New York Letter.

uOW COutIOl ID COIlplctc. wi. Duuloy
managed the campaign in the West for
Mr.. Blaine in 1884. and is presumably in
his confidence. 1t is an open secret that
John G. New, of indianapolis, desired
some recognition of an official charac-
ter on the national committee, but he
is obliged to be content with an humble
place, while the most active and subtle
man in Indiana politics opposed to him
is made treasurer, or in other words,
given the power to use the funds for
the coming campaign, with all that i'm
plies in the hands of brave man.
1t is we'll known. and often spoken of
here, that Mr.. Morton, the aspiring
vice-presidential candidate, who had
some experience with Mr.. New in the
Garfield campaign in 1880, set his foot
arbitrarily against News having any
thing to do with the expenditure of the
paign, not, perhaps, from any WAIT of
confidence, but because he did not ap-
prove of his methods.
Col. Dudley is one-leg soldier, a man
of intellecU, power and courage. He is
one of those men like ''Matt' Quay, the
chairman of the committee, who is ST.
lent but observing. His election COM
pletes the list and emphasizes the WHIP
ing out of the old crowd that controlled
the destinies of the Republican party
during the last canvass. Outside of
GARRISON, of Iowa, none of the old men
remain. Chauncey |. Filley. of Missouri,
is brought back into the scheme of man
agement, and he will make his power
felt. In other words, there has been
complete restoration of the
OLD POLITICAL MANAGERS,
and the wild Western crowd who under
took to manage the last campaign are
body and breeches relegated to the rear.
Ii you may judge by appearances, this
course meets the appreciation of those
who mean something in the fight. Even
Charles Emory Smith, Whitelaw Reid
and Steve ElkinS eat their humble pie
without growing, and try to applaud
the new deal. William Walter Phelps
is entirely in sympathy with the new
condition, and what few GROWERS there
are have no chance to be heard. 1t
is well understood that Col. Quay
dictated the nomination and election of
Col. Dudley as treasurer, as he has
dominated every other phase of the con-
test. The amusing feature of the COM
ments on his election is that he is set
ting up great scheme for himself in
the future in opposition to the Came
r0nS. The fact is that his relations with
both father and son were never warmer
than at present, and they will give him
most hearty support i'll his manage
ment of the coming campaign. No ele-
ment Of the party would be more fruit
full in advice and resource than they,
and no one knows it better than Senator
Quay, who now takes his first inning as
a national boss.
1t is not subject for controversy that
Mr.. DepeW, who was simply the stalk
ing horse for Mr.. Blaine in the recent
convention, was, and is, one the closest
friends of the CamerOnS, and has been
from the start. He was only a candi-
date to land the winner, and at tn last
moment he selected Harrison. His visit
to Europe Immediately after his by-play
as a polticion, for the distinct purpose
of visiting Mr.. Blaine, only illustrates
the powers through which Gen. Harri-
son was nominated for the presidency.
In London, little more than year
ago to-day, many of the arrangements
which have now become facts were
talked over and decided upon between
MIR. BLAINE AND MIR. DEPEw.
Gen. Cameron and Murat HalStead
were in the game, and the issue of those
conversations has not gone very far
WIOIS. MI. I1dlSlcdu was. VI COuESc,
for Mr.. Sherman, with little or no idea
that he could be nominated, as he was
very well aware of the conclusions that
had been reached on the other side of
the water long before MIR. Blaine de-
clined and MIR. Sherman concluded to be
candidate. The president of the New
York Central railroad has been far
greater factor i'll determining the presi-
Dental nomination, and finally deter
mining the hands into which the Repub-
lican campaign is to be placed, than
any one not thoroughly familiar with the
facts can imagine. He was candidate
for the presidency long enough to pre-
vent the nomination of any one but the
man he finally designated. His wire
was at the ear of his chief in Scotland
letter. Before he left for Europe he
mapped out the path to be pursued, sug-
geSted the craftsmanship of the national
committee, and then went to Europe to
arrange the details for the reception of
Mr.. Blaine on his return to this country.
1t is a good wager of two to one that
Mr.. Depew returns with the plumed
knight to witness the completion OF his
work as the most successful political by
player in this country. Having great
influence with the railroads of the land,
cunning figures have been given to all
Republican clubs who desire to visit
New York on or about the 27th of July,
when MIR. Blaine will return to this
country. Such clubs as desire to par
ticipate in that hilarious occasion will
travel upon cheaper rates than have
been given in long time, and the
whole railroad system of the country is
to be Joined in giving cheap fares to
all those who desire to visit the metrop-
oils for that occasion. Preparations are
being made by the local organizations
here to receive the different delega-
lions, and it is expected by the man.
ayers that
THE OVATION TO MIR. BLAINE
will be equal, if not greater, than the
reception tc Gen. Grant in San Fran
cisco on his return to this country after
his trip around the world.
Naturally, this is but part of the
general programme. The reception is
simply to demonstrate the hold Mr..
Blaine still has upon the people, and the
necessity for his work in the approach
ing presidential campaign. After his
arrival and d short rest, Mr.. Quay is to
address him a letter, asking his cooper
alton in the canvass, and early in August
he is to open the contest in Portland,
which is to be made the occasion of a
great demonstration on the part of his
native state. This introduction is, how
ever, only a part of the compensation to
settle for his part of the campaign, and
fix his power for the future should Har-
riSOn be successful. -
Never since Gen. Grant was elected
president have the best judgment, cour-
age and financial resources of the Re-
publican party been SO enlisted and
harmoniZed as they are to-day. No
amount of money and no amount of eff
fort will be lacking to win this fight.
