LOOKS LIKE HAKRITY.
Some Opposition Alleged, but Not
Made Manifest

New YORK, July 19-The national
Democratic committee will meet i'll this
city tomorrow evening for the purpose
of organizing and laying out the pre-
liminary work of the campaign. Nearly
all of the members are already IN the
city. and the greatest interest is being
manifested by prominent Democrats
all over the country in the
meeting of the committee. Although
the first meeting of the committee is
called for tomorrow evening, it is eX-
pected that, owing to the notification
| ceremonies, the committee will then
merely effect a temporary organization
and adjourn to the following day.
"Wednesday the committee will effect
its permanent Organization, and imme-
diately following this will come confer
ence between the committee and Messrs.
Cleveland and Stevenson. The arrange
ments for this conference are still in
embryo, and its nature will depend
much or the wishes of the two candi-
dates. 1t is thought by some that the
latter gentlemen may not deem it wise
to meet the committee in formal SEES
sion, and i'll that event the conference
will be an informal one held with the
individual members of the committee
after the adjournment of that body.
The indications are still favorable to
the SeleStiOn OF Hon. William {. Har-
rity, of Pennsylvania, as chairman of
the national committee, but there has
suddenly developed slight opposition to
the selection Of the Keystone state as
the leader of the campaign. This OBJ
position, so far as it has become MANI
fest, is confined to Southern states,
where Mr.. Cleveland is strongest, but
where the respect for Tammany IS most
potent. The committeeman who ex-
press doubts as to the wisdom
rity are perfectly frank in STAT
ing that they fear that Mr..
Harrity's selection would be displeasing
to the regular New York Democracy,
and that every attempt should be made
to conc:liate the militant Democracy in
the great pivotal state of New York.
1t is stated in this connection that
Hon. Bourke Cochran, the spokesman
of Tammany. took occasion specially to
rebuke the Pennsylvania delegation in
his famous convention speech and to
allude sarcastieally to the spectacle pre-
sented by Pennsylvania forcing the
nomination of eX-PreSident Cleveland
when its electoral vote was practically
assured in advance for Benjamin Harri-
son. The influence of Mr.. Harrity was
potent in throwing the solid vote of
Pennsylvania to Mr.. Cleveland, and
there are many who think the selection
of the Pennsylvania to lead the cam
paign might be construed into an af-
front to the New York friends of Sena-
tor Hill. All efforts to secure an ex-
preston from the Tammany leaders on
this point are said TO have been una-
vailing, and if there is any opposition
to Mr.. Harrity IN that quarter, it has not
beeu made manifest.

committee, arrived in the city today

mittee will be here tomorrow.
