CARTER MAY OR MAY NOT RUN 1T
Republican Managers Think the Cam

Opened at Once.

republican national committee fol- a
sDecia. session in New York early in
January. Mr.. Carter has been somewhat
opposed TO taking this action on account
of the great expense and time involved
in bringing together the members Of the
committee from all over The United
States, bat he has been persuaded that
an early meeting Of the committee will
be for the best interest Of the party.
1t is understood that the advice OF
Senator Quay had not a little to do with
Mr.. Carriers decision. 1t is the intention
Of the republican managers to begin at
once the campaign Of 1896. 1t is to
begin that movement in an organized
and systematic fashion that the national
committee will be called together. The
first question that will confront the
committee will be as to its own organi.
zation. There has been a discussion
p~recipitatel by Vice Chairman NJ. II. De
Young of California as to who really is
the chairman Of the national committee.
Mr.. Campbell Of Illinois was regularly
elected to that position, but his resigna-
tiOn was accepted by the executive com
mittee and Mr.. Carter was unanimously
chosen to succeed him. This executive
committee was empowered at the last
meeting of the full national committee
to take charge of the campaign. That
somewhat indefinite commission makes
it a m 1tter of uncertainty as to whether
the executive committee had the power
to select a successor to Mr.. Campbell
and it is also a question whether the
executive committee. the campaign being
over, is even now in existence.
There will be 70 serious disagreement
over this question and its discussion will
an ably end in the election of a chair
man who may or may not be the present
G. irman, Mr.. Carter. The position Of
e., chairman of the republican national
CO" mittee is usually nothing but a name
during the four years which elapse be
tween presidential campaigns, now, how
nv. - l. nvpnotnA fhot OF tho oO,~inr
meeting of the national committee the
position of chairman will be made one of
important activity, not merely after the
next national convention, but during
ever month and week and day of the
period between now and then. In fact
it is TO bring this about that will be the
main purpose for calling the national
committee together at this time.
The campaign of 1896 will begin, if the
advice Of X-Chairman Quay and many
others is followed, in 1898. A PROPOSE
tioR will be submitted to the national
committee to establish permanent head
quarters either in New York or Wash
ington. Perhaps Chicago may be an
aspirant for these permanent h~eadquar-
tiers, but the principal contest will be be.
tween Washington and New York. This
probably will make the most spirited
fight in the meeting of the committee.
Many members of the national committee
do not wish TO see these headquarters in
New York, because they fear that its
management would fall under certain
local influences there which were recog
n'zed As detrimental throughout the re.
cent campaign.
There is almost an angry opposition
among members Of the committee TO the
suggestion that the permanent h~eadquar-
tiers be placed in charge IF Mr.. John
Muiholland, who is not known to party
leaders outside Of New York. Members
Oh the national committee who visited
Chairman Carriers headquarters during
the recent campaign were more than
once offended by local influences which

II /, probable that the proposed perma-
