WHITNEY FOR GOVERNOR.



New York. August THE World of yes
tcrday. in its Saratoga correspondence,
publishes Il very sensational political fore
cast of politics in that state, in which it
processes to unfold Il scheme which will
have far-reaching effects ON state and ma
tional politics. 1t is that movements are
being set III motion to elect William G..
Whitney governor in 1894 and thus pave
the way for his nomination as president in
1896.
The astute manner in which Whitney has
made friends, both with the administration
and with the New York machine and the
way i'll which he has allied himself with
both elements, gives The World its cue for
its theory
The Worlds correspondent, the paper
being at present engaged in devoted support
of the administration and fighting the New
York machine, eagerly pounces on the al
legged plot The correspondent says the
weak point in Whitney's possible candidacy
is the fear that the corporation cry would
defeat him ut the polls To stand any
chance in the face of the great popular
agitation which is prophesiod for the com
ing four years, he must demonstrate his
popularity with the people. This is all the
more necessary because he owes his point
zeal stand to appointive offices. But to do
this he must have 4 tremendous majority
for governor and must. therefore, ally HIM
self closely with all the political elements
of the state without fighting any OF them.
Then, i'll case the present factlonal hight
grows hotter, the cry will be for great
man, who can unite the factions. for a
pcacemaker. According to The World :
correspondent Whtncy's present course
shows that he is working his wires to bring
about such Il state of things, when he will
step in. seize the reins of the situation,
carry New York for governor by an over
whelming majority, and hold the key TO
the situ1 tlOu in 1S1t

All those who were saved were in condi-

Miss Wagner and little Nellie Weber never
came to the surface. nor have their bodies
been recovered. 1t is thought that the

as to render it impossible for them to come
up. This may also account for the fact
that up to midnight their bodies have not
been recovered.
The steamer Gunter remained at the
scene of the disaster for an hour and then
returned to Chattanooga. arriving at 6
o'clock. Every effort WAS made by the
Guntcr's crew to find the whereabouts Of the

rather seriously i'll, requiring change

seven-eighths OF the conversation. But

Mr.. Bland, of Missouri, the leade. in
the house OF the radical silver men OF
the country, is more temperate than
the governor OF Colorado. He does not
promise that the silver knights shall
wade in blood up to their horses
brides. AS Democrat he threatens
his party with tho secession from its
ranks OF all the silver Democrats. They
will not only secede, but having gone
out they will fight the Democratic
party.
Ii Mr.. Bland and his friends regard
the silver question as the greatest of
all the questions OF the day and as the
test OF partisan utilization, they are
right to leave what no longer suits
them and to take up with something
else if they can find it, or TO fashion
something to their liking and go in for
that.
1t may be that there ia to DO new
partisan lining up by reason of the silver
controversy. Ii SO about the time that
Mr.. Bland and his friends leave the
Democratic party there will DO doser-
tions from the Republican ranks, for
the Republican party rs an organization
believes in q sound financial system
and cannot support anything less.
Republicans could not find fault with
their former associates for leaving a
party which docs not represent them
on great question.
These things will develop themselves
in time. The present duty of patriotic
men in Congress is to vote for the best
interests OF their country, leaving the
