when his previous predictions were verl-
fed at the polls.
Neu who are intimate with Senator
German still maintain that he has not
.hanrod his ideas respecting Mr.. Clcve-
land. strength since the last campaign.
Wnro il not for the fact that Mr. German
lives in what is still regarded as a South
crn State, there is every reason to be-
lieye that his great popularity with his
marty would win him the first place on the
Democratic ticket at the next convention.
He is an IDEAL Democratic leader. Ii he
is ever elevated 10 the Presidency his

Tor belongs the spois." 1t was because
Prcsidcn; Cleveland went oil on his civil
service reform hobby that Senator Cor

German i born politician. He is
spokesman simply because he regards the
distribution Of official favors to party
workers in order to hold the party to-
eeiher Some Of the best politicians i'll
either the democratic or Republican par
ties declare that Mr.. Cleveland owes his
defeat to the fact that he did not follow
the advice of men of the German callbcr
in politics in no, turning the entire army
of Republican officials cut Of their soft
bcrihs and replacing them hy men who
helped elect him when he became Presi-
dent
1t is generally believed that if Mr..
German supports Mr. Cleveland for the
Democratic nominee next year he will do
50 because he has assurances that he has
changed his civil service IDEAS considcra-
hly, or because the Maryland Senator
sees that Cleveland is destined to win the
prize in spite OF all The opposition that
can be brought to bear against him.
While there is no concentration Of SEN
liment on the Democratic side at this
time ii is believed that Cleveland is the
strongest candidate BY this it is meant
that If there is not great change in sem
iment he will 90 into the convention
with the largest number of delegates at
his beck and call If Cleveland is de-
icated before the convention it will he
