Gpccial Dispatch TO The Appeal.
NJ WASHINGTON, June 27.-The confident
claim Is made that the campaign in the
doubtful States by the Republicans will
hot be especially brilliant or effective this
year. Gen. Harrison's strength in Indiana
Is offset by his weakness on the Pacific
EAST. and, with the probability Of his los
ing California, there is little comfort left
in the assertion that he will achieve Re-
publican triumph at home. The fact that
the ticket needs strengthening is confessed
in the speculation touching the Republi-
can program about the minor nominations
yet TO be made. In New York Warner
Miller is slated for the gubernatorial NOM
ination, in the expectation that he willadd
the granger vote in the interior Of the
the State TO the manufacturing and
commercial contingent with which
Mr.. Morton is thought TO DO par
ticularly strong. In Indiana Ex-Gov.
Porter, who is popular man with
the labor organizations, is TO take the gu
bernatorial nomination so as 10 bring the
strength'o OF those organizations. II possible,
to bear on the. Republican canvass. Har-
rison has no particular hold on the esteem
Of the laboring men, being rated, as rule,
ms phlegmatic aristocrat The necessity,
, therefore, OF calling in the services OF Gov.
! Porter Is very great. II is intimated that
4 Mr.. Blaine is 10 be assigned to strengthen
the ticket, as far as possible on the Pacific
slope. He is TO be requested 10 make q
tour across the continent, and canvass
that locality as he did Indiana and the
northwest Ia 1884. lie will probably not
be invited 10 Indiana this tin.e, because OF
the letter he wrote at the time his SLAM
der suit was withdrawn. In the north
west the antagonism 10 both Allison and
Alger, which is laid at the door Of Mr..
| Blaine's friends and managers, would de-
. tract somewhat from the effect OF his prcs-
ence there. His finst campaign service
Twill be on the stump at home. He will
4 then be invited 10 the Pacific slope, and
after q series Of speeches there will return
\ and close his engagements in New York
chd New Jersey. II Is, however, expected
THAT II this program Is carried out the
democrats will offset Mr.. Blaine by send
ing Judge Thurman 20 the Pacific coast,
fNherc he Is very popular. Gen. Weaver,
n Iowa, who represents constituency
<composed largely Of laboring men, and
who has their unqualified support, said to-
day 10 TnE APPRAL correspondent
II "Mr. Harrison will prove TO be very
obnoxious candidate among the indie
pendent, anti-monopoly and labor element
Of the country. Hc has been very oncn-
sive In language and attitude 10 the adj
vocates Of financial reform. lie Is on
record In his own State Ms declaring that
fthc Grccnbackcrs were lunatics and
fanatics and ought 10 be in an asylum, and
that any man who believed that the gov
ernment OF the United States could create
money by the fat OF the law. was a d-d
fool. lie has been very hostile toward
striking laboring men, and am reliably
informed he did, on the occasion of n
strike In his own State, urge the Governor
20 call out troops 10 suppress the strikers,
who had committed no brecch Of the
peace, and declared II he were Governor
he would force them 10 20 10 work or
shoot them down on the spot. lie Is the
choice Of Mr.. Depew for President, and IA
prominent railroad attorney. Such a
candidate Is not likely TO find support
among the laboring men and farmers ol
