anxious hearts in Washington awaiting
the result Of his visit Gen. HARRISON has
never met Mr.. Quay, the oxigencies Of
the campaign having prevented the
formation Of any acquantanceship be-
tween the two during that exciting
period. II Is therefore not expected that
Gen. Harrison will show his distinguished
visitor whatever slate Of Cabinet officials
he may have drawn up. But Mr. Quay,
having led the campaign, possesses Just
that information which the next President
desires To obtain. lie knows who contrib.

support resolution that all disputes be-
ton rather than war, and another resolu-
ton declaring in favor OF the eight hour
