democratic national committee; Sena

Gently come to his committee, and
Representative Price and several
other Louisiana democrats. That Mr.
Carlisle did not carry any cheering
assurances to Mr.. Cleveland is GER
tain, but it is expected here that his
visit will result in some action by the
administration, looking towards a
cessation of the democratic stampede
now going on, but even the most SAN
guine democrats do not expect it to
succeed. Democratic doom has been
| pronounced.
Mr.. jeremiah O'Rourke, who was
compelled by Secretary Carlisle to
turn loose one of the best paying Of
fees under the Treasury department?
supervising architect said before
leaving Washington that Logan Car
Isle, chief clerk of the Treasury, was
at the bottom of all his woes. Logan
wanted to dictate all the appoint
ments, decisions concerning contracts
etc., in the Supervising Architects Of
fee, just as he does in all the other
Treasury Bureaus, and Mr.. O'Rourke
objected. Secretary Carlisle stood by
his son Logan, as he usually does, and
Mr.. O'Rourke added the prefix "ex"
to his name. While this would seem
to be merely democratic family row,
it is in reality something much more
important. The Supervising Architect
is charged with the duty of letting all
contracts for the construction or re-
pair of public buildings throughout
the country, and there is much ugly
talk about contractors being favored
by order of Logan Carlisle. O'Rourke
openly threatened to make sensation
al disclosures, concerning the business
of the architects Office, and did say
that had he favored the contractors
his resignation would never have
been asked for. But just then some in
hueuce was brought to bear upon him
and he suddenly became as dumb as
a clam. Still, it will surprise nobody
hereabouts to find the architects Of
flee the center of a sensational scan
dal ia the near future. Others besides
Mr.. O'RourAe are in possession Of the
facts, and they may not be so easily
muzzled.
General Malone, who, as chairman
of the Virginia State Republican Com
mittee, advised not long ago that no
republican Congressional nomination
be made in that State, has changed
his mind. He now says: ''The bolt Of
the Louisiana sugar planters looks like
the enterin4 wedge in the disruption
OF the solid South. It is the most sig

pened in late years. IF I mistake not
the example Of the disaffected Louis
ianaians will prove contagious, and we
shall see the solidarity Of the demo-
cratic party in the South speedily dis
integrating. In spite of all the cheat
ing that is apt to be done in Virginia
this year by the dominant party, the
old dominion will probably send three
republicans to the House. In Mary
land the republicans will win at least
three districts and | think two in
West Virginia. In Louisiana the demo-
Gratis will be lucky to get off with the
loss Of only three Congressman. In
the North it will be a clean sweep for
the republicans"
Representative Hooker, of New
York, who has been all over that
State since the adjournment Of Con-
gress, says the republicans are GER
tain to carry twenty out of the TWEEN
tyfour Congressional districts out
side Of Brooklyn and New York City,
and that he will not be surprised if all
of them are carried. That's the kind
of talk that every republican who
comes to Washington these days in
dulges in.
