WHAT SENATOR CAMERON SAYS.
: Senator Cameron was asked this evening if he
had heard Of the proposition to depose him from
the charmanship of the National Committee de
replied that he knew all about it, but he did not
believe that the scheme would succeed He said
that If majority of the members of the National
Committee objected to his remaining on it for any
but political reasons he would resign, but he did
not intend to be forced of from the committee in
order that anybodys chances for the nomination
might be improved, and he did not believe that
a majority of the committee would approve any
such attempt. As to his action upon any question
that may arise in the Convention during the
tine when he presides, he shall not decide until
the question actually presents itsef.
The feeling among some of the Blaine men late
this evening is strongly in favor of change, in
the chalrmanship of the National Committee, but
Mr.. shermans supporters very generally hesitate
to assist In movement of that kind fearing that
It would place them in such antagonism to the
third term managers that mono of Grants votes
could ever be transferred to their candidate.
They will without doubt vote for the resolution
Mr.. Cameron to recognize individual
votes and not attempt to enforce the unit rule
