In the selection of committee and

formed states; Manley and Fessenden,

Hobart, the Middle states; Bradley. the
Southern states; Payne and Clarkson,

q 1t was the unanimous desire OF every
member named on the committee that
Mr.. Campbell after the appointment his
successor, be either added to the eXecut-
i've committee or take the place of some
present member thereof. 1t is only
fair to say that the matter
OF establishing Il branch head
quarters for the committee at Chicago
has been considered, and, in event of
such establishment, the members of the
national committee in that locality will
be advised within matters pertaining to
the campaign in their section" This,
in connection with the resignation of
MI. Campbell Oh the executive commit
tee, is significant. and it means that
President HarriSOn'S wishes will be
carried out in regard to the conduct of
the campaign in Indiana and Illinois,
and that Mr.. Campbell will virtually
conduct the campaign in those states.
-Four of them, Clarkson, Hobarth, Fes-
sender and Paine, have heretofore
served on the committee. but the
balance are new members. Bradley, of
Kentucky. was the unanimous choice
OF the Southern members. He has
served as a member of the national
committee for eight years. and in 1888
made magnificent campaign as the
Republican candidate for governor of
Kentucky, bringing down the Demo-
cratic majority in that state to the low
est since the war. He received strong
support from the labor element.
Kerens, the newly appointed member
from Missouri, takes the place of
Chauncey |. Filley. During the day
Mr.. Campbell and Mr.. Carter called on
Charles W. Hackett, chairman of the
state Republican committee. The meet
ing was an important one, and the two
chairmen exchanged views as to the
policy TO be adopted in the campaign
for New York state, -
Harmonious relations were estab-
| liShed between the two and both gentle:
men state that there will be no clash
| of interests between the two commit!
| tees. as
Secretary Carter has not yet deter
mined whether he will continue to act
| as secretary of the committee. Mr..
| Carter was asked if there was a posi-
bility of his being Mr.. Campbell's sue
cessOr.
81 am not a member of the national
| committee, and therefore l am ineligi-
| ble."
Mr.. Carter said that during the ,day

| ex-senator Platt. The selection ofIthe
| New York headquarters will be left. to
| the executive committee, which will
