NOT A CANDIDATE.
Gen. Miles Has No Aspiration
to Be President.
Satisfied to Serve His Country Wher-
ever Duty May Call.
Denial Comes in Answer 10 q Letter Of lrquin
from Boston.

Boston, Jan. 26.-In a letter addressed
the Commonwealth Club. Gen. Nelson
A. Miles declares emphatically that he
is not a candidate for Presidential
honors.
The following correspondence regard
ing the matter is self-explanatory:
Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Wash
ington, d. c.:
my Dear General: / read with re-
greet. this week, a statement from a
Washington correspondent, announcing
you as an active candidate for the
Presidency. The statement was so cum
ningly devised as to lead the average
reader to believe that it was authorized
by you or your friends.
Here in Boston we do not credit it,
and regret the unfortunate position in
which it places you. While we appreci-
ate the delicacy of the situation, we
believe The story demands either con-
firmation or denial at your hands. 1t
is evidently part of a general plan by
the politicians to embarrass and hu-
initiate you; therefore they should be
unmasked and the political atmosphere
cleared by a statement from you.
Now, general, in view Of all this, l
believe you should speak. Are you not
at liberty to disclaim your alleged can
didacy for the Presidency if the same,
as we believe, is untrue?
ut is by far grander achievement
to start a volunteer private and from
that level scale the superlative heights
Of martial distinction to the general
ship of the army, than to become Presi-
dent.
Trusting you will honor me with an
early reply and assuring you Of my
highest personal regard, remain faith
fully yours,
GEORGE G. WASHBURN,
president Commonwealth Club of
Massachusetts,
Headquarters of the Army,
Washington, Jan. %, 1902.
"Hon. George F. Washburn, President
Commonwealth Club of Massachu-
sets. Boston Mass:
My Dear Mr.. Washburn: Your favor
Of the 18th inst, reached me, today.
You desire information as to the truth
or falsity of the newspaper reports
from Washington making me an ac-
tive candidate for the Presidency.
II deeply regret these reports. Like
many others in the past. they are alb
solutely unauthorized. They do not
emenate from myself nor from my
friends, and trust that the public will
not be misled by them.
II have not been and am not now a
seeker for Presidential honors. My
ambition has ever been to faithfully
serve my country in whatever sphere
duty may have dictated, and this will
be my sole purpose in the future. Very
sincerely yours,
NELSON A. MILES,"
