Harrison Will Not Take the Stump-The
Western, Labor Bitterly Opposed to Har-
rison on Account of His Record on
the Chinese Understanding
About the Free Trade
Scare-Crcw.

! NEW YORK, September 19.-Much
curiosity is expressed about Harrison 5
; probable movements during the can
vass. Many Republicans think if he
would speak in the East he would help
! his party greatly. Bat such DO not
seem to be the views taken by Senator
Quay. At the Republican headquarters
! to-day it was authoritatively announced
that General Harrison would stay at
home until after the election unless
something extraordinary should occur.
Harrison himself is said to have eX-
pressed to the national committee a
desire to speak in New York, but Quay
still believes in the "don't talk" motto
for candidates.
Committeeman Clarkson said to-day
that Colonel Gray had not expressed
doubts about thee bility of the Repub-
licans to carry New York, as was re-
ported in a Pittsburg dispatch. Colonel
| Bryce and National Committeeman W.
l.. Scott Richardson, Of Iowa, and
Honey, of Rhode Island, were at head
quarters this morning. Mr.. Richardson
| will stay here until after the election.
| MORE THAN A FIGHTING CHANCE FOR
! DEMOCRATS.
\ caller at headquarters to-day who
brought good cheer with him was
James O. Nelson, of the Democratic
state committee of Wisconsin. Mr..
Nelson recently travelled through his
| own state. Indiana and Illinois. He
said: "There is more than a fighting
| chance for Democrats in Wisconsin.
| Farmers of the interior are alive to the
| importance of the tariff issue, and tariff
literature is eagerly sought for and
read. In Indiana I saw that the labor
sentiment was
VERY BITTER AGAINST II HARRISON.
! His anti-Chinese utterance in his letter
of acceptance does not offset his record
on the Chinese matter. Greenbackers
are opposed to him, too, as he has bit
terly opposed them"
There was meeting of the National
Democratic headquarters this morning
!: between Colonel Bryce and Earmali
Oelrichs, representing the National
committee, and J.J. ODonohue, Wal
ter Stanton and Major McNulty, rep
rcsenting the combined Business Mems
Cleveland and Thurman Clubs, of New
York, to arrange for
AMAss MEETING TO BE HELD
on the steps Of the sub-trcasury build
ing, on October 6, Secretary Fairchild,
Congressman Wilson and others have
been asked to speak at the meeting. j..
J. O'Donohue is enthusiastic about the
success Of the Business Mems Cleve-
land Clubs. "Our business men, said
he, went pretty strongly for Cleveland
in 1884, but they admire him now
more than ever, on account of his in
tccrity, his conservatism, and his busi-
ncss sense. They feel that business is
safe while he is the chief executive.
do not know how many thousand are
enrolled in the down town club, but L
am confident our meeting on October 6
will he the greatest affair Of the kind
that New York has seen in late Years.
! We will show the rest of the people
that the business men at New York
are not to be scared by
THE FREE TRADE SCARE-CROW
which the Republicans have rugged
out"
J. J. Richardson, member Of the Ma
tlonal Committee for Iowa, was q
visitor at the National Democratic
headquarters to-day. In speaking OF
the situation he said: "The situation
is very hopeful indeed, not only in
Iowa, but in several Northwestern
States, and | believe more than one of
our Weste. 'ateS will De found in the
Democratic ranks III November. In
that section of country there is
i GREAT DEMAN y FOR TARIFF LITERA'
TCRE,
and the people are studying that sub,
ject as they never studied it before
The change is more pronounced in ag'
ricultural districts among the farmers
than in large cities, and, as far as can
learn, the farmers seem to be the
strongest allies of President Cleveland
and the Democratic party, and the
/. Republican free trade scare has faller
tiat.n
