The Subject TO be Explained From

TO the Tariff and other General
Issues.
Cleveland. o.. July B.-Under very
much more pleasant meteorological condi-
tions than those which prevailed yester-
day the members Of the executive COM
mittee of the republican national commit
tee reassembled in Mr.. Hanna's office this
morning shortly after 10 o'clock.
A few matters of detail determined yes
terday have leaked out. The work at
Chicago will be supervised by Henry c.
/ Payne Of Wisconsin, assisted by Chester
NJ. Dawes of Illinois, who viii be the
western secretary. At New York Secre-
tary w. NJ. Osborne Of Massachusetts
viii be in charge.
1t is understood that a vigorous cam
paign viii be at once instituted for the
| purpose Of meeting and combating the
free silver sentiment let loose under the
influence of the Chicago convention. A
sixty day campaign. il is assumed, will go
far towards setting the facts properly be-
fore the people, and this being done, the
members of the committee say confidence
is felt that the majority of the voters will
do as they have ever done in the past, de-
clare in favor of sound financial system.
Then, the remaining portion of the cam
paign may be devoted to the tariff and
other general issues involved in the strug-
| gle. 1t is conceded by members of the
m fnD haf 11a a.
| ment is so widespread that great necessi-
| ty exists for immediate work to counter
| act It and restrict its further growth.
The details of the campaign work We're
| settled at to-day's NEE ling which it Is
understood viii be the last Of the present
| series
| Maj. Mckinley could not arrange his
affairs so as to come to Cleveland to-day.
| and the members of the executive COM
! mittee left here at 1915 o'clock to visit
| him at Canton. Thence they will sepa-
/ rate and go to their several homes.
| Among the matters settled to-day are
! those relating to the preparation and pub
| ltcation of campaign matter of various
/ kinds; the selection of those to have
| charge or to be engaged in the work; the
/ appointment of subcommittee on finance
/ and public speaking. and conference, with
/ subordinate and auxiliary organizations.
No choice has yet been made of the
| ninth member Of the executive commit
| tee and II may not be announced until
| the advisory committee is named, and Il
may be that the place viii not be filed
| at all. Mr.. Hanna's notice has been called
| to a suggestion in connection with filltng
| this vacancy as solution or the New
| York complications, that is, TO give Mr..
! Platt the place and make Cornelius n.
/ Bliss treasurer of the committee. What
! consideration, if any, Mr.. Hanna gave
the suggestion can only be determined by
| developments of the future.
| Chairman Babcock of the congressional
committee and Thomas H. Mckee, the
] Il ala Of ha 1f to
| tiVes, were with the executive committee
i This morning. The former left at II o'clock
| for Washington, going by way of Canton
| to call on Maj. Mckinley.
After Mr.. Mckee had retired, p. s..
| Heath, who had charge of Mckinley lit
eFary bureau at St. Louis, was called in
| and spent nearly an hour with the COM
| mittee. He announced that the commit
tee had determined to consolidate the
! literary and printing bureaus, and that
| he had accepted the position of chief of
| the new bureau. Its work will be done
| at Chicago for both the eastern and west
| ern headquarters, and a large force of
assistants will be employed. Messrs.
Hanna, Payne Dawes, Durbin and Heath
| will meet at the Auditorium, Chicago on
| Monday next, to map out the work and
| actively enter upon it. This would indi-
| cate that in some respects, at least, the
| Chicago headquarters will be the more
| important and the work more extensive
| than that in New York.
Mr. Hanna did not 90 to Canton with the
| members of the committee. Mr.. Durbin
| also did not accompany them, but went
home on the Big Four afternoon train.
The advisory campaign committee, IL
! is now said, will consist of probably fir
| teen members. The list of names so far
! selected, is said to be Senator Proctor, OF
| Vermont Mr.. Plunkett, of MassachE-
| setts, Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York,
| Thomas Dolan, of Philadelphia, NJ. Lang,
| of Florida, Gen. Alger, of Michigan Sam
uel Talerton, of Chicago, Gov. Merriam,
| of Minnesota, Senator Shoup, of Idaho and
| H. Clay Evans, of Tennessee.
special to the Press from GAINESVILLE
| o., more than hints at a renewal of the
republican factional fight in Ohio this
year. 1t says: 'On Friday, the repub-
| lican league clubs, of GAINESVILLE, will ban
! quet Gov. Asa S. Bushnell, at which Mr.
Bushnells boom for the United States
| senatorship will be formally launched
The governor will be toasted as Senator
Sherman's successor.
Senator Sherman, it is known, has no
intention of retiring and he will without
doubt fight for a reelection.
This will open up the old factional
fight between the Sherman and Foraker
forced in Ohio. In 1892, after bitter
struggle, Sherman defeated Foraker for
the senatorship, but in the campaign of
| 1895 Foraker routed the allied forces of
| Mckinley and Sherman at the state con-
vention. nominated Bushnell for gover-
| nor, secured control of the state party
machinery and made Charles Kurtz ma
! A. Hahn
If Bushnell goes into the senatorial
! fight it cannot but make an opening for
/ Hanna and Sherman to contest for the re-
| covery of the supremacy in the state
which they lost at the GAINESVILLE conven-
/ ton"
