tial boom Is net encouraged to be talk
ed about very much by Nh Gorman's
friends. and il is said that this is IN
accordance with the plan Of compaign
Of that statesman for the present, says
the Washington Star. Mr.. German
absence in Europe cuts off great
deal of talk. and thes do say that Mr..
German considered that result when
he decided to absent himself.
The German people encourage the
talk about Judge Parker Mr.. Cleveland
and any other possibility whose name
is presented, but the strongest back
ers of the Maryland man quickly shl4t
the conversation to the other candi-
date when Mr Germans name is men
toned. He is t/ba talked about wnen
the others are talked out, it is said.
Later it is expected substantial impe
tus will be given the German move
ment. He will be the most prominent
Democrat in congress. He Will be the
absolute leader of the party in the sen.
ate and will be consulted by the Demo-
Gratis of the house His name Will be
connected with every important rr6ve
the Democrats make in opposition to
Republican legislation.
Mr.. Gormans Hopes.
1t is said by observing politicians
tnat Mr.. German hopes to clincA his
nomination by his course in congress
as the leader of his party. Moreover,
it is declared by some that he intends
to endeayor to direct the policy Of the
party along lines expected to be adopt
ed by the Democrats in their succeed
ing national convention, thereby max.
ing himself more distinctly the nrst
Democrat of the land
Mr.. Germans most enthusiastic
friends do not hesitate to declare that
he aSpirps to be the Moses of his
party, to unity its factions in congress
AMI direct the efforts to harmonious
action, expecting to reap the gratitude
OF the Democracy in the convention of
1904.
1t is said by Mr. Germans friends
that he is the only Democrat aspiring
TO the presidency who has anything
like an organization and there is no
question that Mr.. German has one. I
Mr.. German is in touch with the ma
chine leaders in the several states. he
does not train with the sentimentaistS
but does business direct with the men
who have goods TO deliver and would
deliver them.
One careful observer of the Mary
land mans course, in commenting upon |
that feature of the German boom said:
You will find all the Parker talk
and the Cleveland talk and the dark
horse talk being INDUCED in by the
gossip of his neighbors. He knows of
German in general way. But go to
the party leaders in any big state, the
men in control of the Democratic ma
chine, and you will come in contact
Immediately with the German boom.
1t will be found that these men are III
communication with German. All OF
them know nlm and are posted about
his doings, That is the result Of Cor
mans organization, which directly
trearL~yith the machine leaders"
When a German man does talk about
the Marylander his conversation soon
takes one perceptible drift-that is. to-
ward Mr.. Germans conservatism,
and the confidence which, it is claim
ed, the business interests would feel
in him. The listener is told with
reiteration that Mr.. German could get
campaign funds from business sources
That is urged as valuable asset IN
a Democratic candidate, and it is
claimed for Mr.. German above all
other candidates, whether correctly or
not.
About Judge Parker.
AnO her fact in connection with the
German boom has not escaped the at
