Harrison opens his boom for re-nomina-
ton tonight. At 1910 he commences his
swing around the circle of nine thou
sand miles. John Paupermaker, the post
master general, is the only one of the
cabinet that goes along for tail to the
presidential kite.
Harrison's dislike of newspaper men is
so great that at first he positively refused
to permit any on his train. But at the
last moment he changed his mind, stipulat-
ing that no special correspondent should
be permitted aboard. Hence but three news
paper men were invited, Messrs. Alfred
J. Clarke, of the Associated Press; Richard
V. Oulahan, of the United Press, and Oscar
Z. Austin, of the Press News association.
These gentlemen will furnish the world
with all of the details of the trip that will
find their way into print. They will travel
as guests of the president.
The presidential party, which will start
tonight for the South, will consist of the
President and Mrs. Harrison; Mrs. Mckee,
Mrs. Dimmick. Mr. and Mrs. Russell Har-
rison, Postmaster General Wanamaker,
Marshal Ransdell, Mr.. and Mrs. George w.
Boyd, Mr. f. f. Tibbett, the presidents
stenographer, and Messrs. Clarke, Oulahau
and Austin, the newspaper men. Mr..
Halford will be unable to accompany the
party on account of the state of his wife's
heath. 1t was intended TO take Baby
Mckee along, but in the few requests re-
ceiyed from citizens along the proposed
route special mention or the baby was
made and this made Harrison mad and
he resolved to obtain all the boom there

So the kid is left at home.
Great preparations have been made to
get out crowds a. the principal points. All
the federal officials were written to
weeks ago, and they will be depended on
to get out brass bands and crowds. Said
a Blaine republican tonight:
Harrison may work the officials and
get out crowds and may get renominated,
but believe that the majority of the
people will! not be pleased to see the great
office so diligently sought after by SO
small man."
Huston has finally resigned and Harri-
son has appointed as his successor another
Indiana 10 per cent. banker or, more prop
erly, broker. Harrison regrets that per-
sonal affairs compel Huston to res gn.
Huston's successor, Mr.. Nebeker, was at
the white house during the morning and
afterward he and his private secretary
went over to the treasury department and
were shown by Mr.. Huston over the Office
of the treasurer. The vastness of the re-
sponsibility attached to the position stag
gered the new man somewhat, but he has
nevertheless decided to undertake the Job.
His commission will undoubtedly be
signed to-day. He is a short, stout man,
with a round, somewhat forid face,
marked by q black mustache. He is
about forty.

is as follows: President and Mrs. Har-
rison, Mrs. Mckee, Mrs. Dimmick, Mr..

Ilbbott, the presidents stenographer, and
the representatives of the press. Private
Secretary Halford will remain in Washing
ton on account or the illness of his wife.
