Mr. Harrison's visit TO New York this week, !
while ostensibly for the purpose Of attending
the laying Of the corner stone oil the Grant
monument, is in reality for the purpose OF
settling the question of his candidacy for re-
nomination. He will carry With him the two
men who were taken into the cabinet solely to
bring about his denomination Secretary Fos-
ter has just returned from Ohio, where be
went to lay Harrison wires, and there is rea
son for believing, althoush he maintains to
the c2ntrary, that he found the anti Harrison
sentiment too strong for him, and that the Ohio
delegation will go to Minneapolis uninstructed.

Mr. Harrison with having been in league with
the money power lobby - defeat the free
coinage bill in the House, he knocked the
bottom out Of very nice little scheme which
Mr. Harrison has been concocting for election
eering purposes by offering resolution,
which was adopted by the senate, calling up
on the president for information as TO what
steps have been taken toward the holding OF
an International monetary conference. and Tor
copies of all correspondence with governments
invited TO participate therein. Senator Sher-
man made a hole for Mr. Harrison TO crawl

known that Mr. Harrison has had secret agents
l at work for months trying TO get the European
governments to aeree 10 take part in such
e conference. and it is said that they have sue
ceeded in getting number Of them to do so,
and that the conference Is 10 be held when j,
