WHO Is SBVELL'S MAN?
Some Say Mckinley and Others
Say Allison-Flutter in
Washington.

WASHINGTON. April 3, 1Ss6.-Up to
the present time Senator Sewell has per-
sistently declined to declare his prefer
ence for the Presidential nominee of the
Republican party. Reeds friends, through
Manley and others. have been sounding
him without securing any defnit infor-
has automatically responded that he
would wait until the convention met at
st. Louis and would see what was besl
for the Republican party.
The impression now prevails, however,
that Senator Sewell is for Mckinley.
This belief has some foundation in the
fact that some time ago, when the Nc
Kinley managers made up their slate of
States. they included New Jersey. This
they would hardly lave lone if they had
not been in conference with the leader
of the New Jersey Republicans. Follow
ing after this straw comes the report of
the substantial Mckinley victories yes
terday in the First DISTRICT and espe-
cially in Senator Sewell's home, Camden.
had been against Mckinley, like Quay
and Plat and others are, for instance,
he would have interposed his wi infiu-
ence to have checked the Mckinley move
ment. On the contrary, from can
be learned here, he gave it his cordial
support.
Iu0 dCllOu OIL tuG TITSl 1lSlTlcI prlIUd-
ries yesterday, coupled with the election
Of Representative McEwan, who is a
Mckinley ma as a national delegate
from the Hudson County district, has
caused quite a f1utter in the New Jersey
delegation here. Congressman Fowler,
the chief exponent of the Reed boom,
is not in Washington now, but the rest
of the delegation rather think the Reed
boom has collapsed.
There is, however, another side of the
matter. It is said that Senator Sewell is
not for Mckinley, but that he has been
thrown down in his own State.
An intimate personal friend of the Sen
ator said to me this afternoon that he
knew Mr.. Sewe1l was for Allison and that
he has been hoping for Alliscn's nominal
ton He is said to have made some in
quiries as to Allison's strength in New
Jersey. and finding that it was ineonsid-

Kinley movement go along. in the hope
that the delegates can De controlled later.

MARGARET FLANAGAN'S MONEY
Trying to Prove Her Daughters
Idenftty-A Hi of Romance.

James S. Bower. executor of the estate of
Margaret Flanagan, has settled up the es-
tate, made his final accounting and is now
puzzled about what he shall do with 1851. IS
which remains in his hands. He applied
structions.
Mrs. Flanagan. who kept a little grocery
store at No. 29s Newark avenue, died on
April IS, 1895. A young woman who lived
with her and who was recognized as her
daughter is an applicant for the money. Mrs.
Flanagan was married to a man named James
Dugan and it is claimed that the young
woman is the issue of that marriage. She
was left, when an infant, in a basket at
the door of the Founding Asylum in New
York with a card giving her name. Five
years afterward. her reputed mother, who
was then Mrs. Flanagan, reclaimed her and
took her home. Flanagan disappeared sixteen
years ago and has never been heard of.
Several neighbors testified this morning that
the claimant. who is now twenty-five years
old and lives in Seventh street, was always
recognized as Mrs. Flanagan's daughter and
that Mrs. Flanagan often said she was her
own flesh and blood. Judge Hudspeth re-
ferred the matter to Counsellor Van Horne
to be investigated. He will look up the records
at the Board of Vital Statistics and the
Founding Asylum in New York.

Harmony and work.

The many meetings held all over the
CITY last night were most propitious for
the Democratic ticket. There were large
gatherings at all. There was an unmis-
taxable air Of success about them.
The candidates who appeared talked like
-men-like honest, intelligent. earnest men.
ey impressed their hearers with their
sth, and gatherings which began by
being only earnestly Democratic ended
up wildly enthusiastic.
One thing that Colonel Boltwood said
at one or two of the meetings was espeei-
ally important. He cautioned his hearers
against too easy a confidence. It was
all very wei. he said, to talk Of Republi-
can discussions, out it would be fatal TO
rely on them. The party leaders were
lust cunning enough to keep up an ap-
psaranee of bad feeling for the purpose of
lulling the Democracy into fatal security.
There was only one thing that could really
be relied upon, and that was personal eff
fort.
This was the right way to talk. Any
general who counted on the mistakes of
his enemy to win him victory would
deserve cond;gn defeat. ard the rule that
holds good in war applies to politics just
as well. The Republican party is not
conrting defeat this year. Victory means
to 1t just what it means to the Democracy.
It wants the places. It wants the patron
age. 1t wants the grip. 1t wants the
control of the election machinery next
fall, and 1t wants the prestige of victory
when 1t enters upon the Moyoralty fight
next year. Captain Jack Graham and
Alderman Mccarthy may be d~isgruntled
and Colonel Toffey may feel sore. But
they all have more to lose by a Democratic
success than by the victory of their own
party even under leaders of another fac
ton. 1t is therefore fair to suppose that,
however ugly they may feel, they will
swallow their wrath on election day and
1t least refrain from knitting the Republic
can ticket. We do not mean to say that
we gain no advantage from Republican
divisions. That would be absurd. We
do gain advantages of the highest i'm
portance. The lack of enthusiasm in the
party, the -estrangement Of the rank and
file, the falling off in active work in cam
vassing, all these things give us great
advantages.
But We insist that to rely upon these
minor elements to win the day for us in
tie whole city or in any one ward or pre-
cinct would be sheer insanity. and would
bring upon us a defeat. which we would
riaily deserve.
There are two watchwords which en-
body the demands of the present cam
paign. They are Harmony and Work
We aave achieved the former. There does
not appear to be a trace Of asperity in
any part Of the city. We really believe
the other has been taken up in the righl
way. TOO. The candidates have gone per
