Show Why CliriMluucj' Keslgaetl, New York, 11. Chrisliancy, being interviewed by a New York Times reporter re-porter at Detroit, yesterday, said: ' No man can honestly assert that I have been ioOuenced to resign by Chandler or anybody else. Undoubt ed.y the friends cf Chandler are pleased at my withdrawal, but so are the friende of Gov. Bagiey. 1 have no means of knowing which will be the successful candidate, and I don't want to know. It is none of my business, and while at Lansing last week, I avoided, as far as poBsible, any contact with members of the legislature in order that I might not be accueed of tampering with their votes or iclluence. It is entirely of my own volition, and for reasons that have been already stated in the newspapers news-papers a change of climate for the benefit of my health, and a salary much larger than that which I now receive." |
