Washington, 1t is said, is the
poorest place in the country to feel
the pulse of the mass of any politi-
cal party. L be national capital is,
nevertheless, center of political
leadership, and it may be quite safe
ly assumed that the "leaders" who
control the machinery of the Demo
cratic party to-day will still have
their hands upon the lever when
the Chicago convention meets next
June.
External signs all indicate the
most thorough understanding be-
tween the Democratic triumvirate.
Thus far there has been no outward
evidence of disagreement or rivalry
between German and Hill, whine
Brice appears to be hand in glove
with both. 1t seems to be tscitly
accepted by Democratic Senators
and Representatives alike what the
next Democratic nominee for the
Presidency will he named by these
three men, and so long as they agree
German obviously holds the situs-
ton in the hollow Of his hand.

GORMAN,S SUN RISING.
The Maryland senator Leads IN
the Democratic Presidential
Race

The following extract rs from the
New York Press on the Presidential
outlook
s presidential possibilities are
again leading topic Of the day IN
Washington. They are bound to be
the chief subject Of speculation dur.
ing the coming five months before
the Minneapolis and Chicago con-
ventions, but the meeting of the
Democratic National Committee
recently has made the situation
within that party especially consplc-
uous.
A good deal of meaning, whether
warranted or not, was attached to
the selection Of the place for hold
imp the next Democratic convention.
OF all the cities aspiring for the
honor, Milwaukee and Cincinnati,
next to New York, were most prom
lnsnt. The claims Of Milwaukee
were presented with most alluring
yehemence by Mayor bad Boy"
Peck, and his promises Of all the
things that Democrats are supposed
most to love, including hard liquor
and thorough tour of the town,
were not excelled even by the elo-
quence of Heary Wattsrsop, who
spoke for Kansas City, or by James
IIreslin and the other orators in be-
half Of New York, 1t was general
ly assumed that Milwaukee was the
choice of the Cleveland men, but it
was not supposed that the destina-
ton of the convention had been
calmly and quietly determined in
advance by the triumvirate WHO
just now appear to be all-powerful
in controlling the Democratic or
ganizltion. There was, consequent
ly, not so much surprise that Mil
waukee and New York were beaten
as there was indignation that Chi
cage was chosen, not as last resort
of compromise, but evidently as the
result of previous agreement be
tween Senators Gormaff, Hill and
Brice.
