On the recommendation of this committee the treasurer was ordered to pay delegate mile- age on the last day of the session at 4 cents a mile each way. In view of the balance of $49.39 reported as being in the Treasury, some fears have been expressed by outsiders that there would be no money on hand to pay mileage. ‘This morning it was announced that $5,000 had been received by the freasurer gince November 1, and of the amount $355 w: ers, showing over twenty new assemblies within abont two weeks, Representatives of the glassmei announced that in’ case of nee $100,005 from which ecutive board asneeded.

There will be a meeting this evening of the members of the executive committee, so far appointed, at the residence of Mr. Britton. e chairman wants to talk over matters with about the sub- his colleagues, and to committees and the various chairmen. MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE. The executive committee, as at present con- stituted, consists of the following members: A. T. Britton, chairman; M. M. Parker, first vice- chairman; B. H. Warner, treasurer. ' Chairmen of Committees—Reception, Gen. E. F. Beale; finance, Geo. E. Lemon; es, Thos. Somerville; ci Parker; parks and reservatio lard; public comfort, Col. L. P. music, A. H. 8. Davis; comfort at ball Jas. E. Bell. Members of the Executive Com- mittee—Crosby 8. Noyes, A. M. Clay Glover, Jno. W. Thompson and Wm. Mr. Britton said the committee was not yet | completed. He thought that in order to be | representative of the community, and same time a practical working committee, there should be about thirty members. Some men, whose counsel was needed, did not have the time or the inclination to attend to the details connected with the committee work, and therefore they had simply been made members of the committee. ‘There were, he said, other committees to be appointed, and he mentioned number, such as a committee on military or- ganizations, on public order, floor and prom- enade committees, and various committees on decorations, badges, illuminations, &c. ‘There was also the banquet and ball-room committee and one for the promenade .and the concert, committees on tickets and printing, and an auditing committee. The chairmen of the various committees will | appoint the members of their committees, their selections being subject, however, to the approvel of the executive committee, In a week or 80 the entire organization will be about completed, and then the preparations will go on in a way that will insure success, DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS, To-day Mr. Wm.’ M. Galt vas appointed a member of the executive committee, Galt was chairman of the executive committee of the last organization, and his ener business ability was of great service in ecution of the plans which were carried out with so much success. He and Mr. Glover are the only democratic members of the commit- pointed, but it is expected that others will be appointed, so that it may be said not to be a republican inauguration, but a citizens’ inauguration. Owing to an error made in the transmission a | of a telephone message to Tu Star office yes- terday afternoon the name of A. 8, Pratt was eae asa member of the executive commit- e. It should have been A.M. Clapp. The imilarity in the sound of the names was the cause of the mistake.

There is s great deal of speculation about the organization of the new administration, but there is hardly a thing in connection with it that is really settled yet. Until Mr. Harrison comes east and has consulted with some of the party leaders nothing definite can be known. | Mr. Quay himself is understood to be entirely inthe dark as to Mr. Harrison's purposes at Present. The odds and ends of the campaign strings have not yet been gathered together. Mr. Harrison is under greater or less obliga- tion to great many prominent party men. He cannot know as yet what recognition they may want at his hands. Nor can they tell whether or not they are liable to have their ambitions gratified. There is certainly much more cabinet material than can be used, and more leading men at every post in the party Mr. Harrison will want none but strong men in his Cabinet, and he may find some who will be reluctant to give td senatorial positions for There is very apt to be a scramble over the Secretaryship of the Treasury among New Yorkers, and they may all be disappointed by having that position go to the west. There is ® very general impressiog that Mr. Harrison apt to select ator Allison for the place, but it is doubted whether he would give up his place in the Senate for such an uncer- tain berth.
