HARRITY'.S HELPERS.
Com mittees Provided for Will
Probably BE Named at
an Early Date.
Doran to Represent the North Star
State-Whitney Will Be
Prominent.

NEW Ohh, July Hl.-1G Is uOt cX-
pected that Chairman Harrity will an
nounce the membership of the National
Democratic executive committee or of
the campaign committee advisory
board or other committees provided in
the organization of the party before the
latter part of next week. He is now in
Philadelphia and will probably not re-
turn to New York before Monday or
Tuesday.
In series of conferences between
Chairman Harrity, Ex-President Cleve-
land. Gen. Stevenson, Hon. w. C.
Whitney, Senator Brice and members
of the national committee generally, it
has been pretty generally settled that
the members of the executive commit
tee shall be selected, as nearly
as possible, from the repre-
sentatives of the doubtful states.
OF course this rule cannot
be rigidly followed out in the South
ern representation on the COM
mittee. as the Democrats contend that
the Solid South is practically assured to
them in advance. Despite this aSSur-
ance, however, there is manifested IN
some quarters considerable uneaSiness
over the phenomenal growth of the
Peoples party in Georgia, South Caro-
lima, Arkansas and other Southern
states.
So far as known, Chairman Harrity
has not given the slightest lntimatiuil
OF his intentions. but there appears to
be general understanding as to at
least half of the membership of the
executive committee. The chairman
eX-ofncio will, of course, be Mr.. Har-
rity himself. Lieut.-Gov. William +.
Sheehan. of New York, the ma
tional committeeman from the EN-
pire state. will almost certainly
be selected as member. un-
less he declines the honor. Mr. Shee-
han has long been identified with inter-
eSts Of Senator Hill, and was quite
inconsolable and somewhat alarming in
his predictions of the result when the
national convention nominated Mr..
Cleveland over the protests of the New
York delegation.
1t has frequently been stated that Mr..
Sheehan would refrain from active
participation in the campaign and leave
to the people who nominated Mr.. Cleve-
land the task Of carrying the Empire
state, but the interest which Mr. Shee-
han yesterday manifested in the pro-
ceedings of the national committee,
made without authority During the
morning reception it was observed
that the greeting between Mr.. Sheehan
and the ex-president was unexpectedly
friendly, and when it was reported this
morning that the two had had an eX-
tended conference yesterday afternoon,
the public at once Jumped to the con-.
clusion that Mr.. Sheehan would be
member of the executive committee.
The young lieutenant governor is. how
ever, very uncOmmunicative on the sub
ject, but his very silence only tends to
strengthen the impression that he will
represent this great pivotal state on the
national executive committee.
Senator Brice, of Ohio. will, of course,
be member of the executive commit
tee, as it is generally understood that
he will not decline to serve in that ca
pacity.
1t is believed that among the other
members of the executive committee
will be S. p. Sheerin, of In
diana: Senator w. Ransom. of North
Carolina; Congressman Ben T. Cable,
of Illinois; Senator A. p. German, of
Maryland; d. j. Campau. of Michigan;
Carlos French, of Connecticut; Clark
the Atlanta Constitution: Carlos S.
Thomas, of Colorado; }. j. Richardson,
of Iowa: Josiah Quincy, of Massachu-
setts; Michael Doran, of Minnesota; Nj. \
L: Donaldson, of South Carolina; E. c.
Wall, of Wisconsin; John Sheridan, of
West Virginia; Miles Ross. of New Jer-
sey; Charles f. Blair. of Kansas; o. T..
Holt. of Texas, and Basil B. Gordon, of
Virginia.
There is very little speculation as to
the campaign committee, although it is
believed that ex-Secretary Whitney will
be the chairman of this committee uu-
less he prefers to head the general
advisory board,
The Chicago and other Western com.
mittees that have been here to secure
the establishment of Western head
quarters of the national committee are
returning to their homes, but will again
return to this city aud appear before !
