President elect Harrison is ex-
pected TO 20 to New York in a
week or two to confer with the
"big four" on the subject of federal
patronage and to determine who
shall control New York's share of
the spoils,
1t will probably also be determined
at this meeting just how much
New York state shall have for
throwing her thirty-six electoral
votes into the balance for Harrison.
Harrison is a politician, and ne
wants to keep New York in the re-
publican line.

will have TO have big chunk, for
it is notorious fact that New York
politics are controlled by boo die

of the North. After several attempts to
determine the question, vote was had, and
the resolution to send the delegates unin-
