WASIIINOTOX , D. C. , Juno 27.--Spocial [
Telegram to TUB Bii-Tho ] national repub
lican coniMlttco today organized for the
presidential campaign of 1SU ! by electing
Hon. W. J. Campbell of Chicago its chair-
mnn ; M. H. Do Young , editor of the San
Frnnoisio : Chronicle , vlco chairman ; Corne
lius N. Bliss , the Now York banker , trcas.
urer , nnd Land Commissioner Tom Carter of
Montana , who did such good service for
President garrison at Minneapolis , secre
tary.
tary.Next to the election of Its ofllccra , which
was In all cases unanimous , the most Im
portant feature of the session was the propo
sition of Delegate Scott of West Virginia
looking to the reformation of iho present
method of apportioning delegates to the na
tional convention. Mr. Scott proposes that
hereafter delegates shall bo apportioned to a
state not according to the olectotal votes to
which It Is entitled , but in proportion lo the
republican votes It casts.
Will Ito Considered Later.
This proposition is cminontly Just and rea
sonable. Though his motion was today laid
over till some future nicotine , the sontlmont
of the members individually expressed
showed that there Is likely to bo action taken
on it before the next convention meets" . Mr.
Scotl's'proposltlon ot assiznlng n delegate
for every 7,000 republican votes cast for
the republican candldato at the last preced
ing election is merely tentative and the ratio
will doubtless bo considerably decreased. It
\vas a subject of much comment at Minna
Bpolls two week ago , that states which were
Hopelessly democratic should play so import
ant n part In the selection of tbo republican
candldato for the presidency.
Mr. Campbell , the novvly elected chairman
of the committee , Is n very prominent Itiwycr
of Chicago , who has ulwr.ys taken an nctivo
Interest In politics. Ho was the president of
the Illinois sonata at the tlmo of the light
which resulted In the election of General
Logan to the United States senate. Ho has
been n membef of the national committee for
two or three terms , und was re-elected by
nls state delegation nt Minneapolis uuanl-
mouslv.
I.oja 1 to the President.
Ho is n worm friend of Iho president , not
withstanding the fact that when ho was nn
applicant for the position of collector of
the portal Chicago Iho president turned him
down nnd appointed another nun. Mr.
Campbell Is n man nccustomed lo handling
largo affairs. Ho Is resolute , dotormtncd ,
illent and n man of excellent Judgment , Per
sonally Mr. Campbell Is a man of line pres
ence , courteous In innnnor , affable lu conver
sation , but entirely diplomatic. Ho is abnut
< 5 or 4S j oars of ago.
Mr. Campbell's selection was first suc-
Kcstod by Secretary Husk nnd Mr. L. T.
MicbonoK both of whom have n great ad
miration for Iho qualities possessed by the
now chairman , nnd urged bis peculiar Illness
for the posilion. The statement Is being
mndo bore tonight that ono point which
counted Inriroly in Mr. Campbell's favor In
Iho minds of the commitloomen was that
commc from Illinois ho would largely offset
whatever popularity the addition of Mr.
Btovenson'i * name might give to the doino-
eratln ticket in that state
Mr. L. T. MIchonor said tnls evening :
"Mr. Campbell is ono of the shrewdest poli
ticians in the country. In my.opinlon it was
by far the host selection that could have
bocn made. "
Mont mm Complimented.
It was n handsome compliment which the
committee paid Montana in selecting Hon.
Thomas H. Carter us Its socrelary. Mr.
Carter had arrived -Vnshincto.i but n few
minutes before his selection , which was the
llrst news bo received when ho reached the
liotol whcro tno cotmnlltra was in session.
Mr. Carter's train was several hours delayed
In Us arrival from the west , it being in n
terrific collision In Pennsylvania , but ho
escaped unhurt. Mr. Carter tuoroforo
had notlilnir to do with bis pro-
" . ferment. When ho arrived ut ccommlttoe
11 headquarters ho wus called for and
escorted to bis seat on the plalform nmU
cheers. Mr. Carter is popular everywhere ,
but bis popularity was never moro apparent
than before the national commiUoo tod'ny.
At first ho was ur.\\llllng to accept the
place , but It wus Insisted that ho must do so
nnd ho llnullv consented. It is understood
that ho will resign his federal position very
BOOH and devote nil his tlmo and energies to
the campaign till after Iho election. It is
conceded that Curtor'a selection wus the
very best that could huvo boon mado.
Thoio was perfect harmony nt tbo moot-
Ing. All of the olllcers selected nro emi
nently capable and onlbuslajlio frlonds of
Iho president and all prndict an overwhelm
ing success at Iho polls in November.

CINCINNATI , O. , Juno 27. The nomination
for candidate for president of the national
prohibition party will not go by default this
year , but to all appearances it will bo nocos-
cnry that there shall bo a roll call before tbo
nomination Is mado. The unusual scene in a
natlonnl prohibition convention of moro than
ono name being earnestly urged us iho prc > i-
dontlal candldato Is not duo to any fcoltng
that Iho blight has fallen on both the other
parlies and tendered poulblo a prohibition
election , but to the fact that at least one of
the persons whoso names will go before the
. ronventlor. wants iho nomination and that
his friends are earnestly working to have it
Given to him. Heretofore it has bean hard
for Iho prohibitionists to induce an accep
tance of the nomination.
Mr. W. J. Demorest of Now York , who
with hU wlfo is the publisher of Domorost's
Mngnzlno , a fashionable plalo paper , wonts
lo bo tbo nominee , und quite a llttlo boom
bos bocn worked up for him. Ho Is wealthy
ind would probably liberally support un
icllvo campaign ,
Mr , Dcmorost , however. Is not tbo choice
Of u majority of the delegates now on the
ground , most of wham favor General Bid-
well ot California , General llluweH Is
likely to Eccnro the nomination on tlio llrst
ballot. Ho has boon in congress and is bald
to bo n man of high character nnd ability and
nblo to fulllll the duties of lha ofllcu of presi
dent If ho should eli unco to gut it. His
friends say that ho does uol wish to bo iho
nominee , but will accent.
Gordon T. Stewart of Ohio ulll also ba put
In nomination. The hula uncertainty which
exists ovur the nomination is pleasing to tUo
prohibitionist * , because U keeps up an In tor-
fit.
> Wilt I'luy U Vlmio.
The amalgamation of the prohibition and
ople's parties , which bus been heralded as
likely to ho iho blgiosl thing of the conven
tion , is not nt nil probable , so far us this
campaign Is concerned , and can bo nrnctlc-
illy diKinUhcd for the present. Chairman

objections arising out of the itifttculty of
I. inline conuuo'i ttnndlng ( 'roundvhen nb-

Sil\rr Wilt llo Troublesome Here , Too.
The platform will bo much llko previous
prohibition platforms , with some radical ad
ditions dealing with the labor problem , hav
ing for their avowed object more perfect
government control over corporations. The
silver plank Is troublesome to the prohibi
tionists Just ns It Is to thn older parties , And
Iho dolcgalos nro divided Into free coinage
and nnti-frco coinage men.
The national committee moots tomorrow
morning , and It is probable that ono of the
following three will bo solcctcd cbnlriiiau :
Captain Closhorn of Wisconsin , A. A. Ste
vens of Tyrone , Pa. , and H. S. Thompson of
Ohio. Mr. Stevens has nUo boon mentioned
for permanent chairman.

WASHISOTOV , D. C. , Juno 27. It was 11:33 :
o'clock this morning when Iho mooting of the
republican national committee was cilled to
order by tbo temporary chairman , General J.
S. Ularkson. After the roll had baun called ,
showing the presence either in person or by
proxy of nil the mem Dors except those from
Wyoming nnd Nevada , J. Sloat Fassotl took
the floor nnd placed In nomination for per
manent chairman of the commltto General J.
S. Clarkson of Iowa. Mr. Fmsottsald :
"I shall endeavor to detain you but n few
minutes. I hope that what I say today
will bear moro fruit than what I
had to say the last-tlmo I had
the honor of appearing in this room
before this commllleo on bohalt of Now

doors closed on the Minneapolis convention ,
I am gludto bollovo lhat it closed on a united
party. It would bo folly to say lhat a great
many of the friends of Mr. Bla'mo wcro not
disappointed , but Ilka their leader they
were loyal , true republicans , and immedl-
atcly upon Iho nomination In the convention
inoy became ardent supporters of the ad
ministration. Wo all fool that wo are enter
ing on no holiday excursion ; that wo are
entering upon a contest which will put to
the lost the mettle of every lonublican. Wo
nro confronted at the outstart with the ap
palling spectacle of Wisconsin and Illinois In

moans certain , with religious differences rife
In thu nortlmcbt and n threatened coalition

.Strength ol tlio I.nemy.
"Tho democrals have nominated , to my
mind , tbo stronccst man Ihov could have
placed in Iho Hold , and especially so far ns
Iho thirty-six electoral votes In New York
nio concerned. It is now important that wo
should proceed to select a chairman accord
ing to our best Judgment. Wo must win the
support of all republicans. No distinctions
should bo made on account of east indilTcr-
once ? . But you will agrro with mo so fur as
this condition of affairs Is concerno.l. Wo
are selected republican voters In the United
States. Wo are In a dospcr.ito light , but wo
are in it to win. And for that purpose wo
must have the support of our bast leaders ,
\V'o want ihom to the front.
"At our bond wo want no Inexperienced
man. tVo want a man In [ sympathy with tbo
MUCH laid down by the 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 conll-
doncc of success , and ho whom I shall mention -
tion has since 1870 bcon engaged in every
contest that has boon waged by the repub
lican parti' . Ho has always been a faithful ,
sagacious , devoted nnd ofllcier.t member of

hot months of ISbS , and iho nighls were not
long enough nor days long enough for that
gentleman to do that which ho desired for
Ihc republican national committee. All
through that summer , with n devotion that

"Contrary to the wishes ot bis family and

Special to Tin : Bnu.j The resignation and
departure of o.vProsittiint P.ilnclo of Votio-
uolo has not brought peace to that war-
vorn republic If the statements which nro
current In wall-informed Venezuelan circles
icre nro correct , 1 glvo the situation as It , is
reported here , without vouching for Its accu
racy , though it comas from reliable circles.
I Is said lhat Vlco President Vlllogns
nnd General Monngos have taken charge of
affairs with the Intention of reorganizing
ho government on lines which they have
already laid out , A proposition was mndo to
General Croapo to Join In tholr plan of re
organization , but ho promptly lofusod , and
announce ) that ho will consent to no other
ilan ot reorganization than lhat laid down
n the constitution.
1'rospectH of n Itnttlc.
His argument Is that whllo they out
> ft the head of the dragon when they sent
. 'alaclo Into exllo they loft the claws nnd
) ody of the beast In Vlllcgas and Manages.
Crospo with his army is said tobo marching
rapidly on Caracas , and u desperate and
decisive battle Is said to bo imminent , cer
tainly within a few days.
Much comment Is hoard In Venezuelan
circles on the fact that Villogas has sent a
warship to Curacoa to take Dr. Hojas Paul
v'th honor. It is generally believed that It
4 an olTort to enlist the 6Tort ( of Hojas in
inhalf of thu powers that bo. It is dllllcult
o say what Hojasilldoln the promises.
Jp to this tlmo ho has peon ncling with
Jrospo and it is generally thought that this
3 a plan on the part of Villccas to weaken
3rcspo by withdrawing from his support
the numerous rojistu who have boon acting
with him.
If Kojas his accepted , as It is believed ho
las , It may bo for the purpose of getting
square with Crospo who some years ago
drove him Into exile. Altopotbor Iho sltuu-
.lon appears to bo moro mixed than It has for
some days at Ifast , and Just what the next
move will bo In the fight for the control of
Venezuela Is impossible to piodlct , although
t seems provable lhat there will bo further
llghling wilbiu Iho next few days.
