My Dear Sir: have received your
letter OF the fifth instant, referring to
the persistent effort Of the Republican
press to create the impression that
lack OF harmony exists between Mr..
Taggart and the executive committee
OF which / am chairman. While these
reports have not escaped my attention.
l have not deemed II necessary to con-
tradict them, or to notice them IN any
way. They are absolutely without
foundation. obviously manufactured by
the opposition for want OF better cam
paign material. From the very outset
there has existed between the members
OF the executive committee and the ma
tional chairman a perfect understand
ing and accord upon all questions relat-
ing to the management OF the cam
paign Nothing has occurred. or can
occur to disturb the harmony of our
labors. least of all the imaginings Of
the Republican press.

ing an active part in shaping the
destiny OF the campaign. Judge

Judge Parker today. He declared his
call to be purely social
Judge McConville and Mr.. Mclean
came from New York TO talk over with
Judge Parker the more practical side
of the campaign. The chairman of the
speakers bureau wanted some sugges-
tons from Judge Parker concerning the
assignment Of speakers and desired
also that Judge Parker induce a num-
Der of personal friends to enter actively
in the work Of stumping the country.
In connection with his visit il became
known that former President Cleveland
will not be asked TO make campaign
speeches. though it is believed that he
will make one speech before election
day. An address by the. former presl-
dent would be greatly welcomed by the
national committee and by the candi-
dates. Il has been learned definitely
that Mr. Cleveland will use his pen to
aid the ticket and some productions
may be expected very soon.

The Russian forces are pushing on to
