Dental aspirations. He thinks his high
record as governor of New Jersey entities
him to special consideration. Washington
has been full of Democratic candidates, who
have conducted their canvasses by social en-
tertainments. The list of modern Demo
| cratic leaders who aspire to a place on the
next presidential ticket is an em1nently
laristocratic one. Justice Field still aspires.
and 1t is said this is the reason why he
gave such a vigorous dissent last Mon
day, when the majority of the supreme
court held that there was no remedy
against state reputation save in good
faith and the honor of the state itself. His
dissenting opinion was much more elabor-
ate than the majority opinion. It will be
printed in an elegant pamphlet, with clear
faced type, upon cream tinted, paper for
general circulation. The Democrats think
| they are going to win next time. They do
not see how they can be beaten. The yex-
| atious tariff question is out of the way, and
the country may rest assured that a con-
sentative majority in the house among the
Democrats will be against bringing it up
| during the next congress. The Democrats
| are perfectly certain of New York. Ex-
Senator Coukling, who was here the other
day, said that he did not see how the two
factions of the Republican party in that
state could be brought together before the
| next national election. Keifer, be-
fore his departure, said that the tariff
| bill would lose the state of
Ohio to the Republicans by at least $780,
600 majority. He thought Indiana would
go too. He was very anxious to beat the
bill, and if he could have gotten enough
support from his own side to make de-
cent showing, the tariff bill would have
been beaten upon the Sd day of March.
Charles Emery Smith, editor of the Phila-
delphia Press, was here during the last
| week of congress, and he worked very
hard to beat the bill. Its passage in the
| shape that it finally became a law would
lose the state of Pennsylvania, he said.
The Democrats, who are now SO cheerful,
base much of their hopefulness on the dis
| sensions in the Republican party, it's lack
of leadership, and their own good fortune
in being out of power and irresponsible
| during the last two years.
