NEW YORK, OCT. 10—General Ben-
jamin Harrison gave out an Interview
and statement tonight. He was asked:
'"Is It true that you have consented to
make some speeches in the campaign? '
"No that statement has not been au-
thorized by me," was his answer.
"I have said to every one who has
spoken or written me on the subject
that I could not do any more campaign
•work. 1 began to make republloun
speeches the yejir I began to vote nnd
have had a ' laborious, if unimportant,
part in every campaign, state and na-
tional since, until 1898.
"In 1S9G I submitted myself to very
hard usage und then made up my mind,
nnd so said to my friends, that I would
do no more campaigning. Hollowing this
conclusion 1 declined to 'take a speaking
port .in the campaign of 1898., My retire-
ment dans from that year, not from
this. Few men have made more' speech9
for their party than I have, and no ex-
perience. I am sure I made more. When
1 left Washington myt retirement from
all participation in party management
had been complete. All that I have
left to others, and I rhink they have
very generously and kindly accepted my
sense of thP proprieties of the case at,
least between campanigns. In a word.
I have vacated the choir loft and taken
a seat In the pews, with a deep sense
of gratitude to my forbearing fellow
countrymen."
"The general reasons I gnve In my
Carnegie hall speech in IMG why Mr. Bry-
an should not be elected still hold good
with me. His election would, I think,
throw governmental and business affairs
into confusion. We should not aid the
election of a president who would, ad-
mittedly, if he could destroy the pold
standard .md other things that we value
more than deceptive suggestion tha/t he
has been hound and that the republican
party wlH, after defeat, still have
strength enough to save the temple. It
would he much better not to allow the
man with destructive tendencies so
much as to lean against its pillars.
"Perhaps it will save you trouble if
I give you, and underwrite as of thle
date, this extract from my Carnegie
speech:
" 'When we have a president who be-
Ileve that it is not his right nor his
duty to «oe that the mall trains- are not

says he is in an extremely critical con-
dition, which may lake a sudden change
for the better or worse at any moment,
and if for tho worst Youtsey will be
