FROM the NATIONAL CAPITAL,

President Harrison's visit to New
York this week, while ostensibly Tor
the purpose OF attending the laying OF
the cornerstone Of the Grant monu-
ment. ia in reality Cor the purpose oil
settling the question OF his candidacy
for a denomination. He will carry
with him the two men who were taken
into the cabinet solely 10 bring about
his ACCOMPLISHMENTS Foster
and Elkins--and while there these POI
l;t;cal manipulators will meet the Re
publican bosses Of New York and other
States and try to make bargains with
them. Secretary Foster has just re-
turned from Ohio, where he went to
lay Harrison wires, and there Is reason
for believing. although he maintains to
the contrary, that he found the anti
Harrison sentiment too strong Tor him.
and that the Ohio delegation will go
10 Minneapolis uninstructed. With
such States AS Pennlylvania and OHIO
sending ininstructed delegations. II be-
comes necessary for Mr.. Harrison to
capture the New Yerksdele asion or
throw up the sponge.
Senator Teller Of Colorado is doing
all he knows how to do to make HIM
s,lf disagreeable to the administration
Not satisfied with charging MIR. Ha n.
son with having been in league with

knocked the bottom out OF very nice
little scheme which Mr.. Harrison has
been connecting 70, electioneering pur'
poses by offering resolution. which
was adopted Ivy the Senate, calling
upon the President for information a'
10 what steps have been taken toward
the holding OF an international mon
etary conference, and for copies OF ai
correspondence with governments in
vited to participate therein. Senat"
Sherman made hole for Mr.. Harr'
son To crawl out by amending the re'
oluiion by adding eli not incompatible
with the public interests" but MI
Teller intimates that Mr.. Harriso
would better not try to make use oil !
It;sk known that Mr.. Harrison has ha
secret agents at work for months tr.
ing to get the European government
TO agree to take part in such a comic
ence, and il is said that they have su
ceeded in getting number OF them
do an. and that the conference Is to
held when il will do the Republics
party the most good-just before q
election, when all sorts OF promises Ct
be made ~ to what il viii do.
Senator Palmer OF Illinois has
nonnced himself candidate Tor I
Presidential nomination, and he 81
he will endeavor TO secure the supp
of the entire Illinois delegation.
Some gossip has been caused by
report that Mr.. Blaine Was VI
brusane in his refusal OF the inyitati
10 accompany Dir. Harrison and
instrumentation party which is to &c
New York 10 take part IN laying
corner stone of the Grant monnme
Mr.. Blaine is at least consistent--th
was never any love displayed by |
for General Grant in his lifetime,
he declines to make q pretense
pyer his grave.

form adopted by the Indiana DE
cratic convention: at is sound I
form, embracing tariff reform al
currency of gold aud silver and i
tender paper tgreenbacks> on an eq
i.y with each other. This Is the
Democratic platform, and no new
parture toward Wall street, He
that the State ticket is a splendid
with a practical farmer at It's h
and that it is certain to sweep
state into the Democratic eolumn
year.
