Brice has developed presidential AZ

the democrats in order that his over

Hon. Lloyd Lowndes. the republic
can nominee for governor of MARY
land. passed through Washington
this week. He is very confident of
his election. although he frankly saws
that il will be no ch1ldsplay to Dust the
democrast who have controlled the
state government for nearly thirty
Years without break The Macvlani
campaign will be fought on local is
sues excessively. The tariff and sll
yer will not cut any figure. At last
year, Congressional elections the
state went republican bv about 5000.
and this year with the republicans
united and enthusiastic and the dem
ocrats divided and Indifferent ii is
not surprising that the republicans
should expect to carry the state. A
gentleman who has just returned
from a trip through the Bay shore
section OF the state says if the feeling
i the same in other sections and the
oystcrmea and farmers vote as they
talk the state Will give republican
majority at $4,000 This gentleman
SAYS lie did not meet single demo-
crat who expressed amy confidence az
carrying the state. while he met
scores Who said they thought the
state would 60 republican and that
they didn't care if it did
TITS whispered ii the most exclu-
siye cuckoo circle, that the vacancy
in the L. ;. supreme court has been |
placed at the disposal Of Mr., f. FL |
ierv Anderson of New York. who Is |
one Of the original cuckoos. and who |
Is. III e Mr.. Cleveland and 80 many of |
his appointees. a corporation lawyer. |
According to these cuckoo whisper |
ing.. ii Mr.. Ellery wants the place he
has only to say SO and it will become |
his. after Mr.. Cleveland has made all |
the use possible Of the vocaacv a. q |
persuader to make prominent demo
Gratis see the financial and other cues
tions a. he sees them.
Just now there i considerable talk
among those who are usually used bv
the administration when there Is a |
desire TO ascertain how the public |
would take anything about the inten-
ton OF Secretary Olney to give u a
vigorous and thoroughly American
foreign policy from this time on.
This may or may not be true about
the future. but there is certainly
nothing either vigorous or American
in the exasperatingly slow manner in
which the case OF poor Waller is being
handled by the Department OF state.
Perhaps things will get a more rapid
move OH after Secretary Olnev returns
from his vacation. One thing may
be set down as certain. Ii Secretary
Olney will take bold stand in our
foreign policy ne can count upon the
stauneh support OF the republicans in
Congress.
senator Quay's Washington friends
are rejoicing over his great personal
victory. and predicting that it will
result in his being asked to manage
the presidential campaign.
