Wosbinoton lime 27-The first meeting Of the
Republican National Committee TO prepare for
the coming campaign was held in Washington TO-
day. and was harmonious one, promising a sue
cessful ending of the coming National contest.
The unanimous election as chairman OF W. d.
Campbell, of Illinois, was In consonance with the
uniform practice which prescribes that, III the
choice of Its head, the committee will consult so
far as may be the personal desires and prefer
ences Of the candidate for the Presidency IL Is
understood that the names of several members OF
the committee were submitted on behalf Of Presl-
dent Harrison-among them being the names OF
ex-senator Cheney, of New-Iampsbire, and ex-
Senator Sewell, of New-Jersey. The choice OF
the other officers indicates that the committee
acted with great wisdom. They are as fellows ::
vicc-chairman, NJ H. De Young, of California.
Secretary, Thomas II. Carter, of Montana.
Treasurer c. n. Bliss, of New-York.
These names are guarantee of an honest, alert,
energetic and intelligent management of affairs
at the National headquarters of the Republican
party during the coming campaign-a manage
ment which will command the confidence and
respect of Republicans throughout the country.
The extent Of Chairman Campbells experience
as a manager Of political campaigns is not great,
but he has been an intelligent and efficient mem
Der Of the National Committee for several years.
and is q man of known and Acknowledged en-
ecutive ability. His selection as chairman is a
fair recognition of the States Of the great North
west and West, as that of Mr. Young was Of
the Pacific States and that Of Mr.. Carter was
OF the new States whose admission into the
Union was due to the efforts and zeal of the
Republican party. OF course everybody will COM
mend the selection of Cornelius n. Bliss as
treasurer His name is q synonyme Of business
ability and integrity.
The hopes of the Democrats that to-day's meet
ing Of the committee would be an inharmonious
one have been rudey shattered 1t was an earnest
meeting, as all meetings are In which Republicans
gather 10 discuss the interests and lay plans TO
promote the welfare Of the great party to which
they belong: but that there was 20 discord Is
shown by the fact that the choict OF
officers was unanimous in every case. When
Pres sident Harrison was renominated at Mime
apois there ceased TO be ant-fIarrison men in the
National Committee all became Harrison men.
This fact was self-evident when the members of
the committee called at the White House this
evening and were cordially welcomed by the
President in Of the happy little speeches Tor
which he has become famous.
Before the committee adjourned a resolution
adopted which authorizes CHAIRMAN Jump
bell TO appoint an executive committee of nine
members This committee may be composed in
whole or in part OF men who not members of
the National Committee and whose appointments
meet tie approval Of the candidates for Prcsi-
| dent and s1:ePresidcnt IL is, in fact. to be a
working campaign committee and there is no
doubt that Tie provisions defining the eligibility
and governing It's selection are both wise and
eypedient.
