THE REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE,
What Is Said About the New Chairman at the
Capitol.


Capitol.
The reorganization of the republican ma
tional committee and the somewhat unusua
interest attending it we're talked about quit.
freely at the Capitol today. While republican,
we're disposed to be cautious and reserved il
what they said, it was plain that the Harrison
men felt Gen. Ciarkson and his friends hat
acted in reprehensible manner, while the anti
Harrison men thought Garrison had beer
treated shabbily, to say the least The feeling
between the two wings Of the party lns evil
IDENTIFY not been dissipated by the events attend
ing the national committee meeting.
A Harrison man who did not care to be quoted
said to The STAR representative today that the
polite thing for the men on the national com.
mittee who had opposed the Presidents renomi
nation to do was to stand aside willingly and
allow the Presidents friends to make their own
arrangements for running the campaign. II
was not the first time a chairman of the national
committee had opposed the man who got the
nomination. but if it was true, as stated. that
Gen. GARRISON thought he should have been
reelected, it the first time in the history OF
the committee when q chairman so situated
took that view. 1t was Extraordinary
question about yielding to the Presi-
dents wishes in the matter of the selection OF
the chairman. The President naturally wanted
a man who had not opposed his nomination to
conduct his campaign for reelection.
TWO SENATORIAL OPINIONS.
Senator Quay was not disposed to say much
about the reorganization Of the committee this
morning. When asked about ii by The star
man the Senator said: 81 think Mr. Campbell
was the ablest and most efficient Of the men
named by the President for the place."
Senator Cullom of Illinois spoke very brightly
broad-shouldered, broad-minded, broad gauge
man, he said. II think he was generally re-
garded rs the ablest member Of the committee.
He has had long experience in politics in ILL
nois and has been a member OF the national
committee for many years. As to the objection
that he has not had sufficient experience in
strictly national politics don't think there ia
anything in that. Because one set of men have
managed campaigns successfully is no reason
why other men can't do the same thing.
"Mr. Campbell didn't want the position of
chairman Of the committee" Senator CuIlom
continued. when 1 saw him Yesterday morn
ing he declared positively that he could take it.
and 1 don't think that he is entirely reconciled
to it yet. But when he learned that it was the
Presidents desire he should take it, as well o.
the desire Of the national committee, he
yielded"
Mr.. CAMPBELL AT THE CAPITOL.
Mr.. Campbell, the new chairman, was at the
Capitol today and held n sort of levee in the
marble room. Several republican Senators
whom he had not met were introduced to him
by Senator Cuiloni, and he had protracted chats
with them.
Mr.. Campbell is heavily built gentleman.
with a large. good-natured clean-shaven face
and keen eve. He looks like man who is
full Of business and has an unlimited stock of
energy on hand.
