10 Politicians are alTedut uiSC
nron,s;iior of the Union League CLUB OF
Philadelphia, to give President Harrison
q national dinner shortly after his re-
tirenent from the White House, and claim
to sec in it the inception Of a HARRISON
movement for 1896. They say that 1t Is
more han likely that there will be a re-
publican speaker at the Union League
bancnct board who will place General
Harrison il nomination for 1896, just as
did tie present chairman ef the mouse
committee on WAYS and means nominate
Mr.. Cleveland at the Thurman banquet
shoy..r after his retirement from the
White House in 1889. All the national
leader Of the party are expected to at
tend the dinner, and it is supposed by
many .rrc that this IS the course OF ac-
ton + be pu sued by the republican
party. It is also expected by many that
President Harrison will, in his speech be-
fore the club, forecast the future Of bis
party and law down the lines Of policy on
which Il republicans will make their
FIGHT for a return to power four years
hence.
No tariff agitation Of any character
can he expected in the present session
of congrcss. The democratic house com
mittee on ways and means has aban-
doncd the "srcciic" bills for free coal
free iron ore and free tin plate which
were still before the committee when
congrsss adjourned last August. What
ever time the members Of that committee
may rave during the next two months
they will devote to The examination OF
the treasury in the hope of discovering a
deficit. The committee appointed yes
terdav by Chairman Springer consists of
himself. Messrs. Wilson and Turner, and
democrats, while eX Speaker Reed and
Mr.. Burrows are the two republican
members. The presence Of these two
distinguished republicans on the commit
tee will make the sessions and the re-
ports of The committee of some interest,
for it is quite certain that whatever par
tisan misstatcments may be contained in
the majority report will be promptly de-
tectcd and rcfuted by Reed and Burrows
in their minority report.
- While President-elect Cleveland has
'notgisen any definite information as to
the personnel of his cabinet, he has indi-
Gated to those whose advice he will ask
when considering the members Of his
official household that he does not intend
to appoint q single secretary who is not
American born. Mr.. Cleveland claims
that he led to this determination not by
any marrow spirit of A~mericanism,' but
as the result Of a careful study Of the
constitution. AS is well known the on
stitution Of The United States prescribcs
that re president and vice president
mus. nc native Americans 1t says
nothia of the qualifications Of the men
. who f. N the presidents cabinet.
1t Therefore is quite possible in view
OF the ,,w enacted a few years ago nam.
ing the order in which the various secre'
taries can succeed to the presidency, that
one Of them who might be a foreign bOrr
citizen c'lld succeed to the prcsident;a.
cha. In his event the grave question
would in ediately arise as to the cligi
bility of that secretary. President liar
rison was so thoroughly imbued with TIT
American spirit that he chose native
born citizens for his cabinet in every in
stance even though the thought Of sue
cessiOn may never have occurred to him
