THE PRESIDENTS WISH TO MAKE A PUBLIC DECLA- RATION WITHDRAWING FROM THE RACE—DISSUADED FROM HIS PURPOSE BY THE NEW YORK EDITOR— ‘NO LETTER WRITTEN. ‘The following statement from Mr. Dorshelmer in regard to the President's intentions appears in the editorial columns of the New York Star to- day: “In view of the reports which have been Sent out by the Washington corréspondents of some Western newspapers, I think it proper to make the following statement: In January last ‘the President said to me that he had been contem- plating the making of a public declaration which Would take him out of the field as a candidate in 1888, He said that he was led to this conclusion not only by personal considerations, but because he thought such a course would relieve him from imputations which were daily cast upon him, and which interfered with his usefulness in office. After listening to the President’s observations and superaine: that he wished an expression of my opinion, I told@@him that I thought such a declaration would be very unwise and that it would increase his perplexities rather than dl- miuish them, I also said that it was not for him to say whether he would be a candidate for re-election or not, ‘That that was a matter to be decided by the democracy, who had hon- ored him greatly and who had aright to his ser- vices if they desired them. I also u that no ‘tradition would be broken by his candidacy for a second term, and that it might be most seaport {to his party and the country that he should be re elect After a long conversation upon this sub- Ject, the effect of which was as I have stated, the Imatter was dropped and has not since been alluded. ‘to, except in casual manner. I have never had in my possession a letter from the President with reference toa second term, nor have I ever seen such a letter, or the draft of ‘one. I have not been in Washington since the 4th of this month. If the President has arrived at the determination sug- aaa iu his conversation with me last January I lo not know it. But knowing well his character Jam confident that if he thinks it his duty to de- cline @ renomination he will make his intention public in a way which will render a misunder- ‘standing of it impossible. In common with other sonal friends, and, as I believe, with the great Bouy. of thedemocracy and a large part of the in- dependent and repubilcan voters, I sincerely hope ae cevelana will accept the ooo which, according to present appearances, W! tendered to him without serious dissent. “Ws. DORSHBIMER. “New York, April 25, 1887.” ‘The Facts in the Case. UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES THE PRESIDENT SPOKE TO MR. DOKSHEIMER AND OTHERS. ‘The editorial announcement by Mr. Dorsheimer of what he knows about the second-term story has not created much of asensation. What the Presi- denvs sentiments were on January last 1s pretty well known to a number of public men with whom he spoke at that time, ‘The question of a second term for Mr. Cleveland was not at that ume deing talked of as it 1s now. It came up only incidentally. The matter which then concerned the President and other prominent men in the party was the failure of ‘Congress to do anything. ‘The matter was spoken ‘or between the President and democratic members of both the House and the Senate, and regret was freely expressed by the Presidént at the inac- ton. It Was someumes suggested that there Were Presidential aspirants in Congress who dlov) legislatior decause "of the fear of advancing Mr. Cleveland toward a second term, In answer to this suggestion the President said, patriottcally, that if fear of his get- Ung a second term was preventing Congress trom pasdng legislation that the good of the country demanded, it might be well for him to relieve them ot’ this fear by stepping aside. It was in this way that Mr. Cleveland reterred to the question of a second term in speak- ing to several public men in connection with the Inaction ot Congress. He probably spoke to Mr. Dorshelmer in the same view when he called at ‘the White House, Had he been reposing a conti. dence he would, doubtiess, have spaken with some one of bis more intimate friends and advisers. Alexandria Affairs. Reported for THe EVENING STAR, Carr. Davis’ DEPARTURE.—Capt. J. V. Davis, for many years past chief at the soldiers’ cemetery here, left to-day for his new post at Little Rock, Ark.” This city’ needs no witness of how early and thoroughly the bitterness born of war disappeared here than Capt. Davis. He had been a Union soldier, and came here early to take charge of a position Ukely to hear expressions of enmity or dislike, Yet no man had more friends; no citizen a wider circle of pleasant associates, He leaves universally regretted, as sorry to go as any other Virginian to leave home, and says he will come back some day, even if he lias to live on fish and catch the fish himself. His life here ls an auswer to the calumny that there 1s even a shadow of ostracism on Northern people who come to'live in Alexandria, ASSIGNMENT.—The assignment of S.A. Green, of Green's factory, on Prince and Fairfax strevts, brings to a close one of the oldest establishments 4m Alexandria, and one which for a long tine car- ried onan iininense business.

The law requires that all owners of property situated on a street on which maing are laid shall ay a Water-main tax of 1 cent per square foot. ‘This includes all persons who obtain their water by tapping the main and running service pipes into their houses.
