Some of the Democratic Senators
May Feel Sore over the Distribu-

Washington, May 3l.-1t is clearly cvi-
dent amid all the excitement incident to
a change in the government places, great
and small, that the leaders of the two
great political parties are making ready
for next winters campaign. The repub-
hcans, especially, are getting their scat
tered forces together, and are disposed to
build some hopes for the future The
democrats, flushed with victory and Sc
cUrely seated in tho saddle, have been
somewhat delicate, but they are begin
ming to realize that there are some diff
culties ahead that will have to be sur
mounted. Recent developments in
dicate that the House, the
popular branch of congress,
can be depended upon to meet the ques-
tions decided in the late national election
fairly and squarely The Senate promises
to give trouble, for there are democratic
members of that body who will not be
willing to accept a radical revision of the
tariff such as the House may agree upon.
Then there are members Of this body
democrats, who feel that the President
has not been as liberal toward theirstates
as he might have been, and this contin-
gent can be depended upon to
obstruct any active effort Mr.
Cleveland may make to have the
discordant elements flop together
This situation is n9t made public but is
already fOreseen sd feared BY the con

and Ohio. The loss Of the first two states
and the narrow escape of the other last
fall indicated the locality Of their weak
ness. They hope to redeem themselves
at the ensuing state elections. They
count on the disappointments growing out
of the distribution of marshnls, pOstOtfices
and other patronage to weaken the demo
Gratis in the next local elections, and out Of
this they expect to get some inspiration
to excite the party to activity. They are

the election of a governor in Ohio. They
expect to re-elect Mckinley, possibly over
ex-Gov. Campbell, and ont Of this some Of
them draw a picture Of a presidential
campaign with Mckinley and Robert
Lincoln on their ticket to hold these re-
calcitrant states.
ATLANTA's PosT1AsTERsHIR
The Atlanta postoffice promises to sup
ply the correspondents of Georgia papers
with some gossip very soon. Telegrams
were passed to and from Atlanta today
The friends of DR. Amos Fox are alert
and Representative Livingston and
Senator Colquitt are earnestly at work in
the doctors behalf. This makes a square
ISSUE Mr.. Couper, the candidate of Sen
ator Gordon and. presumably, the candi-
date of Secretary Hoke Smith, being DR.
Fox's most formidable opponent. Mr.
Koutz has no sort of show just now, unless
he comes in as compromise candidate,
as did MIR Dunlap in the race for marshal
People who have marveled over the sur
prises of this administration declare that
they would rather have Mr.. Koutz's
chance. and 1t is possible that this may
be the outcome of the fight.
Secretary Hoke Smith was the only
cabinet minister who remained in the city
