Especial to THE HERALD-ExaminerD Dispatch
New YORK, Feb. "a World
special from Washington says: a
well authenticated story in circulation
here states in express terms that an or
ganize61 movement within the Republi-
can ranks to prevent the denomination of
President Harrison now exists, and is sup
ported in influential quarters from New
York to San Francisco. 1t already has the
covert countenance of the Republican ma
tional executive committee, and very
shortly, as the story goes, it is to have the
open and active support of influential Re
publican papers in New York, Chicago,
st. Louis, Denver and San Francisco. AS
yet no attempt has been made to agree upon
an opposition candidate. The organization
contains friends of Mr.. Blaine, friends of
Speaker Reed, friends OF Senator Allison,
friends of Mr.. Mckinley and friends of
Robert T. Lincoln. The animating pur-
pose is to make the denomination of Gen
eral Harrison impossible. After that shall
have been accomplished, then the PROPOSE
tion of uniting upon the strongest man Tor
the race will be taken up.
The controlling spirits of the Republican
national executive committee are Messrs.
Quay, Clarkson, Dudley and Fessenden.
President cordially; every one of
them has been snubbed repeatedly
by him. Mr.. Quay has not been in the
White House but twice in twelve months;
Colonel Dudley never goes there, and Mr..
Clarkson and Mr.. Fessenden have long
since given up asking any favDrs whatever
of the President. AS committee men, they
are doing nothing as yet, but as individuals
they are leaving no stone unturned to en-
courage opposition to the President. The
party workers are everywhere looking to-
ward the President as colo and migrate
full man, who has shown no appreciation of
the services of the men who put him in
Office. a prediction accompanies these
| statements to the effect that if he should be
put up again palsy would fall on the
| party organization everywhere, resulting
in defeat as overwhelming as that the
party suffered at the last election The
necessity of a radically different candidate
is insisted upon, and the views of local
| leaders are solicited. Shortly as a supple
ment to all this, there is to begin news
/ paper agitation of the subject of the best
man for 1892. New York and Denver are
/ just now the objective points Of the men
behind this movement They want news
paper in each OF these cities pledged to the
reputation of General Harrison. They
are afraid to trust the case in New York &c

favor, the duty of that newspaper would
at least be divided. In Denver there is the
necessity of newspaper to voice the dis
content expressed here by Senators Teller
and Wolcott, and likewise TO more
thoroughly organize the silver sentiment
in that section. AS the case now stand.
the President, Notwithstanding his anti
silver attitude, has the best of it in Colo
RADIO. The Denver Republican is owned
and controlled by ex-senator Hill, who has
just been made by the President a member
of the International Monetary commission
and in return for that favor is now declar
ing that the President must be re nomi
mated. This influence must be met in tn
same way, and of course the only way vii
be by the establishment of an opposition
newspaper. In Chicago, St. Louis ant
San Francisco the field, so far as the pres
is concerned, is considered to be in a mos
satisfactory condition. Neither the Tribune
Globe Democrat, nor Chronicle owes any
thing to the administration on persona
grounds, and, all three being origina
Blaine organs, are expected to improve thu
first seemly opportunity to declare TO
their old favOrite again. The fact IS tina
all three of them have virtually done sc
and in way to indicate, that, if necessary
they will embark on an open anti-Harriso
campaign.
