to OrRanizs.
NEW YORK, July 19.-The democratic
national committee will meet in this city
tomorrow evening for the purpose of or.
Ranizing aud laying out the preliminary
work Of the campaign Nearly all tha
members are all ready in the city. and the
greatest interest is being manifested by
prominent democrats from all over
the country in the meeting of the
committee. Although the first meeting
Of the committee Is called for tom orrow
evening it 10 expected that owing to the
notification ceremonies the committee will
effect a temporary organization and adjourn
until the following day. On Wednesday the
committee will effect its permanent organ
ization, and immediately following this will
come a conference between the committee
and Messrs. Cleveland and Stevenson. The
arrangements for this conference are still
in embryo and its nature will depend much
on the wishes OF the candidates. 1t Is
thought by some that the latter gentlemen
may not deem 1t wise to meet the committee
In formal session and In that event tho con-
ference will be an informal one, held with
individual members of the committee after
the adjournment OF that body.
OPPOSITION TO HARRIrY.
The indications are still favorable to the
selection OF William f. Harrity Of Penn
sylvania as chairman, but there has sud-
denly developed a slight opposition to the
selection of the Keystone state as the leader
OF the campaign. This opposition, 80 far as
it has become manifest, is confined to the
southern states, where Mr.. Cleveland is
strongest, but where respect for Tammany
is most potent. Committeeman who doubt
as to the wisdom Of selecting MIR.
Harrity are perfectly frank in
rity's selection would be displeasing to
the regular New Y York democracy, and that
every attempt should be made to concliate
the militant democracy In the great
pivotal state Of New York.
A careful canvass OF the national coms
mitteemen in this city tonight shows that.
whatever doubts there may be in some
quarters as to the wisdom Of Mr.. Harrity'a
selection, there is an unanimous desire tn
select the man who will be the most agree
able 10 MessrG Cleveland and Stevenson.
ATTITUDE OF GEoRGIA's MEMBER
An instance Of this is afforded in the po-
sition OF Clark Howell of Atlanta, national
committeeman from Georgia. Mr.. Howell
was one of Mr.. Hills most loyal supporters,
but he states that he Is favorable to tha
selection OF a chairman who Is the choice OF
Messrs. Cleveland and Stevenson. even
though that man be Mr.. Harrity OF Penn
sylvnnia and so the chairmanship may be
bhtu w dcponu oibftlJ upOh sh0 NAOtCo
Of the party candidates aHd there Is
general impression that Mr.. Harrity is the
choice Of these gentlemen, since ex-Secre-
tary Whitney has positively declined to be
considered in this direction. The reelection
OF Mr.. Sheerin of Indiana as secretary Of
the committee is a foregone conclusion, as
Mr.. Sheerin has no opposition and is the
unanimous choice Of the committee.
The first subject Of importance which the
national committee will be called upon to
decide after the selection Of the national
chairman. will be the question of establish
ing branch campaign headquarters of the
committee at Chicago.
