HARRISON TO BE KNIFED.
PLATT, QUAY AND WOLCoTT TO
CUT HIM IN NOVEMBER.

The National Committee Also Dead
Against the Ticket-New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, Indiana, and
Wisconsin Already Conceded TO the
Democrats by the Kicking Repub-
lican Bos Ses.
CHICAGO. ILL, June 12.-Ex-SenRtor
Platt, Senator Quay and Senator Wolcott,
who arrived here to-day on their way east
have not kissed the rod that smote them on
Friday and do not intend to. In their con-
versation they show no signs of loving Har-
rison any the better for the Christening they
received from him. In fact their private
remarks about the ticket nominated at
Minneapolis are not suitable for publica-
ton. Boss Platt and Senator Quay, being
politic persons with senatorial aspirations,
will probably confine their efforts to make
good their predictions that President Harri-
son cannot, as against Mr.. Cleveland,
carry New York, New Jersey
Connecticut. Indiana or Wisconsin,
to the employment of the silent stiIletto.
Senator Quay in particular, who has ever
counted Pennsylvania as a DOUBTFUL state if
President Harrison and Mr.. Cleveland should
be nomina ed, will be obliged to be very
circumspect with Chris Magee watching
him. Boss Platt and Senator Quay and all
the other disappointed bosses, down 60
Gov. Bulkeley of Connecticut, who in one
delegation headquarters after another
solemnly declared that President Harrison
would not carry Connecticut, will have
abundant opportunity to make good their
word between now and November.
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
For one thing, they control the national
committee and will either re-elect Clarkson
chairman or some other anti Harrison man
at Washington next Monday week. OF
course the executive committee will be
made up Of Harrisonians, because upon it
will fall the management Of the campaign
But the national committee. as such, will be
dead weight on the ticket.
That eloquent Hotspur, Senator Wolcott,
however feels no such restraint as that
which muZzles Senator Platt and Boss
Quay. He has his state behind him, having
been assured by his Colorado delegation at
Chicago that his reelection to the Senate
was as good as accomplished. and he feels
free to say what he thinks. He proposes to
say it first from his place in the Senate in a
speech which will probably be delivered
next week, in which he will describe the
Minneapolis convention as he saw It,
dwelling especially in scathing terms on the
participation Of federal officeh olders in it
from the President down to the postmasters
aud to the promises of patronage made by
the representatives of the administration.
REVISING THE LIST.
He is revising the list of office holders
present at the convention as delegates or
workers referred to in bis speech Thursday
night, so as to make it absolutely correct
and specific as to both names and salaries,
and will present it in his speech. He claims
that between 500 and 600 office holders were
present, their annual salaries aggregating
between half million and three-quarters
or million dollars year. 1t Ia note worthy
that Mr.. Cleveland is the only democrat
who is mentioned by these republican
bosses in connection with the defeat of
Of President Harrison, for which they are
looking aud hoping, if not praying.
