liam C. Whitney has just been inter
viewed at Quarantine, and cyjn(mnced
positively that he would uot, under ajiy
circumstances, accept the Democratic
nomination for governor. Ho docliued
to state his reasons at length, but gavo
the impression that his business inter
ests would not allow his acceptance of
the nomination.
‘‘There are plenty better men in the
Democratic party,” lie said in reply to
tho query as to his opinion on the sub
ject of tli' probable nomiuco.
Mr. Whitney is apparently in the
best of health and says ho Isas enjoyed
himself immensely while abroad, fie
was accompanied by his daughter.
After he had fiuislibd his breakfast,
Mr. Whitney wont to the smokiugroom
and, seating himself in a corner, pre
pared himself to bo interviewed by soino

list being reduced from upward of about
500 articles to about 25. Tlio proprosod

many articles enumerated iu the British

nh the bulk of the trade with this cairn-
It is iu this additional list that the

from being denied tho advantage of a

the chief advantage will he in the de
