To the rejut 'dilative o! the Associated Pre-s he .-aid : “I" tiie first moment of the , shook of Mr. Hendrick#’ death I yielded to mv inclination, and declared my intention . to"be present ;e: tlie funeral. Of course, in reaching that conclusion, I did not put out of view a peremptory press of public oust- i ness, or what I deemed a sufficient cousid- ! eratioii of mv duty to the people. The pub- j He t„. ,s i igbt I could dispose of by j add'r il ap alion and more hours of work, u i I cousidcred it to be my duty to | tne people to answer a tender sentiment of | respect aud affection io the dead vice-presi- i dent which does tueui great honor. j “ 1 am satisfied uow that 1 was at fault iu , ! cons.dering the question in that I did not take as comprehensive a view of the du y I owe the public as 1 should, that is, I did not look at every phase of it, ami I am afraid my strong personal desire somewhat j clouded mv judgment. . • I am now reminded by some of the bi. t .vl,d mo-t patriotic and thoughtful of our ,-iiizcm. that the real and solemn duties o .1IV office are at the national capital, and ! that in the present peculiar and delicate sit uation 1 ought not to take even the remote chance of accideut incident to travel to •Tatifv :i sentiment *o general and so char- : aetcrislic a* that involved in this subject.

I am now certain that neither my desire nor the sentiment referred to, nor the diffi culty that attend* in this case a change of d *i n, nor any stubborn idea of heroism i w ill justify me in subjecting the country to any greater chance of disaster than attends mv performance of strict duty here, t ml that i I ought not to infliei upon my countrymen j even the untv*i md anxiety attending mv departure, absence utnl return in attendance i upon th • funeral ceremonies.’’ A c insiderable number of Senators, Hep ro'Ciitsitivcs and public officials, as well as many distinguished citizens of Washington, called «>n the President yesterday to urge him to reconsider his determination to at tend the funeral of the Vice-President. Their argument has been, not that there would be more than the ordinary danger involved in the proposed journey, hut that tlic emergency is such that it is his duty to the country to avoid every possible ri-k of accident to his life and health until Con gress meets and a presidential succession is , provided. Large numbers of telegrams to . the same effect poured in upon the Presi ' dent yesterday from leading men in all sec tions of the country, including one from lion Samuel J. Tilden, and a number from distinguished friends of the late Vice-Pres ident at Indiauanolis. At a late hour yes terday the following was received from Mr. Ilord, his law partner and intimate friend : *'!ni>i an aI’OLls, lsi>., Nov. 2K.—To the President: Mrs. Hendricks requests me to j ; | thank Mi— Cleveland for her kind and ; : o tn111til letter.
