Washington, Dec. Special )-Tha recent deliverance of Grover Cleveland regarding the future of the democratic party has stirred up many prominent democrats in the congress who feel as he does but did not think the time had come to agitate the matter. These people are sorry that Cleveland got in first with his recommendations. They figured that inasmuch as the next cleo tion of importance will come two years hence there would be plenty of time to sound the note that now has been given by the stuffed prophet.
 So far as the minority leaders at the capitol are concerned they believe that between the two democratic factions before the next campaign. It is said that one of the prominent democrats of the house is preparing a speech on the subject of harmony which he will de- liver at the first favorable opportunity. In due time, unless he shall change his mind, it will appear in the Congress sional Record and be distributed throughout the country. As an avenue for the circulation of political doctrine the Record is indispensable to both parties. It does not follow that Bryan democrats will necessarily subscribe to the views of the would-be harmoniZers. They still have the party machinery in their grasp. While some of them ad- init that reorganization of some kind is desirable, they are not disposed to permit the "old line" democrats to have their own way.
 The reappearance of Cleveland at this time is regarded as indisputable evidence that he believes there is a chance for him to grasp the reins or leadership. He was never more mis- taken, if the utterances of democrats here furnish any criterion. Repubii- can leaders also express the opinion that he will never again be d leader All the policies that Cleveland stood for have been proved to be dangerous fallacies. The country will not soon forget the disastrous results of his ad- ministration. The predicament in which the democrats find themselves is of their own manufacture and the country will lose no sleep pending their efforts to get together"
 NEBRASKA STRUGGLE.
 The Nebraska senatorial struggle is attracting much attention here. The Nebraska legislature which convenes the first of next month will have two senators to elect, one to fill the vacancy caused by the death of MT. Hayward, which is being filled by William V. Alien, populist, and the other to sue ceed John M. 1hurston. The latter, a year ago announced his intention not to be candidate for reelection, but since the legislature is safely repub- lican he has given indications of a de- sire to be returned. The chances are not in his favor. George D. Meike- john, assistant secretary of war; Ed ward Rosewater, editor of the Omaha Bee; David H. Mercer of Omaha; Da- vid E. Thompson of Lincoln, Former Congressman Hainer, Former Governor Crounse, L. Richard and E. H. Hin shaw are the candidates. Meiklejohn was the first to open headquarters at Lincoln and is regarded here as very strong candidate. Rosewater is mak ing a desperate struggle. In times past he has antagOnized the republican Headers in Nebraska and they show a disposition to get even with him. The senatorship is said to be the main topic of conversation at Lincoln and the contest promises to be memorable one
