Washington, Nov. 4.-In conse-
auence of the democratic victory in
New York city, Charles A. ToWne, ex-
senator, eN-oongressman, ex-ylce
presidential nominee and ex-resident
of Minnesota, will become promi-
nent figure in the democratic national
convention and may be either the
presidential or vice presidential cam
didate.
That is the talk in Washington to-
day.
Towna is now a Tammanyite and
New Yorker. He took an active part
in the New Z ork campaign and in his
capacity as spellbinder did as much as
any. other man to bring about the
election of Mcclellan.
1t has become a, fixed idea in the
minds of the democratic managers
that New fork must receive primary
consideration in the selection of the
presidential candidate. If the west
or middle west furnishes the princi-
pal candidate, then Towne will be the
very probable choice for second place
OH the ticket.

On the other hand. there are many
democrats who believe Towne would

east and west and who favor him for
first place. These would have Mayor
Carter Harrison of Chicago for vice
president TO run with Towne.
This program proceeds upon the
theory that German will be unable to
command the support of the Bryan
following. All the present time Cor

The TamInany victory in New York

an indication Of any change in party
sentiment turnout the country. The
city of New York is normally demo-
cratic by a large majority and the six
| ty odd thousand for Mcclellan is
nothing to what would be polled for
the democratic ticket in presiden-
! tlal year. The issues in the campaign
were distinctly local and the results
must be considered by themselves.
