Whitney sjivm Hill Ih llio Mutt For I lie I'lnoe Anil Thnt Ho Would I'oll All Kiioi-mous Yofv-Tiiiumiin.v In a I'uiilf. Otarantini:, S. I., Sept. 20 -William C. Whitney was interviewed at quaran tine this morning and announced posi tively that he would not, under an; cir cumstances, accept the Democratic nomination for governor. He declined to state bis reasons at length, but gave the impression that bis business interests would not allow bis acceptance of the nomination. "There are plenty better men in the Democratic party," he said in reply to a query as to his opinion on the subject of the probable nominee. Mr. Whitney is apparently in the best of health and says he has enjoyed him self immensely while abroad. He was accompanied by bia daughter. After be had finished his breakfast, Whitney went to the smoking room of the steamer and. seating himself in acorner, prepared him self to be interviewed by some 20 re porters. "In the first place" he said. "I will not accept the nomination under any circum stances. I stated that very uositivelv before I left Europe in a cablegram to somebody or other, I don't remember whom. There are plenty ol better men in the Democratic psrty, men who would be more acceptable and more successful than I. I regard David B. Hill as the very best man for the place. I think he would poll an enormous vote. Of course I think the next governor will be a Dem ocrat. I am not well enough rested in regard to the news of the past few days to hazard a guess at tlu probable selec tion of the Democratic convention, but I hope to see a strong man nominated." The revenue cuttcrChandlcr ran a'.aaa- side the Majestic at ouarantine and brought Col. Storey and a nartv of Dem ocrats to meet Whitney. Saratoga, N. Y sept. U6. Tamma ny's adherents were thrown into a con dition bordering on panic today when n bulletin announcing that Whitncv had declined the nomination for coventor was read. Senator Hill said: "I sun- posed that he would decline to accept it. i naa said an along that Whitney bad no desire to enter politics." Lieut. Liov. hlicclnn looked disur pointed as he read the dispatch and said: "Whitney would huve been a very strong man and the situation now is rather mixed. Wc have wasted valuable time chasing a shadow." In the heuriiinurtcrs of other candi dates the news was received with great njoicing and the several booms ull re ceived a new impetus. It now 2 o m.l looks m though lohn Hoyd Thatcher would be named lor Governor. int. ui:n ii:.vi. A Limit 1,11b of (iivat I'm-nilm-HM V.tu- nl ut tiri'i'iiHlioi'ii, Grkknsiioro, Sept. 2.-Dr.p L.
