h ? | - voming canpaign o — TWENTY—SECOND YEAR, OMAH , TUESDAY MORNING, JU NE 28, SELECTED A CHICAGO MAY Hon, W, J. Oampbell Made Chairman of the Republican Committee. CRGANIZED WITHOUT ANY DISCORD Leaders of the Party Agree Upon All Ofi- cers of the Body Suggested tlon Representation, Wasmisaros, D, €, June 27.--[Special Tologram to T Ber, ) —Thoe national repub- lican committee today organized for the presidential campaign of 15892 by electing Hon, W.J. Campbell of Chicago 1ts chair- man; M. H. De Young, editor of the San Francisco Chrouicle, vice chairman; Corne- lius N. Bliss, the Now York banker, treas- urer, and Land Commissioner Tom Carter of Montana, who did such good service for President Harrison at Minneapolis, secro- tary, < Next to the election of its officers, which was in all cases uuanimous, the most im- portant feature of the session was tho propo- sition of Delegate Scott of West Virginia looking to the roeformation of the present mothod of apportioning delegates to the na- tional convention. Mr. Scott proposes that hercafter delegates shall be apportionea to & state not according to tho eclectoral votes to which it is entitled, but i proportion to the republican votes it casts. Will BBe Considered Later. Th1s proposition is eminently just and rea- sonable. ‘Though his motion was today laid over till some future meeting, the soentiment of the members individually expressed showed that there is likely to be action taken on it before the next convention meets. Mr. Scotv's’proposition of assizning o delogato for every 7,000 ropublican votes cast for thie republican candidate at the last preced- ing election is merely tentative und the ratio will doubtless bo considerably decreased. It was a subject of much comment at Minne- apolis two woek ugo, that states which were nopelessly democratic should play so import- ant a part in the selection of the republican candidate for the presidency. Mr. Campbell, tho newly clected chairman of tho committee, is & very promunent lawyer of Chicago, who has ulways taken an active interest in politics, He was the president of the Illinois senate at the time of the fight which resulted in tho election of General Logan to the United States senate. e has beon a member of the national committee for two or three torms, and was re-clected by his state delegation at Minneapolls uuani- mously. Ho is a warm friend of the nresident, not- withstanding the fact that when ho was an appilcant for the position of coilector of tho portat Chicago the president turned him down and appomnted another man. Mr. Campbell is a man accustomed to handling largo affuirs, Ho is resolute, dotermined, silent avd a man of excellent judgment. Per- sonally Mr. Campbell is a man of fino pros- ence, courteous in mauner, affable in conver- sation, but entirely diplomatic. He is about 45 or 45 yoars of ngo. Mr. Campbell’s sclection was fiest sug- gestod by Secretary Itusk and Mr. L. L. Michener, both of whom have o groat ad- miration for the qualities possessed by the new chuirman, aud urged bis peculiar fitness for the position. The statement is being mado here tonight that oue point which counted largely in Mr. Campbell’s favor in the minds of tho committcemen was that coming from filinois he would lavgely offset whatever popularity the addition of Mr. Btevenson’s name might give to the demo- cratie ticket 1n that state Me. L. T. Michener said this evening: “Mr. Campbell is ouo of the shrewdest poli- ticlans in the country. In my opinion it was by far the bost selection that could have been made.” Montans Complimented. It was a handsome compliment which the committeo paia Montana in selecting Hon, Thomas H. Carter us its socretary, Mr. Carter had arrivea in Vashingtoa but a few minutes before his selection, which was the fivst nows ne recoived when hoe reached the hotel whero the commitice was 1 session. Mr. Carter's train was several bours deluyed in its arrival from tho west, it being in u terrific collision in Pennsylvania, but he escaped unhurt, Mr. Carter tnereforo had nothing to do with bis pre- ferment. When he arrived at ccommitice hendquarters he was called for and escorted to his scat on tho platform amid cheers. Mr. Carteris popular everywhere, but his popularity was never more aporent than boforo the national committes today At first ho was unwilling to accept the place, but it wus insistea that he must, do so and bo finaily consented. 1t is understood that he will resign his federal position very soon and dovote all his time and energies {0 the campaigzn till aftertho election. Itis conceded that Carter's solection was tho very best that could have been made. There was perfect harmony at the mect- fng. Allof the officers solacted aro emi- nently capablo aud enthusiastic friends of the prosident and all predict an overwhelm- lug success at the polls in November, PROHIBITIONISTS al to the President, NOW AT 1T, Fashion-Pl n © Demorest 1s W Bl Spigot in His Bar C , 0., Juuo 27.—The nowination for candidate for president of the national prohibition party will not go by default this year, but to all appearances it will be neces- sary that there shall be a roli call before toe nomination is made. Tho unusual sceno in a national prohibition convention of moro than one name being earnestly urged us tho prest dential canaidate is not due to any feeling that tho blight has fallen on both the other partics and tendered possible & prohibition selection, but to the fact that at least one of the persons whoso names will go before the “. conventior: wauts the nomination aud that bis friends are earnestly working to have it given to bim, Heretefore it has been hard for the prohibitionists to wduce an accep- tance of the nomination.

His friends say that bo aoes tot wish to be vhe pomince, but will accept. Gordon T, Stewart of Ohio will also be put In nomination.

It was 11:3) o'clock this morning whon the meeting of the ropublican national committee was calied to order by the tomporary chairman, Goneral J. Clarkson. After the roll had baen called, showing the presence cither in person or by proxy of all the memoors excopt those from Wyoming and Nevada, J.

A proposition was made to General Crespo to join in thoir plan of re- organization, but he promptly refused, and announces that he will consent to no other plan ot reorganization than that laid aown in tho constitution. Prospects of a Battle, His srgument is that while they ont off tho head of tha dragon when they sent Palacio into exilo they left tho claws and 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 battle 1s said to be imminent, cer- tainly 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. It is generally belioved that it is an effort to onlist tho effort of Rojas in behalf of the powers that be. Itis difiicult to say what Rojus will do in tho premises. Up totuis time he has oveen acting with Crespo and it is generally thought that this is a plan on ths t of Villegas to weaken Crespo by withdrawing from his support the numerous rojista who have been actiu with him. 1t Rojas has accepted, as it is believed ho has, it may be for the purpose of getting square with Crespo Who some vears ago drove him into exile. Altogether the sitva- tion uppears to be more mixed than it has for some days at lanst, and just what the next move will bein the fight for the control of Venezuola is impossible to predict, although it seems provable that there will bo further fightiug within tho next few days, EhassaugS et CAN'T CORRAL & QU Business of House Stagnates Still, Whils Absentees Continue to Be Consplenous, Wasmixaros, D.
