CARTER IN WASHINGTON
CONFERRING WITH HARRISON AND
OTHER REPUBLICAN,.

An Explanation Wanted About David
Martin, Quay's Representative, Being
at New York Headquarters - The
silk Stockings" Of Gotham Kicking
About It The Appointment OF
Deputy Marshals.
WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - Chairman
Thomas Henry Carter OF the republican ma
tional committee came to town this morn
ing and spent the Sabbath comforting with
number Of republican statesmen, includ-
ing the men who are engineering the pouti-
cal assessments, and this evening
saw President Harrison for a
time at the white house. IL
is said that Nc. Carter came by Preslden I
Harrison's request, 10 explain about the
national committees bringing David Mar
tin, Quay's representative, to New York for
local work. President Harrison having re-
ceived protesting letters about it from the
siEk-stocking republicans In Now York city,
who did not like the stories
published about Martin In New
York. Mr.. Carter, of course, would
nos talk about his visit TO the white house,
Indeed, he would not admit that he had
been there and when he was asked, "Wul
David Martin continue to aid the erepublcan
national committee IN New York would
only reply; "Well, he will not be employed
by the democratic national committee
except to add that "Mr. Martin is the
Pennsylvania member of the republican
national committee and has right to take
part In the campaign"
HARRISON NOT SATISFIED.
But from what Mr.. Carter would not say,
. ia A.
satisfy President Harrison, or rather
did not furnish him with reasons
calculated to satisfy the better clement in
the Republican party in New York city,
whose representatives had protested to him
against the prominence given Martin. Il is
believed that the President practically told
Chairman Carter that Martin must be kept
In the background, if not out Of the
New York city work, and that
he had made a great mistake in
bringing Martin into such prominence. AS
to the latter, Mr.. Carter tells his friends
privately that ne knew nothing personally
of David Martin, and took his assistance
entirely on Senator Quay's representations,
after seeing the President, who it is said
also told him that be was entirely unable to
say, on account Of Mrs. Herrison's o7ndi-
tion, whether the President would GO 10
New York or Chicago, or mako single
further public utterance before election
day.
APPOINTMENT OF DEPUTY MALsHALs.
Chairman Carter saw Attorney General
Miller about the appointment Of deputy
marshals aud supervisors for election day ,
especially in New York city. The attorney
general, 1t is stated, assured him that all
that were thought necessary by the repub-
lican national committee would be ap-
pointed, even il the government did not
have funds sufficient for all, since it was
thought that they could be compensated by
the campaign COMMITTEES just as though
they were private watchmen, with the fuuc-
tions and badge of a special policeman.
John l. Davenport, Of odOrous memory, is
to furnish the list for New York city. and
David Martin for Philadelphia. In the
south, aud especially In Alabama, numer-
GUS deputy marshals and supervisors will
also be appointed.
