The Leaders Chat Confidently at tho Fifth
Avenue Hotel.
NEW YORK, March 4-The leaders Of
the Republican party in this State held
very important conference at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel in this city last evening. IL
lasted from o'clock until nearly mid
night and was devoted entirely TO dis
cussion of the best means of achieving sue
cess in the coming national elections.
Secretary of the Navy Tracy and Sena-
tor Hiscock came over from Washington
early in the evening. After dinner they
adjourned to parlor ID. r., where Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew. j. Sloat Fassett, Cornelius
y. Bliss, State Senator Erwin, Collector
Hendricks Postmaster Van Cott, William
Brookfield, ex-senator Platt, Senator His
cock and several other well-known leaders
Of the party joined them.
The discussion was informal. Every
one present was as eager TO hear the views
of the others as TO express his own. A
majority of the conference believed that
the denomination of President Harrison
was probable, although a number of ex-
pressions favorable TO other candidates
were mace.
One of the most prominent Republican
leaders present at the conference person
ally advocates the nomination of Secretary
Rusk. whose magnificent record as COVER
nor of Wisconsin and whose gallant war
service would fitly represent the rugged
honesty of Western Republicanism.
If Mr.. Morton retires Secretary Tracy is
regarded as one of the strongest candi-
dates for ce-president the party could
name.
After the conference was over one Of the
leaders said "You know that until a
month ago / was in favor of Blaine as the
candidate and business as the platform
protection and reciprocity. We can win
with any good candidate, but l think
Harrison is the man."
