InE WASHINGTON CRITIC asks this ques.
ton;
Does the Sun want the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall of Pennsylvania 10 succeed the late
W. II. Barnum OF Connecticut as the chair
man of the Democratic National Commit.
teeiu
The next chairman of the National Com
mittee Will. we suppose, be chosen from
among the members of that committee, and
Mr.. Randall is not member.
-,?shc;ci= plenty Of material ~ the commit.
tee for the chairmanship.
: Arthur Sewall OF Maine would make a good
chairman He is a slrewd man of affairs an
excellent executive oficer and an indefat.
jPable worker.
Senator German would be chairman
worth having. He IL a Democrat through and
through, and there Is a ring In his name that
sounds like party success.
Calvin s. Brlce of Ohio would do admir-.
ably His hopeful temperament Is valuable
quality lie has had lots Of experience, and
ought TO know the right thing from the
wrong thing pretty well bv this time
There is scarcely member of the present
Democratic National Committee who would
not be satisfactory to us as Its chairman II
he were chosen as Democrat, and only as u
Democrat. The duties Of the Office will not
be Of hrst'rate Importance during the next
three years.
What we do not want Is a chairman chosen
as the representative Of the Cleveland Mills
policy OF 1885, for the purpose of fastening
fls. T.. 4
promoting the political fortunes of any Presl.
dental candidate identified with that episode
of folly and disaster
The San is usually eminently ex-
plicit, II departs somewhat in the
above from the usual style. Does it
class Mr. Randall and Mr.. Bnce in the
same category Does it want Mr. Ran.
