johnston published yesterday morning by The Birmingham Age-Herald in which the former Governor said it was thought by some persons that General Harrison would be a candidate for gub- ernatorial honor and that Colonel k. l.. Russell of Mobile, would also run.
 'The Advertiser would like to publish a statement from you confirming or deny ing this report" General Harrison was told.
 T have no idea to whom Governor Johnston refers," said General Harrison. when he says it is thought by some persons that 1 will enter the race as 1 have not expressed myself on the subject. In fact 1 have not seriously considered the matter, and had rather say nothing for publication at the present time. II I should decide to enter the race will annoance the fact to the people of Ala bama at the proper time. At present 4 have nothing to say"
 In the course of the interview with a representative of The Birmingham Age Herald Governor Johnston said emphati- cally that he would not be a candidate for Governor of Alabama next year.
 "will Governor Jelks. in your opinion certainly have opposition in the oonyen- tion?'' Governor Johnston was asked by the Birmingham interviewer.
 ''Humanly speaking, yes. There VIII De one, probably two or three Democratic candidates, for gubernatoriai honors.
 Asked to name the prospective oandi- dates Governor Johnston replied that ne could not say positively that this or that man would run. He simply felt sure that somebody would announce against Gov- ernor Jelks.
 '"There has been no conference in re- lation to candidates so far as am aware" said Governor Johnston There may be such a conference later
 Tt is thought ny some that General Harrison will run and that Colonel Rus sell will also run" continued the ex-Gov- ernor. II would not be surprised to sec both of them announce, but as l have said, I know nothing"
 Governor Johnston said he heard some people had suggested that the anti-rati- fication Democrats would eventually land in the Republican party; that they were starting out as the late Senator Mahone did if 1877 or 1878. Such a notion as that is very absurd" protested the ex-Gov- ernor. we are Democrats and will re- main Democrats. And our fights Will be inside the party organization"
