ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-There was great
rejoicing in both the National and State
camps of the Republican organization to-
night over the news that Senator Matthew
Stanley Quay, of Pennsylvania, and ex-
Senator Thomas Collier Platt, of New
York, who have held aloof from active par
ticipation in the Presidential campaign,
have finally picked up their tongs and
Jumped on the Harrison ice wagon along
side General James S. Clarkson, to work
haad-in-hand with Thomas Henry Carter,
from henceforth to November next
Hamilton Disston, of Philadelphia,
brought the news of Mr. Quay's placation
this morning in the shape of letter from
the PENNSYLVANIA Senator to Chairman Car
ter. So happy was the Chairman that,
though he had but just returned from
two days visit to Washington, he posted
off at once to the Quaker City to consult
with the man who so successfully conducted
the Republican campaign in 1888.
What Mr. Quay's message to MI. Carter
contained Mr. Disston would not say. He
did say, however, that it had come to HIM
through David Martin, the national COM
mitteeman for the keystone State Repub-
lIcans, and that it conveyed assurances
which leave no doubt as to Mr. Quay's
loyalty to the Republican Presidential
ticket
Platt's Placation Announced.
The fact that Mr.. Platt's influence in the
Republican party of this State had been
duly recognized by the administration was
officially announced at the State headquar-
tiers in the Fifth Avenue Hotel tonight 1t
was said that Mr.. Platt had an interview with
Chairman Hackett, of the Republican State
Executive Committee, to-day, at which the
Republican leader made the first public
declaration of his attitude toward the ticket
since its nomination at Minneapolis
Mr.. Platt said that he would like an
active part in the campaign in this State,
and would aid the State committee in every
way in his power. Mr.. Hackett expressed
lively satisfaction at this declaration. eff
every professed Republican in the State
were as good partisan as Mr. Platt" said
he, 'there would be little doubt as to the
result" The interview between Mr.. Platt
and Mr.. Hackett was held at Mr. Platt's
downtown Office this afternoon br appoint
ment
An Immediate Eject Noticeable.
The efec. of the announcement that Quay
and Platt had decided to come into the fold
was very noticeable at both 518 Fifth avenue
and at State headquarters in the Fifth
Avenue Hotel The machinery, which has
been standing still, waiting for motive
power, began to grind, and the wheels went
around with bnsiness-like whirr
for the first time. Press Agent
Lemuel Ely Quigg opened his bureau at
National headquarters, but his typewriting
force was not ready, so that he was unpre-
pared to reel off information by the yard, as
1t is his purpose to do in the future. For
the first time since the establishment of
headquarters the announcement was made
that there was news to be given out.
Chairman Carter saw no one before his
departure for Philadelphis at 1920 o'clock
but Mr.. Disston and Senator Hahsbrough, of
North Dakota, General Clarkson and Rich
ard c. Kerens, the Missouri member of the
National Committee 1t was whispered
that one object of Mr. Carter's visit was to
induce Senator Quay to lend the weight of
his influence and experience for the benefit
of the executive campaign committee by
joining it in an advisory capacity.
What Chairman Carter Missed.
So precipitate was the Chairman's depart
uEe tldt ut mlbstu seeing
Judge A. II. Leonard and e1-Congressman
R. c. Miner, of Louisiana, who have had
an appointment to discuss with him the
subject of the National Committees reeog-
nizing the Leonard faction of the Republi-
cans in that State as regular, as against the
faction headed by Ex-Governor Yarmouth.
the gentlemen aired their grievances before
General Clarkson and Secretary McComas
Other visitors to the Republican national
headquarters were Captain w. M. Mere
dith, Chief of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing at Washington; Postmaster
w. w. johnson, of Baltimore; Harry c.
New, of the indianapolis Journal and
Major Alexander Shaw, of Maryland.
Chairman Carter will return to his desk
tomorrow. At the Republican State Com
mittee's headquarters list of visitors was
given out, including the names of Congress-
man Quackenbush, of Troy; State Senators
Joseph Mullin and John II. Derby, Assem-
blyman Milo NJ. Acker, of steuben; Colonel
b. E Abel, of Albany, and Rev. Dr.
William B. Derrick and T. Thomas For
tune. DIR. Derrick will stump the State,
despite the fact that he was defeated for re-
election as the colored member OF the State
Committee. Mr.. Hackett will be relieved
tomorrow by Chairman Brookfeld, and
will start for q weeks vacation along the
st. Lawrence.
Judge Gresham Not Caller.
One visitor who was looked for at 518 Fifth
venue yesterday was Judge Walter @.
Gresham, but, although he was stopping
less than three blocks from the Republican
National Headquarters, he did not call on
General Clarkson. Judge Gresham had
come over from Thompson, Conn, to visit
Colonel Robert Ingersoll, and had put up
at the Windsor Hotel for q few hours. He
refused to be interviewed regarding his at
titude in the National contest.
Nothing to Do but to Wait.
