sentative Republicans to Con-
fer ON the Campaign.
New York Times.


The preparations for the republican
con ference to be held in this city next
Thursday, August 9Th, are about com
plete by the national COMMITTEES. The
gathering promises TO be one of the
most interesting, as it will, no doubt,
be one of the most important, ever
held in the history of the party. The
managers of the cam paign, desiring to
bring together the prominent men of
the party, including the candidates for
president and vice president. to reach
the fullest understanding of the pfin-
cipal aims to be kept in view in the
campaign, sent notices TO leading re"
publicans in all the northern states,
and have received ASSURANCES from
sufficient number of those invited 10
show that the idea of holding con-
ference meets with general approval,
and that it will be very largely at
tended. Gen. James A. Garfield has
sent word that he will attend. He
will leave his home at Mentor, O,next
Tuesday afternoon on special train,
accompanied by Senator John A. LO-
gan, of Illinois, Gen. Ben. Harrison,
of Indiana, Judge Alphonse Taft, of
Ohio, the Hon. Chas. 6. Williams, of
| Wisconsin, and the Hon. Omer d.
Conger of Michigan. The party will
reach Buffalo on Tuesday night. Here
they will be received by Gov. A. B.
| Cornell and several members of his
staff, Lieutenant Governor George q.
Roskins, the Hon. Frank Hiscock, ex-
Governor Jewell, the Hon. Levi P.
| Morton, Senator Robertson, and the
Hon. Richard Crowley. The stay in
| Buffalo will be necessarily short, and
it is not probable that General Gar
| field will have any opportunity to
speak there beyond acknowledging
| the welcome of the crowds that are
sure to receive him. On Wednesday
morning at $50 o'clock special train
| OF two paror cars will take the party
from Buffalo. On the way to New
York brief stops will be made at Bats>
via, Rochester, Lyons, Syracuse,
Rome, Utica, Little Falls, Sc enecta~
dy. Albany, Hudson and Poughkeep-
| sic. 1t is known that the Garfield
| and Arthur clubs in these places have
| all declared their intention of greeting
the candidate as he passes through the
| different cities. General Garfield will
not, it is believed, make any speeches
on the way, but will make some of his
| travelling companions the spOkesmen
to acknowledge the greetings of the
republicans who will turn out TO NEE
him and cheer him by the way. The
| train is expected to arrive at the Grand
| Central depot at 8 o'clock Wednesday
evening. There will be no formal re-
ception there. Gen. Garfield will GO
