WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 27.-The Re
publican national committee met here to-
day for permanent organization and
elected William J. Campbell of Illinois,
Chairman NJ. II. De Young of San Fran
cisco, Vice-chairman; Thomas ii. Carter of
Montana, Secretary. Cornelius N. Bliss of
New York, Treasurer, and II. L. Swords of
Iowa, Sergeant-atarms. There was IL very
full attendance of the committee, and all
the officers chosen are understood to have
the full approval Of President Harrison.
Az the outset there was disposition mani
Tested to re.elect General Clarkson, but hc
made brief speech deprecating such u
course under the circumstances, which are
explained in his speech.
FAssErr NoNiHATEs cIARKsoH.
After the roll had been called. showing
the presence. either III person or by proxy,
Of all the members of the committee ex-
eept those of Nevada Wyoming and Okla.
hoiun, J. Sloat Fassett of New York. took
the tioor and placed in nomination for
permanent chairman General J. S. Clark
son OF Iowa, saying
~ shall endeavor to detain you but few
minutes hope that what | shall have
to say to-day will bear more fruit than
what had TO say the last time | had the
honor of appearing in this room before
tins committee i'll behalf of New York
city asking for the national convention.
Much as was interested in my subject at
the time | am much more deeply inter
ested in my subject to-day. When the
doors closed on the Minneapolis conyen
ton, ! am glad 10 believe that it closed on u
united party.
1T would be folly to say that great
many friends of Mr. Blaine we're not dis-
appointed, but, like their leader, they wefr
loyal. true Republicans, and immediately
upon the nomination in that convention
they became ardent supporters of the adj
mlnistratlon. We all feel that we are
entering on no holiday excursion; that we
are entering upon Il contest which will nut
70 his best inettle every Republican IN the
United States.
AN APPALLING SPECTACLE.
I'VE are confronted at the outstart with
the appalling spectacle of Wisconsin and
Illinois IN the list of doubtful states, and
Iowa by no means certain; with religious
differences rifle i'll the northwest, and n
threatened coalition Of the Democracy
with the Alliance. The Democrats have
nominated, to my mind, the strongest man
they could have placed in the field,
especially SO fur as the IS electoral votes in
New York are concerned.
1T is now important that we should pro-
coed TO select u chairman according to our
best judgment. We cannot afford through
personal preference tn turn our shoulders
10 one single iota of strength. We must
win the support Of all Republicans. No
distinctions should be made on account of
past differences. But you will all agree
with me so far as this condition Of affairs
IS concerned. We are selected Republicans
here, representing six or seven millions of
Republican voters in the United States.
we are IN a desperate fight, but we are in
u TO WIN. And for that purpose we must
have the support of our best leaders,
Mr.. Fassetts remarks were several times
interrupted by applause, and it was speci-
any hearty and enthusiastic when refer
ence was made TO MIR. Clarksons eminent
services III the campaign of 1855.
GENERAL oLARKsoH's REPLY.
AS MIR. Fassett took his seat General
GARRISON arose aud said:
