WASHINGTON. April l9.-Of all the bOoms
the mind of man ever conceived that for Gen.
J. W. Denver is the most unique. II is pic
turesque in its workings and weird in its con-
eeption. Gen. Denver, be it borne in mind,
wants 10 be the nominee Of the Democratic
party for President. His record as a Demo-
crat and as q useful citizen Is beyond re
proach. There is no doubt about his chances
either. for he has none. But the way in which
he or his friends are trying to bull Denver
stock is what ! want to tell you about He
evidently has a bureau somewhere. 1t is not
here. But the pamphlets show that IT has
existence. These documents are distributed by
couple Of weak-lOOking gentlemen. who give
the impression that they would be the better
OF physically should they sell their documents
for old paper and get a square meal with the
proceeds. They haunt the hotels. They wear
beaver hats. the brims of which look. as Dick
ems said, as if they were the fayOrite prone
made for a couple of snails. The overcoat
pockets of these able cOnsumptive-lO looking
boomers bulge out with their weighty con-
of each evening with the printed emanatlOns
of the Denver literary bureau exact location
unknown. BY II o'clock these pockets are
empty, and, the political work OF the day
over. the two mealy-lOOking gentlemen 90
home. They hand their pamphlets to
every one who will take them.
They are particularly eager to confer
bulky printed faYOrs showing why Denver
should be elected. and why only he can he
elected by the Democratic party upon the
newspaper correspondent. They say,
please readt this carefully and give US para
graph, no matter if It IS only five or six lines.
and If you do write anything viii you save
us copy Of the paper containing it," They
look so sad that you feel like writing
paragraph for them. This have done and thus
put on record the most remarkable canvass
for the Presidency that was probably ever
inaugurated.
THE HOUSE Is GETTING TIRED
of the beautiful Bedford of Colorado. BelfOrd
was amusing. He was as fully up to the quail
locations i'm that particular as was the famous
kangaroo possessed by the late Artemus
Ward. But. nevertheless, he Is wearisOme.
His manner is the most humorous part of him.
The way in which he churns out his phrases
by the use of his arms is very funny for
hundred times or 20, but when you have
laughed at him TO that extent he begins
to make you tired 1t is the same
way with what he says. His
fiery demands made in the glowing metaphor
Of the wild West for the unlocking of the
treasury vaults and the getting OF the $780,
uou.UUU surplus among iNe people was quite
entertaining. Its daily repetition became
very amusing simply on account of its reitera-
ton. Federation, however, pals as well as
peculiar gestures. The House evidently
thinks so. And it is showing its thoughts.
short time ago when BelfOrd's time had eX-
pired-he never finishes in the period allotted
him-there was unanimous consent for its eX-
tension. But times nave changed. BelfOrd
has nothing new to Offer and thus ceases to
be even entertaining in a small degree. When
ne asks for an extension OF time there Is
almost a unanimity of objection. Bedford
feels it badly. but Congressional work goes on
better. He must change his occupation in his
Congressional course OF he Will very soon be
altogether without one.
THE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
from Georgia are like other members, as far
as thinking about the nominations for the
next House are concerned. 1t is generally
thought among the delegation that there is no
doubt Of the return Of al the present members
except three. These are Judge Hardeman,
Mr.. Hammond and Mr.. Nichols. OF Mr..
Nichols, it is known that there viii
be opposition to him, but it is thought
He certainly, during his Congressional
career has been faithful to the interests Of his
constituents The interests OF his district
have been carefully looked after. He is pOpu-
lar among his fellow members, fact which
naturally goes far to aid him in his work.
As committee member he is painstak-
ing and diligent. Judge Hardeman uOes
not expect / understand. to come back. He
is now the representative of the state at
large. His residence Is in Mr.. BlOunt's dis
trict He viii not contest the latter's return.
This will leave a clear field for Mr.. Blount.
The fight being made against Mr.. Hammond
is reported to be a very strong one. Although
his ability is undOubted, and his work
on the Judiciary Committee of the
most brilliant character, they are not
sufficient to quel the ambition of
others in the Atlanta district. Mr.. Hammond
made a great mistake when he refused the
Craftsmanship Of the Elections Committee.
f,l,
a man Of large ability and thorough legal
knowledge to attain prominence and an in
fiuential position in the House. What Mr..
Hammond failed to take advantage of has
been greatly to Mr.. Turner's benefit. MI.
Turner by his management Of the contested
elections cases has achieved reputation
which but rarely comes to a man in his first
term-or even his second or third.
THEY NOW CALL IT THE "BLAINE SCARE"
The plumed knight must whoop it up lively
or he will not whoOp at all. For every dele
gate that he gets, there Is noise enough made
in his camp to convince the innocent and un-
suspecting that he has added at least twenty
more to his list. This Is Blaine all over. 1t is
his brilliant south American policy when
Secretary Of state, applied to hunt for
votes. 1t deceived some gentlemen-it really
did. And those were people who are OPP
posed to him. They have, however,
awakened to the fact that with Blaine it is
generally a superabundance Of tom-Uoms
with paucity of soldiers. So they have
caught their breath, and call it the "Blaine
scare" They think that to be a very good
phrase, and promise themselves that they viii
not be scared any more. The fact Is il is only
within the past few days that the almost
utter hOpelessness Of Blaine's securing the
nomination has percolated through many
political brains here. They heard the tom
toms, and thought the jig was up. But as the
percOlatlOn proceeds their vision clears, and
the conviction spreads that once more is
Blaine doomed to defeat. In fact, the re-
action from the "Blaine scare" has rebOunded
somewhat to the other side. IL said
by the lately scared that Blaine don't stand
chance Of even shaping materially the course
OF the Republican Convention Ia making its
choice OF leaders.
A PRIVATE LETTER
received mere from ex-Mnister Sargent at
Berlin indicates that that gentleman. who has
had such a stormy time as our representative
at the Prussian court, is going to have his O~yn
public howl when he gets back to this country.
From the letter 1t would appear that he is
somewhat irritated. He naturally does not
like the implied rebuff that his transfer from
Berlin to st. Petersburg implied. He GER
tainly has the sympathy of people generally.
He offended Bismarck by his devotion
to the American hog and by his
shielding Of the red. red head Of Tom Ochil-
tainly did not treat him with the cOnsidera-
ton which he deserved. And he certainly has
the inherent right of all American citizens
the right TO howl. When he gets back here he
says that he is going to make few remarks
and tell all about it. He will be an interest
ing subject for the interviewer as he steams up
New York Bay. POTOMAC.
