WASHINGTON , January il WorJ reached
hero within a day or two from Minister Mor
ton that ho 1ms decided to allow htfl name to
Btand among the list of the New York nonato-
rial candidates , unless it becomes appaicnt
that hii withdrawal would lender certain the
election of Arthur , when ho will at once tike
this Htcp. It is known tb.it Morton ha ) bean
ndvisoJ by his friends tbat his withdrawn !
at this ntapo would not give Pieiiddnt Arthur
sufficient strength toinsura1 liU ole tinn , and
therefore ho must stay in the field. His
friend * and supporters hero are apprehensive
Ids determination may have a wroug construc
tion placed upon it by Home of the president'- )
friends , nnd bo regarded as an open refusal to
support him. Tills they say , would placeMor-
ton in a false position , as his loyalty to Arthur
cannot ho called into nuoition , nnd that ho it
ready to throw his Inliuenco in favor of thu
president the moment it can be shown that by
BO doing the UUer's election will follow. ANew
Now York republican , who has been in cable
communication with Morton , nuured the cor
respondent to-day that thn Jattar was very
anxious thai tho. president [ huuld nndcratand
cloirly bis position , and bo assured that lie
would cpuntonanca no movement on the part
of his friends having a tendency to bring th m
into antagonism. Senator Miller , who ro-
lurntd from Now York Wednesday night , is
atill very non-coinnirjnicatlvoreguding his intentions -
tentions , and talks with loss freedom than bo
did before ho held the conference with his
frisnds early in the week inftewYork. Hs
friends say that ho IH di > need to lake no active -
tivo part yat , but to wait further develop
ments. That ho is much more Inclimd
to Kuppott Arthur than auv cf the
candidates is a fact well known
but he < loCK not want to go into the fight at
all unless to prqtect'his own seat two yf ars
heccc. The wlmky interest is not altogether
pleased with the reception accorded Attorney
General Brcweter's opinion that the time for
paying the tux now duo on whisky in bond
can bu extended by simply filing n declara-
ion of on intcntioivto expurt it accompanied
bv a bond , nd they are pushing Secrutaiy
ArcCulloch for an immediate decision ro as to
top further criticism. The pecuniary natur-
Ily Inclines to pivo the relief asked for but nt
ho same time is not quite prepared to do si
invtho face of jmblic ofinion. Tiia expected
