ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPATCH.1
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE announce
ment from Philadelphia yesterday tina
'there will be no reconciliation between
Senator Quay and President Harrison, and
as result Mr.. Harrison may eventually
not be candidate for denomination" made
much talk among Republicans in New York
State. 1t did more to develop the real rela
tions between these Republicans and the
President than anything for long tint
past.
1t is said now, on good authority, that at
the Republican State Convention at Albany
on April % the Presidents administration
will be commended, and that there is little
doubt that ex-senator Platt, Chauncey NJ.
Depew, Warner Miller and Senator His.
cock will be selected as tho big four
to go to Minneapolis. Whether they
will all go is quite another question.
THE DIsPATCH's telegram from Phila-
deIphia said the President would decline a
denomination unless Senator Quay, Mr..
Plat, General James s. Clarkson and the
rest are solid for him. BY ''the rest'' is
meant Warner Miller, Colonel W. W. Dud-
lev, Sam Fessenden, of Connecticut, and
others who took az important part in the
Harrison battle of 1883
wanamaker's Work With Quav.
Concerning John Wanamaker's efforts to
reconcile Senator Quay with the admins
tration, 1t was asserted by high authorities
that Wanamaker had been for some time
negotiating with Quay, but that Quay
ha raoopoi1ad Tho
therefore, was that Quay would, without
doubt, attempt to control the Pennsylvania
delegation against the President: Colonel
Dudley will do the same thing in Indiana;
General Clarkson will do his utmost to the
same end in Iowa.
Here in New York. Platt and Miller's fol-
lowers are without doubt strongly opposed
to the Presidents denomination. Mr.. Miller
himself is as yet taking no part in the bat
tie but his friends have not yet recovered
from their anger at the President for refus-
ing to recognize their idol after he was
beaten for Governor in 1885, Senator His
cock is up to date a Harrison man, and DR..
Depew rather leans that way. Both His
cock and Depew have certain following,
but it is not TO be compared to the Repubii-
can armies which are behind Platt and
Miller.
The recent visits of Secretary Tracy, Sec
retary Foster, Secretary Elkins and Post
master General Wanamaker to New York
City had other purposes beside social en-
gagements. Mr. Foster, it was said to-day,
tempt to meddle with the management of
the Republican party in New York State.
Mr.. Tracy has become entangled in a fierce
battle in Brooklyn, but Mr.. Wanamaker was
here to undertake to appease the antago-
nists of the President, and Mr.. Elkins has
the same contract.
EIkins Not Much Encouraged.
The only strong peace man in the little
party was Mr.. Elkins, and he got very little
encouragement. Indeed, the statement was
made to-day that the Presidens was now
compelled to rely for his boom in New York
upon Mr.. Elkins and Colonel Elliott f. Shep-
ard. The critics of the President said he
was very willing to accept the services in
1855 of Quay, Dudley, Clarkson, Platt and
Warner Miller, who are all against him now
1t was recalled that General Harrison, after
tion, announced that it would be good Re-
publican politics not to give SO much at
tention TO efforts to carry New York State.
1t was said to-day that in view of these
retary Elkins to undertake to patch up a
peace; furthermore, that the situation had
SO changed that not only the Southern
States, but also all the silver States. arc op-
was confidently predicted thai the Presi-
dent could not come within l0, 900 votes of
carrying his own State now.
Altogether, some of the most competent
Republican politicians saw in the announce
ment that Harrison may possibly withdraw
the interesting conclusion that the Presi-
dent is fully aware of the forces arrayed
against him; that the men selected to bring
about peace in his favor have thus far
utterly failed; that whilo voting Republ-
cans respect him he has aroused no en-
thusiasm in their breasts, and in conclu.
sion, that he will not thrust himself upon
minds of the party leaders are changed
toward him.
