The confidence game that Mr..
Cleveland and Senator Brice are
trying TO play upon each other Is
being watched by the knowing ones
as IL Is bound to be very interesting
as it progresses. These two demo-
Gratis have not worked together
heretofore, but now that each
thinks he can use the other they
are to form a copartnership. Mr..
Cleveland wants friends in the
Senate very badly, and, although
Senator Brice is not an orator, his
ways are very Reconsideration 1t
is to his interest to make them So
and he may be able to render Mr..
Cleveland valuable aid in the
Senate by silencing democrats who
may be disposed TO make speeches
criticizing the administration, If in
no other way. Brice is not under.
taxing the task found so burden
some during the last session of
Congress by Gray, of Del, Villas, of
Wis, and Mills, of Texas, from
philanthropic motive. He isn't
constructed that way. He thinks
he can use Grover Cleveland or he
would never have agreed to become
his champion on the floor Of the
Senate. Brice has developed
Presidential. aspirations. He has
had Campbell nominated for gov
ernor Of Ohio by the democrats in
order that his overwhelming de-
feat may remove him from the
field lof Presidential possibilities.
That will leave the field clear for
the democratic presentation Of
Brice's name as Ohio's candidate
for the democratic Presidential
nominatiop,'--and Brice believes
the friendship of Mr.. Cleveland
will help his aspirations. Perhaps
SO. But will that friendship be
given after Brice's purpose be-
comes known to Mr.. Cleveland I?
Keep your eye on this Cleveland
Brice partnership. Mark the moves
