BUzzARDs BAY, July 19.-Messrs.
Cleveland and Stevenson, accompanied
by General Ewing and a number Of
newspaper men, left this afternoon for
New York, via the Fall River line. AT
Fall River the party boarded the
steamer Pilgrim, where the employees
of the boat warmly welcomed Cieve-
land. The candidates were introduced
to large number of people on the boat,
and both appeared in excellent spirits.
New York, July 19.-The national
Democratic committee will meet in this
city tomorrow evening, for the purpose
of organizing and mapping out the pre-
liminary work of the campaign. On
Wednesday the committee will effect
permanent organization, and immedi-
ately following this will come a confer
ence between the committee and Cleve-
land and Stevenson.
The indications are still favorable to
the selection of William f. Harrity of
Pennsylvania as chairman of the ma
tional committee, but there has sudden
southern states. The committeeman,
who express doubts as to the wisdom of
selecting Harrity are frank in stating
that they fear Harrity's selection would
be displeasing to the regular New York
Democracy. The influence of Harrity
was potent in throwing the solid vote Of
Pennsylvania to Cleveland, and many
think the selection of Pennsylvanian
to lead the campaign might be construed
into an aHront to the New York friends
OF Hill. Efforts to secure an expression
from the Tammany leaders on this
point were unavailing.
4 A careful canvass of the national COM
mittee late tonight shows that what
ever the doubt in some quarters as to
the wisdom OF Harrity's selection, there
is unanimous desire to select as chair
man the man who is most agreeable to
Cleveland and Stevenson.
The reelection of s. p. Sherin OF In
diana as secretary OF the committee is a
foregone conclusion. 's-. ..s
One of the most important matters to
be considered by the committee is the
establishment of branch headquarters
in Chicago, in charge of sub-commit-
tee OF the national committee. This
buU-CUlHmltJ66, III IL contemplated, Will
have charge OF the campaign in Illinois,
Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa and other
western and northwestern states held
to be in the doubtful list.
"It is my Intention" said Chairman
Phelps of the Illinois central committee,
tonight, ito appear before the national
committee and urge the establishment
of western headquarters at Chicago. /
propose to convince them that with
proper effort, Illinois can be carried for
Cleveland and Stevenson"
In the past the notification of presl-
Dental candidates has been of formal
character, and usually the public were
not admitted. This year, however,
both candidates will receive the notifca-
tion at the same time and in the presence
of many thousands OF people. Madison
Square Garden has been fitted up with
all the decorations of typical national
Democratic convention, The crowd that
will assemble there tomorrow, will COM
plete the parallel, and it is probable the
enthusiasm of the occasion will rival
the scenes in Chicago few weeks ago.
The demand for tickets of admission has
been so great that hall FIVE times as
large would not accommodate all the ap-
plicants. The notification ceremonies
will occur tomorrow evening at s 80.
