ESPECIAL DlsfATCH.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-The Republicans
at national headquarters were stirred up to-
day. The Democrats having ordered 200,-
900 copies of the speech of Senator Hill in
the BROOKLYN Academy of Music on Mon
day night, and having already begun to
drop them like snowflakes all over the En-
pire State, the Republicans are aroused to
counteract the effects.
1t was finally decided to have a meeting
of the Executive Committee of the National
Committee at the Fifth Avenue Hotel in
the evening and adopt plans for forcing the
fight in the Empire State. The meeting
occurred in Joseph II. Manley's room. There
were present. beside Mr. Manley, Chairman
Carter, Mr.. Fessenden, of Connecticut; Gar
rett A. Hobart, of New Jersey; Richard c.
Kerens, of Missouri; General James s.
Clarkson, of Iowa; Dave Martin, of Penn
svlvania, Mr.. QUay's representative,
William Hahn, of Ohio; Cornelius n. Bliss,
the Treasurer of the National Committee, and
Charles W. Hackett, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Campaign Committee. 1t
was the fullest meeting of the National EK-
ecutive Committee since the campaign
OfRtutus W Lllc Iule ulscuSslOu was going
on ex-Speaker Reed and ex-senator Thomas
c. Platt had a conference OF their own.
The Situation Thoroughly Gone Over.
AT the meeting in Mr.. Manley's room the
situation in New York State was discussed.
1t was admitted that Senator Hills speech
had aroused the Democrats and stirred up
enthusiasm. The campaign of the Demo-
Gratis before this speech, it was said,
had been llstless, and evidently
without purpose but it was very evident
now that steps must be taken to arouse the
Republicans 1t was decided to sound the
bugle note ofalarm through all the coun-
ties, and to insist that the Republicans
must get out and work as they never
worked in their lives
The most fiattering tributes were paid to
the State machine OF the Democrats led by
Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Sheehan, to the or
ganized forces of Tammany under Mr.
Croker, and to the Democratic warriors
under the leadership OF Hugh Mclaughlin.
The Republican organization, it was ad- |
nitted, was doing well, but greaters effort |
~ bst be made.
chairman Hahn, of the Speakers Bureau,
r'omised to food the State with speakers. |
easurer Bliss announced that he had the |
herewithal to meet every legitimate ex-
,ription of the work that has already been |
one.
A Plea Made for Connecticut.
Mr. Fessenden, while interested in the |
reat battle in New York, announced that |
,nnecticut was within the grasp of the |
epublioans, but more speakers and harder
Drk must be done. The conference lasted |
It'll late at night and when 1t ended the |
ational Chairman left, announcing that
e booming of the Republican guns in the
ate would be heard Immediately.
The main battle of the Republicans is to
made in this State. Some declared that
ie Republicans would have this State in
oite of half dozen Democratic machines
they emphatically declared that they would |
give the Democrats the toughest fight on
record.
Mr.. Manley will remain in town until
election day to assist Dave Martin and |
John L Davenport and others in the |
of Republican voters, and to
look after alleged colonization schemes in
New York, Kings and Hudson coun-
ties. Tine headquarters of these
three Republicans will be at 466 Pearl |
street, and they will be assisted in their
labors by the County Committee on Natur-
slizatioa, of which Robert a. Greacen, of
the Fifteenth district, Is Chairman.
Nranley Gets Some Criticism.
The other members of the committee are
T. Snyder, of the Twelfth; John Stiebling,
of the Sixth; H. w. Gibson, of the Thir-
teenth, and John A Moran, of the First
Some of the Republicans Of New York and
Kings are inclined to be critical
over the presence of Messrs. Mar
tin and Manley Naval Officer Willis
especially objects to foreign interference.
Eminent Republicans said tonight, with
.bo+ i |
not cease raising ruction in Kings
county his official head would be
Topped of. These same Republicans
seem to believe that Secretary Tracy
is mainly responsible for Mr.. Willis
They say that those in charge of Mr. Har-
rison's campaign would stand no nonsense
from Secretary Tracy, either.
All in all, when the conference broke up
q lot of well-informed, spirited and conf
dent Republican leaders with their sleeves
rolled up came out
Gray Talks About Growers Letter.
Ex-Governor Isaac Pusey GRAY, of In
diana returned from Buzzard's Bay to-day.
A solid delegation of Hoosiers awaited
him at the Hoffman House. Mr.. Gray
did not care to speak of what happened on
his visit to Mr.. Cleveland. He was con-
WINGED, though, that Mr.. Cleveland's letter
of acceptance would come along in about
week, and that it would be formidable
document
Mr. Cleveland's return to New York for
another reception day will be directed by
the wishes of MI. Harrity and Mr. Whit
ney and the associate managers of the fight
Mr.. Cleveland's presence may not be
needed before October l. 1t is his wish to
remain at Gray Gables until he is ready 70
return for the winter.

issued its textbook of the campaign. The
work has been directed BY Josiah Quincy.
