Republicans Must Have OHe-EVery-
thing - lovely.

There have been a good many onrOying
truths about the organization OF the National
Republican Committee that have been denied,
but though crushed 10 earth they rise again.
The latest denial Is to the solid fact that
the National Republican League has been
snubbed, ignOred-yea, virtually wiped out
by the National Republican Executive Com
mittee. There is nothing left Of it-eXcept
a name. 1t has no standing except with a
few distinguished gentlemen who meet TO
adOpt soul-stirring resolutions, but whose
distinguished services have been summSrily
declined. They can fool around IN tie
States under the guidance OF the State Cen.
trial Committees, but they must keep entirely
OF the track OF the National Committee.
This is sad disappointment 10 the young
sterS. They were going % show the "Old
unsr how 10 run the canvass. They had
built up a nice mqchlne OF over five thousand
cluDs, containing over seven hundred and
fifty thousand members, and, OF course, the
National Executive Committee treated their
representatives very politely. They received
them most cordially.
They conferred every time the leaguers
wished 10 csuier, and that was saving great
deal When II came right down 10 business
The National Executive Committee, IN sport
ing parlance, hit the National League In the
neck. II was done by resolution ignoring
the National League entirely, and only re-
commenting to the several State Central
Committees that the State leagues be Teeog-
nized and helped, II It is deemed advisable
TO help them.
THEIR FONDEsT HOPES DECAY.
It was not until tue abused young men
read the Herald Yesterday that they realized
what that resolution meant.
The National League will not be Iecog-
nized by the Republican national organi-
cation in any way. shape, or manner.
The abused young men took IL out in
sicky smiles and IN saying, swell, they re-
ceiyed us with open arms anyway" That's
true, they Rugged them TO death.
The Executive Committee was at IL again
yesterday Ia the psror OF the Fifth Avenue
Hotel. Secretary, senator, and Chairman
Fassett put 10 fun days work keeping track
of the Windy speeches Of GARRISON, Fessen-
den, New & Co. Every other line In Mr..
Fassett's minutes was as follows: Il met
to-day 4 red hot 1884 Cleveland man who
tells me be Is going to vote for Harrlson and
protection" This speech was credited to
New Js5 times; Carlson. 1888 times; Good
loe, 32S times. and Fessenden. two times.

sional TTisbmen called on the committee TO
"makc arrangements" They suspected u
was known what they were after, 20 the first
thing they said VISA that they did not want
aid oi any Kind. They were only IN the In.
terest Of harmony, seeking unity OF action
with the body % Irish.Americans whose
representatives called on tue committee the
night before.
This body meant eighty thousand In the
State, they said. and thirty thousand in the
city. Ii Is little early yet, but when the
barrels are tapped these figures will swell to
eight millions in the State and three hundred
thousand In the city. They always do. As
the gentleman who made the speech Is known
to re m .he pay OF the committee bis remarks
were highly edilylng.
After getting rid OF the profess ionals the
committee turned 10 the amateurs and issued
order after order TO organizers to gather
them in. I'm the usual manner. They ground
away until there was nothing 10 do but to
90 out and take \ ride on the pretence OF
finding several houses for permanent head
quarters.
Before adjourulng It was decided 10 knock
of work awhile. Quay keeps away. and
why shouldn't the rest go hshingy Secre-
tary Fassctt, who has done all the real work,
was about used up by night. He said be
wanted a rest for fortnight. and chance
to see II Dave Hill IL slIve yet. Fessendsn
also wanted to get away.
AZ an adjournment was inevitable, and II
would not DO 70 let the machine run down,
Messrs. ClaTksOn, Fessenden, New, Hobart,
and Dudley were appointed a subcommittee
to act for the committee during two weeks
recess.
DIVIDING THE WORK.
Other committees were appointed as fol-
lows:
For Organization in Minnesota, Dakota,
