wHITELAw REID IN WASHINGTON
He Visits tho Capital and Discusses the
Outlook with Mr.. Harrison

OUTLOOK with NIT. Harrison.
WASHINGTON, June 24.-Mr. White
law Reid, Republican candidate for
Vice-President came over from New
York yesterday and registered at the
Arlington before 8 o'clock. Having
been transferred from private citizen
into candidate, Mr.. Reid, with all the
diplomatic shrewdness OF the latter, de-
clined to talk about the situation in
general or make any predictions He
SAID he simply came overSto talk over
matters with the President, and init.
mated that their conversation had
much to do with the coming campaign.
Shortly after noon Mr.. Reid, under
guidance of Russell Harrison, visited
the Capitol for the purpose of paying his
respects to Vice-President Morton. Mr..
Morton, however, was in New York,
but MIR. Reid spent some time in his
room, where nearly all the Republican
Senators called upon him and asked
him how he liked his future quarters.
Mr.. Henderson, President pro TEN. of
the Senate. introduced Mr.. Reid to
those Senators with whom he was net
acquainted.
Senators Sherman and Allison were
the first to hear of Mr.. Reid's presence,
and they Immediately went to the Vice
PRESIDENTS room and greeted him COR
daily. Ex-Speaker Reed and several
other Republican representatives came
over from the House. After remaining
there about an hour the candidate left
the Capitol, accompanied by Senator
Cullom and Mr.. Russell Harrison.
AT 1:3o Mr.. Reid lunched with the
President, at which time the coming
contest was discussed. Mr. Harrison
was OF the opinion that the real fight
would be in New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. Indiana he considers as
normally certain for the Republican
ticket. and the Campaign in that State
will, it is said be left to tho charge OF
Col. Kitchener, who did such excellent
work for Mr.. Harrison at MINNEAPOLIS.
The President insisted that there
must be strong man at the head of az
fairs who could do effective work in the
three States omprising the chief bat
tle-ground, and for this position, chair.
man of the national committee, three
names were discussed, those of Gen.
Horace Porter, Land Commissioner Car.
ter and Gen. Sewall, Of New JERSEY.
No decision was reached, and what the
President desires will not be known un-
I'll the committee meets here next Nom
day. Mr.. Reid remained with the Pres
ldent fully two hours.
Instead of dining at the Arlington
last evening. Mr.. Reid gave up his
rooms, and all inquiries were met with
the statement that he had returned to
New York. His private secretary noti
fled the hotel clerk they would leave on
the 6:30 train, but as it so happens there
is no train at that hour nor anywhere
near it, 1t is quite evident that Mr..
Reid changed his mind, for he went to
the residence of Secretary Elkins, where
he remained two or three hours.
