WASIIINOTOS , D. C. , Juno 27.--Spoclal [
Telegram to Tun BEI : . ] Tbo national repub
lican conn.ilttco today organized for the
presidential campaign of 1BU ! by electing
Hon. W. J. Campbell of Chicago its chair
man ; M. H. Do Young , editor of the Snn
Francisco Chronicle , vlco chairman ; Corno-
llus N. Bliss , the Now York bnnKor , treas
urer , anil Land Commissioner Tom Cnrtor of
Montana , who did such good eorvico for
President Harrison at Minneapolis , secre
tary.
tary.Next to tbo election of its onlcoM , which
was in all cases unanimous , the most im
portant fcuturo of the session was the propo
sition of Delegate Scott of West Virginia
looking to the reformation of the present
method of apportioning delegates to the na
tional convention. Mr. Scott proposes that
hereafter delegates ahull b apportioned to a
tnto not according to the electoral votes to
which It Is entitled , but in proportion to the
republican votes It casts.
Will He Considered Later.
This proposition Is eminently just and rea
sonable. Though his motion was today laid
over till some future meeting , the sentiment
of the members Individually expressed
showed that there Is likely to bo action taken
on it before the next convention moots' . Mr.
Scotl's'proposltion of asslsnlng n delegate
for every 7,000 republican votes cast for
the republican candidate at the last preced
ing election Is merely tentative und tbo ratio
will doubtless bo considerably decreased. It
> vns n subject of much comment nt Minne
apolis two week npo. that states which were
hopelessly democratic should play HO import
ant n part In the selection of the republican
candidate for the presidency.
Mr. Campbell , the newly elected chairman
of tbo committee. Is n very prominent lawyer
of Chicago , who has always taken nn active
Interest In politics. Ho was the president of
the Illinois senate at the time of tlio light
which resulted In the election of General
Logan to the United States senate. Ho has
boon n member of the national committee for
two or thrco turms , und was ro-clcctcd by
bis state delegation at Minneapolis unani
mously.
Joynl to the 1'rcsltloiit.
Ho is a warm friend ot the president , not
withstanding the fact that when ho was an
Applicant for the position of collector of
the port it Chicago the president turned him
down and appointed another man. Mr.
Campbell Is a man accustomed to handling
Inrgu affairs. Ho Is resolute , determined ,
ilcnt nud n man of excellent judgment. Por-
aonally Mr. Campbell is a man of line pres
ence , courteous In manner , affable lu conver
sation , but entirely diplomatic. Ho Is abnut
45 or 4Syears ; of ago.
Mr.-CampbcU's selection was first sue-
gcslod by Secretary Husk and Mr. L. T.
MichonoK both of whom have n great ad
miration for the qualities possessed by the
now clmirmnn , mid urged bis peculiar Illness
for the position. Tbo statement is bolng
made bore tonight that ono point which
counted inreoly In Mr. Campbell's favor in
the minds of the connuitteomen was that
cnminc from Illinois bo would largely offset
whatever popularity the addition of Mr.
Btovcnson'u name might glvo to the domo-
cratlo ticket in that state
Mr. L. T. Michoncr sold this evening :
"Mr. Campbell is ono of the shrewdest poli
ticians In the country. In my.opmlon it was
by far the bast selection that could bavo
boon mado. "
Montana Complimented.
It was a handsome compliment which tbo
committee paid Montana in selecting Hon.
Thomas 11. Carter us Its secretary. Mr.
Carter bad arrived In Vnshincto.i but n few
minutes before bis selection , which was the
llrst news ho received when bo reached Iho
hotel whcro the committee was in session.
Mr. Carter's train was several hours delayed
In Its arrival from the west , It being in n
torrilla collision in Pennsylvania , but ho
escaped unhurt. Mr. Cat-tor therefore
had nothlnir to do xvlth bis pre
ferment. When ho arrived ut ccotnmlttoe
bciulijunrters ho wus called fur und
escorted to his seat on Iho platform nmU
cheers. Mr. Carter is popular everywhere ,
but bis popularity was never moro apparent
than bolero the national committee tod'ny.
At first hu was \\llling to accept the
place , but it wus Insisted that ho must do so
nnd ho llnullv contented. It Is understood
thnt ho will resign his federal position very
soon nnd devote nil hl.i time and energies to
ibo campaign till nftor the election. It i"
conceded that Carter's selection wus tbo
Very host that could buvo been mado.
Thoio was perfect harmony nt the moot
ing. All ot the olllccra selected nro emi
nently capnblo nnd enthusiastic friends of
the president and all nrndict nn overwhelm
ing success at the polls in November.

CINCINNATI , O. , Juno 27. Tbo nomination
for candidate for president of the national
prohibition party will not go by default this
year , but to nil appearances It will bo neces
sary that there shall bo a roll cnll before tbo
nomination Is mado. The unusual scene in a
natlonnl prohibition convention of moro than
ono name being earnestly urged us the presi
dential candidate in not duoto any feeling
that the blight has fallen on both the other
parties nnd londorod possible n prohibition
election , but to the fact that nt least one of
the persons whoso names will go baforo the
convention wants iho nomination nnd thnt
ins friends are cnrnostly working to have It
given to him. Heretofore it tins bcon bnrd
for the prohibitionists to induce an acceptance
tanceof the nomination.
Mr. W. J. Demorcst of Now York , who
with hi * wlfa is the publisher of Domorost's
Magazine , n fashionable pinto paper , wants
to bo the nominee , und quite a llttlo boom
has buen worked up for him. Ho is wealthy
mil would probably liberally support un
ictlvo campaign ,
Mr. Domorost , however. It not the cboico
of a majority of the delegates now on tbo
ground , most of whom favor General Hid-
well of California. General Bldwell is
likely to secure thu nomination un tbo llrst
ballot. Ho has boon in congress and Is bald
to bo n man of high character nnd anility nnd
nblo to fulllll the duties of the ofllcu of presi
dent If ho should olinuca to gut It. His
friends say that bo does not wish to bo tbo

Gordon T. Stewart of Ohio will also bo put
In nomination , The httlo uncertainty which
exists over , the nomination M pleasing to the

Tbo amalgamation of the prohibition and
people'3 parties , which bus been heralded us
llkoly to bo the blgircst thing of tlio conven

campaign is concerned , and can bo nrnctlc-

The national committee meets tomorrow

WASUINOTOV , D. C. , Juno 27. It was 11:33 :
o'clock this morning when the mooting of the
republican national committee wn ? allied to
order by the temporary chairman , General J.
S. Clnrkson. After the roll had bson called ,
showing the presence either in person or by
proxy of nil the members except those from
Wyoming nnd Novndn , J. Sloat Fassott took
the Iloor nnd placed In nomination for pcr-
nmnent chairman of the com mil to General J ,
S. Clarkson ot Iowa. Mr. Fassott said :
"I shall endeavor to detain you but n few
minutes. I hope tbnt what I say today
will bear moro fruit than what I
had to say the Intittime I hnd
the honor ot appearing in this room
before this committee on bohnlt of Now
Yorlt City asking for the national conven
tion. Much ns I was lrtt3ted In njy sub
ject nt the time , I nm much moro deeply in
terested in my subject todny. When the
doors closed on the Minneapolis convention ,
I nm glad to bolinvo that It closed on u united
party. It would bo folly to sny that a grant
many of the friends of Mr. Bla'mo were not
disappointed , but lilio their leader they
were loyal , true republicans , and immedi
ately upon tbo nomination in tbo convention
they becnmo ardent supporters of the ad
ministration. Wo all fool thnt wo are enter
ing on no holiday excursion ; that wo are
entering upon a contest which will put to
the test tbo mettle of every republican. Wo
are confronted nt the oulstarl with tha ap
palling spectacle of Wisconsin and Illinois in
the list , of doubtful states nnd Iowa by no
moans certain , with religious differences rife
In the northwest and n threatened coalition
of tlio democracy with the alliance.
Strength ol the Kneniy.
"Tho democrats have nominated , to my
mind , the strongest man they could have
placed In the Hold , and especially so far as
the thirty-six electoral votes in Now York
nro concerned. It is now important tbnt wo
should proceed to select a chairman accord
ing to our host judgment , Wo must win the
support of all republicans. No distinctions
should be made ou account of east inullTcr-
oncei. But you will ngrne with mo so far as
this condition of affairs is concernod. Wo
nro selected republican voters in the United
States. Wo nro in a dosper.tto light , but wo
are in It to win. And for that purpose wo
must have tlio support of our best leaders.
Wo vvr.nt thorn to the front.
"At our bond wo want no Inexperienced
man.Vo want a man in sympathy with tbo
lines laid down by tbo national republican
convention and in touch of all the people of
this party. Wo want a trained loader , n
man to whom wo can look with every confi
dence of success , and ho whom I shall men
tion has since 187(5 ( boon engaged in every
contest that has been waged by the repub
lican party , llo has always been n faithful ,
sagacious , devoted and olllcicr.t member of
the national committee. I well recollect the
hot months of ISbS , and the nights wore not
long enough nor days long enough for thnt
gentleman to do that which ho desired for
the republican national committee. All
through that tummer , with a devotion that
was remarkable , ho toiled while others were
slcoplntr. To him , in conjunction with Sena
tor Quay , Is due in a higher measure than to
any other tbo success attained in that glori
ous cumpalgr. I refer to the honored tem
porary chairman of this convention , General
J. S. Clarltson of Iowa. [ Applause. ] With
him the interest of the republican party has
always boon a llrst and commanding con
sideration.
The Voiing Men with Them.
"Contrary to the wishes of his family nnd
contrary to the advice of his friends , I have
known him to undortalto tbo most laborious
nnd fatiguing contests lu the Interests of his
party. And not only have his time and ef
forts been devoted to it nt nil times , but Uis
resources have been used as freely ns his
Hlo blood. Through the four years that bnvo
elapsed since the campaign moro than 00 pur
center the energy and strength of General
Clarkson bus boon given to unselfish services
to the republican party , nnd today there Is
In oxlstonro , what never has happened
before , n thorough republican organization
reaching all ever tbo country. At the call of
Iho young men of the party hohas _ not only
performed the duties of his ofllco as our
chairman , but has accepted tbo chairman
ship of tbo National Republican league , that
mngnillcent organisation which extends
throughout the United States nnd is becom
ing a tower of strength. In this organiza
tion he is the counsellor of our young men.
Ho Is their ideal ; there is no man so near
the young republicans of the United States
todny us J. S. Clnrkson. Wo bavo the young
men of our country with us In this cam
paign und I think no uthcr name would
inspiie them with so much enthusiasm as
thnt ot Mr. Clurkson. I believe tbut wittrfn
his grnsp is the f copter of success. It seems
to mo that this committee cnn pay no moro
proper tribute to him and their esteem und
appreciation for tr-o glorious work ho has
performed in the past than to nsk him again
to assume the leadership nnd.show us the
way to a repetition of tbo victory ot 1SSS.
f Anpluuso.j Ho gava his In valuable counsel
and superb assistance. In tliocuusouf General
Harrison in 1SS8 , and wo ought now to con
tinue him whcro our affection IIUH already
placed him , in n position to uguin crown
General Harrison with viclory. "
Mr , Fnssotl's remarks were several times
interrupted by applause , aud as bu took his
scat General Clurkson nroso and said ;
AcccpU the I'lenldent'ii .liidciiicnt.
'Gentlemen of thn Committee : I wish to
say to you what I should before nny further
stops uro taken in iho direction of my elec

I apprccla'o deeply tbo friendship enter
tained for mo by moil of tbo vrontlemen In

hud the personal tcndor of forty-aim members
of the committee ot tholr support for mo as

pressed their intention to vote for mo whether
I should bo a candidate or not , or whether my
election was desired bv the candidates of the
party or not , which I appreciate as the
proudest honors of my life , nnd their ox-
liresslon of confidence nnd good will , it Is
still my duty to say to von that I have
learned from tbo president this morning that
ho desires nemo ono else for chairman. As n

about 11 years old , was working In a potato

The coroner was notified and n Jury' was
summoned. They drove out to the grove and
viewed the body , which was Idontllled as
that of August FricUo , a carpet weaver ,

[ By Mexican Cable to the Now York Herald
Special to Tut : Bcu.J The resignation and
departure of ox-Proslttont P.ilnclo of Vene
zuela has not brought peace to that war
worn republic if tbo statements which nro
current in well-In formed Venezuelan circles
hero nro correct. I glvo the situation as it , is
reported hero , without vouching for Its accu
racy , though It comes from reliable circles.
U is said that Vlco Prosldont Vlllogns
and General Manages bavo taken charge ot
affairs with the Intention of reorganizing
the government on lines which they have
already laid out. A proposition was mntlo to
General Crospo to join In tholr plan of ro-
orpnnlzntlon , but ho promptly tofusod , and
announce ; that bo will consent to no other
plan ot reorganization than that laid down
In the constitution.
I'rospects of n Itnttle.
His argument is that while they out
off the head of thn drazon when thev sent
Palaclo into cxllo they left tbo claws and
body of the bonst In Vlllcgas and Monnpos ,
Crospo with his nrmy is said to .bo marching
rapidly on Caracas , and n desperate und
decisive battle is said to bo imminent , cer
tainly within u few days.
Much comment Is heard In Venezuelan
circles on the fact that Villogas has sent a
war ship to Curacoa to take Dr. Hojas Paul
w'th ' honor. It is generally believed that it
U nn effort to enlist the oflort of Uojas tn
behalf of the powers that bo. It Is dllllcult
to say what Uojas will do In the premises.
Up to this time ho has been acting with
Crospo and It is generally thought that this
is a plan on tha part of Vllloqas to weaken
Crespo by withdrawing from his support
the numerous rojistu who have boon acting
with him.
If Hojas has accepted , as It is believed ho
has , It may bo for the purpose of getting
square with Crospo who some years ago
drove him into exile. Altopothor tbo situa
tion appears to bo moro mixed than it has for
some days at Isast , and Just what the next
move will bo in the light for the control ot
Venezuela is impossible to predict , although
it seems proooble that there will bo further
lighting within the next few days.
