GoRMAN ZOE LEADER.

The New York Times says: Senate Ed
ward Murphy. of New York, has the cour-
age oil his sympathies. He declares that
senator German ought to be the next chair
man of the Democratic national committee.
Although history has failed to record the
fact, we presume that il was in similar terms
OF polite compliment that Gen. Charles Lee,
brooding over the wreck OF his own reputa
ton and career and meditating schemes of
revenge against George Washington, may
have suggested that Benedict Arnold would
be the best and ablest man 10 lead the Amer,
lean army 10 The spring campaign OF l7sl
But Senator Murphy's motion is before the
house Do we hear it seconded by Mr.. Have

The New York World says The logic of
German as director of the campaign would
require the domination OF Brice for Presi-
dent and Jim Smith. Jr,, for Vice-President
upon a platform resting on barrel OF trust
sugar, a lump OF combination coal, pile of
railroad iron aud a heap OF manufactured
products bearing Mckinley duties Tor the
henefit of Democratic monopoiists. Under
such leadership and conditions the whole
remaining forests OF the continent would
not hold the Democrats who wonld 'tske To

DISCUSSING MR. RAYNER.

The announcement yesterday OF the date
for Mr.. Rayner's opening meeting at the
Music Hail next Tuesday is to day the lead
ing topic OF conversation in political circles.
Many are the speculations a. To what will
he the subject matter of the brilliant ex
Congressmans speech and the whole polit
ical situation is on the qui vive for the de
velopments that are bound TO occur.
Among the lawyers particularly there is
ner. l, is understood that $50 leading mem
bers OF the Baltimore har have written To
Mr.. Rsyner, proffering him their support in
the coming campaign The names of these
will he published with the rest at MIR Ray
ner's preliminary committee Around the
courts to-day MIR. Rsyner's fight was being
briskly discussed Que prominent lawyer
said:
al predict that Mr. Rayner will meet with
the most remarkable success in the history
of politics in Maryland so far iron hi:
having what is generally known as a tigh'
on his hands, il is my opinion that before
bis campaign is many days old it will de
velop into general scramble between the
counties and the wards in the city to see
who can get into line first Tor him. His
election will be almost as easy as was Frans
Browns four years ago, and instead OF find
ing the party in a hole, as most people think
ii is now, il is my opinion with lsidor Ray
ner as the standard bearer the party will Be
put on prominence where neither the Re
puhIicans nor the bosses will be able tr
