NEW YORK, Aug. 23-Another states
man who is to have much to do in the direc
tion OF the Republican national canvass
appeared in the city to-day in the person Of
Mr.. David Martin, of Philadelphia. With
General Clarkson in person, Senator
Matthew Stanley Quay represented by Mr..
Martin as proxy, and special wire to w.
W. Dudley at Washington, the famous tri-
umvlrate which piloted Harrison and Nor
ton to victory in 1888 will be in practical
charge of the political fortunes of Harrison
and Reid for the campaign in 1892.
David Martin is Senator Quay's personal
representative, and he comes to help Chair
man Thomas Henry Carter to run the Re-
publican campaign, sent by Mr.. Quay at
Mr. Carter's request The latter's recent
visit to the Quaker City was made for the
purpose of arranging for Martins coming to
New York Martin is the local political
leader of Philadelphia, having practically
superseded McManes through the assistance
of Senator Quay, and with the aid of Fed
eral patronage. -Four years ago he was
only ward boss, and had not held Office of
Councilman.
Martin rs Quay's Best Man.
When Senator Quay had placed Harrison
in the White House, and before the Presl-
dent began to give evidence of his lack of
gratitude to that leader, the Senator
selected Dave Martin as his personal repre-
sentative in Philadelphia He also secured
Martins appointment as Collector of In
ternal Revenue, but his was not considered
H., II, bos ;s+in
guished Harrison appointments from that
city, and ne was soon requested to resign,
it was said-at any rate, he did resign.
Martin is an experienced, practical poll
tician. With Quay, Clarkson and Dudley
interested in the canvass, there is expected
to be great deal more wood-sawing and
less talking on Murray Hill
Another Philadelphia who came to town
to-day to learn what is doing at Republican
national headquarters and what is expected
of the Pennsylvania Republicans was ex-
Minister to Russia Charles Emory Smith,
editor of the Philadelphia Press He said
he was only a looker-on, but he had no
sooner registered at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel than he started In the direction OF
Chairman Carter's headquarters.
A Lively Little Interview.
Chairman Carter had lively interview
with ex-Congressman /. P. Featherston, of
Arkansas, in his little private Office. Gen.
eral Clarkson also took hand and alto
gether Mr.. Featherson had q rather un-
comfortable time. Featherston was mem
Der of the Fifty-frst Congress from the
First Arkansas district, and was defeated
two years ago for reelection, by Henderson
Cate. He was q union labor man, and has
cast his lines with the Farmers Alliance,
and has been renominated by the Third
party and the Republicans this year.
Mr. Featherston had been called to New
York to confer with the Republican cam
for electlng some Republican Presidential
electors in the Southern States, and is e1-
pected to assist in the making up of COM
posite electoral tickets to be voted by the
Republicans and the Third party men.
Featherston's presence in the city and the
character of his mission were to have been |
kept a secret, but a Republican paper made |
both PUBLIC today, and Featherston was
accused of having leaked. He assured |
Chairman Carter and General Clarkson that |
he was innocent
Senator Bishop W. Perkins, of Kansas,
was one of the callers at headquarters He |
told the managers that the hope of Chair |
man Harrity's committee to carry Kansas |
would never be fulfilled.
General Clarkson. President of the Re-
publican League of Clubs, said to-day that |
at the meeting of the League at Buffalo,
September 15 and 16, more than 2 900 dele
gates will be present. Whitelaw Reid.
Thomas B Reed, Governor Mckinley and |
Congressman Dolliver are among those who
are to deliver addresseS
A Peep at Democratic Headquarters. n
Senators Randall Gibson, of Louisiana, and
George Gray of Delaware, were among the
numerous callers on Chairman Harrity and
Chairman Dickinson at Democratic Ma
tional headquarters to-day. The former
called to assure the managers of the Cleve-
land and Stevenson campaign that there
need be no fear of the Democracy losing the |
electoral vote OF Iowa. and that the Repub-
lican pretentions that they have even the
slightest chance in that stronghold of Dem
ocracy are most ridiculous.
Senator Gray, one of the most brilliant
orators of the Democracy, called to confer
with B. B. Smalley regarding the work
which he is expected to do on the stump,
but Mr.. Smalley was out of the city and
Senator Gray will see him tomorrow.
Chairman Thomas Taggert, of the Demo-
cratic State Committee of Indiana, arrived
this evening, to consult with the campaign
managers regarding the work necessary to
be done among the Hoosiers to wrest the
State from the Republicans.
E P. Speer, of the Atlantic Journal, who
paid his respects to Messrs Harrity and
Dickinson, said, regarding the Georgia
situation: 81 do not regard the Presidential
in Georgia with any sort of dis
trust. The Third party people are counting
on the colored Republican vote to help
along their ticket N the October State cleo
ton, but they won't poll half of it. North
ern, the present Governor, has most &C.
ceptable record, and the coiored people re-
spect him and will vote for him. Ny judg-
ment is that he will beat Peek, the Third
party candidate, 40, 600 votes, and that the
State will give the Democratic national
ticket an equally large majority.
The Serious Business on Hand.
The serious business the Democrats have
On hand is the election in two or three dis
tricts. Watson is q good campaigner and
akIng speaker on the stump The Demo-
,rats have put strong candidate in the
ield against w atson, Mr.. Black, of Augusta, !
Who, if elected, will easily make his mark I
n Congress 1 don't think our Northern
friends need give themselves any concern
bout Georgia or Alabama Both are safe
or Cleveland" {
One of the rumors which was set afoat 6
o-day was to the effect that Richard Wat 1
on Glider, the poet, is preparing a cam I
,sign life of the Democratic Presidential g
which will be circulated by the
National Committee. Z
