PoP0oRAT COMMITTEE MEETING
ST. Johns Wind Bureau May he Re
undated by j ne s, FORCES Toruo rro1x.


NEW YORK, Aug 10, 1896.-The Ma
tional Committee elected by the delegates
to the Chicago convention viii meet in
parlor DR. of the Fifth Avenue Hotel at
y O'Clock tomorrow, and win probably be
IN session until a late hour in tine day
A few members of the committee are
already in the city, and the others are
expected tonight.
Chairman James K Jones will preside
and full attendance of members is
expected, because the meeting will be an
important one.
Many important questions must abe4 de-
cided by the committee at this meeting.
First of all it viii have to select To-
cation for National headquarters Then
the plan of campaign must be decided
upon, and Chairman Jones, after consul
tation with party leaders from all parts of
the country. will announce the member
ship of the Eecutive Committee. If he
can induce men to serve he may also
appoint an Advisory Committee and a
Finance Committee.
1t may be that the National Committee
will officially repudiate the wind shop in
the Bartholdi Hotel and every person
connected with it. 1t is known that
Chairman Jones is much displeased by
the work, or rather the talking, done at
the wind shop. He denied all RESPONSE
bility for the place when he was mere last
week.
The national headquarters will no doubt
be located in Washington, but there will
be branch in this city. In the location
of the latter there will occur another
embarrassing situation. Treasurer ST.
John is paying for the Bartholdi head
quarters. He has paid for everything so
far, because the treasury of the National
Committee is empty. Under these cir
cumstances the committee cannot well
turn him down, yet it is doubtful if any
member win be willing to accept the
men he has appointed to places under
him. 1t is freely predicted that the Ma
tional Committee win make a clean
sweep and start the campaign with a
new deal all around.
Arthur Sewall the candidate for Vice
President, will be here in time to at
tend the meeting of the committee il he
has any suggestions to offer about the
conduct of the campaign.
