The Republican national chairmanship has been the subject of a good deal of anxious consideration in the last few days, and it is believed that a decision will be reached before long. It is a little unusual to settle such ,1 thing so long in advance of the1 convention, but the President wishes to have everything arranged as early as possible. It became known today that the President had broached the subejet to Senator Aldrich with a view to getting him to act as chairman, but that Senator Aldrich declined, saying tiiat the Democrats have the governorship in ills own state, and he will have to fight to keep them from getting the legislature that will elect his successor.

Senator Piatt of New Tork made some suggestions to the President on the subject today, and it is said that lie mentioned the name of Timothy Woodruff. Some well known New Y'ork Republicans 'hink AVoodruff would make a good m-in for the place. Senator Podge has discussed the matter with the President, and is said to have advised the selection of some one other than himself.
