The times., 1897-09-28

Senator Deboe, of Kentucky, is expected
to reSoh Washington this week. He comes
here to meet the President upon his re-
turn, and pull down several local plurns
that are overripc and due 10 fall into
the outstretched hands of the Republicans
who arc on the Senator's slate.
Chief among these local offices is that
of surveyor of the port at Louisville, for
which the chairman of the State Republican
executive committee, Barnett, has been
slated. Barnett has been her., several DAYS
awaiting the arrival OF the President and
the Senator. He said last night that ne
expected his appointment to be made this
week.
There appears to be no truth in the
statement teIegraphed from the West
that Dr.. Hunter had given up the idea
of going abroad and would contest for
this place. Dr. Hunter has denied il over
his own signature.
In doing so DR.. Hunter is wise In
the first place, from a pecuniary stand
point, DIR. Hunter does not need the
place, and If he Were TO 20 after il he
could not land it. He would simply make
enemies of men In the State who are now
his friends, and would weaken himself
immensely without accomplishing any
thing DR.. Hunter may go abroad, but
he will not fill any of the local offices.
There will be plenty of candidates for
the voters of new New York TO choose
from when it comes to electing the first
mayor or the greater city. Low, the can
didate of the Citizens Union, has declined
to withdraw and the efforts OF the regular
organization to puHcture his boom have
failed.
Tam,nany VIII put up it's own candidate
and the regular organization dominated by
Senator Platt VIII do the same. II the
Tamnany platform ignores the Chicago
platform there viii be a slougting OF free
silver Democrats, and II Henry George
agrees to become the candidate Of the free
silver democrats he may become potent
factor in this remarkable municipal cleo
ton.
George ran second when he was pirted
against Hewitt and Teddy Roosevelt, and
if he was able to run up to sixty odd thou
sand votes when comparatively unknown
man, what may he not accomplish, now
that he is widely known, especially If he
represents tie great issue for which th.
DeInOCTdtlC party staHuSI
There is no longer any doubt but that
the whole power of the Administration
Will be thrown to the support of the ticket
to be nominated by Senator Plat This
Administration OF all Administrations,
should iadorse and support the machine
1t was brought into power by machine
organized and managed by Mark Hanna,
and organized and managed asno machine
has been in recent history.
1t is y machine-made Administration,
and cannot well go behind politics of that
school. Senator Flatt believes In machine
politics and so does Hanna; Mckinley
enjoys the usufruct OF machine politics
while Low stands upon high moral plane,
which this Administration cannot indorsc
without an implied rebuke OF Hanna and
his methods.
In the other party there is division of
sentiment. Bryan refuses to be drawn
into the campaign, he having refused, in
late interview, to give any suggestions
that would look as If he were endeavor-
ing to dictate to the local Democracy.
On the other hand, Chairman Jones is
out strongly for the platform, and says the
issue should be clearly defined in every
campaign, and that all Democrats should
stand squarely on the Chicago platform
This Is equivalent to the Endorsement OF
Henry Georges nomination If Tammany
repudiates the Chicago platform.
The dispa tch fr.lm Ohio announcing that
The President intends To ppoint Hon. Ohm
Little, of Xenia. that State, as member
of the supreme court upon the retirement
of Justice Field, is slot believed by those
who know Afr. Little. Mr.. Little is most
estimable citizen and jealous Republican,
but lie is not a mdu of such reputa ton as
