number of the Republican national
committee. There were also present
other prominent politicians Of the

were: Chairman Carter, J. s. Clark
son of Iowa, J. H. Msnley Of Maine,
Powell Clayton of Arkansas, William
J. Campbell of Illinois, G. A, Hobart
of New Jersey, Samuel Fessenden of
Connecticut and Senator Quay of Penn
sylVania.
Chairman Carter took occasion to
say that he did not think it wise for
the Republicans to be too confident.
Although 1t was apparent that victory
was In the air, he said, there were rea.
sons why il was not well to be opti.
mistiC to degree of csrelsssness.
He thought the grave questions be.
fore the country might well cause the
Republicans to pause and reflect. The
President had placed himself squarely
in favor of retiring the credit money
Of the country. 1t was possible the
financial centers Of the country agreed
with him. There was no doubt a
course of that kind, If pursued, would
make Popullstic votes Mr.. Carter
called attention to what he styled the
remarkable growth of the Populist
vote.
He said it had increased 240 per cent.
during the past three years. This
great growth had not been developed
In the National Legislature, as there
were less Popullsts in the House than
in the Fifty-secOnd Congress, but the
vote In the different elections showed
a Populist increase, which 1t was. we'll
for the Republicans to take into con.
sideration. Mr.. Carter was charged
with being pessimist and different
members Of the committee said that
with platform enunciating straight
Republican principles there could be
no doubt of victory with any Of the ex
cellent men who were mentioned for
the nomination to the head Of the
ticket,
