HARRISON'S DIPLOMACY.
He Fills All Visitors with the
 Hope of Uncertainty.
A FRIEND OF ORGANIZED LABOR.


 Labor to be Fully Recognized in Public
 Appointments-variet of Visitors. !, INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-New York wants the public printing office, and half score of Hoosier aspirants for the place stand aghast at the audacity of the east. If they knew all that Gen. Harrison said yesterday to c. K. Michael, of Brooklyn, Typo graphical union man. they would tremble as we'll as stand aghast. Mir. Michael came here in the interest of Mr. Lowis Payne, who is foreman in The New York Press office, and who wants to be public printer. Mir. Michael called upon Gel. Harrison dur ing the afternoon, and had thirty-fve min ute talk with him.
 He told Gen. Harrison that MT. Payne was a solid man with the typographical union, and intimated that the candidacy was in- dorsed by the New York branches of the na- tional union. He came away happy, not only over what he thought were the good chances of Mr. Payne, but over some re- marks that Gen. Harrison made to him upon the subject of organized labor that were rather unexpected and very interesting.
 Mir. Michael was very discreet in speaking OA Cucoc hS, dtiu IcAuSoN Co QuOCo CuCfA, but he said the substance was that Gen. Har- rison told him that in making his appoint ments in government offices he proposed to recognize organized labor whenever 1t was practicable to do so and that in such appoint ments as that of public printer personal con- alterations would have no weight whatever in determining the choice of the man.
 Another thing that MT. Michael says Gen Harrison said was that, in his opinion, the qualifications necessary to enable man to properly fill the office of public printer were equal to those required for pace in the | cabinet Mir. Michael did not seem to think this remark at all discouraging so far as Mir. Payne's chances are concerned There Is no doubt that if lived up to, it will be the death knell to the ambitions of Col. William Hollo- way and Capt. Meredith, and even to those | of Editor Brown, the son-in-law of Riley Mo. Keen.
 | After his visit at Gen. Harrison's house, Mr. Michael was entertained at 0 banquet by party of Indianapolis printers, and was sent home on an early evening train. 1 L. Bradford Prince, formerly a justice of the supreme court in New Mexico, and a lecturer and writer on topics connected with that part of the country, called upon Gen. Harrison and unfolded to him his views upon the admission of New Mexico. He thinks that the territory ought to be let in | A far western visitor, who probably counted for more than the ex-justice, was George Christ, the member of the Republican national committee from Arizona. He was on his way to New Y York and he talked Fed eral patronage and the Norman question into Gen. Harrison for some time. The Nor mons are coming over from Utah into Ari zona at a rate that is alarming the other in, habitants and Mir. Christ thinks something l {o 1>a toll hn hjr,lyS that George Christ is the best man in the world to control the Federal offices in Ari zona. He did not put it to Gen. Harrison i1 just that way, however. What he said was to the effect that "broken down politician: have been pastured out by recent admins trations upon our territory and all think i, is time that our own people should be placed ill charge of affairs"
 Delegate-elect Carter, of Montana ant Delegate-elect Matthews, of Dakota, both o1 their way to Washington, told Gen. Harri son they had little faith in the prospects O. the admission bills before the present con gress, and want special session to be callet to admit the territories in time for them t< have representatives at the regular session next December.
 Hugo Ziemann, of Chicago, came to SC Gen. Harrison upon business which ma, have an important bearing on the success 0 the next administration. MT. Ziemann steward of the Richelieu hotel in Chica 20 and he says he cares not who make up tn cabinet so long as he can make the dinners With his dinners, he is sure that Gen. liar rison's digestion will never get off the trac } and his liver never go back on him; and with these conditions, he believes that Gen
 Harrison couldn't be anything but a cheerfr
 and popular president, if he tried. It is no
 known what success he attained.
