PRESIDENTIAL PLANS.
WHAT POLITICIANS SAY AS TO TH1
OUTLOOK.
REPORTED on roor-INFLuENcEs


OF VARIOUS DELEGATIONS
Tribune reporter yesterday talked with sew
eral of the many Republican politicians OF Na-
tonal reputation who are now In the CITY, ana.
from their comments upon the Presidential out
look he gathered the following impressions:
Ever since the recent celebrated political din
ner at the Brunswick held and the news OF
II became public property politicians have mad
well defined .dea about the who will at
tempt 10 bring about the nomination OF Thomas
g. Reed in the next Republican National Con-
yention If they can. Those who attended tho
dinner did not intend to let the fact that sucn
meeting had been held be known. but the news
leaked out The politicians recognized at once
I'm that cotere the same persons who had been
against Harrison in the last convention but who
had been defeated in the efforts to nominate
some one else rather than Harrison Repuo-
lican of National reputation in speaking OF the
matter said yesterday:
'The men who attended that Brunswick dinner
are exactly identical with those who attended
similar dinner at the Arlington Hotel In Wash-
ington some months ago That dinner came -
nothing because the Mckinley influence was too
strong to allow a compact The men who at
tended 1t are the same who were for anybody to
beat Harrison in 1892 They We're defeated then
Maybe they will be beaten again this next time.
Prominent Republicans say that these last
words may be indicative of the course that VIII
be followed by the Harrison men. "forewarned
is forearmed." and the Harrison men recognize
their opponents. The lines seem 10 be narrowing
and TWO great combinations are likely to he
pitted against each other in the next convention.
These two will BE- made up Of Harrison men
and Reed men But Mckinley and Allison wiz
also have many supporters.
GENERAL HARRISON NOT IDLE.
Ex-Presdent Harrison since his arrival IN
the city. has not been idle. Wel-known Repuo-
lcan politicians say that he has been engaged
upon personal business as he says. ana they
assert that the personal business relates 70 next
year General Harrison. they declare. recognizes
the fact that the strongest opposition 10 him Is
here in the East. He has seen many ot Ms
friends since he has been here. and some poll
ticians who watch the trend Of affairs closely
saw that the ex-Presdent is hard at work. Among
those whom he mas are stephen Is Elkihs'
Andrew Carnegie. General John W Nopir, eN-
Secretary Of the Interior Senator kennen ,,S uioe
for x-Secretary Of War, General LOUIS J. Mich
ener who is looked upon as an astute Harrison
man. c. L. Magee. of Pttsburg, the Ieanns
spirit in the recent revolt against Sena,p' x"a,
in that State. and many others. WIN All q,
these men he has talked about the situation ana
they are keenly alive to wha. is 70 be done.
It seems to be the popular belief tnat Sepano,
Ouay since his victory in PennsylNanna' Edh
swing his delegation any way that ne pleases: bo.
certain keen observers deny this and insist that II
Mr. Quay makes pledges he Is likely 10 mo .na.
he cannot deliver the goods New-fork state, IL
is conceded will go for Morton until sucn tinls
as IL Is shown that he cannot be- nominated ana
then those who assume to controi the ParS, ~, ~ l
believed NAV attempt TO throw the New-forA
votes to Reed Here is another place, say s1iir
politicians where a mistake is being made' III -
work in the State in the interest or eX-Presldent
Harrison If the delegations from fehnsyNalI"
and New-York can be split up, with the .otes
from the South that Senator Elkins can optaIn
and votes from other quarters or the country
which II Is said can be secured then Harrison
may possibly be nominated. some OF 'ne p, pon-
tIciars assert that this work is going on now
The defeated anti Quay combination in Pennsyi-
vania-that was routed, but not anninilatea-,s
said 70 be loyal to the eX-Preslneh.. anu ~ -
Thought may assume another stand TOT supreh-
scv in the Convention. and. II not swinging tne
state delegation. may at least take many of tne
delegates to Harrison.
INFLUENCE IN NETWORK.
The influence in New-York is working quietly
nut II may be felt and certain men who nave
nromised 10 throw the State delegation 10 thls or
that candidate may find that it will e. In another
direction or at least split. General Harrison mas
talked with ex-senator Warner Miller ana otner
New-York politicians since his arrival but none
Of those Interested will breathe WORD ABOUT ~
