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

So He Announces Himself to an Advance
Agent of a Candidate for Public Printer.
Labor 70 be Fully Recognized in Public
Appointments-vari OF Visitors.
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan - New York wants
the public printing Office, and half a score
of Hoosier aspirants for the place stand
aghast at the audacity of the east IL they
knew all that Gen. Harrison said yesterday
TO c. X. Michael, Of Brooklyn, a Typo
| graphical union man, they would tremble as
| well as stand aghast Mr.. Michael came
here in the interest of Mr. Lewis Payne,
who is foreman in The New York Press
Office. and who wants 80 be public printer.
Mr.. Michael called upon Con Harrison dur
ing the afternoon, and had a thirty-dve min
ute talk with him.
He told Gen. Harrison that Mr.. Payne was
a solid man with the typographical union,
and intimated that the candidacy was in
dorsed by the New York branches Of the ma
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.
Mr. Michael was very discreet In speaking
OF these remarks, and refused to quote them,
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 IL was
practicable to do So and that in such appoint
ments as that Of public printer personal con
siderations would have no weight whatever
in determining the CHOICE of the man.
Another thing that Mr.. Michael says Gen.
Harrison said was that, in his opinion, the
qualifications neces ;ary to enable a man tc
properly fiji the Office of public printer were
equal TO those required for q place in thS
cabinet Mr. Michael did not seem to thinl
this remark at all discouraging 50 far as Mr.
Payne's chances are concerned There is M
doubt that, il lived up Go, it will be the deati
knell to the amb tions of Col. William Hollo
way and Capt Meredith, and even to thoss
of Editor Brown, the son-in-law Of Riley Nc
Keen.
After his visit at Gen. Harrison's house
Mr. Michael was entertained at a banquet b.
. a party OF indianapolis printers, and wa
sent home on an early evening train.
i. Bradford Prince, formerly a justice o
. the supreme court in New Mexico, and
lecturer and writer on topics connected wit
that part Of the country, called upon-Gen
I. Harrison and unfolded 70 MIN his view
upon the admission Of New Mexico. II
thinks that the territory ought to be let in,
A far western visitor who probabl
i. counted for more thaa the ex-justice WI
George Christ, the member Of the Rapublica
national committee from Arizona. He W.
on his way TO New No.s and he talked Fe
lei. 4 -.
Gen Harrison for sone time The Mo
mons are coming over from Utah into Al
zona at a rate that is alarming the other i
, habitants, and Mr. Christ thinks somethiI
ought TO be done incidentally he thin
b. that George Christ is the best man in IL
world TO control the Federal offices in Al
zona He did nos put it TO Gen. Harrison
Just that way, however. What he said W
TO The effect that broken down politiciai
have been pastured out 10y recent admin
trations upon our territory, and all think
is time that our own people should be placl
in charge of affairs
Delegate-elect Carter, Of Montana al
. Delegate-elect Matthews, of Dakota, both {
their way 10 Washington told Gen. Harl
soi they had little faith in the prospects
the admission bills before the present co
gress. and want a special session TO be CALI
to admit the territories in time for them
have representatives at the regular sessi'
next December.
Hugo Ziemann, Of Chicago, came TO S
Gen Harrison upon business which mi
have an important bearing on the success
re the next administration. Mr.. Ziemann
or steward Of the Richelieu hotel in Chicaa
and he says he cares not who make up t
- cabinet 50 long as he can make the dinner
ce With his dinners he is sure that Gen. Ia
It's rison's digestion will never get off the ira
and his liver never 60 back on him; al
with these conditions, he believes that &c
) Harrison couldn't be anything but a cheeri
and popular president il he tried. II is L
known what success he attained.
