PoLIr1os AT THE CAPITOL.
All the Parties Have Opened Up Head-
 quarters There.


 Washington, July 31-The democrat ic headquarters of the congressional campaign committee are located in the building adjoining Wormley's. The republican headquarters of the con- gressional campaign committee are To- cated at the Hotel Normandie. The national committee of the silver party has engaged headquarters in the Cor coran building. The Peoples party has rented rooms for its national commit tee at No. 1420 New York avenue, and 1t is asserted by friends of Senator Jones' chairman of the democratic committee, that he has decided to pro- cure quarters here that will accommo- date not only his own committee, but also the committees of the democratic allies-the silver and peoples party men. Thus Washington outranks it. self as political center. There is much to be said in favor of this ar rangement. The capitol is conserva tive: it has every facility for campaign work and every side of the political
 
 from a news view point.
 Lawrence Gardener, secretary of the League of Democratic clubs, has charge of the congressional work, while Con- gressman Bab2ock is at the helm for the republicans. MT. Turner of Geor- gia will have charge of the headquar- ters of the populists, and A. H. Pile will be temporarily in charge of the sil- yer party headquarters. A mass of literature is being naaiaed daily from these respective points, presenting ar guments on all sides and covering ev- cry phase of the political questions of the day.
 The treasury department surprised the respective headquarters yesterday by issuing a pamphlet covering the thousands of queries recently received there respecting the financial history of the government. There is we'll grounded rumor afloat that Senator German will give Senator Jones, dem, the benefit of his counsel and advice, provided the national committee estab- fishes itself in Washington.
 The Maryland senator's country seat being at Laurel, Md, less than an hours ride from Washington, such an alliance might be very conveniently worked. It Is we'll known fact that many public men who have been thrown into quandary as to how pro- ceed during the coming campaign have consulted MT. German, and that many others intend doing so before they set tie upon their course of procedure.
 There appears to be a growing im- pression in this neighborhood that the middle-of-t populists will even- tually place a presidential candidate in the field. Those in a position to know insist that Mr Bryan will not accept the terms of the populists, and that MT. Sewall has no intention of yielding to Mir Watson, which points in the con- troversy would appear to indicate a third presidential nominee.
 Many middle of the-road men say this nominee must be Tom Watson of Georgia, while others maintain that Mr. Norton, the middle-o -the-road candidate for president, should receive their support.
 Before leaving Washington for North Carolina Dr. Mott, ex-chairman of the silver party, expressed the opinion that there should be no trouble about fusing on electors In answer to the query Do you believe that either Watson or Sewall will come off his ticket?" he said he had no idea what would be done in that direction, but even if each re- fused to get out of the others way he did not see why that should cause much trouble.
 Large clerical forces have been em- ployed by the several headquarters, and it is probable these will be materi- ally strengthened as the campaign pro-
