hc was not sure that any particular
person had been decided upon. During
tho conversation the names OF Messrs
Massey, Of Delaware, Chaney, OF New
Hampshire, Campbell, Of Illinois, and
Carter OF Montana, had been men
toned, but he was not advised as to
whether thenominee had made definite
selection. An inquiry was made as to
whether all these gentlemen were mem
bers OF the national committee, and il
wa4 developed that Governor Cheney
was the only one who WAS a member Of
the committee.
Mr.. Kerins, OF Missouri, moved that
a committee ofthres be appointed by
the chairman to wait on the President
and vice presidential nominees and as
certain their preference in the matter.
The motion was lost. Mr.. Fassett sug-
gested that possibly Mr. Elkins might
iniotm the committee as to Mr.. Harri-
cons choice. Further discussion was
cut short by a motion to take recess
until 8 o'clock, which was carried.
The Republican national committee
reassembled at 8 o'clock, and on motion
OF Mr. Bayne, of Wisconsin, n commit.
tee Of three was appointed to draft
suitable resolutions expressive OF the
views OF the committee on the retire
ment OF Mr.. Clarkson as chairman.
Messrs. Payne, OF Wisconsin, Wolcott,

Mr.. scoTT's RESOLUTION.
Mr.. N. B. Scott, of West Virginia, sent
to the chairman the followingrcselution,
which was read and laid on tho table
to be taken up at some future meeting
OF the committee.
ReSoluei, That hereafter Republican
national conventions be composed OF

the basis Of representation for each del
egate.. The national committee shall
certify to the chairman of each state
committee tho number OF delegates TO
which each state is entitled under the
rulc, and shall regulate the apportion-

TO couxrERAcr VICIOUS scoLLEaETEAcuIEo.
at the request OF Chairman Clarkson,
Mr.. James +. Burke, OF Pittsburgh, the
president oi the college league of Re-
publican clubs, addressed the meeting.
He said that on May II last q national
organization OF college Republican clubs
was effected. At the meeting we're rep
resented nearly all Of the colleges OF the
northern states. 1t had been found
that a large proportion OF the young
men who graduated from colleges went
into tho world as free traders. This was
due to the fact that manyof our colleges
use European text books, the works
OF free trade political economists, and
this pernicious influence is brought to
bear upon the students the first day
they enter the institution and Is con-
tinued until the day they leave it. 1t
has been found necessary to set up q
line OF resistance to this influence, and
SO the college league clubs were organ
lied. The necessity for some move
mentto counteract the insidious influ.
ence is shown in the fact that 10000
young men are graduated from the
American colleges every yea:, and
therefore about 75,L10 young men cast
their first votes at every presidential
election.
Mr.. Payne, Of Wisconsin, placed in
nomination as Chairman OF the Repub-
lican national committee William j,
Campbell, OF Illinois, Representatives
OF several other states seconded tho
nomination as one eminently fit and
proper, and predicting under his leader
ship complete success for the Republi.
can party in November.
CAMPBELL CHOSEN.
Mr.. Campbell was elected by accla.
nation. Mr. NJ. H, DeYoung, of San
Francisco, was chosen vice chairman,
and Mr.. Thomas Carter, Of Montana,
secretary. -.
