NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. 23.-General
Benjamin f. Harrison, after weeks stay
in this city, the object of which has been a
puzzle to many politicians, will start for
Saratoga to-day to visit his daughter, Mrs.
Mckee, and Ben Mckee, his grandson.
Political gossip was brisk last night as
the result of his visit here and the general
opinion seemed to be that the ex-President
has strengthened his fences during his
weeks stay in town.
According to q rumor current an agree
ment has been formed that may repay the
ex-President for his visit to this State.
General Harrison, ex-senator Warner Mil
Ter and Chauncey M. Depew, it is said, are
parties to the agreement. The plan Of
General Harrison friends is to make Har.
rison and Miller the National ticket next
year. Chauncey M. Depew will cut figure
in the campaign. it is said, and may take
it into his head to accept Cabinet posi-
ton in case General Harrison be nomi-
mated and elected
The plan will lead to split, it is said,
in the delegation to the Republican Ma
tional Convention from this State. The
State organization of the party and such
delegates as it may be able to elect will be
for Governor Morton first and for Reed as
second choice, unless circumstances
change before the convention meets.
General Harrison has some friends in
the State upon whom he can always call.
Next to Depew and Miller are several
members of the Union League Club. This
Presidential feeling has indeed reached
hot
cording to rumor, OF a coming contest for
the presidency of the Union League Club
for the ensuing year.
In Pennsylvania similar state Of affairs
exists, and it is admitted generally that
the friends of Reed and Harrison will fight
for the majority control of the delegation
to the National Convention from the Key
stone State. Christopher Magee, David
Martin, Governor Hastings, Andrew Car
negie and John Wanamaker are all
avowed Harrison men, while Senator Quay,
with the tremendous influence he exerts,
is supposed to favor the man from Maine.
Senator Proctor in Vermont, General
Alger in Michigan, James S. Ciarkson in
Iowa, General Kitchener in Indiana, Sem
ator Eikins in West Virginia, Richard c.
Kerens in Missouri and Senator Thomas
II. Carter in Montana, it is alleged, are
some of those interested in the Harrison
and Miller boom. General Garrison, while
avowedly for Senator Allison's nomina-
ton, has been won over, according to
rumor. to support General Harrison, if
the fight between him and Reed and Nc
Kinley grows hot.
Kerr Hardie, the English socialist
leader, delivered farewell address last
night under the auspices of the Socialist
Labor party of New York, in Webster
Hall. Hardie said that when he was in
the West and Northwest he found great
dissatisfaction with the existing condition
OF affairs, and that when he asked what
the farmers and cowboys were going to do
to right things they pointed to their Win
chester rifles and said, Bullets, if ballots
fail"
Mr. Hardie said he had been "all over
the country and had observed its great
wealth and resources" and added: "Yet
with all this wealth I have seen more
misery and poverty in your great cities
than exists in London, while England has
not one-tenth of the advantages of Amer
ica.''
Harde said the trades unions and the
Socialist party should stand together until
the latter had done away with the neces-
sity for the former. He urged the neces-
sity of an international socialist labor
party, and sad that he hoped that the
socialist congress in London next year
would be followed by an international
socialist congress in this country the year
He sails to-day on the Cam
pania.
Kate Field does not believe that many
women desire to vote. although she be-
lieves in their inherent right to the ballot.
She says in an interview on the subject:
women are not sufficiently enlightened
on the subject to want suffrage, and I am
not so sure that 1T is wise to give people
unless they show DEERE for il.
They would be just like deadheads, who
always growl. They never appreciate what
they get, while those who pay their way
sit out the show and generally like it.
II believe in the justice of woman's
suffrage. I believe they have as much
right to it as men, and do not agree with
Bishop Doane's article in the North Amer
lean Review that everything will go to
'demnltion bow-wows.' I don't find that
women in Wyoming and Colorado are a
bit different from women in the States
where they have no suffrage.
Women want some mental dissipation.
They want to get out of the humdrum ex-
istence they lead. Men have their clubs
and political meetings and such things to
give spice to their lives. but do not appre-
ciate the narrowness of the circle in which
women move. When women have such
serious things as politics to interest them
they will drop great deal that is trifiing.
eff any one in the world could reduce
the number of hours women devote to
shopping what blessing it would be.
There are no gadders on earth like the
American woman. If they gadded to some
purpose-if they took up fine cooking or
esthetic dressing, for instance, it would be
different"
remarkably interesting and brilliant
perfor nance of "Lohengrin' was given
last night at the Metropolitan Opera
house. Every one was in good voice.
Anton Seidl was at the conductors helm
and the house was full of musical ozone.
