IN THE POLITICAL field
Points in the Coming Campaign
Waited from Chicago.
HARRISON'S FRIENDS ACTIVE
They Propose to Displaco Chairman
Carter - Senator Sherman Gives
Views Upon President Glove.
land and Senator Brico.

Chicago, Nov. "a special dispatch
to morning paper. from Indianapolis.
Ind, says:
1t is highly probable as a result Of
the conference Of local Republicans
with ex-Attorney General Kitchener,
Friday night, that the friends of Mr..
Harrison will move early for the dis
placement of Chairman Carter, of the
National Republican committee and
the substitution of an out and out Har-
rison man, at least of one who will be in
accord with the majority sentiment Of
the party in the matter Of financial
legislation.
1t was reported here yesterday that
the subject was discussed Friday night
and Mr.. Michener assured the other
gentlemen present that O majority Of
members Of the committee were in ac-
cord with Chairman Carter in his views
on the silver question. He is known to
be opposed to Harrison on this ground
and is quoted as saying that Harrison
could not be elected The friends Of the
ex-President feel that the committee
can be re-organized and In such a re-
than likely to control the election Of a
chairman. Local Republicans are anx-
ious that change in the craftsmanship
should follow and it Is understood that
Harrison's friends on the committee
were notified that Mr.. Carter Is not ac-
ceptable to the ex-President and not
likely to be to the party at large, which
Is in favor of sound money and whose
convention will in all probability de-
clare In favor Of maintaining the pres
ent attitude Of the government towards
the coinage Of gold and silver. No one
has been suggested for the place, but
1t Ia said the candidate will come from
the east.
Senator Sherman Interviewed.
"A special despatch to q morning pa
Per from cleveland says: Senator
Sherman gave an interview here last
nisInt in whlch he gives his eStima tes
CT THE abilities of his colleague, Sena-
tor Brice, and of President Cleveland.
Senator Brice." he remarked, 'is
clever fellow, but 1t is an outrage that
he should represent Ohio In the senate.
Mr. Brice used to come to Washington
on Tuesday and go away on Friday to
New York-never to Ohio.
"Ohio wool growers are dlsaffeoted,
and 1t Is am internal outrage that Mr..
Brice should have represented Ohio in
the senate when the wool measure was
before congress. His vote would have
prevented wool from going on the free
list. Free wool has cost the country
forty or fifty million dollars"
Referring. to President Cleveland, Mr..
Sherman said:
'iMr. Cleveland Is a man of marked
abiltty, but ne Is stubborn. He has
ideas and insists upon them. Were
he president like lincoln he would
refuse to assume any part of the re-
sponsibillty for the legislation or ad-
ministration of the departments. My
idea Of tine president is that of pre-
siding and executive officer-not a
tyrant, dictator, or q meddler. The
applicants for office should not see
him at all.'
"When said Mr.. Cleveland is a man
of marked ability did not mean he Is
good president. Congress appro-
PIRATES the money for the use Of the Sec
retaries and not for the president, and
the responsibilities are upon the secre-
tarieS.
General vandcrvoOrt Is Sauguinc.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 3.-General Paul
A. Vandervoort. commander in chief
Of the National Legion, the national or
ganization Of Populist clubs, stated to-
day to the correspondent Of the United
Press that while the Populists did not
expect to carry any state, their vote
this year would be, on the whole, so per
cent. greater than in the states which
hold elections next Tuesday than last
year He expects the greatest gains in
Iowa, Kentucky and Ohio.
Nebraska Has FiveTickets.
Omaha, Nov. 3.-The state election in
Nebraska is for one Judge Of the Su-
preme court and two regents Of the
State university. There are five tickets
Rol
Sound Money Democratic" Populist
and ProhibitiOnist. Last year the Re-
publicans carried the state on all state
officers, except governor, by from $1,000
to $1,000 plurality.
BY fusion of Populiste and Silver
Democrats the fusion canuIjate for
governor was elected by 5000 majority.
There is no fusion this year and indi-
cations are that Chief Justice T. L.
Norval, re-nominated by the Republi-
cans, will be reelected.
