cred Doubtful.

Washington. Dec. Ii. "Straws show
which way the wind blows" and the
Democratic leaders are greatly encour-
aged by the developments in the politi-
cal situation throughout the country
during the past few weeks.
While they do not depend on Repub-
lican disorganization for their own vic
tory in 1904, they recognize that the ex-
isting Republican dissatisfaction affords
splendid opportunity to get together
and, by presenting united front, the
Democrats hope to win the next presi-
dental election.
The factional quarrel in Maryland
gave Senator German chance to win
in that State, and it has been restored
to the Democratic column, where it
will undoubtedly remain for years to
come. The tenderness of the President
for the ''colored brother" socially as
well as officially, has offset all the con-
ciliatory work Of President Mckinley
in the south.
Mr.. Roosevelt apparently has joined
hands with Governor Odell to unhorse
Senator Platt, although the latter, in a
final effort to save himself the day be-
fore the recent White House confer
ence-at which he was told to take a
back seat-came out with the an
nouncement that New York was solid
for Roosevelt and would go Republican
in 1904. Apparently the president
doubted Senator Platt's sincerity or
questioned his ability to deliver the
goods and linked his fortunes with
those of Odell.
AS goes New York, SO probably will
go New Jersey and Connecticut, in all
three OF which the Democratic pros

States are citizens, and may locate
mining claims There is no require
ment in the general mining laws that
citizens shall be OF any particular age.
TO say that minors are not qualified
locators is to say that they are not citi-
zens. The conclusion is strengthened
by the circumstances, that in some in
stances the statutes require that the
citizen shall be of a certain or particu-
lar age before they may acquire certain
classes of public lands. Thus in refer
ence to coal lands, the provision is that
every person above the age of u years
who is a citizen of the United States
may locate certain number of acres
and receive patent after performing
certain requirements and paying GER
tain amount per acre, according to lOca-
ton, etc. Similar provisions exist as

presidency.
Debatable Ground.
Colorado and Idaho are deba BILE
ground. and with Senator Dubois max
ing fight for reelection, constitute
strong Democratic possibilities.
Although Montana went Republican
last year by "a small plurality, the Re-
publican candidate for congress failed
to receive majority of all the votes
cast.
The Republicans are confronted with
a perplexing problem in Utah. If they
unseat Senator Smoot they will un-
doubleday lose the state at the next
election. AT the same time, if they
fail to respond favorably to the numer-
Gus petitions now flooding the senate,
they are liable to incur the polit cal
enlargement of the petitioners.
The rejection on Monday last by the
regular Republicans of Delaware of
the harmony proposition advanced by
the uniOnists, offers an advantage for
the Democrats, and they are preparing
for an active campaign in that state.
At the last general election the Demo-
Gratis polled 1866 votes to l2,99S for
the Union Republican and S,02S for the
regular Republican candidate, so that,
although the Republicans, if united,
would have majority of about 5000 in
the state, yet the Democratic candi-
date for congress was elected by plu-
rality of $500.
Need to Win II Votes.
The next electoral college will have
476 votes, and even the most optimistic
Republicans concede the following
states to the Democrats in 1904: Ala
bama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
htutuChy, IIOulSldud, Nut lduu, MIS-
sissippi, Missouri, Nevada, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia, with 1872 electoral votes
in all, leaving but II to be secured in
order to win.
Conservative Republicans realize
that Mr.. Roosevelt will be weak in
parts of the East, and many admit that
New York, New Jersey. Connecticut
and Delaware. with their 81 electoral
votes, are doubtful states, with the
chances favoring the Democrats. This
wauld give 223 electoral votes, or but
Is less than majority.
To secure these additional votes the
following states may be drawn from:
Indiana, with IL votes: Colorado, 5:
Idaho, 3; Utah, 3: Montana, 3: Wash
ington, 5; Wyoming, 3: West Virginia,
!; Nebraska, Shaking a total of %
