A SIGNIFICANT OMISSION.

The Examiner calls attention TO the
Chronicles silent intlm alton that Senator
Perkins Wednesday night speech was
worth reporting. The Examiner remarks
incidentally:
The omission was especially remarkable In
view of the fact that the speech was delivered
in building owned by the proprietor of the
paper. This Incident seems TO lend color TO
the theory that The campaign OF Mr. Perkins
inconsistent with the aspirations of the di-
rector general.
Another theory, not of Mr.. Perkins
campaign but OF the campaign generally,
is that the director-general no longer has
aspirations. Unless the impressions of
close friends of Colonel Burns are i'll
founded. the only Senatorial aspirations
inimical to Mr.. Perkins are entertained
by Colonel Burns himself. There is also
reason 10 believe that at one time Colonel
Burns did intend to toss the short term to
his newspaper associate, reserving the
long term, 10 commence two years later,
for himself. But Colonel Burns now per-
ceives that his hold upon the political ma
chine is weake Mug. He is said to enter
tain grave doubt, ii he Will be in politics at
all in 1896. The boss got such habit of
turning his friends down during the ses-
sion of the late Burns convention that he
is said 10 have lost the faculty of perceiv-
ing realizing wrath that may naturally
fOllow
