1t showed the better side of their lives, says
the New York Recorder, for as these four men sat
drinking together last night before the Hoffman
house bar, they somehow began to say some
thing about home.

They gathered nearer, and the big fellow put
his hand in his inside pocket and took out a
black leather case about the size of an ordinary
wallet.
He pulled the strap, and the case unfolded,
revealing five photographs, neatly bound.

is Flower rammany's Candidate7

is Flower Tammany's Candidate7
There is a great deal Of gossip in New
York to the effect that Gov elect Flower
is Tammany's candidate for the democratic
nomination for President This gossip,
however. does not appear to come from
democratic sources. 1t is found chiefly in
the republican newspapers, and, therefore,
there is some reason for thinking that it is
manufactured by republicans who are anx-
ious to prevent the nomination Of Mr..
Cleveland.
Mr.. Croker, the Tammany chief, is re-
ported in a republican new spaper as saying
that Mr.. Flower will serve the state of New
York just one year, and that he will then
resign the Governorship. just as Mr.. Cleve-s
land did, and for the same reason. 1t is certain
that Mr.. Flower has said nothing to indi-
cate t hat he is a candidate for the presden-
tial nomination Of his party
1t may be true that he thinks
he can sec ure the New York dele
cation to the national democratic conven-
ton and that the presidential nomination
is within in his reach. The vote he received
in the recent election certainly justiies him
in thinking that he is quite popular
throughout the state. His vote ia New
York city was not as large as 1t was thought
it would be, but outside of the city it sxs--
ceeded expectations.
There is nothing to be said against Mr.
Flower. and there is no reason why he
should not seek the highest honor in the
gift of the people, but he should not over
look the fact that while the Democratic
party outside of New York will willingly
acquiesce in the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land it will not be an easy matter to get it
to consent to the nomination Of any other
New York man. The reason is that Mr..
Cleveland has the confidence OF
democrats throughout the entire country
to greater extent than any other man.
and it would be difficult to make their
representatives in the national convention
believe that New Yorker other than Mr..
Cleveland could get a larger number of
electoral votes than a western man. If it
should become apparent that New York
does not intend to ask tor the nomination
of Mr.. Cleveland the pressure in behalf Of
a western candidate would become remark
ably strong. If, therefore, Mr.. Flower
should be the choice of the New York dele
cation he wouldn't necessarily get the
nomin alton

The sneakershin Contest.

The contest for the speakership is squarely
between Judge Crisp and Mr.. Mills. The
other candidates do not command much at
tention. They viii not be heard Of after
the first ballot. Indeed, it is probable that
several of them will announce their with
drawal before the meeting OF the caucus.
1t looks as if the contest would be an
amicable one. So far as Judge
Crisp is concerned it will be.
In conve, sation in Washington Monday
ne said he hoped it would be so conducted
that there would be no ill-feeling after it
was over. He desires that harmonious
feeling shall prevail among the democrats
so that the successful candidate will have
the hearty support of all the democratic
members. He is particularly anxious that
the party shall make good record during
the coming session.
But while Judge Crisp is anxious that the
contest shall be friendly one the friends
of some of the other candidates are inclined
TO introduce into it issues that would tend
to arouse bad feeling. For instance, it is
asserted that the Tammany leaders are GO
ing to Washington for the purpose of de-
manding the election of Judge Crisp.
1t may be that the Tammany men
of the New York delegation will
support Judge Crisp, but if they dc
it will not be because of any effort on the
part of Tammany to dominate the caucus.
1t will be because he is the choice of the
Tammany congressman.
The assertion that Judge Crisp is Tam
mapy's candidate is undoubtedly made
with the hope of lessening his chances OF
election. But attacks like this will do him
no harm. The purpose of them is wei
understood There is no probability thai
Tammany will take an active part in the
contest.
Some of the newspapers favorable to Mr.
Mills express the opinion that the opposi.
ton to him is not formidable. They are
not dealing fairly with their readers.

Since the arrest of Lieut.. j. E. Doire nv
the Missouri authorities for burglary at
Hannibal the war department has learned
or number OF fraudulent transactions at
his hands. Some of these involve the bor
rowing of money from friends under false
pretenses. Others chiefly consist In the
duplication of pay accounts. At the time
of his desertion from Fort Leavenworth he
was charged with the latter offense. Since
then the department has learned that he
duplicated his accounts several times for
the month of August. Since his arrest in
Missouri the fact has come to light that he
signed and hypothecated several additional
sets for September and October.
Some OF the unfortunate paper
snavers who advanced the money
are now trying to secure settlement
from the war department. But as all ex-
cept one voucher for each month are IL
legal most OF them will be sadly disap-
pointed. Steps have been taken by the war
department to get hold of the prisoner as
soon as the courts of Missouri have got
through with him. On the charges of de-
sertion and duplication of pay accounts
he will of course be dismissed from the
service. Meanwhile there is apparently
nothing to prevent him from drawing just
as much pay as any man of equal rank in
the army. That is the most peculiar
phase Of 1t. Another curious part of it
will also puzzle the department no little.
As the same man made all of those dupli-
cate pay accounts about the same time how
on earth is the department to decide which
shall be pronounced genuine and which
shall os considered spurious and invalid!
That's the question.
