Doesn't Want to be President.

The appended dispatch from ex-Sec-retary Wm. C. Whitney was received at New York Wednesday. It explains itself. Lenox, Mass., July 31. To the Editor of the .Vew York Times: An item is going the rounds of the press to the effect that a new weekly newspaper is about to be established in Washington in my interest as a candidate for the Presidency. Be kind enough to publish that it is absolutely without foundation. lam not, and shall not be a candidate for the nomination to that office or any other. There are men in the Democratic party much better entitled to its honors than T am, and I expect to help the best men to win. The item is absurd on its face, and I object to being thought capable of such non-

genre.

W. C. WHITNEY.
