His Speech a Year Ago Being Compared With His Work Now. ‘The behavior of certain republicans hereto- fore believed to be friends of tho administra- tion, but now otherwise engaged at Minneapo- lis, is being talked over by a few of the politicians who remain in Washington. It is. generally understood that the most prominent of those who have been beneficiaries since President Harrison came into power, but who are now discontented, is Mr. John M. Langston. Mr. Langston, who is a repre- sentative colored man, is doing his utmost to bring about the defeat of President Harrison. Prominent officials sy that Prof. Langston has had given him for distribution » very respectable of the loaves and fishes, and they cannot, therefore, understand why he should endeavor to destroy politically those who hare tried to, befriend him.

Clarkeon will continue to represent Towa on the republican national committee, | whether he remains chairman of that great | body or not. This was definitely settled yee- terday. The man who is official leader of the for Harrison in 1888, though now renked with the chief of the President's avowed opposers, came out of the meeting of the Iowa delegation | with flying colors. | The delegates from Iowa, when they got to- | gether, counted noses closely, and the result confirmed the statements that the Harrison men were in control by a proportion of four to one st Blaine. Clarkson's personal with the delegation, however, was soon ually demonstrated as that the ‘President | had by far the greatest following in a contest with Blaine. Mr. Clarkeon came into the meet- ing in person, and instantly the rumors of hostile reception to him were shown to be with- | out foundation. The heartiness of the cheering and hand- | shakes that greeted him on all sides left no | doubt that Clarkson could have almost anything | he wanted from Iowa (except votes for Blaine), and that, whether Clarkson ted it or not, the delegation were determined’ to honor him all in their power. The meeting, which was held with closed | doors, first proceeded to elect the chairman of the Iowa delegation,and E. E. Mack, « straight- | out Harrison man, chosen without opposi- | tion.
