President Harrison does not want to ride
down Pennsylvania avenue with Democrat
on March next The President. therefore
desires that harmony shall exist all along the
line, especially in New York and Indiana
This harmony will prevail II the Presidents
efforts are successful. How It Is to be brought
about, or when. no one seems to know Ger
tainly the Republicans with whom the Presi-
dent has consulted In the last week are not
aware. but they have faith In tho Presidents
determination to bring about smooth rela-
lions. and in his ability to do It. Should the
Republicans Of New York State. now at the
helm, decline to entor into the spirit OF the
Presidents policy the responsibility VIII rest
upon Thorn. and not upon him. But 1t is not
believed that they will refuse to Join hands
with the President
The conferences between the President ana
Chairman Carter. ex-Chairman Clarkson. Col
lector Hendricks. ]. N. Huston OF Indiana ana
others have led to all sorts Of reports. Private
kilograms have reached New York to the ef-
feet that the President was in an offlsh mood.
and that there was little probability that he
and the New Workers could come to an UNDER
standing. The reverse. 1t Is now said. was the
truth. The President was not offlsh. 1t Is de-
clared. These recent conferences were vastly
different in character than those the Presi-
dent had with Gen. Clerkson and others Just
after the Minneapolis Convention. On the
first visit of Gen. Clark son to the White House
after that event the President was not particu-
larly affable. He wanted frank statement from
the General Of the reasons why Clarkson. Platt,
Miller. Filloy. Foraker. and others had opposed

The President was very much more aflable
to Gen. Clarkson on this visit. and 1t was said
yesterday. that Gen. Clarkson had abandoned
his intention to rasign from the committee:
Had he resigned the Hon; Sam Fessenden OF
Connecticut and the Hon. Joseph II. Manley OF
Maine. and possibly one or two others. might
have resigned With him. .,,,, ;,,.,,. ,u.

Hendricks. Both are hardheaded politicians.
