REPUBLICAN PLANS.
Headquarters in Washington Under the
Charge of Mr.. Manley.

Washington, November 21.-Joseph H.
Manley of Maine left for New York last
night. During hissstsy in Washington
he consulted with some of the party
leaders here, and as result of the con-
ference it was decided to establish per-
manent headquarters for the Republican
National Committee here. AS Mr. Car
ter, the chairman, is detained in Monta-
ma by his business affairs, the work at
the headquarters will be under Mr.. Man
leys personal supervision. While Gen
eral Harrison had the Office of President
of the United States, he repeatedly urged
the leaders of the party to adopt the In
diana plan of permanent headquarters at
the Capital. The plan worked SO we'll
locally that he believed it would be even
more successful if applied to the field of
national politics. For some reason,
President Harrison's suggestions were
not adopted. Now, the clever men of
the party believe the time has come
when it should be-. During the sessions
of Congress. Mr.. Manley will have the
advice and cooperation of the Republi-
can members of Congress, and will at
all times be in communication with the
state and county committeeman of the
various states. 1t will be the purpose of
the committee to begin at the outset
campaign, which will include not only
the sending of documents to Republicans
throughout the country, but furnishing
to small country party papers letters
and other information. The National
Committee will cooperate with the Re-
publican congressional committee dur
ing the campaign-next year and with the
League of Republican Clubs. of which
J. S. Clarkson is president. A meeting
of the executive committee of the Ma
tional Committee will be held next month
whether in New York or Washington is
not determined. At that meeting an en-
deavor will be made to formulate plan
looking to decreased representation from
Southern States at future national con-
ventions. Some Republican leaders from
the South now WELD influence to which
thew are not entitled. 1t will be arpued
at the meeting of the executive commit-
tee that the representation from such of
the Southern States as are hopelesslv
demoralized shall be reduced to two dei-
egates each. In the border states like
Missouri, where the Republicans some
times control several congressional dis
tricts, full representation will be al
lowed.
