HARRISON TO DIE HARD.
HE TALKS OVER THE CAMPAIGN
WITH CARTER

Herculean Efforts TO Be Made to Sc
cure an Unlimited Supply of Doodle.
Carter to Have the Assistance OF a
Shrewd Coterie In His Management
OF the Fight.
WASHINGTON, July 19.--"Tom" Carter,
the new chairman of the republican ma
tional committee, was here to-day to tender
his formal resignation as commissioner Of
the general land Office and to talk over
with the Presidents the plans for the cam
paign. He called at the white house early
and rendered his resignation, and received
an invitation from the President to dine
with him Ia the evening. He was at the
capitol in the afternoon. aud had
long conference with ex-Speaker
Reed and with several prominent republican
senators. Senator Sawyer was one of the
guests at the white house to dinner and as
the party was unincumbered by ladies they
were able to devote themselves exclusively
to discussing ways and means for the cam
paign. Mr.. Carter told the President that
he had made up his mind to appoint ex-
Representative McComas of Maryland SEQ
retary of the national committee. He thinks
Mr.. MoComas has the qualifications Of dis
cretion, affability, acquaintance with pubs
lie men and political skill, which at him to
make a frst-class secretary. The President
cordially approved Mr.. Carter's selection,
and the appointments will soon be formally
rendered the young Maryland republican.
THE NONEYsGETTING PROCESS.
One of the most important subjects dis
cussed around the white house dining table
and afterward while the party were puff
ing their cigars on the back porch was the
selection of an advisory committee. The
chief purpose of this committee is to get the
funds to run the campaign, and Mr.. Carter
is anxious to have men OF wealth and stand
ing picked out in the leading cities for the
work. They must be men OF persuasive
powers as we'll as standing, something after
the style Of Mr.. Wanamaker, Mr.. Dolan
and the others who had such remarkable
SUCCESS in 1888. Several names were dis
cussed between the President and MIR. Cars
ter tonight, and invitations will soon reach
prominent republicans to help save the
party and the country by inducing their
friends to put their hands deep in their
pockets.
Mr.. Carter is not to be without assistance
| in the practical work at headquarters, and
| some of the plans to be adopted we're talked
over tonight after the matter Of the ad-
| visory committee had been disposed of. Jo-
| seph Manley. the astute manager of so many
hard-fought campaigns in the state OF
| Maine, will spend what time he can at the
| headquarters in New York until after the
| September election In Name, and after that
will devote his entire time TO the work until
| the polls close in November.
TO WORK HARD FOR WISCONSIN,.
II. G. Payne, so long the republican man.
| ager in Wisconsin, will also be constantly at
headquarters. He aud Senator Sawyer
have promised to do their utmost to keep
| Wisconsin in the republican column, al
| though the senator admits in private that it
| is "toss" which way it goes.
| Garrett A. Hobart of New Jersey will
| lend his assistance in the best methods of
| circumventing democratic schemes and
| James S. Clarkson will run up every day
from his New Jersey cottage to give his
help in putting the campaign on a thor
| oughly practical basis. The New York sit
| state committee of which Cornelius N.
Bliss is chairman, and with Mr.. Suther-
| land, the New York member Of the national
| committee.
Chairman Carter will not be in danger Of
making many blunders with such
| an experienced group of leaders
around him, and the President is greatly
! pleased at she businesslike way In which he
| is going to work.
| No successor TO Mr.. Carter in the general
land Office has been picked out, but it will
| probably be man from west Of the Missis-
| sippi. whose appointment will do something
| to keep the doubtful states ia line. Assist
art Commissioner Stone is not likely to be
| chosen.
1t was definitely stated to. day that Chair
man Carter is, as reported, q Roman
| Catholic.
