The Hon. Sam Fessenden OF Conn ecticut has
been invited to become Chairman OF Harri-
sons National Campaign Committee. Dir.
Fessenden sent q reply yesterday declining to
accept the honor. This was another OF the
disappolntments with which the Presidents
campaign opens Mr.. Campbelrs business
affairs prevented him from assuming the
burden. Mr.. Fessendens business enter
prises and othor matters dcbar him
from working like horse thief for
four months with the prospect OF getting
nothing. not oven thanks. Gem Michener's
name has been mentioned" for n week. but
no word comes from him as to his intentions.
Talk about the Hon. Tom Carter's taking the
place has been revived. He is q Federal Of
Hceholder and the President has claim upon
him. The Presidents hold on Gen. Kitchener
is not 80 direct. though Con. Kitchener would.
It Ia said. do anything in reason to oblige his
old partner. Col W. W. Dudley. who for two
years now has been permitted to bask in
the corners Of Hnrrisons Pension Bureau.
The situation is becoming almost ludi-
crous. This Is the comment OF Republicans
quite as much as OF Democrats Republicans
ssy that the President has only to offer the
place to Republican not directly connected
with his Administration to meet with cour-
teous and yet positive declination. He is
practically at odds with all the old war horses
who won his battle for him four years ago.
He must now rely upon Republican who,asn
beneficiary Of his Administration. could
scarcely refuse to give value received.
The majority OF the Executive Committee
just appointed by Mr.. Campbell favor tho ap-
pointment OF Uncle" Philotus Sawyer OF Osh-
kosh. the lumber king. He is 10 years old.
