SENATOR QUAY CONFIRMED
Mr.. Clarkson Says the Chairman Has
Announced His Intention to Resign.
Sherman's and FOraker's Candidacy for the
Ohio enatorship-Senseless Jabber Of
the Kansas Alliance Bureau.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Mr. Clarkson was
to-day shown the dispatch in the morning
papers, purporting to quote Senator Quay's
words. stating that he had decided to re-
sign the chairmanship of the Republican
national committee Immediately after the
election. Mr.. Clarkson said: II am able
to state that this is true. Immediately
after the election Senator Quay informed
his colleagues of the executive committee
that he desired to resign as chairman; that
he did not desire to do the detail
work and have the detail correspondence
OF a political committee. and stili more
ought not to be the chairman of national
committee, or any political committee.
His colleagues ON the committee resisted
this and persuaded him not to resign. He
renewed the wish three or four months
afterward. and about the time of the in
auguration insisted upon 1t with great
deal of determination. The judgment or
the committee was opposed to 1t, and the
members were unanimous in the desire that
the organization which had gone through
great struggle. and which had performed
great work, maintaining absolutely har-
monious relations and the members become
endeared to each other thereby. should re-
main unbrOken until replaced by the new
national committee created by the next
national convention of the party.
II can say distinctly that the Senator
was very positive in his desire to retire.
the advice and appeal of his colleagues.
His health was frail at times and he de-
sired to be rid of the burden superimposed
by these details of q national committee.
which are much larger in the intervals OF
O campaign than is generally supposed. In
the dullest time the chairman of the ma
ti0nal committee receives an average of
hundred letters day. which he has to an
swer. When his health failed in the Sem
ate. and he went to Florida on his fishing
tour. he stated to me then his unalterable
determination to resign"
Mr.. ClarksoD. in the interview. spoke in
the highest terms of praise regarding SEN
ator Quay, for whom he had high regard,
affection and respect.

Hair-Brained Alliance Stories.

TOPEKA. Kan. July COP. b. Maxon,
chairman of the finance committee Iof the
Farmers Alliance. is preparing a circular
to be sent to every Alliance lecturer in the
State. fortifying him with alleged facts TO
show that the country is going TO ruin at
lightning speed. It is part of the edaca-
tiOnal campaign, and will be operated after
the same manner the discussion of the
sub-treasury plan. Mr.. Naxon will attempt
to show that for 3S3 years the annual gold
product has only averaged S.OO53 per cap
tia. and that the Liverpool market controls
the world. He Will also urge that the
farmers are getting less each year for their
products. He will also seek To show THAT
the increase in population for the past ten
years in the United States 10 smaller In pro-
portion than for any ten years preceding.
He argues from this that. unless there is n
speedy change, the United States will be
depopulated. This material will be given
to the lecturers for publication and Gistri-
button In about two weeks.
