who is good manager. will have has
hands full in his own state this year,
and will have no time to devote to the
general conduct of the campaign.
John II. Manley succeeds }. Manches-
ter Haynes as Names member. but his
intimate relations with Mr.. Blaine will
forbid his being placed very far TO the
front. James A. Gary was reelected by
the Maryland delegation, and is good
and staunch Harrison man, as is W.
Murray Crane, who succeeds Henry S.
Hyde, the Blaine boomer, on the COM
mittee as the Massachusetts, member.
: Mr.. Kerens. the Missouri member,
was strong Harrison man and is the
friend of Secretary Noble. This may be
expected to insure the placing of MIR.
KerenS~ on the executive committee.
Merriam, the new Michigan member, is
"a young man, but a hustler, but too
much of an Alger admirer to be taken
into the Harrison Inner circle right at
once.
bob" Evans, the reelected member
from Minnesota, was placed on the eX-
ecutive committee of the national COM
mittee some time ago, and will be kept
there for several reasons, prominent
among which are the fact that he is a
hard and effective worker and Staunch
supporter of the administration through
the late conflict. He has already served
nearly six years OH the committee, and
knows the work pretty well.
Hon. Person e. Cheney. New Hamp-
shire's member, is a highly popular
manufacturer in the ''Old Granite
state" and was reelected without OPP
position. In case of Mr.. Harrison's re-
election, Mr.. Cheney will be pushed for
a place in his cabinet. and will be very
likely to get it. With this outcome in
view Mr.. Cheney will be expected to
take very prominent part i'll the COM
ing campaign. Being himself manu-
facturer, he knows just how to fry the
fat out of those who are the beneficiarieS
of the tariff laws enacted and main
aimed by the Republican party.
Garrett A. Hobart, the New Jersey
member, is wealthy resident of Pater-
son, an intimate friend of Gen. Sewell,
and one of the millionaire New Jersey
combination. All but two of the twenty
votes of New Jersey were held in line
for President Harrison through the
efforts of MeSsrS. Hobart and Sewell,
and he will also be made one of the
T. S. Witherbee, of New York, is
new man, but a good, reliable follower
of "Boss'' Plat. He is handsome man
of little more than middle age, and of
great ability. Hansbrough, of North
Dakota, fell on the wrong side OF the
fence in the late difficulty, but his re-
election to the national committee will
Help him out of very bad place.
William M. Hahn, the successor of
Col. A. l.. Conger as Ohio's member, is
a3shrewd politician and loyal follower
Of Gov. Mckinley. In case Mr.. Huston,
of Indiana. is not made chairman OF the
committee, Mr.. Hahn will have warm
supporters for the place.
Joe" Simon, the man who succeeds
Bourne, of Oregon, has for long time
in his state. and has ruled it with rod
of iron. Against his rule there have
been many kicks and much grumbling,
but Simon has always come out ahead.
Congressman Herman and Senators
Mitchell and Dolph are really puppets
in his hands, aud are pOwerless to stop
his advancement into the domain Of ma
tional politics.
AS all know, Gen. Malone, the sue
cessor of Brady, of Virginia, on the
committee, is fighter from the ground
up, and knows more about the details of
practical politics than perhaps any other
man on the committee. But Gen. Malone
was bitter opponent of President Har-
rison in the late contest, and goes away
from this convention feeling very sore.
Four years ago he almost gave Vir-
ginia's electoral vote to Harrison. and
then had the pleasure of being turned
down at every turn by the man for
whom he had worked so hard. He will
