THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
Work to BE Pushed ny Roth rartie. From
Now On.

Chairman Carter Of the republican national
committee has returned 10 New York after
spending nearly week in Washington in con-
sultation with President Harrison. Al he would
say was that he had a pleasant time in WASH
ington and was ready TO get to work at
the headquarters. When asked about the
Presidents proposed witt 20 New York this
week he said he really knew nothing.
1t is the general impression among politicians
that Mr.. Carriers visit to Washington had not
resulted in patching up peace between the
President and Platt and Miller II was said that
Mr. Carter would at once bring the national
executive committee together to look over the
situation in New York.
Secretary Lewis L. McComas of the national
committee went to his home in MARYLAND Satur-
day. When he returns he will bring his family
with him.

and attention to the work.
Congressman Catchings of Mississippi MEM
Der OF the committee on rules OF this Congress,
speaking Of the democratic outlook saws:
The democrats appear TO be hopeful every
where. The south is all right. The third party
movement there may affect some congressional
districts. but II will not affect the electoral
voc. Cleveland will get the solid south. The
democratic ticket is strong in the south and no
fear need be entertained about southern states
which republicans affect to count as doubtful"
The democratic state committee will meet at
the Hoffman House next Friday night A fun
attendance II expected and there is little doubt
that Daniel q. Griffin of WATERFOWL will be Sc

THE LEAGUE OF CLUBS
new visitors register has been opened at the
republican national headquarters OF the first
four names inscribed three of the visitors we're
from Illinois. Robert p. Worral James X. Ma
gill and W. W. Tracy. president of the Illinois
State League of Republican Clubs, who has
been spoken of as possible successor 10 Gen
Clarkson as president of the National League OF
Republican Clubs.
Mr.. Tracy said, concerning the matter: Il
have every reason to believe that Gen. Clark
son will succeed himself as president Of the ma
tional league. He has served the league well
ana VIII, believe. be Its unanimous choice"
ILLINOIS REPUBLICANS.
Mr.. Tracy also announced that in addition TO
Whitelaw Reid. who had already consented 10
address the Illinois state league at its convep-
ton TO be held at Springfield on August IL. he
had just received word from Congressman J.
c. burrows of Michigan and Congressman j.
7. Dolliver of Iowa that they would be present
and speak on The occasion. Mr.. Tracy added
there was every reason to believe thai Illinois
would give from $1,000 to 10000 republican
ma ority this fall. He said that the diversified
interests of his state gave the farmer an OPP
portunity to perceive some of the practical re-
suits of protection. and they would increase
their majority over that of four years ago.
The uncertainty Of the foreign vote i'm Chi
cago is the only factor which may initiate
against republican success in the future" said
Mr.. Tracy. The preponderance OF foreign
population in that city is simply overwhelm-
ing. The figures of the last census show that
the Amerioan-boiV population is only 1872, 46s.
while the German-born citizens alone number
3Si.95s. Then come the Irish. 2l5.534: b.

10000; Italian, 10000, with the balance made
up of Welsh. Roumanians, Huns, Canadians,
Swiss, Belgians and Others
The facility with which a great American
city can assimilate this vast accession of peo-
pie. for the most part ignorant Of our form Of
government, Ia astonishing, but it is becoming
so diSproportionate as 10 be q matter of serious
consideration"
