WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1'. 1897 «- Mr. .Pcrfigr’s Position. There has been a deal of loose and entirely unauthorized talk in the state p:1pcrsof11tc,and for that matter in papers outside of the state also, as to the 11111 pose of Ni. John Addison P01- te1 111th 1efe1ence to future political combinations in Connecticut. He has been represented as actively engaged “in laying pipe for the nomination for ~ governor next fall, and also as being in a. scheme to run for the senate against General Hawley at the expiration of the sen:;tor’s term. These and various other alleged political purposes and ac- tivities have been freely ascribed to Mr. Porter, very much to his discom- fort evidedtly, and also very much in . «apposition to the facts as he himself The the authorizes them to be stated. Washington of Brooklyn Eagle, in a recent letter makes this decidedly creditable presentation iof Mr. Porter’s position, which will be seen to be very far off from what has correspondent been alleged:— Ofiicial circl'es here were very surprised at a statement that appeared in a New Haven dispatch to the ell’ect that John Addison Porter, secretary to the president, intended to ,1 resign his much present important position to enter the field as a candidate for governor of Connecticut. Like manyother public men, Secretary Porter has been made the victim of intentional misrepresen- tation. He has noidea whatever of giv_ ing up his present ofiice. He has done more than any presidential secretary since the days of Colonel Iramont to el- evate the office and make it what the new law under which he is acting in- tended it should be —almost of as much importance as a cabinet position. By industry, tact and really remarkable executive ability, Secretary Porter has during the few months that he has been secretary to the president, gained the confidence nOt only of President McKinley, but of the leaders of the Republican party throughout the coun- try with whom he has come in almost He is the first man to and to bear daily contact. serve under the new law, the title of “secretary to the president, ” and when it is stated that the office is fully recognized by the administration, some idea of its scope may be gained. Secretary Porter has been present at every one of the dinners given by Pres- ident McKinley to the members of his cabinet, and he is the only man outside of the president’s official family who has been admitted on these official oc- ‘ casions. Mr. Porter fully realizes, there- fOre, the responsible nature of the trust that has been conferred upon him by the president, and he has no intention whatever of entering into a canvass for of his He of the nomination for state, or fer any other office. governor course appreciates the importance of being chosen by his party as a candi- date for governor, and there is but little doubt that the Republican leaders in Connecticut, even the “machine men whoopposed Mr. Porter when he made his great run last time for the nomina- tion, now look upon him as the most available man to nominate. The very fact that he is not a. cut and dried ma- chine man is strongly in his favor in these days when the opposition to ma- chine nominations has become so mark- ed throughout the country. If his party should offer Secretary Porter the 11:11:1- ination for governor without compelling him to make any light for it he would undOubtedly accept the nomination and in this acceptance he w ould hav e the best Wishes of Pr esident 1.1cK1111cy , 1. ho would regard the election of his sectc- I tary as a compliment to him and his administration. J The statement that Secretary Porter had made a combination with certain Coupecticut politicians to bring about. the defeat cf Senator Hawley for the purpose of himself succeeding Hawley asUnited States senator, is absolutely without foundation. Secretary Porter does not desire to be United States sen- ator and under no circumstances wdl FEMININE CHAT. . Belts grow more elaboraté' and'costly ,every day.
