what the Politicians Say.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--The few congress
men who are in Washington, and particu-
larly those Of them who are Democrats, do
not hesitate to talk about the Democratic
victory. Senator Mcpherson, of New Jer-
sey, said that When the principles and ira
ditions OF the country were irampled upon,
when the wishes of the people were disre
uarded and extraordinary power put in the
hands OF one man, when extrayngant ex
penditures were resorted TO, extraordinary
pension measures passed (giying pensions
20 those who did not deserve them), when
a heavy increase Of taxation was imposed
upon the people while they were demand
ing reduction, when all these things had
happened, ii was to be expected that the
people would rise up as a body and rebuke
the party responsible for il. OF probable
presidential candidates, the senator said;
Probable Presidential Candidates,
awe can 60 anywhere almost in the
country to get our candidate The field is
broadened We are not dependent upon
New York and disturbed by her local
quarrels. II they will not settle their diff
erenees we are not obliged TO 90 TO New
York for our president"
Representative Wilson, Of West Vir-
ginia, who Is spoken Of for the speaker
ship, said that The results showed that
confidence might be placed on the people
as final resort to approve the right and
put the seal Of their condemnation on
those who attempt usurpation Of powers
and disregard public interest AS to the
presidency, be said he had no doubt that
Mr.. Cleveland held the heart Of the Demo-
cratic party, bot he could not predict what
would come out OF the present situation.
''The mention OF Cleveland's name on the
stump he said. "always calls forth an en-
thusiastic response. often avoided men
