That is question which is prohst,

The opinion has been expressAdt.
experts, that the administrator Ny,
before the date mentioned, be com
PEELED to choose between aDotbs,

session OF congress, to provide n.
money needed to run the govern

there is no run made on the gold 4

Ex-senator Sanders, of Montan.
recently in Washington, speaking !,
republican probabilities said: an

son and Bob Lincoln. do 40.
mean, however, that the chances a
the candidates are to be rated in tbs
order in which | have named hem
Bob Lincoln is a sort of dars
horse, but the fact that he is the Al.
torney for the Chicago gas trust and
the Pullman car company will work
against his nomination. Were he 4
pick quarrel with Pullman. h
would do a very shrewd thing, ana
his chances for getting the nomina.
ton would be materially increased
Ex-senator Hiscock, Of New York
came to Washington last week Oh
private business, but, of course he
had to talk politics, or appear to be
rude and impolite, things he has
never learned. Mr.. Hiscock said the
New York republicans, howeya
much divided they might be On
some other matters are united In
their desire to make Gov. Morton the
next republican president; that they
will consider no second choice until
the convention votes against Cor.
Morton. He ended the conversation
by saying: Il believe Gov. Morton
can be nominated. While New York
isn't SO much of n pivotal state as il
has been in past years, still the fact
that she is united upon certain
candidate will give her great pres
tige, and ! hope it will be sufficient
to give him the nomination. There
is no force in the argument that MI
Morton is too old. He was never ID
better health. He is much youngeF
man than Gladstone, and is capable
of great deal more hard work
Col. +. f. Wood, a prominent Ohio
lawyer, when in Washington on bust
ness, was asked what he thought Of
the political outlook in his state
He said: The republicans will eleci
their state ticket in Ohio this yea
by a handsome majority. Gen. Bush
nell is personally one Of the be'
liked men in the state. He T
friend of both Mckinley and f@I
aker, and is the man who can paeliY
any friction that might develop 0e
tween their followers. Mcktnley
will have his home delegation "
hind him for the presidential nomF
nation, but If it comes to a secona
choice Allison is. ] think, the favor
tie with Ohio republicans. The pes
the democrats hope for in our 'ta''
is to carry the Legislature, wllc'
will elect a successor to sena'4
Briee, but this seems to me a veg
forlorn hope"
Heretofore the administrator l'S
confined its fight of the silver depl'
Gratis to the making OF appointlnenc
but from this time on it IS nll's
men prominently connected VIA
the administration are talking he'7
ly to hear the sound of their voice
to include the making Of vacahcl'S
In other words, it has been dela
mined that every democrat VI
holds office through the influence
democratic senator or represeu''

less he can get the influence
