To Succeed Carter as Chairman of the Re-

WASHINGTON, Dec. Special Mr..
Joseph H. Manley, the Maine Republican
on the National Committee, says the report
that General Clsrkson is 10 succeed Mr..
Carter as Chairman has no foundation what
ever. The National Committee has practi-
cally nothing to do during the next four
years, and the duties of Chairman are not
sufficient to be burden to anyone in view
of the result of the late election. Just now
:he craftsmanship of the Republican Com
mIttee Is an empty honor, and none of the
committee are disposed to deprive Mr.. Car
ter of the position. Mr. Manlev said his
visit here at this time had no political sip-
nifcance He did not attempt to see the
President, because his business was not in
that direction.
He did make call at the Blaine resi-
dence for short time and was permitted TO
go in the sick room to see his old and much
loved friend. He SAYS Mr. Blaine is still a
very sick man, but he is improving SLOWLY
but surely, and to use the patients own
words, he is ''going to pull through" Mr.
Blaine seemed to be quite cheerful and
would have chatted freely had not the at
tendants prevented him from entering into
conversation. Mr.. Manley takes a more
hopeful view of Mr.. Biaine's case to-day
than he did when he was here two or three
weeks ago. just before Mr.. Blaine's almost
fatal attack.
