Washington correspondent again referring to the Presidential renomination matter gives the story hu come to the correcpondent of the Republican to-night significantly conformitory to the conversation betweea the President and his Senatorial visitor This story is to the effect that the President had quite recently prepared a formal letter to be made public setting forth hie views in regard to the second term in plain distinct words and unqualifiedly declaring that he would not be a candidate for re-election Yielding to the earned persuasions of his friends he committed however to withhold the letter for the present at least if not to wholly abandon his intention of giving it to the public "This story is told on the authority of Col Dorsheliner of New York who was in Washington a few days ago Re told several of his friends while here immediately after coming from the White House that he had been shown the draft of a letter such as has been already character ized and his advice Was asked regarding the policy of such a publication kie said the letter referred at some length to the opposition of a certain element of the Democratic party to the re-election of Cleveland and the chance that this might defeat the ticket After referring to this well known fact in the existing politb cal situation Col Dorsheimer says the President went on in his letter to say that he deemed it wise in view of those circumstances to withdraw his name from all consideration in connection with the nernination Re announced in unequivocal terms that be was not a candidate and sup gestefi that some 'other leader who could command the united support of the whole party be selected as the standard-bearer in 1888 Col Dorsheimer stated that he at once protested against any public use of such a letter as proposed Re told the President there was no need for him to adopt this step now whatever might prove to be wise hereafter He urel the President to abandon the idea for the present at any rate and firedly induced him to yield to his persuasion" ON GERMAN SOIL 1 0 a i 11 4- ri'z 1 i I iiii 4 fl' ri joordot TERRIBLE ACCIDENT BnaLIN April Commission at Metz inveetigating the case of the
