and he seemed r. be DESTROYS Of seeing no one Ite
bore a resemblance to the xPresident except that
nc was not so stout When he stepped up to the
desk he handed his card 10 the Clerk asking for
whom he wished to see In whisper. The man was
Andrew Carnegie ana he had asked for the ex-
President. When spoken to by Tribune reporter
II at once plunged into tax about his recent trip
to Pittsburg and the libraries ont there lie SAID
IN a hurried sort Of way:
1--WE had a lovely time in Pitsburg. Everybody
was so pleased and / was gratihed TO know that
they enjoyed the library II was one OF the hap
piest moments of my life"
Are YOU ready say anything about that pro-
posed library at Homestead as yeti" Mr.. Carnegie
was asked.
This IS great country" he said, but we cannot
build a library in a day. You must give us time
am not ready to say anything about that"
Mr. Carnegie soon afterward went upstairs, but
he remained with the ex-President only few mo-
ments IN speaking of General Harrson's chances
he said:
He is going TO be a wonderfully strong candidate
next year There are many things to be summar
lied. but he is strong. He drove the coach well
once and that covers the secret Of his strength"
General Harrison declined 10 talk about ms Visi-
tors bur the politicians continue talk about his
visit and they say that the ex-President is making
some great strides Just at present; Every one ac-
knowledges that he IS astute and In his retlcehce
lies much Of his strength.
was the presence Of Senator Redheld Proctor In
the city. The fact noted that the last three
bv some coincidence Mr.. Proctor. who Pres-
dent Harrsons Secretary, of War has suddenly
appeared in the city. and that at other time has
senator Stephen b Elkins and Richard c Kerens,
member of the Republican National Committee
senator Ekins was in Harrison's Cabinet also
secretary of War Richard c. Kerens is known
a warm Harrison man; in fact he is said to be so

chances did not invite him. but instead asked
her of the National Committee before Mr.. Kerens.
They both had long talk with the eX-Presldent
for many years has been looked upon as Pres-
Dental possibility is declared to be another warm
Harrison man who has suddenly doomed up IN ,ne
city when the eX-President is also here General
Ayers friendship for Harrison led senator Sner-
man I'm his book to attack him for throwing MS
delegates TO General Harrison when, according 10
the Senator. they should have been given TO MN.
General Alger has replied warmly TO this assertion
and said that there never was a time, as senator
sherman contends when his (Algers) votes. com
bined with those OF Senator Sherman's. would nave
given the Ohio statesman majority OF votes IN me
convention, and then adds that he Instructed ms
frie nds TO vote first for General Harrison because
he was a soldier and then for Senator sherman.
This statement is taken as showing the lrlel,oshlp
o. Alger Harrison and II is said by the potlcai
takers that II the exPresdent is reelected General
Alger will probably get a good berth.
Senator Thomas II Carter, OF Montana, Is hn-
other politician Of National reputation VINO mas
called upon the ex-Presdent Mr.. Carter is char-
man OF the Republican National Committee ana ~
Is TO President Harrison that he owes his place AT
the head of this committee, so report says he Is
thought to be uncertain in his choice. but TO incline
toward the exPresldent. He has been In New orH
ever since the members OF the Executive committee
OF the Republican National Committee met mere 10
set a time for calling the National committee 70
geher. Ills visit 10 the eX-Presdent was naturally
TO he looked fol-. ..,
Of course. no Republican of National reputation
can visit New-YOrk at almost any time or the yea'
without meeting other Republicans or note,
and whether these comings and goings are mere
condolences or not they afford plenty or 1000 Ior
political gossip In these dull days.
