THE CAMPAIGN MANAGERS.
Different Kinds OF Tactics ut the Two
Headquarters.
Correspondence of The Evening Star
New YoRK, August "a, 1892.
The mysterious happenings Mt the republican
headquarters in the last day or two have been
puzzling the observers not a little. They are
curious to know whether the alleged harmony
really does exist or not Some things that have
come to the surface have suggested to the
skeptical that everything is not SO lovely as was
supposed. The midnight conference Of Carter,
Ciarkson, Martin Of Pennsylvania and others
have led to the suspicion in certain quarters
that some further negotiations were necessary
before the completion Of whatever understand
ing is to be had to insure cordial cooperation
on the part of Senator Quay. This belief was
somewhat strengthened by the sudden departure
OF Chairman Carter ms soon as the conference
ended.
DEMOCRATS NOT GETTING TOGETHER FAST.
1t must be admitted, however, that the re-
publicans are doing better act of getting to-
gether" than the democrats, and those who are
anxious for democratic success are not little
concerned over some DEVELOPMENTS OF the past
few hours on that side The published state
ment that Senator Hills name was Kissed at
the first meeting Of the county democracy held
since the campaign opened has not been very
pleasing news to those interested in harmony
Certainly it was unfortunate from the stand
point OF those anxious to see the party get into
line that such an incident should have hap
pened. 1t does not have a tendency to bring
the friends Of Senator Hill very rapidly to the
front. On the other hand it strengthens the
belief that many OF them have expressed that
it is not the intention of those who are now
managing democratic politics here to recog-
nize the Hill element with any degree of cor
diaity.
The published reports indicating that there is
lack Of harmony at democratic headquarters
seem to be without foundation. Certainly
everything has moved on there smoothly SO far
as the public Is able to see. Chairman Dick
insons prompt announce ment when he came
back from the sea coast that he did not intend
to go to Chicago was undoubtedly meant to put
an end to the reports that plan had been de-
veloped to get rid of him, but the earnestness
and apparent cordially with which he and
Chairman Harrity are cooperating has ended
the talk in that direction for the present at
least.
NO HEADQUARTERS IN CHICAGO.
Nothing more is heard about the proposed
republican headquarters at Chicago. 1t seems
probable from what can be gathered, however,
that the project will be abandoned. 1t is pretty
well understood that the political leaders in
Illinois doubted the wisdom of it. and that
some of them, at least, advised against it. II
anybody has been able to find out really what
the plans with reference to it. however. he
has kept that fact pretty well to himself. The
policy of the republicans seems to be to make
quiet campaign, SO far at least as newspaper
publications go. Chairman Carter is not sound
ing a trumpht on the street corner
when he has &ny business to per-
FORM but goes quietly about it without any
talk. The location of the headquarters twenty
squares away from the political center doubt
less had this plan as one of its objects There
Is a marked difference between the two head
quarters in this matter of news giving and in
formation for the press and public. At the
democratic headquarters a gentleman expe-
rienced in that line devotes his time to the
preparation Of information for the press. He
Is supplied with an expert stenographer and
typewriter. who writes out at his dictation
sundry tidbits intended for the accommodation
and delectation of the press. This gentleman
is located IN large and airy room. which is
made more airy by two big electric fans
which nearly lift your hat off as you
pass them. Tables, writing material and
everything of this nature are scattered
about the room and everything is done to
make the guests feel at home and to keep it
well supplied with good democratic literature
Visiting politicians who call are promptly in
terviewed and their burning words manifolded
so numerously that all who call may have
copies supplied freely. If there are no
callers of such prominence to make a suffi-
cient supply of this class of matter the men,
bers of the committee are put through their
PAGES by the accomplished interviewer of the
establishment and the result laid before the
hungry newsgatherers.
STILL HUNT. O.,
At the republican headquarters it is different.
The fellow who gets any news there has To
