Relying Upon German.

The Washington correspondent of the Bal
fimore american. speaking of the displace-
ment of the "gag-rule'' on Monday, and of
Senator Germans mastery efforts against the
Force bill and the gag-rule, said:
A striking instance ofthe absolute, helpless
dependence of the Democratic senators on
Mr.. German, occurred in the afternoon.
While the clerk WAS reading the Reappor.
iionment bill, as reported by Mr.. Hale. Mr.
Hale suggested that the Senate consent to the
omission by the clerk Of the long array OF
tables, showing the apportionment to every
state under all figures Of total membership OF
the House from three hundred and thirty-two
to three hundred and ninety-fiye. He further

German for President.

A movement has been started in New York,
among those of Southern birth, looking to
the advancement of Senator A. p. German
to the Presidency. 1t is very natural for the
people to feel grateful to the Maryland Sen
alter, especially the Southern people, for the
mastery way in which he has fought and
defeated the Force bill and gug-rule Mr..
German, during his eight or ten years service
in the Senate, has proven himself an able
debater, an excellent parliamentarian, and a
man of great foresight and cool Judgment.
During the last session, by common consent,
Senator German was made the leader, and
the Democrats in both houses of Congress
look to him for guidance and advice. For
his services he is entitled to the gratitude of
all Democrats and patriotic citizens every
where, but Mr. German, we feel sure would
not allow his name to be considered in connec-
ton with the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency at this time.
