THE COMMITTEES
For The Management Of The Democratic Campaign
Have Not Been Named, and Will Not Be, Prob
ably, Before Next Week..LieuL-Gov. Shee-
hans Posidon-He Will Likely Be on the
Executive Committee.

New YORK, July 22.-It is not ex-
pected that Chairman Harrity will an
nonnce the membership of the National
Democratic Executive Committee or the
Campaign Committee, Advisory Board
or other committees pertaining TO the
organization of that party before the
latter part of next week. He is now in
Philadelphia and will probably not re-
turn to New York before Monday or
Tuesday. In a series Of conferences
between Chairman Harrity, ,eX-President
Cleveland, General Stevenson, Hon. w.
c. Whitney, Senator Brice and men,
bers OF the National Committee
generally, it has been pretty
definitely settled that the members Of
the Executive Committee shall be Sc
lected as nearly as possible from the
representatives of the doubtful States.
OF course this rule cannot be rigidly
followed out in the southern representa-
ton on the committee, as the Democrats
contend that the solid South is prac-
tically assured to them in advance.
Despite this assurance, however, there
is manifested in some quarters conSid-
erable uneaSiness over the phenomenal
growth Of the Peoples party movement
in Georgia, South Carolina, Arkansas
and other Southern States.
So far as known Chairman Harrity
has not given the slightest intimation
| OF his intentions, but there appears 10
| be a general understanding as 10 at
least half OF the mem berShip OF the
Executive Committee. The Chairman
ex-oilicio will, Of course, be Mr.. Har-
rity himself. Lieut.-Gov. VIM. f.
| Sheehan. of New York, the National
Committeeman from the Empire State,
will almost certainly be selected as q
member unless he declines the
honor. Mr.. sheehan has long been
identified with the interests Of
Senator Hill, and was quite inconsolable
| and somewhat alarming IN his predic-
tions of the result when the National
Convention nominated Mr.. Cleveland
over the protests Of the New York dele
cation. 1t has frequently been stated
that Mr.. Sheehan would refrain from
active participation in the campaign,
and leave TO the people who nominated
Mr.. Cleveland the task OF carrying the
Empire State; but the interest which
Mr.. Sheehsn yesterday manifested in
the proceedings OF the National Com
mittee showed that these statements
had been made without authority.
During the morning reception il
was observed that the greeting
between Mr.. Sheehan and the ex-Presi-
dent was Unexpectedly friendly, and
when it was reported this morning that
the two had an extended conference
Yesterday afternoon, the public at once
/ Jumped 70 the conclusion that Mr.. Shee-
han would be a member Of the EXecu-
tive Committee. The young Lieuten-
ant Governor himself is very uncom-
municative on the subject, but his very
silence only tends 10 strengthen the i'm
preston that he will represent this
great pivotal State on the National Ex.
ecutive Committee.
Senator Brice, of Ohio, will OF course
be a member of the Executive Commit.
tee, as it is generally understood that
he will not decline to serve in that ca.
! pacity.
