WAsIIING1ON, May 1S..-Itis is thought
here by many that Henry Watterson's
letter has had the effect Of bringing
the great American public to reali-
Zatlon OF the true Democratic situa.
tlon. Mr.. Watterson is personal
irlt nd of Mr.. Cleveland, but he is a
better friend of the Democratic party.
ne IS for Democratic success above all
thlngs. ne believes the Democrats
can win II they nominate the proper
man, but he, like MIR. Cleveland him.

admirers, doubt success with him

problem TO solve is the selection of
that man. The situation at present
does not present name"
There are thousands of Cleveland
men all over this country who feel Just
this way. Few, indeed. are the Demo
Gratis who believe Mr.. Cleveland could
be elected if nominated. Yet. the
average Cleveland man entertains
such feelings of hostility toward MIR.
Hill that they would prefer to see the
party 60 down in defeat with Mr..
Cleveland its standard bearer than to
victory with Mr.. Hill, or any man
whom MIR. Hill would so favor as to
attempt to throw New York's vote to,

But 1T is absurd to say that Hill is
the only Democrat who can be elected,

Should Arthur i. German, of Mary

country against any living Republican

were such. German is a man who
would poll the vote of every Democrat

popular as in New York and he would
carry that by majority equal to that

Mr.. German has been in the service
OF the Democratic party since his |
childhood. At ten years of age he was
a page in the Senate. He remained

maryland house Of representatives:
then a state senator from which he
was elected to the United States Senate
IN which he has served since the 4th of
