A Newspaper Article Concerning the Ex-
President’s Chances of Renomination
Which Has Caused Much Dis-
cussion In New York.
NEW YORK, May 24,—Politlcal circles
of this city are greatly interested in the
following article, published in The Sun,‘
which has afforded almost the sole topic of
conversation today: The Hon. Benjamin
Harrison. since he" has been in town, has
not discussed the political situation in his
party with any newspaper man. He has
refrained also from speaking, even in the
remotest degree, as to his own chance for
the nomination for president next year.
He has received many visitors and talked
with them on many subjects. however,
and naturally there have been many leaks.
The result is the impression, based upon

I
THOMAS H. CARTER.
the best authority, that if certain hillocks
can be surmounted General Harrison will
be a candidate in the Republican national
convention next year. One of the chief ob-
stacles to be surmounted, it was ascertain-
ed, is the Hon. Thomas Henry Carter, the
new silver senator from Montana and
chairman of the Republican national com-
mittee. '
Mr. Carter is one of General Harrison’s
creations. General Harrison gave him a
good place under his administration as
land commissioner at Washington, and
when a score or more of eminent Repub-
licans refused in 1892 to run Mr. Harri-
son’s campaign for him he picked out Mr.
Carter. Mr. Carter was‘ a failure. He
lacked the confidence of his associate mem-
bers of the Republican national commit-
tee. But now Mr. Carter is a silver sena-
tor from Montana, and he is still chair-
man of the Republican national commit-
tee. Mr. Carter had a talk with General
Harrison. SO did B. F. Jones of Pittsx
burg and Cornelius N. Bliss, and Mr.
Carter immediately afterward left town.
He went to Washington on his way home
to Montana. The Republicans who under-
stand the significance of Mr. Carter’s visit
said that he must not remain as chairman
of the Republican national committee.
They said that he was a free silverite, and
that any such person as head of the com-
mittee would bring disaster to the Repub-
lican candidate, whether he is General
Harrison, Governor Morton. Representa-
tive Thomas B. Reed, Senator William B.
Allison or Governor McKinley.
“Tlie'Sinews of War.”
In the gossip over this matter it was
demonstrated what has long been known
in Republican national politics—namely,
that the slnews of war in the campaigns
of that party are usually forthcoming from
Pennsylvania. New York, the middle and
the New England states, and all the testi-
mony was to the effect that Cornelius N.
Bliss, as treasurer of the Republican na-
tional committee. no matter how sound a
gold man he is, cannot hope to receive
substantial contributions for any candi-
date Of his party as long as Thomas Henry
Carter, the free silverite‘ from Montana,
remains as chairman of the national com-
mittee.
The Hon. B. E. 'Jones and his friends
would not talk about this subject, but
those familiar with the situation said that
Mr. Jones agreed with any views that the
friends of Mr. Bliss might advance, and
this led to the statement that Mr. Jones
might eventually be selected as the chair-
man of the committee to succeed Mr. Car-
ter. There was one obstacle to this, and
that was the doubt as to whether Mr. Car-
ter would resign. He cannot be removed
before the next meeting of the Republican
national committee, which will not be un-
til February probably. Mr. Carter. ton
certain extent, has the whip hand of the
situation just at present. He comes from
the section west of the Mississippi river,
which, according to all reports. is ablaze
for silver.
Eastern Men Oppose Carter.
The executive committee of the Repub-
lican national committee is: Chairman,
Joseph H. Manley; secretary, W. M. Hahn;
treasurer, Cornelius N. Bliss, and Mr.
Clarkson, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Bradley, Mr.
Korens. Mr. Fessenden, Mr. Hobart, Mr.
Sutherland, Mr. Martin, Mr. Carter and
Mr. Payne.
The executive committee in the majori-
ty of instances is the oontrolliiig body of
the national cemittee, and if it has to
deal with Mr. Carter's status it is only
necessary to recall that Mr. Manley is from
‘Maine, Mr. Hahn from Ohio. Mr. Bliss
from New York, Mr. Clarkson from Iowa,
Mr. Campbell from Illinois. Mr. Bradley
from Kentucky, Mr. Kereiis from Missou-
ri, Mr. Fess‘enden from Connecticut, Mr.
Hobart from New Jersey, Mr. Sutherland
from New York, Mr. Martin from Penn-
sylvania and Mr. Payne from Wisconsin.
Many grave questions have come up dur-
ing General Harrison’s visit which have
not received the full flood of daylight, but
nothing more important has developed
than the determination of influential Re-
publicans from Pennsylvania, New York.
New Jersey and the New England states
to get rid of Mr. Carter as head of the Re-
They said
yesterday that they wanted to be relieved
of Mr. Carter in'as nice a way as possible.
They do not wish to affront any of Mr.
Carter’s friends. but they could not for
the life of them see how any successful Re-
publican. national campaign could be con-
ducted if Mr. Carter is head of the com-
mittee. The manufacturers of the east
and their friends, and many others engag-
ed in commercial pursuits and in banking
affairs. they declared, would not contrib-
ute Ii dollarto the treasury of the Repub-
lican national committee if Mr. Carter is
allowed to remain as the chief of that body.

STONE FOR SEXATOR.
The Ex-Congsessman's Friends Would Lila
Him to Represent Kentucky.
WASHINGTON, May 24,—Whilc ex-Repre-
sentative Stone declares himself not to be
a candidate for the United States senate
from Kentucky his friends are quietly
working in order to see that his claims
may be properly presented in case there is
Ii deadlock when the legislature meets next
January.
There are certain reasons that make Mr.
Stone a possibility in the race for the sen-
atorship. The western part of Kentucky
has not had a United States senator cho-
sen wit-hin its borders formany years. The
people living there claim that eastern Ken-
tucky has been unduly honored in this ro~
spect and look upon Mr. Stone as the man
who would fully represent them. The ex-
congressman is a farmer, and although he
lost one leg in the war can still follow the
plow and perform other duties of the farm
quite as Well as any other man. The pop-
ulation of Western Kentucky is made up
of farmers chiefly. and Mr. Stone has many
elements of popularity.
Now that Mr. Blackburn has opened
fire on Secretary Carlisle. and the latter
has made a “gold standard” speech, it is
regarded as certain that under no circum-
stances can these two factions of the Dem-
ocratic party in Kentucky come together.
Besides Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Stone is the
most prominent Kentuckian in the polit-
ioal field who has come out squarely for
free coinage of silver.
It is possible that Mr. McCreary will be
pushed forth as a compromise candidate,
and that he will have a very strong back'
ing, but Mr. McCreary has always main-
tained that free coinage of silver is some-
thing that can be brought about only
through an international agreement, and
if there is anything that causes the ire to
rise in the breast of a Kentucky silverite
it is to talk about infernational agree-
ments.
Prominent Kentuckians in Washington
say that the feeling of Mr. Carlisle’s friends
against Mr. Blaokburn, on account of his
bitter attack on the secretary, has grown
steadily during the past week. They say
that Mr. Cnrlisle’s speeches will be read
in every home in Kentucky, and that they
Will have an enormous influence in turn-
ing the tide against free coinage in that
state.
Mr. Stone has left for Kentucky, and a
number of arrangements for him to speak
have been made. He will not announce
himself as desiring the nominption, but
will be “in the hands of his toenail?"
Resolutiéns by Texas Republicans.
Heus'rou, May 24.—Tho executive com-
mittee of the Republican league clubs of
Texas have adopted a resolution to the ef-
fect that the money plank in both national
and state platforms should be squarely and
unequivocally in, favor of sound money
and should be written so there 'could be
no mistaking the position of the party. A
Texas Republican on the next national
ticket was strongly advocated. Delegates
to the national meeting at Minneapolis
were appointed.

A BIG TEMPERANOB RALLY. “I
Arrangements Completed For the Pro-
hibitionlsts’ Convention In London.
__ CHICAGO, May 24.—A special dispatch
from Miss Frances Willard. dated from
Eastnor castle, Ledbury, England, Lady
Henry Somerset’s country seat, says that
all the arrangements have finally been
completed for the world’s temperance con- ‘
vention to be held in London next month.
Already the names of delegates have been
received from the United States, Canada,
Madeira islands, Madagascar, Norway,
Newfoundland. Egypt, China, New Zea-
land, India. Denmark, Germany and Ja-
pan.
The American and Canadian delegates,
escorting the great polyglot petition, will
sail from New York the first week in June.
The opening Of the convention proper is to
be preceded by a great demonstration in
Albert hall. The delegates will march in
procession costumed according to the coun-
tries from which the" ("-ziie, and as they
appear upon the plnii‘ - '"l a hand of 100
pieces will play their national air, while a
choir of 1,000 voices will sing. The hall
is to be festooncd with the great polyglot
petition. Queen Victoria has given special
instructions that tho delegat s be given
the freedom of Windsor park and castle for
one day Of the convention. It is notewor-
thy, moreover, that the three probably best
known churches in the world—Spurgeon’s
tabernacle, Dr. Parker’s city temple and
Wesley’s cit-y road chapel have been placed
at the disposal of the leaders of the tem-
perance movement. It is probable that
Miss A'ckermann and Mrs. Helen M. Bar-
ker, who are Baptists; Mrs. Clara. C. Hoff-
man, who is a Congregationalist, and Mrs.
Kate Lento Stevenson, who is a. Methodist
(besides being a graduate of the theolog-
ical department of the Boston university).
with Mrs. Wheeler Andrew and Dr. Kate
Bushnell, who are of the same persuasion,
will occupy these three representative pul-
pits. Lady Somerset, Miss Willard and
Miss Lillian Phelps of Canada will also
occupy pulpits on the Sunday before the
convention. .
