THE CAPITOL GOSSIP.
WHAT ITiNERATE STATESMEN SAY
ABOUT FREE COINAGE.
Tho Presidency and the Next spoakership.
Cleveland tho Fayorite of Kentucky.
Notes About the Third Party.

prominent Democrats were in the city to-
day. Senator Carlisle and Senator Faux
ner have just returned to the city, and
both were downtown convcrsing with
their numerous friends about public mat
tiers and the political outlook. The Ken
tuckian is on his way to New York, where
q subcommittee of the Senate Finance
Committee are looking into certain Gus
toms matters. Mr. Carlisle has had very
little TO say about the recent convention
in his State, for the reason that he was not
present, and therefore was not mixed mp in
the rather lively tilt which resulted IN
victory for the believers in the free coinage
of silver.
AN ARDENT BELIEVER.
Congressman McCrearv, of Kentucky, is
also here. He was at the convention and
took a prominent part in shaping the
policy of that memorable gathering. He
is an ardent believer in the free coinage
proposition, and has repeatedly declared
that no public man in his State could stand
up against the demand that Is being made
for tree coinage.
Mr.. McCreary thinks that il is too soon TO
predict accurately who will be nominated
next year for the presidency by the Democ-
favorable to Cleveland. He does not con-
slider that the party is committed TO one
man. however, and Kentucky Will be pru-
dent
NOT PROBABLE.
II Kentucky presents q name for the
speakershp il is quite likely that the
genial Ex-Governor who is now here VIII
be the man. Mr.. McCreary IS not de-
termined yet however, To- allow ms name
TO 90 before the caucus. The chances are
that he will not. IL is not probable that
he would get much of vote. because the
honor was held three terms by MIR. Car
Isle, and it will 60 20 someother Common
wealth next time.
Mr.. McCreary will undoubtedly be the
chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commit
tee in the next House. This IL the posi-,
tion he held in tie Fiftieth Congress, and
he has made a speciality OF. Legislation Oh
this character.
STRONG N LoUDoUN.
Hon. John +. Ryan, member OF the VIZ
| GINA Legislature from the county OF Lou

coinage sentiment among the FARMERS oi

SHERMAN AND THE CHANGERS.
Although the Changers of Ohio decided
at Columbus last week not 10 put tleket
in the field this does not mean that there
will not be third party in the State. The
| Alliance and the labor organizations are
| yet ~ hold their convention, and then II
Is claimed that they will nominate toi
State officers. At any rate the Changers
are determined TO try TO beat !Sena
! tor Sherman, and if they 60 In to
win they they will probably succeed. MT
| Sherman has always been playing IN with
Wall street and he is not the kind OF
man that the farmers admire If they arc
| honest in their professions in the Buckeye
| country. He has been a bitter partisan,
and at times a rank South-hater, ana Drll
| liant rs he is the Democrats will rejoice u
! a combination Is formed that will senl
him TO join ingalls, in retirement.
JERRY on THE STUMP.
| Congressman Jerry Simpson is going e

party and against Sherman, Mckinley, anC
