R. Dongh 'efty.. !. II. Cook, 'Standard Koeper. washing tox letter From our Reolar CorrfpoaJet.n "Whitelaw Hi il in :i y be forced iff the republican tick- It t in .1 lew dnvs." Such v'iv the startling words of n big republican who was a promi nent Ilni risen woi ker at the I Mi mien; oli.;eonventioii. Tl.i Harrison people are just be ginning to realize how greaf a blunder Reid's nomination was, and they also have a strong suspicion that they are the victims of a put up job, tint the anti-Harrison men, who it. will l remem bered controlled t h e Xew York delegation, prepared the whole scheme in advance so as to make Harrison's de feat certain before the peo ple, if they failed to accom plish it before the conven tion. If proof of this they point to the fact that a com mittee from '.he Xe.v York typographical union was in Minneapolis to vouch for Reid's having t u r n e d his newspaper office over t J un ion men a statement, by the way, that was misleading, inasmuch as no change had at that time been either made or fu'dy agreed upon. Now, it costs money to send a committee1 from New Y"ork to Minneapolis, and the Harri son folks want to know who sent those printers and who paid their bills out there, and if the Reid business was Hot prepared in advance, why they were seat there at all. These awkward questions to answer. It was to talk ubout this, as much as about the Cabi net and other vacancies, that Chauncey Depew was sent for. It was not believed that he knew anything about the in s i d e working of the Reid scheme, it being thought that he was imposed on at the ti,.ie; but his knowledge of New York politics is relied upon to aid in getting to the bottom of the matter..' Re ports have already come in from all set-t ions, stating that members of labor organiza tions will not. support any ticket with Whitelaw Reid's name on it; they refuse to Vote for a man .who for fif teen years has been one of the most persistant and pow erful enemies of organized la bor in this country. Friends of General Grant have also been n imerously heard from; they, too, refuse to support the ticket if Reid remains up on it. These things have alarmed Mr. Harrison and his mana gers, and they have started a movement to get rid of Reid. They hope to make the pressure so strong upon him that instead of writing the usual letter of acceptance Reid will decline, on the plea of important and complicat ed personal business requir ing all his attention, any other plea that may sug-gest itself to him; the important t hing being that he decline i loiise committee on Reform in the Civil Service, which in vstifCated tbe oViages made !i..v -Teddy- Roos-v, it of vin l ials in Raltimoie, is not cat 'ciliated to add to Mr. V.'ana ! inakei 's con iloi t during this I wa: m weather, a!th aughTed idv Roosevelt probably cu jjoys it greatly, as it is a ni.n j plele vindication of tln'ti uth j of his report. It charges Mr. j W'an ir.iaker with being i ; t her ei.t in ly ignorant of the tenas.f the law, or d.-t'T-, mined that thi- part i--alar violation tf it should not he puni.-hed. and says that the dismissals recommend; d by the civil service (oii,.inisr ia eis should have been made. After looking over tlie cal amler and seeing that all the appropriation talis, except the general deticienev h a l been passed, and that the House was a hni way a'.iead of the Senate, the democrat ic Representatives conemded that as nearly all 'if 1 h"in wished to o to l.hicao to hid p nominate the next Pres ider.t and Vice I'rt siileut, it miht be a ;ood scheme to H'ive the Senate a ch-uiee to catch up. So the House ad journed from Saturday unti Wedesday, and on Wednes day it will adjourn until Sat urday. Today it is hard to fiad a democratic Represent at h'e. They are all at Chicago, and a goodly number of Senators are keeping them company. Predictions sis to the result are not out of order; th re sult itself is too near to both er with guessing about if. It always makes a fellow feel bad, too, if he guesses wrong-. Chauncey Depew has, if re publican ollicials are to be be lieved, ut Mr. Harrison in a rather awkward predicament Mr. Harrison thought to tick le Chauncey and attach him permanently to the Harrison cunip by tendering him the v a cant Secretaryship of State, having been informed that Depew's business ar rangements with theYander bilts were such that he could not accept. What was his surprise, therefore, when De pew rook lu'icli at the White House and the offer was tmide him, to be informed that he. wanted.fi little time to con sider the matter, instead of getting the positive declina tion that was accepted. If De pew ac.'epts, and the impres sion appears that he will, something else will have to be found for Secretary Tracy. THE PLATF0B3I Aitopted by the Stile Convent ion May isth, 1S2. Resolved 1.
