Special Dispatch to The Appeal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.--Some shrewd
political observers see in the horoscope of
politics new face which they think will
be factor in the race this fall. The fact
that there are constant chickering's and
troubles among the Democrats of Indiana
leads these gentlemen TO think that there
will BE- no name from the lloosier state on
the presidential ticket Of the Democracy
this year. The name OF Col Villas has
been mentioned us q possibility for the
vice-presidential nomination, but ii is the
general opinion that Wisconsin is safe
Republican State and that IT, would be
useless to attempt TO wrest it from the Re-
publican column by the Use OF q nomina-
ton. Not so with Michigan. There
are many leading Democrats who
have been led to believe that Michigan
might be carried II proper efforts were
made. The elevation Of Mr.. Dickinson TO
the Cabinet, in Il position which gives
him the chance 10 make himself more
popular with his party than he could pos.
sibly be by any other method, is looked
upon as forcrunncr Of what events VIII
bring forth within the next few weeks. II
Is predicted that Mr.. Dickinson will do all
in his power TO win the approval Of his
party associates; that within the next sixty
DAYS the name Of the Postmaster General
will be talked Of as freely in connection
with the Vice Presidency M was the name
Of Mr.. Stevenson year ago. llhe should
be nominated on tho ticket with Mr.
Cleveland the contest would bc confined
almost exclusively 10 the Wolverine state,
and the contest would without doubt be
the most lively ever seen there. The fact
that Mr.. Dickinson has no military record,
however, will be looked upon ~ an insu-
pemblo objection 10 his nomination.
