GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON REGARDING THE
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL TICKET
OF NEXT YEAR

Washington. June Is (SpeciaD.-There is a story
In town to-day, coming from quarter likely to be
well Informed. which may throw light the sub
tect OF who will be Bryans running mate next year
The greater number OF Democrats who consider
themselves regular believe that the old tickets OF
the two great parties will be renominated with the
exception OF Sewan. For the second place many
OF these Democrats regard John r. Mclean az pc
cusrly well fitted because OF his advocacy Of free
silver and more particularly his possession Of a
barrel"
The report from Ohio that Mr.. Mclean IS looking
for the nomination is swiftly followed by the in
formation that paper in favor OF free com
age and other Democratic principles is TO be estap-
lished in Washington before long. 1t would appear
that neither OF the existing newspaper plants
here could be secured for the Purpose for the state
ment is that half million dollars is to be raised
TO be invested in a silver paper. and that the men
who are moving In the matter mean business. The
further statement Is made that Mr.. Mclean is the
chief financial in the transaction. This. with
the gossip OF his candidacy Is construed to SIGNIFY
that the Ohio-Washington millionaire who owns a
large amount Of corporation stock and is therefore
a suitable successor TO Mr.. Sewal on ticket with
Mr. Bryan In his contest against the wealth and In
telligence OF the country, is dead In earnest as 10
being in the Presidential campaign OF 1900 As Mr.
Mclean has sometimes been regarded as possessing
Presidential bee himself, It Is suggested that his
Nce-Pre dentia aspirations may be the cover under
which ne hopes TO carry of the greater prize AZ
any rate, some OF his friends seem 10 think that II,
for any reason, Mr.. Bryan is not renominated and
q silver man Is desirable the baton OF leadership
may be placed in the hands Of Mr.. Mclean.
