Chairman Carter walked into his little
den this morning before he had finished his
after-breakfast cigar, and went to work with
vim. The Presidents visit has had its
effect already, and has euthused every body
with confidence. Mr.. Platt is in line and
goe in and out at headquarters in a way
that shows he has no idea of sulking.
National Committeeman Martin, of Penn
sylvsnia, who can do more vigorous work
in an hour than most men can do in q day,
SAYS that beginning next Monday, he in
tends to take his coat off and will spend his
time at headquarters helping things along.
Mr. Carter saws he does not know anybody
he would rather have about than Mr.. Mar
tin.
The Cholera Scare in Politics.
The great cholera scare is having its
effect even in politics, and the managers
here are wondering how long it is going to
last President Harrison's prompt atten
tion to duty in leaving the city and going
TO Washington to consider what can be
done to keep out the plague is consid cred
an excellent move, and while the opposi-
tion sneers at what it calls an attempt to
ring cholera into the campaign, Chairman
Carter is not worrying. He says tine con-
RI IL.
applaud the Presidents action, without
looking behind it for political significance.
1t is thought at headquarters that Presi-
dent Harrison's call to Washington will
not delay his letter of acceptance more than
a day or two if it is DELAYED at all. The
draft of it is COMPLETED and has been SUBJ
mitted to the party managers As the let
ter will contain reference to the issues upon
which the campaign is to be fought, there is
urgent necessity for its appearance. Upon
its receipt, the campaign will be pushed
more vigorously than ever.
Ex-senator Palmer, OF Michigan, Presi
dent of the National Commission of the
Worlds Fair, was closeted with Mr.. Car
ter to-day Ex-senator Palmer brought a
great deal of cheerful views from the North
west. He said Illinois was so solidlv Repub-
lican as ever, and that the Democrats were
chasing rainbows in Wisconsin, Michigan
and Iowa He said the Northwest was
firmly anchored in the Republican column.
Ptck's Report Big Boomerang.
Labor Commissioner Peck's report is still
acting as the worst sort of bombshell,
and does not seem to have spent its force.
Peck has been so close to Hill that the
Senator will have to open his mouth now,
unless he wants it to be believed that he
was not wholly averse to seeing the fire.
works touched off. 1t is undoubtedly a |
very serious document for the Democracy |
in this State, and will do an immense |
amount of good to the Republican cause.
Coming as it did come, the executive officers
OF the National Republican Committee do
not hesitate to Say that they consider it one
of the most valuable documents the cam
Psign has yet seen.
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, and r.
R. Shiel, of Indiana, were at headquarters
to-day. Mr. Shiel saws that New York is
not the only State where the Republicans
are hard at work. In the other great battle
ground, Indiana, he SAYS things are going
along splendidly Still, he will not be averse
70 any aid the National Committee may see
fit to give him.
Chairman Carter saws he does not know
when President Harrison will return here.
He regrets greatly, he says. that the trip,
gramme, as far as the Presidents going to
Herkimer, Potsdam and other places is
concerned, has been definitely abandoned.
General Cyrus Bussey, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior, was very welcome
visitor at Republican headquarters to-day.
The General is not in very good health, but
proposes, nevertheless, to do what he can
during the campaign He said this morn
ing:
Impossible to tampede the West
.'The attempt of the Democrats to stam-
pede the Northwest by talk and a campaign
fund will not succeed. The issue in this
is free trade and particularly
tarltt. Democratic success In this country
would paralyze industries and throw thou
sands out of employment. Even talk of
Democratic success makes capital timid.''
The Republican campaign in this city
will be formally opened September II, the |
day of the Maine election. 1t is probable
that monster meeting will be held at
Madison Square, and it is proposed to have
q tremendous parade.
Democracy expects to spread itself about
the same time, and then the cauldron will
begin to boil, sure enough.
The only Pennsylvania to register at
headquarters to-day was j. p. Hall, of
Ridgway. Mr.. Hall Just wanted to shake
hands with the campaign managers. Felix
Craycraft, of Pittsburg, is on duty every
