TWENTY— JCOND YEAR. OMATA, FUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 28, 1892, SELECTED A CHICAGD MAN Hon, W, J. Oampbell Made Chairman of the Republican Committee. CRGANIZED WITHOUT ANY DISCORD Leaders of the Party Agree Upon All Of. ocrs of the Body Unanimously— Plan ew for Conven- =3 Suggested tlon Representation, Wasmixaros, D. O, June 27.--[Special Tologram to Tue Bek. | —Tho national repub- liean committee today organized for tho presidential campaign of 1802 by electing Hon. W. J. Campbell of Chicago 1ts chair- man; M. H. Do Young, editor of tho San Francisco Chrouicle, vico chairmans Corne- lins N. Bliss, the Now York bankor, treas urer, and Land Commissioner Tom Cartor of Montana, who did such good service for Prosigeat Harrison at Minneapolis, secro- tary. o Next to the election of its officers, which was in all cases uuanimous, the most im- portant feature of the session was the propo- sition of Delegate Scott of West Virginia looking to the roformation of the present mothod of apportioning delegates to the na- tional convention. Mr. Scott proposes that hereafter delegates shall bo apportioned 1o & state not according to the elcctoral votes to which it is entitled, but i proportion to the republican votos it casts. ‘Will I3e Considered Later. Plis proposition is eminently just and rea- sonable, ‘Though his motion was today laid over till somo future meeting, the sontiment of the members individually expressed showed that there is likely to bé action taken on it before the next convention meots. Mr. Scot's’proposition of assizning o delegato for overy 7,000 republican votes cast for the republican candidate at the last preced- ing election is merely tentative and the ratio will doubtless be considerably decreased. It was a supject of much comment at Minne- apolis two weok ago, that states which wero nopelessly democratic should play so import- ant a part in the selection of the republican candidate for the presiden Mr. Campbell, the newly elected chairman of tho comumittec, is o very promiunent luwyer of Chicago, who has always taken an active interest in politics, He was the president of the Illinois senate at the time of the fight which resulted in the election of General Logan to the United States senate. fle has been a member of the national committee for two or three terms, and _was re-clected by his state delegation at Minneapulls unani- mously. Loyal to the President, Ho is a warm friend of the president, not- withstanding the fact that when ho was an appilcant for the position of coilector of the portat Chicago the president turned b down and appointed another man, M Campbell is a man accustomed to handling large affairs, Ho is resolute, dotermined, silent and a man of excellent judgment. Peor- ronally Mr. Campbell is a man of fino p ence, courteous in manner, affable in convor- wation, but entirely diplomatic. He is about 45 or 43 yoars of age. Mre. Campbell's selection was gestod by Secrctary Kusk and Mr. L. T, Michener, both of whom have & groat ad- miration for the qualities possessed by tho new chairman, aud urged bis peculiar fitness for the position. The statement is being mado here tonight thai one point which counted largely in Mr. Campbell’s favor in the minds of the committeemen was that coming from [ilinois he would lurgoly offset whatever popularity tho addition of Mr. Btevenson's name might give to the demo- cratic ticket 1n thot stato M. L. 'T. Michener said tnis cvenin “Mr. Campbell is ono of the shrewdest poli toians in tho country. In my opinion it was by far the bost seiection thatcould have been made.” Montana Complimented. It was a handsome compliment which the committeo paid Montaun in selecting Hon, Thomas F. Carter ns its sccretary. Mr. Carter had arrivea in_Vashingtoa but a few minutes before his selection, which was the first news he received when he reached the hotel whero the commitice was in session, Mr. Carter's train was several bours deluyed in its arrival from tho west, it being in n terrific collision in Peunsylvania, but he escaped unhurt, Mr. Carter inereforo had nothing to do with bis pre- fermont. When he arrived ut ccommitice hendquarters he was called for and escorted to his seat on tho platform amii cheers. Mr. Carter is popular everywhere, but his popularity was never more apoavent than before the nationul committes today. At first he was unwilling to aceept the place, but it was insistea that he must do so and ve finally consented. It is understood that he will resign his federal position very soon and devote all his time aud energies to the campaizn till after tho election. It is conceded that Carter's selection was the very best that could have been made. There was perfect harmony at the meet- fng. Allof tho oflicers solocted aro emi- nently capablo aud enthusiustic friends of the president and all predict an overwhelm- lug success at the polls in November. first sug- ONISTS NOW PROULE AT 1T, Fashion Inte Demorest s Willin® to Drive n Big Spigot in His Bar'l, Cixersyari, O, Juno 27, —The nomination for candidate for president of the national prohibition party will not go by default this yoar, but to all appearances it will be ueces- sary that there shall be a voli call beforo the nomination is made. Tho unusual scene in a national prohibition convention of more than oue nawme being earnestly urged us tho presi- dential couaidato is not due toany feeling that tho blight has fallen on both the other partics and 1endered possible a probibition selection, but to the fact that at least one of the persons whose names will go beforo the couventior wants the nomination aud that his friends are carnostly working to have it given to him. Heretefore it has been hard for the probiibitionists to induce an ecep- tance of the nomination. Mr. W. J. Demorest of New York, who with his wifo is the publisher of Demorest's Magazine, a fashiouable plate paper, wants 1o be the bominee, and quite & iittle boom bas been worked up for bim, Ho is wealthy and would probabiy liberally support an Active campaign, Mr. Demorost, however, is not the chorce of & majority 'of the delegates now on the ground, most of whom favor General Bid- well of Culifornin.

Silver Will Be Troublesome Here, Too. The piatform will be much like previous prohibition platforms, with some radical aa- ditions dealing with the labor problem, hav- ing for thoir avowed object more perfect government control over corporations. Tho silver plank is troublesomo to tho prohibi- tionists just as it is o the older parties, and the delegates are divided into free coinage and anti-free coinage men. The national committee meets tomorrow morning, and it is probable that one of the following three will be selected chairman : Captain Cleghorn of Wisconsin, A. A. Ste. vens of Tyrone, Pa., and R. S. Thompson of Ohio, Mr. Stevens has also beon mentioned for permanent chairman, Delegates are already beginning to arrive Miss Frances 1. Willard, Prof. Dickio of Michigan, Helen M. Gougar, John Lloyd Thomas of Now York and other well known advocates of prohibition are already hore. Prof. Dickie, who is_chairman of the na- tional committee, says it is not, as many peo- plo think, a religious, but _a political organi- zation. Voting tho ticket is the test of party fealty, and though o man swears like a trooper and drinks whisky ho can be a pro- hibitionist if he votes the ticket, “‘though,” adds the professor, “he wiil not bo high up in the party.” FAS!

It would be folly to sav that a great many of the friends of Mr. Blaine were not disappointed, but like their leader they were loyal, true repubiicans, and immedi- ately upon the nomination in the couvention they became ardent supporters of tho ad- ministration. We all feol that wo are enter- g on no holiday excursion; that wo are entering upon a contest which will put_to the test the mettlo of every republican.

No distinctions stould bo made on_account of past indiffer- onces. But you will agree with me so far as this condition of affairs is concerned. We are selected republican voters in the United States.

A proposition was made to General Crespo to join in thoir plan of re- organization, but he promptly refused, and aunnounces that ho will consent to no other plan ot reorganization than that laid down in tho constitution, Prospects of a Battle, His srgument is that while they ont Off tho head of tha dragon when they Palacio into exilo they left tho claw body of the beast in Villegas and Monagos, Crespo with his army 1s said to,be marching rapidly on Caracas, and a desperate and decisive battlo is said to be imminent, cer- tatnly within a few days. Much comment is heard in Venezuelan circles on the fact that Villogas has sent a war ship to Curacoa to take Dr. Rojas Paul with honor. [t is generally believed that it is an_effort to enlist tho effort of Rojas in behalf of the powers that be. Itis diificult to say what Rojas will doin tho premises. Up totwis time hehas oveen acting with Crespo and it is generally thought that this is @ plan on ths part of Villegas to weaken Crespo by withdrawing from his subport the numerous rojists who have been actiug with him, It Rojas has accepted, as it is believed he has, it may be for the purpose of getting square with Crespo who somo voars ago drove him into exile. Altogetuer the sity tion uppears to be more mixed than it has for s at laast, and just what tho next move will be in the fight for the control of Venezuola is impossibie to predict, although it seems provable that there will be further fightiug within the next few days.

Naguet, who was formerly the Boulangist deputy for Paris. It is said this evening in parliamentary circles that the government in referring to the matter will confine itself to genoralities, Public opinion is bocomiag settled and the general opinion is that the charges are oxug- gerated. £ven the most serupulous military u aro now inclined to beliove that Captain Borup had boon guilty vather of imprudent utterances than of quostionable acts, The captain’s recall by tho government at Washington has pro duced un excellent effect, as it is considored a cloar proof that the authorities in tue United Statos desira to remain on good terms with the French government.
