Tokens OF respect for Mrs. Harrison wore
shown yesterday at tho two national head
quarters. The Republicans draped the on
trance to their building and tho nag. The
Democrats flew their three flags at half mast.
The gentlemen OF the two committees ex-
pressed tho sincerest sympathy for President
Harrison. Little work was done at Republi.
can headquarters until late In the day. when
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay made his first
visit OF the campaign.
Chairman Carter. Mr.. Manley. Gen. Clarkson.
Just back from the West: Mr.. Hahn. David
Martin. and Chairman Hackett OF State head
quarters were there to greet Mr.. Quay. Tho
PENNSYLVANIA Senator had conferred In the
morning with his associate Senator. Don Cam
eron.
Senator Quay confessed before going to
headquarters that he knew litto or nothing
about the outlook Of the Presidential fight.
He had been sick. and. although he had quite
recovered. he was feeling far from robust He
remained in consultation with tho national
Republican campaigners until after nightfalL
They discussed tho possible operation ofthe
new ballot laws in twenty eight OF the States.
1t was frankly admitted that these laws have
confused experienced campaigners. They do
not know what to expect from them. and
neither do the people 1t is the first Presi-

publicans. The registration in New York State
and in other States has not been completed.
1t was made apparent at the conference that
the work OF Mr. Carter and his brethren had
been thorough. The work has been conducted
on the usual lines. Tho Democrats have been
attacked in every State for their tariff and
money planks. Polls of the different States.
and especially the doubtful ones. have been
taken. These polls have been more or less
satisfactory to Mr.. Carter and his friends. and
they were gratifying to Senator Quay.
Yet. even these polls In the minds OF some.
count for little in view OF the new ballot laws
Further polls will be made. and by next week
the Republican managers believe that they
will know better where they stand. The
latest poll OF course will be the best.
Some are inclined to think that Mr.. Carter
has INDUCED in rainbow chasing concerning
Alabama and West Virginia. The Democrats
say that he has thrown away his time and
money on Alabama. At one time. however
they were disquleted by the frequent visits to
that far Southern State Of tho Hon. Chris
Magee OF Pittsburgh.
