President Harrison Taking Interest In the
RecrgnnisatiDn at ills Pnrty-A f"ssi-
billty for Attorney General la the New
Sabin.t-scnator Carlisle Talks on the
subI.e, OF an Extra session-it Depends
on contingencies
WASHINGTON. Nov. s.-onicials and
Others who have talked with President
Harrison since the election say that he
takes a deep interest and an active part
IN the consideration Of plans for the
future conduct Of the republican party.
They say that i'm all their talks with
them the presidents utteranccs have
tended To encourage them To activity
i'm the work Of organizing and strength
| ening the party. There has been. they
say. no dependency in what he has
said and he wastes no time in vain re-
grets. but is earnest in the feeling that
more than ever there is need for coln-
pactness and unity of purpose in the
party.
The discussion Of the reorganization
in the sense. not Of change in principle
or policy. but OF perfccting the manage
ment and methods. has already been
taken up by leading republicans, and
correspondence looking to the strength
ching of the organization has begun.
A permanent organization. with
workers who will keep up the work all
the year round and every year. instead
If trying TO do the work Of four years
in the few months before a presidcn-
tial election is what is aimed at.
Representative w. T.. Wilson. Of West
Virginia. chairman Of the democratic
committee. a leading membc of the
committee on ways and means against
whose reelection. n particularly vigor-
Gus fight vas waged by the repub-
licans OF that state. and whose namc
has been mentioned rs the probable at
encouragement in President Clcvcland's
cabinet. strongly favors the calling OF
a special session Of congress to con-
slider tariff legislation.
.'Thc true worth and value of 4 tariff
bill" he said. cannot be tested in 4
short time. and the effects are some.
times supposed to be what they are not
7 think il would be most ifnpolitic tc
place a new tariff hill before the coun
try inst before the election Of 1896
For this reason | favor the extra ses
sion idea. and think the sooner the pro
posed tariff changes go into effect thu
better will the final result be for oul
party"
Senator Carlisle. who IS known o.
one OF Mr.. Cleveland's closest ~politica
associates. was in Washington vester
dav. en- route 10 Chicago. where h
goes to visit his sons family. III
knows nothing of the intention of TIL
!, president-elect respecting an extra
session Of congress. bnt Senate
Carlisle said he did not believe MI
Cleveland could tell whether or not h
, would call an extra session. !. woul
, all depend upon conditions not yet dc
veloped, and which in the nature {
, things could not d%evelope until late
on. IF there is an extra session i
t said. sit will probably not mee
! until late in the fall. II d,
i ponds on circumstances. The tart
alone will not furnish sui
9 Gent reason for an extra session. TIL
financial affairs Of the government ma
be in such shape as TO make an extr
session imperative. 1t appears prob;
hle that we shall find that there Is nc
enough money in the treasury for tn
needs ofthc government. There is a 81
nation i'm the treasury which ever
thoughtful man who has considered ii
!, matter has forcsccn. There is an a
emulation of deficiencies and oblig
:, tions hat have been contracted ar
I will come over to us.
1T may be that this situation w
IA furnish reason enough why an ext
session should be called. We sha
q have to see what congress does ut II
session. If they do not repeal &
4 sherman law relating to the purcha
- OF silver. and take such other action
~ the situation demands, we may
10 swamped. Upon these things depel
IA the calling of an extra session"
