HARTFORD, Conn.,, July 6.-The bfcy-
ole races at Charter Oak Park under the
auspices OF the Columbia and Colt

from him about Is minutes later.
George +. Taylor, M. A. C., paced py
George Banker, made an attempt TO
lower Arnold's time OF 80 seconds and
did the quarter In 81 1-5. He thus got
not only the American record, but the
worlds record, too, the fastest quarter
from a flying start previously made was
by Zimmerman in England a short time
ago, his time being 81 3-5.
Hoyland Smith, N. Y. A. c., made an

markable exhibition Of speed and endur-
ance. He did the "a miles in 61.29 l-5,
amid the cheers OF the big crowd.
Seelcy and Herman, both Hartford men
and members of the M. A. c., lowered the
worlds tandem record in competition by
doing the mile In 2.26 1-6. The previous
record was 22S As.

BUSINESS MATTERS PREVENT,
The Executive Committee is to be Named
to-day--The Election of New Chair
man will Follow In All Probability
The Membership as Outlined.

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Hon. w. J.
Campbell, chairman OF the Republican
national committee, arrived here yester-
day and went to the White House, where
he was in consultation until nearly o
o'clock with the President, Secretary
Rask, Secretary Elkins, Commissioners
Carter and ex-senator Spooner OF Wis
consin. At the conclusion of the confer
ence Chairman Campbell gave out the
following statement:
"When / was elected chairman OF the
National Committee IL was with the dis
tlnct understanding that my business
engagements then pending might render
II impossible for me to act IN that capac-
ity. This contingency was fully under
stood by the committee and others di-
rectly interested.
"Since the adjournment OF the commit
tee have been unable to adjust my al
fairs so as TO render IL practicable Tor me
TO act as chairman; and /, therefore, as
reserved the right TO DO, announce that
will not act.
"Under the authority vested in me by
the national committee, i will probably
announce the executive committee with
In the next few days and that COMMITTEES
will meet at an early date. At that meet
ing will formally tender my resignation
and my successor will be then elected.
My successor will be chosen by the exec
utive committee as authorized by rcsolu-
tions adopted by the national committee.
Mr.. Campbell stated that he had moth
ing further to say. The resolution allu- ID
ed to was adopted to meet just such a
contingency as has arisen. The names
most prominently mentioned In connec-
tion with the chairmsnship are Commis-
sioner It. II. Carter, j. II. Manley Of
Maine, Samuel Fessenden of New Hamp-
shire and Mr.. Hobart of New York.
Chairman Campbell will probably ap-
point the executive committee today
and those whose names follow with
perhaps one or two exceptions, will, IL
is believed, be found upon the list: j.
II. Manley, Maine; Garrett Hobart, New
Jersey; Samuel Fessenden, Connecticut;

THE ASSESSMENT QUESTION

The Maryland State Grange, before
adjourning in Baltimore, last week,
criticized Governor Brown and passed
the following preamble and resolu-
ton:
Whereas, The action Of our present Cover
nor on the assessment bill passed by the last
Legislature, following the precedent set by
his immediate predecessor, has caused feelings
OF alarm among the farmers OF the State and
Whereas, The continued shrfnkagc of farm
values still obtains, growing larger out Of the
unequal distribution of burdens for the sup
port Of governments
Resotsed, That We urge upon the farmers
and taxpayers In the State that no mistake be
made on their part In the selection of men,
bers OF our next General Assembly looking
to the enactment of an assessment law framed
in the spirit Of the 18th article of our Bill of
R!ghts, and embracing the listing system as
one Of its cardinal features.
Governor Brown has been judged
too harshly, we think, not only for
vetoing the Hayes assessment bill, last
spring, but for suggesting the pro-
priety Of calling together representa-
tive men of the various interests in the
State for the purpose of considering
WV &SoCoDAhOhO 4uwCOloA anu vi IuS
to arrive at some sound and uniform
basis upon which to frame tax law.
We have NO doubt Governor Brown
was sincere, during his campaign for
the Governorship, in urging, on behalf
Of farmers, a new and more equitable
assessment of property in the State in
order that taxation might be more
fairly and justly laid. He acted con-
scientifically, also, we believe, in veto
ing the Hayes bill, but whether right
or wrong his action in this respect was
not in accordance with the wishes of
a majority of the people of the State
The right of veto was only conferred
to prevent hasty and ill-considered
legislation, and the assessment bill
passed by the last Legislature was
open to neither Of these objections.
Governor Brown ought to have signed
the bill, realizing that the execution
and not the making of the laws is in
his hands, leaving it to the next Legis-
lature to so amend the laws, if it were
found necessary, that no injustice
could result to any individual or any
corporate interest.
1t Is safe to say that not every man
in the State was qualified to unravel
the intricacies or understand the
mazes of SO complicated a bill. Farm
ers, especially, conscious that they
were suffering from unequal taxation
and having confidence in the wisdom
and honesty of purpose of the advo-
Gates of the bill, looked to it as O.
proper means of relief for themselves,
al least, without seeking to under
stand how it might affect the city of
Baltimore. They could not, there
fore, reconcile the Governors profess
sion of a desire to relieve them from
unequal taxation and his veto of the
bill which they believed would ac-
complish that object.
