SUCCESS OF THE PARrN-cLARksoN AND PIArT
HAVE AGREED TO DO so.
President Harrison is assuming very con-
ciliatory attitude toward those republican lead
ers who most earnestly opposed his renomina-
ton. He is desirous Of overcoming the inn
preston that he is going TO take things into his
own hands and run the campaign entirely ac-
cording TO his own ideas and independently af
the men who assisted in his election in lsss
The idea that these men may hold themselves
apart from him and leave him 10 elect himself
as he was nominated. without their assistance.
is not agreeable 10 him He wants Mr.. QUAY,
Mr.. Clarkson. Mr.. Platt. Mr. Miller Mr. Dudley
and the devoted friends of Mr. Blaine TO feel
That all the antagonsms of the convention are
obhterated; that he holds no resentment acainst
them on account of their opposition to him.
but that he seeks and TO a great extent depends
upon their assistance to secure his election. He
wants them to feel that they are not to be ig-
nored. sighted nor neglected by him. but that
they may be free TO ask for what they want
with the same expectation Of getting il as might
be held by those most active and prominent in
their efforts 10 secure the denomination.
LONG TALK WITH GARRISON
The President had long talk with Mr. Clark
son on this subject and expressed to him his
feeling Of friendship for those who opposed him
and his del endence upon them. He also told
Mr.. Clarkson that they might expect every
recognition from him that Law in his power
either in the way of deserence to their advice
about the party organization or on the subject
OF appointments. He desires to impress upon
all these men and on the party workers gener-
ally that he does not propose to dictate the
policies and methods of the campaign but TO
leave all that to the regular party managers in
cluding among them all those who opposed his
nomination, merely holding himself ready at
any time to consult with them and To help them
IN any way they suggest. He feels that great
harm might come TO the party and to him
should the impression become prevalent that he
held any different attitude on this subject All
this he has made clear 10 Mr. Clarkson. and Mr..
Clarkson at his earnest solicitation has promised
him that he will take charge OF the work of the
republican national executive committee. I'm
less some unexpected hitch occurs the direction
of the campaign will be divided between two
head managers, Campbell at Chicago and Clark
son in New York. The latter will have his
family in the suburbs in the vicinity of New
York, and will spend most of his time until after
the election at the headquarters in New York
city.
ME- PLATT WILL WORK.
Substantially what vas said to Mr. Clarkson
by Mr.. Harrison wascommunicated TO Mr. Platt
through Mr.. Reid, the candidate for Vice
President. with whom Mr.. rlatt had a confer
ence concerning the organization of the state
committee of New York. Mr.. Plat was told
that il was the Presidents desire that the or
ganization of the committee should be accord
ing to his Mr.. Platts) wishes and that he
should feel free TO advise the President and TO
make any request of him. Mr.. Reid reported to
the President that Mr.. Platt was ready to 60 to
work earnestly for the ticket. Efforts are being
made to placate Mr.. QUAY in the same manner

there shall be no lack of harmony in the party
If ii lies in his power to conciliate those who
were agrieved.
The thing which Mr.. Harrison particularly
desires is that the warmest and most devoted
friends Of Mr.. Blaine shall feel that they above
all others are held in high favor by the admin
istation; that there is no i'll will toward Mr..
Blaine, and that anything that the President
can do for him or his friends in the way of
recognition or appointment will be done with
alacrity and pleasure. A friend of Mr.. Harri-
son said TO a STAR reported today that the Presi-
dent would be glad of an opportunity to show
favor to friends of Mr.. Blaine. and that he
would do for them on account of Mr.. Blaine
what he would not do for Others.
The President makes no secret of this senti-
ment, but desires that his kindly feelings should
be understood

tional committee Mr.. Campbell is ex-oficio

most enthusiastic of the Blaine men, went to

Gen. Clarkson that il was true that he had con-
sented to take charge of the work in New York,
though he would not be entitled to be called
