Tribune's Story of Proposed
Alliance Not Unexpected
in Diplomatic Circle 8

From The Tribnncs Washington bureau
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Possibility
that Great Britain will make an al
lance with Germany on the advice of
a group of international bankers, as
indicated in the special cable dispatch
from London in to-day's Tribune, was
not unexpected intelligence to official
and diplomatic circles in Washingto on,
it was disclosed
While ohicisl.y the United States
government is eldeavoring to maintain
a neutral attitude in the negotiations
now under way between Paris and
London with reference to future Yela-
tions with Germany, officials here have
been watching with intense interest
the various moves that are being made
by the leaders in each nation on the
question of German reparations.
While it has been definitely decided
by the Wilson inistration that no
American representative or observer
will be present at the contemplated
financial conference between the pow
ers at Geneva, there nevertheless is a
desire on the part Of this government
to discourage any further rupture be-
tween the Allies.
Justice in Claims of Both
1t is rclazed here that there is
justice in the claims of both France
and Great Britain as to the commercial
future of all western European ma
tions but it likewise i. realized that
the United States has trade troubles
of her own to compose. The feeling
here is that President Wilson's watch
full waiting" policy shall be in order
until some amicable agreement has
been reached between the French anc
British authorities.
Inform alton has reached this govern
ment that France desires not only tC
compel Germany to carry out the terms
of the peace treaty with regard tc
reparations and indemnities. but sht
also expects that obligations entered
into before the war with Russia shal
be met. On the other hand, the de
sire of Great Britain to protect hersel.
CONNIE REALLY is we'll understood here
and in some circles is deemed entirely
justified Doubt, however, is enter
tanned officially that Great Britain:
hope of trade with Russia will evel
materialize. This doubt, in fact. i:
so pronounced that the report that {

less Of vitupcrntion and personal abuse
than had been tho r,ilc for years. The Re-

il was never solidly Democratic before the
war, and the doubtful states were New

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 5.---The Sep.
trmhcr election in Maine is one OF the few
apte-election "straws' still left from the
old DAYS. Twice in the history of the
country the news from Name IN Sep
tembcr was portentous. In 1910 IT. ac-
curatelv indicated that Harrison would
sweep the country. In 1880, forty years
later. il showed that the Republican $
were in a terrible condition and in danger
of being wiped of the earth. The DEM
ocrats became too conf dent, the Republf-
cans put almost superhuman energy into
the fght, and GARFIELD won by q very small
majority. Even then if it had not been
for the treachery of Tammany Hall, the
Republican fight would have been lost.
The campaign of 1880 stands out as the
one presidential contest in which political
manipulation and chicanery overshadowed
everything else Both Garfield and Ham
cock were nominated by shrewd manipu-
lation in the face of the fact that the
majority IN each party preferred an other
man. Garfield faced what seemed certain
defeat from knitting by great leaders In his
own party The Republican breach was
closed by the making of MANY promises,
most of which would not be fu s led. In
the Democratic party the leaders who were
battling for reform" were outwltted by.
the practical politicians, and the very
same practical politicians committed
party suicide in the closing days of the
campaign.
The Republican National Convention
at Chicago in 1880 was the scene of the
greatest battle ever fought for political
nomination. General Grant, having re-
turned from a triumphant tour around
the world, was an active candidate for
third term. He had the support of hosts
of the Republican voters and of the shout
ing masses. James G.. Blaine was the
favorite of the politicians and of a ma
jority of the Republicans who were not
carried away by the glamor of Grants
military fame Blaine was the most
magnetic leader his party has had, and
his following was personal one.
POETIC POLITICIAN.
Opposed to Blaine was the able Roscoe
Conkling, Senator from New York. Be-
cause he hated Blame rather than because
he loved Grant, Conkling led the Grant
forces in the convention. He placed Grant
in nomination in the famous speech be-
ginning:

could prevent it, Garfield WAS skilled
politician with long service In the House

General Hancock, on the other hand,

his defeat. The tariff issue WAS very
vital one then, and Hancock's contention

For days and days the battle waged, the
Grant and Blaine forces holding hrin, and
each of dozen other candidates hoping to
be the lucky dark horse.
John Sherman of OHIO was serious
candidate, he thought, and his name had
been placed in nomination by James A.
Garfield. Garleld's speech was adroit
and conciliatory and while he was speak
ing for Sherman there were responsive
cries from the house for Garfield. AT tho
beginning of the second week, on the thirty
sixth ballot, the Blaine column marched
solidlv to Garfield the break having been
led by Wisconsin. The Wisconsin delega-
ton decided upon Garfield over William
Window by margin of but one vote. Had
Window received that State he might
have captured the nomination. When
Garfield was nominated there were still
BOG delegates voting for Grant Ihe
immortal 3O6," they were called, and gold
medals were struck for them In commem-
grafton of the stand they made. TWAS the
first effort TO obtain a third term ever
made bv any man who had been President
Conkling was furious over the nomina-
ton of Garfield, whom he did not trust.
He refused to select the ce-presidential
candidate, but the convention named
Chester A. Arthur, just because he was
friend of Conkling. We sometimes make
Presidents so. General Grant was also
and for a time he and Conk-
ling were agreed to knife the ticket and
defeat Garfield The balance between the
two parties WAS then so even that any
great leader sulking in the tent, on either
side, meant defeat.
REPUBLICANS COT TOGETHER.
But later in the campaign, after the
news from Maine came In, peace was re-
stored. The prospect of complete over
throw of Republican power caused the
party leaders to bury their factionsl DIFF
ferenoes. Conkling at last consented TO
call on Garfield. And, as a supreme sacri-
ficc of personal feelings. Conkling per-
suaded General Grant to take the stump
for the first time In his life TO speak for
Garfield. That stopped the lncipient
revolt which threatened irretrievable dis
aster to the party.

PARSON DAVIES
 DIES IN VIRGINIA

Chicago, June 29-Word was re- ceived here today of the death of Charles Edward ("Parson") Davies, well known in the sporting world, at Bedford Va, yesterday The body will be brought here for burial
 He came into prominence in the early 'S0s as manager of Dan O'Leary, the champion walker. He afterward took over the management of Peter Jackson, colored heavy weight champion. Under Davies direction Jackson fought draw with James Corbett, lasting sixty rounds.
 Davies put Jackson in the title role of an Uncle Toms Cabin" company with Joe Choynski as his sparring partner fns exhibitions that were a part of thepIaN. Later he organized another theatrical company with John l.. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan playing the feature rolls.
 It is said that Cornelius Vanderbilt was responsible for his nickname of "Parson" When O'Lcary was giy- ing an exhibition walking match at Madison Square Garden, Vanderbilt is said to have inquired who ''the clerical looking gentleman was. Upon be- ing told, he is said to have remarked that Davies looked more like parson than a. sporting manager.
