The Original Harrison man" Is seen In great
profusion around the White House these days.
He Is always q delegate TO the late convention
returning heme and just dropping into the
White House Ito say howdy to the President" E"
OF course he voted for Mr.. Harrison from the
first, and, a. a matter Of fact, never had an in
tention Of voting for any one else, but would
have gone down with his colors nailed TO the
mast, egad. siri
1t is safe TO say that the majority Of the Har-
rison delegates living east Of the Alleghsnies
will find time to stop dsy or two in Washing
ton on their way home, and the first place they
make for after getting q shave and clean col
lar is the White House. Private Secretary Hal
ford receives them with suavity and urbanity-
characteristics, Of course-and when opportunity
affords rings them in on the President. and their
JOY Is complete. They all have the same story
to tell.
ut was hard fight, Mr.. President, but we
got there-yes,we did. As / said 10 my friends
before the balloting commenced, TIE going TO
be fight, but you stand by me'-and they
did"
Then he draws himself up with pride and
beams upon the President. who SAYS that was
very kind of him 10 be sure. and be will appre-
ciate it, DC. Whereupon the delegate, the orig
lnal Harrison man, goes away feeling that he
has made himself solid beyond a perad venture.
CALVIN CHASE MAKES CALL.
Calvin Chase of this city, who went TO the
convention and was ruled out BY the COM
mittee on credentials. but who feels that his
cause won at any rate if he didn't. called ut the
White House today 10 pay his respects to the
President. Mr.. Chase may not have cast a vote
for Mr.. Harrison-that was not his fault how
ever-but it is not gainsaid that he pulled"
for him. and the lay brother on the outside is
sometimes influential.
Delegates T. c. Fletcher and H. J. Europe Of
Alabama, L. V. Watson of North Carolina and
G. I. Gosorn Of West Virginia were among the
number of Delegates who called and shook
hands with the executive.
Some of the fighting captains were there,
also Mr.. OBrien. commissioner OF Navigation,
one of the dashing young chssseurs of the ad-
vance guard at Minneapolis called and told
how the hollow square was formed by the young
Napoleons that resisted the enthusiastic attacks
of the enemy.
TIE ATTORNEY GENERALS SON.
Mr.. S. ID. Miller, son of the Attorney General,
also dropped in for a moment He didn't say
much-he is very modest-but his fame had
preceded him. He free lance at the con-
vention and ii Is said was good match for
young Dick Quay of the opposition, who, under
the tutelage of his father, is reported to have
developed good fighting qualities.
Senator FELTON, of California called with Gen.
NJ. NJ. Estee. Senator FELTON,. although a dele
gate from a pronounced Blaine state happily
got in out of the rain by voting with the Harri-
son men. He is not worrying about the future
now to any considerable extent, il is said.
The politicians who called during the day
gossiped about the vacancy in the cabinet and
the Supreme bench. The report that Gen.
Massey Of Delaware is 70 be made a Supreme
Court justice was canvassed- Gen Massey
was Harrison delegate at Minneapolis, and,
moreover. was a member of the committee on
credentials, where il is said he made his pres
ence felt. Nothing definite as to Gen. Massey Q
appointment can be learned, but II is thought
he is not an impossibility.
ToDAys CABINET MEETING.
The regular Tuesday cabinet meet;os today
is said to have been something Of jollincstiou
meeting. This is the first formal cabinet meet
1 ing since the good news arrived from Mime

| Just at this time the political gossips, the
men who are never happy unless they are talk

make and unmake cabinets, are discussing the
probabilities of the personnel OF Mr.. Har-
rison's next cabinet in case he is elected.
sosGrqs sossipers there s win '" Be Changes 81 s in

like TO retire TO private life and that if he does
so Land Commissioner Carter will take up his
portfolio. They also raw that Postmaster Gen.

be averse to turning over his desk
