where he has been clearIng up hIs work In connection with his scat in congress and looking alter a number of matters in the interest of lls local constituency which he was unable to attend to on account of his I race for the senatorsl1ip I found a great deal of interest being be-ing manifested In politics in Yashin ton said Judge King last evening Politldans from allover the country are there and there is much speculatIon specula-tIon as to the national tlclwts for the campaign of 1900 and the issues that will then be to the fore There is no question but that William Wil-liam Jennings Bryan will be nominated by the Democrats There will be an effort ef-fort on the part of the Democrats of the New England states and by John Sterling Morton of Nebraska Mr Cleclands secretary of agriculture to capture the convention for Richard OIl 1er Cleelands secretary of state but l In mr opinion this wHl roe zbortie The Democrats in i Pennsylvania Delaware Dela-ware and Maryland and In the southern and middle western states will declare for bimetallism and the Chicago plat funn and they will send to the comen tiO ilwhich will probably be held either t in CI1clnnatl or St Louisdelegates who will reaffirm the Democratic platform plat-form of 1896 I talked while in Washington with Democrats from Delaware New Jersey md New York and they were all for Bryan Even In Massachusetts I learned learn-ed that there is much sentiment foIl foI-l bimetallism and it is probable that they will send delegates pledged to Bryan for the presidency and George Fred Williams for vice president Opinion Opin-Ion throughout the east seems to be increasing In-creasing in strength that Admiral Sdle of Maryland should be given the second place on the tieet Some fsw favor Williams but l1e is too adical Elliott Danfor of New York will have rome support but he has not the na lona renown necessary SCHLEY THE MAN There ar many reasons vhy Schle hould be placed upon the ticket In the first place no naval hero bas ever been given recognition politically since the foundlngof this government while J1C mitr leaders have often reape their reward at the hand of the eple by high poltic offIces Then the administration ad-ministration in its unwarranted efforts to bolster Up Sampson Vn account of Longs friendship for him has been unjust un-just to Schey and the sense of right and justice of the people has revolted against Its actions so that Schley has hecome personally very popular The fact that Schleys home is in Maryland I I will be in his favor I he were nom mated by the Democrats two states I which are now Republican would be swung back into the Democratic ranks Delaware and Maryland and New Jerly would very probably folow stilt su t stiltScliiey is a southerner too and as the south has been so loa to silver I ougt to receive recognition on the ticket tick-et He is an able man and a brain one and while he ha not ten any active part in politics he is known asa as-a staunch Democrat and a pronouncC I advocate of the Chicago platform l3ryan is the most available man for the head of the tIcket A review of the leair men of all the states shows that there Is no man who can bethought be-thought of but bim Bland 1s physically physical-ly broken down Governor Stone of Missouri is a southerner fd cre roust have a man from the north at the head Cater Harrison is the coming man in Illinois but he aspires to the governorship gov-ernorship only There is no national figure in Ohio Pennsylvania had no 3 leader save Sible Neither I there anyone any-one who wod be a suitable candidate in Indiana WIsconsin Michigan or New York Dee has been suggested as a pos sble head fa the ticket but there s much doubt about his Democracy Con gesan Grout of Vermont says that Admiral Dewey is a Reublca while other who arc in a position to know any lies a Democrat So on the whole It can be seen that Bryan is the meat likely to be the man McKinley and Roosevelt will pob ably be the Republican nominees Reed has ben much talked of hut frienis f the speaker say that he wi not cross WOMS with McKinley but will watt for 1904 Roosevelt has been sPole of for the presidency but he will not be in the race in my opinion McKInley js the choice of the trusts and the com hines and the moneyed men who can trl the Republican part and he will be te choice of the part ISSLES OF THE CAMPAIGN As to the Issues of the cndng am n 1Jtg I can say this The Democrats vih1 rea1rm the Chicago platform with wi out the slightest doubt One reason that the money queion will b placed to the for
