ton.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-The triangle
formed by the Arlington, the red
house and the white house, is Just
now the most interesting political figure in
the country. The fact that this was the
Sabbath did not prevent the national COM
nitteemeu and other republican statesmen
from running from point to point all day
and evening. The President went to
church in the morning and Secretary
Blaine did not, but otherwise they spent the
day very much alike in receiving their re-
spective friends among the visiting states
meu. Neither made any formal declara-
ton in favor of any particular city, for OBJ
vious reasons, but their friends all know
that they prefer the west, that Secretary
Blaine does not care where it is in the west.
and that President Harrison does not want
it at either Chicago or Cincinnati. If they
did not know this latter fact in any other
way Russell B. Harrison, who haunts the
Arlington, would keep them informed of it.
THE EAR IN FULL BLAST.
At the Arlington the bar ran on full time
all day and all the evening, but less intoxi-
cation was apparent than last night Per-
haps this was due to the fact that the Cali
fornia champagne and the private side
boards at the other headquarters were closed
Us a mark of respect to the day. The talk
went right on, though, publicly and pri-
vately. The juuta of managing committee
men held several conferences behind locked
doors in Chairman Clarkson's rooms, but if
they came TO a conclusion, they did not tell
their colleages on the committees generally.
1t was stated however that they had deter
mined not to let New York or San Fran
cisco get the convention, aud were in favor
of either Chicago or Cincinnati, preferring
the latter. Certainly some Of the shrewdest
members OF the committee pl edict that Gin
cinnati will get 1t.
COST OF THE CONVENTION.
Whichever city is selected will have made
in some terms such an offer as San Francis
co has made to pay the Indebtedness of the
rational committee. This seems to be one
Of the essential conditions. Chairman
Clarkson would, of course, blankly or per-
haps indignantly deny it, but the monetary
considerations have been kept prominently
at the front in all the delegations All the
contending cities are not 80 noted for lavish
expenditures as San Francisco, all would not
be expected 10 pay $4,000 to the commit
tee, but the successful one will have to pay
half of this sum il not more. The national
committee must be honest and pay its debt
If it has to take this meaas to pay the
money, or "boodle'' as its western members
call it.
FORAKER ONE OF THE SHINING LIGHTS.
Ex-Gov. Foraker, who arrived to-day,
and who is the biggest man at the Arling-
ton, where his brother Blaine men are Civ
ing him great attention, has made Cincin-
natiunexpectedly prominent. At the same
time the trans Mississippi combination looms
up formidably, and Minneapolis is thought
TO be most likely to profit if it wins.
The New Workers, headed by Senator
Hscock and Col. Elliott f. Shepard, who
seems to have forgotten what day it was,
ma themselves ridiculous by waiting
Oh Chairman Clarkson and solemning re-
preaching him for having, as they alleged,
listened to an offer made by
Editor DeYoung for San FRANCISCO to
pay the S40, 600 estimated indebtedness of the
national committee if the convention was
given to San Francisco. Chairman Clark
son got mad and told them that he wac not
present when any such offer was made
that 1t was none of their business any way,
and that their visit was insulting, and ne
ended by showing them the door. No
doubt is entertained that the offer was
made, but Chairman Clarkson's action is
nevertheless commended by his colleagues
generally who will see that what little
chance New York had is destroyed.
SAN FRANCISCO THROWN OUT.
AT midnight the last conference of the
lunta of the national committee broke up.
1t had then determined that no free trans
portation or free entertainment schemes
Should be considered. This shuts out San
francisco and leaves the Californians very
angry. New York, Detroit and Pistsburg
We're already thrown out by the junta.
cincinnati, Minneapolis, Chicago and
omaha in the order named are left. but. ex-
c;ept that 1t seems from what the junta
cropped more likely to go to Cincinnati or
minneapolis than anywhere else. nothing
cah De safely ventured as prediction.
CHENEY ON HAND.
Ex-Gov. Cheney arrived this evening had
conversation with President Harrison and
another with Senator Chandler, and will re-
present New Hampshire in the nationa
committee Tomorrow, voting probably for
minneapolis or Omaha. He refused to talh
tor publication about the current belief
mat he will be Secretary Proctor's successor
Out privately intimates that he is willing.
BOSS BUCK LYING Low.
Boss Buck isshere, more secretive than
usual, but while mixing with the crowd at
Lhe Arlington Tonight he gave out that he
would represent Georgia in the committee
meeting. Beyond being for the admins
rstlon and anti-Blaine, he did not seem tc
Know which city he would prefer. He is
supposed to be waiting to hear the last
arguments.
