Crawford avalanche. (Grayling, Mich.) 1879-19??, 1892-09-15

L
nishes to the newspaper callers, whose
name is legion, sundry bits or lnfor-
nation calculated to cheer the DEM
ocratic heart, carefully written out
on slips of paper and man:folded SO
that all who will may make use or
them. This work Is performed at
the Republican headquarters in the
front basement room, where the
newspaper callers are duly entertain |
ed and furnished with such choice In |
formation as will lead the public to
believe that Republican success Is as
sured.
Upstairs, where comparatively few
people penetrate, the grand moguls or
the committee, chairmen and their
private secretaries, working members
of the committee and their aids, have
their desks, and are hard at work.
Each of the rooms is filed up with
! all the necessary Office paraphernalia,
| including tppewriters and the stem
ographer attachment. Easy chairs
and sofas are also here, so that either
of the chairman can lie down II they
| hear anything during the campaign
that makes them tired. Messrs. Har-
rity and Carter both have well-htted
private rooms of of each Of their
main offices, beyond the threshold OF
which very few go. 1t Is In these
rooms they meet their party leaders
In strictly private confab.
The man who wants TO see tnem
| must send his card and take his turn,
and unless his business is very impor-
tant he must make his call brief,
and talk straight to the point. Each
man has his own sphere OF action.
One has the question Of organization
of clubs, another has charge or cam
paign speakers, another has the SUI
perintendence OF the preparation or
the literature with which the cam
paign of education" is to be carried
on, the treasurer has charge OF the
distribution OF funds, the finance
committee has the more Important
work of raising the funds, and so the
work goes on, each man with his
corps of assistants in general charge
of his particular field, but all con-
sulting one with the other, and all
together on general questions OF
policy and general lines OF work and
the development of the campaign.
Neither Of the two leaders or the
opposing national committees was
known outside of his own State when
the last Presidential battle was
fought. Both are young men, and In
their youthful vitality and energy
a possess a valuable campaign equip
y ment. In manner and physique they
/. are in striking contrast. William L,

: titan, with tall, well-built, ano

: pleasant face. He won whateye
