VIOIssITUDEs OF POLITICS.
A Man Don't Know Himself Until
He Is Candidate for Office.

A Man Don't Know Himself Until
He Is Candidate Tor Office.
SPECIAL to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, March 28.-Recently a
Minnesota gentleman (who shall be
nameless) become an applicant for
Office. He had lived in the state many
years, and had held many positions OF
trust and emolument, having served
various business men ana several cor
pOrations in a mighty satisfactory mall
ner. He had reached middle life, was
free from the drink habit, never gam
bled in stocks or grain or with cards,
and never had had scandal with any
woman in the world. There were sem
atOrs and representatives in Washing
tou who had known him from boyhood,
and public men from Minnesota who
had been intimately associated with
him in business. All of these cheer
fully bore testimony to his honesty,
ability and business capacity; and it
really seemed that he might secure the
Official position after which his soul
hankered.
But the newspaper correspondents
announced his name in connection with
the Office, and at once the mails
and telegraph lines were flooded
with protests. 1t was learned
suddenly that he was a gambler
"a skin gambler-a convivinte drinker,
and an ail-round wicked man. Charges
OF this character are now on file in one
of the departments against him. His
friends cannot find out who filed them.
The man himself would be awfuily mad,
were it not that he is a philosopher. 1t
is understood that he is now ''rustling"
in Minnesota to re-establiSh his char
acter. He doesn't care cent for the office
now-what he is after, and about all on
earth that lie wants, is to compel his
fellow citizens who do not know him
personally to concede that he has the
abstract right to live i'll peace outside
the walls of the penitentiary.

At the Camp Grounds Yesterday
Morning,

CANTON, March 26.-Contrary to ex-
peetations, the twenty-five women.
wives and daughters of Peoples party
men OF this city, did not turn up at the
camp grounds of the Common Veal
army on account of the weather. and
consequently the men were obliged to
hustle for themselves, as far as their
breakfast was concerned. AT O'Clock
in the morning the camp was turned
into veritable Valley Forge. Small
groups of men could be seen shiy-
ering in every limb, trying to
obtain shelter from the freezing
blasts which came from the west. Two
thirds of the men who started with the
army had taken lodgings in the CITY
prison, but at an early hour they began
to gather at the grounds TO get their
rations. Some difficulty was exper1-
enced III getting men who could use the
cooking utensils to.advantage, but finally
at the east end of the tent gasoline
stoves were set up. and the morning
meal commenced. The donation. which
consisted of one dozen boiled hams. 200

WASHINGTON, March 26.-There Is
being strong pressure brought for the
appointment of Judge Loehren to the
vacancy on the interstate commerce
commission. 1t Is stated that Commits
sioner Vessie, an old friend of Loeh-
ren's, has appealed personally to the
president, and that the entire commits
sion is strongly favorable to Judge
Lochren for the position. Judge Loch-
rem was seen by the GLOBE correspond

than to say that [ have learned that
there is desire in some quarters that L

The impression prevails in Washington
that Judge L0chren can have the place
provided he signifies to the president

the way of selling the Red lake pine dis

Baidwin'S bill, which provides for widely
advertising the sale, and other details in

tiOD around which has clustered more
scandal and suspicion to the acre than
any other matter in which the land de-
partment has been concerned for years.
When the Baldwin bill shall have
passed the corps of surveyors and eX-
aminers will be still further increased,
every means will be adopted to verify
the inspection reports which are filed,
and then the lands will be placed on
sale under the provisions of the Nelson
act as amended by the Baldwin law.
Meantime, all reports and rumors as
to pine land rings and the steal con-
templated upon the Indians have sub
sided, and it looks as though the final
act in Minnesotas pine land play would
be entirely clean and satisfactory.

lou today that the president would send

pressed the opinion that in this event
such bill could be passed without
much trouble or delay.
REGARDED AS a JOKE.
Washington regards the advance of
COXey's army OF peace as a huge joke.
Those who took counsel of their own
timidity and feared that the band of
pilgrims would swell into gigantic
mob OF vagabonds and anarchists, aud
who conjured up a general rising which
might eventually lead to riot and blood
shed, perhaps even revolution. had all
their fears dlspelled when they saw by
the morning paper that CoXey's bOasted
'armY'' had dWindied into less than
hundred men. chiefly tramps who were
willing to exchange the hard board and
cold potato to which they had become
Injured. for a membership i'll the ''army."
Col. A. L. Redstone, Cexey's repre-
sentative in Washington, said today
that he was not disappointed at the poor
showing made by the army of the COM
m0nweal in its first days march toward
the national capital.

thusiastic than it has been, and he evil
IDENTITY does not feel as hopeful as his
statements would indicate. He has
reduced his estimate on those to

all quarters, but their destination is the
same-the departmental waste basket
for they show evidence of being the
production of cranks or would-be prac-
teal jokers.

the Man.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Consider-
able speculation is already atioat here
as to who will be Senator Colquitt's sue
cessor. His term would have expired
March 4. 1895, and quite number of
open candidates were in the field, in
cluding Judge Turner, the dean Of the
Georgia delegation i'll congress; eX-

repeal of the state bank tax. Mr..

the gubernatOrial nomination against
Senator Gordon three years ago; Mr..
Dubignon, the representative of the
Plant railroad system. and Gov.

deal of talk about Speaker Crisp. who,
however, has declined all appeals to be-
come an open candidate.

successor is elected IN October next
and meets in November. The death of
the senator complexities the situation
somewhat. The fact that Gov. Northen
is himself a candidate will, in the opin-

situation, deter him from appointing to
serve during the interim any of the
leading candidates. Two men are men

Bill over Veto.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Represent-
alive Bland consulted with his silver
associates of the house today as to the
chances of passing the silver seigniorage
bill over a veto. he found most OF the

indorse it again even against a veto.
Whether he will make the move or not
is not yet certain, as the most radical
friends of the bill recognize that the
necessary two-thirds vote to overcome
the veto could not be secured in the
house, and without this the move could
be nothing more than a protest. The
vote on the passage of the bill was:

everything passed off harmoniously,
and the prospects seem fiattering TO the
men. Notwithstanding the cold weather.
Many of the men were heard to grumble
about Mr.. Coxey taking lodgings at the
best hotel in the city. and were of the
opinion that he should take dose of
his own medicine. Several were inter-
viewed at the city prison last evening
as to what they intended to do in case
provisions were not furnished en- route,
and each and every one of them said
they would make raid upon the farm
houses.
At the ground this morning the most
noticeable thing was the absence of
anybody to command the much-shat-
tered forces. Carl Browne, the chief
marshal, did not arrive upon the scene
until 10:30 O'Clock, he also taking a
room i'll prominent hotel. Once upon
the grounds, his orders to the men were
after the style OF circus tent man. but
the men were slow in Obeying orders.
Inside the old perforated circus tent
the scene was a curious one. Horses and
men who had bunked together during
the night were huddled III small groups,
trying to keep warm while waiting for
breakfast. No tables had been prepared
for the men to eat upon, and there was
limited supply of knives, forks and
plates; consequently the cOmmIssary,
with all aide, handed out the ham sand

At l0:30 preparati ms were made to

that tine only trouble which will be eX-

room for neutral ground, and house
divided against itself cannot stand is as
true today as when originally uttered
and used in the dark days of the civil
war by Abraham Lincoln, the father of

forefathers did King George in 1776,
