BUT ONE CANDIDATE
If the Next Presidential Campaign Turns
Upon Sound Money.
Ex-Reprcsentative DeForrest Thinks
Nh. Cleveland is Bounl to lead tho -
Democratic Party Again.

IF the election for Congress had to
occur this fall. instead of last. the
complexion of the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress would be very different" said
ex-Representative DeForrest OF Con-
necticut to a star reporter. 1.-THE people
are beginning TO see that they condemned
the democratic party before democratic
legislation had had time to go into effect.
The election occurred during the period of
depression, and the party in power had to
suffer for it.. Now the tide of prosperity
has set In. This is apparent everywhere.
Manufactures are opening up to their full
capacity as a demand for labor and an in
crease of wages. This in crease of wages Is
not made in the spirit of philanthropy, but
results from the manufacturers having so
much work that the demand for the kind of
labor they want compelled them to pay
higher wages in order to get it. The people
begin to see that the democratic admins
tration policy is now taking effect, and
that the democratic tariff legislation is ben
eficial. l think prosperity will continue,
and that all this silver agitation will blow
away before 1t. General prosperity will be
deadly to such agitation. There is a feeling
of contentment, prosperity and happiness
spreading over the country, and our busi-
ness men have confidence in the future"
DO you think, then. that the democrats
nave DriShter prospects Ill the presloen tlal
election than seemed probable a few
months ago?"
Most decidedly. If this prosperity con-
tinues and grows we have right to ex
pect it will. the democrats are sure to sue
ceed in 1885,
"Who do you think will be their candi-
date?" ~-.
THAT rs hard to say. If the silver agita-
ton has died out by that time that will af-
feet the nomination. The issue Of the hour
will go long ways toward determining the
candidate. But If the campaign is made on
the financial question, If the issue is still
currency, there is but one candidate for the
democratic party. If the fight for sound
money has got to be made In the campaign
of '96 Mr.. Cleveland is bound to be our
candidate"

LOOKS MUCH LIKE HAYES.
Predictions That He VIII Be the
Democratic Candidate in Maryland.

Special Dispatch to The EveIing Star.
BALTIMORE, Md, July 2o.-A large num-
ber Of the delegates to the democratic
state convention, which will nopnate
candidate for governor Wednesday, ar
rived in town this morning and the head
quarters of the gentlemen who aspire to
be. Governor Browns successor have been
the resort of the delegates since their ar
rival The friends and supporters of State
Senator Thos. G. Hayes have opened head
quarters at the Carrolton, and Judge
William A. Fisher and the other candidates
for the nomination are prepared to receive
their friends and admirers.
The general consensus of opinion is that
Senator Hayes will be the nominee of the
democracy. And the fact that not only the
county delegates, the majority of whom
are emphaticaly in favor of the reassess-
ment champion. but that local politicians
and those whose Judgment in forecasting
political events is generally relied on, pre-
dict the nomination of Hayes is regarded
as 'most significant by followers of the
state senator.
A report that Mr.. John E. Hurst had
been agreed on as compromise candidate
was generally circulated Saturday night
and yesterday, but is not deemed worthy Of
serious consideration today.
Senator German arrived this morning and
assumed the reins, and the fact that many
of the Senator's closest personal friends
as well as numbers of federal office holders
predict Hayes nomination is strengthening
the belief that he will be made the candi-
date before many ballots have been taken
Wednesday. Senator Germans friends are
preparing to give him ovation in the
convention.
The German presidential boom will be
launched with vigor and enthusiasm and
every effort will be made to impress the
country that the Maryland democrats are
ready to back the Senator as the successor
to President Cleveland.

THE STAMP cXNCEIING LIN; MACHINES.

First Assistant Postmaster General
Jones' Makes Some Contracts.
First Assistant Postmaster General Jones
has succeeded in his fight with the stamp
canceling machine makers. Contracts have
been made with the Boston company,
known as the American Postal Supply
Company. and the Barry Canceling Ma
chine Company of Syracuse, by which the
government secures the Use of 100 ma
chimes for less than 10000 This leaves
half of the annual appropriation available
for renting additional machines which the
service may require This action leaves the
Dolphin machine. Bhich was the first to be
used, and the mafnstay OF the post offices
where 1t was Introduced, entirely out of
the situation. As ,thsre 10 practically no
except in post offices, 1t leaves the defeated
company in a peculiar position. The dispo-
sition of the department was to employ
the Dolphin machines exclusively, as they
were capable Of a high speed, although
they are expensive in operation, requiring
the letters to be faced up" before they are
run through the machine. This company
and received the entire appropriation of
$4,000, part of which last year went to the
owners of the Boston machine.
The Dolphin canceler is especially ef
lectlVe with postal cards, which being all
the same thickness and largely of the same
size can be put through at a speed of
O,VU an hour. But with letters no such
rate is possible The drawback with a
high-speeded machine is the cost and in
convenience of repairs, the machinery
is delicate and liable to frequent break
downs. In the new contracts the lessons
agree to keep the machines in working
order. If the service should require the
use of greater number of machines than
the two hundred now under contract the
department will, in all probability, get one
hundred more Barry machines. The first
one OF these made has been tested in the
Washington post office, and while it did
excellent work. its size and weight were
not such as to give 1t stability and enable
1t to Withstand the speed to which it was
put. The one hundred new machines will
have heavier castings and be first-class in
every respect.
The result is exceedingly gratifying to
Mr.. Jones and to the department, for the
canceling machines have come to stay.
They save the work of hundreds of en-
ployes and many thousands of dollars at
the same time facilitating and expediting
the carrying of the mails.

V"rious Sensational Reports Concern
ing Japan.
At the japanese legation the report in
the morning papers from Vladivostock via
st. Petersburg that Japan is raising her
no credence. No immediate trouble with
Russia is anticipated, according to the
advices received here. and the second or
reserve army corps is being disbanded.
Japan. 1t is said. however is broadening
the basis for her possibilities in case of
war in that she is arranging to further
recruit her navy. No vessels, however,
have been purchased from Peru. The
cruiser Esmeralda was purchased from
Chile before the Chinese war ended.
Mail adviccs received a few. days ago in
dicate that the fighting on the Island of
cable reports indicated, but there is no
Information here to show that the rebels
are being supported by the viceroys of
southern China, has been published.
While this is considered probable, any aid
they would furnish would be rendered Sc
cretly. That additional detachments of the
imperial body guard have been sent to
Formosa is considered probable. The i'm
perial guard corresponds here to the reg
ular army and comprises over 10000 men.
No credence is placed in the report that
the fortffcations at Port Arthur have been
blown up. Eventually VIXEN the Lao Tung
peninsula is surrendered to China in ac-
cordance with the terms of the treaty the
Japanese. of course, will dismantle the
fortif1cations. but as Port Arthur is to be
held as hostage for the payment of the
indemnity the report that it has been
blown up at this time is considered ab-
surd.

CAPTAIN EVANS REQUEST
He Wants to Be Given the Command of
the Battle Ship Indiana.
When Completed She Will BE the
Most Formidable Ship I'm
the Navy.

Capt. r. D. Evans. commanding the
cruiser New York, is il the city on leave
of absence for a few days. He is stopping
at 1924 Indiana avenue.
He was at the Navy Department today
and had long conference with Acting
Secretary McAdoo. 1t is understood that
the captain is desirous of being relieved of
the command Of the New York, which he
has held about a year, and OF being assign
ed to the command of the new battle ship
Indiana This is no rev wlim on the part
of Capt. Evans, for he preferred the re-
quest last spring. and desisted from press
ing it only in order that he might take the
New York to the Kiel demonstration and
back. There is no personal reason for the
change, and the captain, 1t is said Is AMI
mated by nothing more than the ambition
to command what will be the most formid-
able ship in our navy when she is COM
missioned, as the New York is at present.
The Ship Nearly Completed.
The Indiana is already almost complete,
and her builder, Mr.. Cramp, had talk
with Acting Secretary McAdoo this morn
ing relative to her trial trip. She will be
ready for this early in September, as far
as the work on hand is concerned, but 1t is
a question whether she can be cleaned by
that time. For nearly a year she has been
SO much exposed to fouling there as she
would be in salt water, still she has un-
aoubtedly accumulated much grass on her
bottom. and would not be capable of high
speed in that condition. Since her armor
has been put in place the snip draws too
much water to go into any Of the dry
docks on the Atlantic coast, and, unless
she can be lightened materially by the re-
moval of her weights. it may be that she
will have to await the completion of the
Port Royal, S. c., drydock.
The Port Royal Dry Dock.
Commodore Matthews. chief of the bureau
Of yards and docks, has just returned to
Washington from an inspection of this
dock. He reports that the dredging is pro-
crossing rapidly, and that part of the cof-
ferdam closing the entrance of the dock
has already been removed. Probably in
the course of ten days this will be entirely
removed. and within month the sheet
piling al the entrance will be completed
and the dock will be ready to receive the
Indiana or any other ship. provided they
can cross the bar In the harbor, which late
reports show is being daily passed by ships
drawing twenty-five feet of water.

SLIDING WAGE SCALE.
How 1t Operates I'm the South Wales
Coal Mines.

How 1t Operates I'm the South Wales
Coal Mines.
recent report made by United States
Consul Anthony Howells, located at Cardiff,
furnishes some interesting Information con-
cerning the operations of the sliding wage
scale of the South Wales colliers. This re-
port says:
The wages are regulated by sliding scale
based upon the average net selling price OF
coal, as ascertained and certified by two
auditors, or accountants, one of whom is
chosen by the operators, and the other by
the operatives. The wages are advanced or
reduced at the end Of each period of two
months by additions or reductions of IA
per cent, upon the mean monetary result
found by the auditors as between the old
scale dated June, 1882, and the one dated
January, 1890, there being neither maximum
nor minimum. The accountants give, joint
ly, certificate of the net average selling
price for each period Of two months, ana
such price for the two months ending the
last day of February is made to govern
wages from the first day OF April to the
last day of May, and on for every sue
cessive two months. The agreement con-
tinues in force usually for six months. and
thenceforth, until either party gives six
to be given on the 1st of July or on the
frs. day Of any succeeding JanuaEy or
July.
Mr.. Howells says the miners have tried to
secure three amendments, which they con-
slider vital, viz, the increase of percentage.
the establishment Of an umpire and a
minimum wage rate.
