HOW SENATOR GORMAN REGAINED BIS POPTEAR HOLD ON THE STATE—THE FIGHT FOR THE Gov- RRNORSHIP—LAYING PIPES FOR THE SUCCESSION To SENATOR WILSON. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Bartmore, June 20.—In the preliminary maneuvering for the governorship the policy of the democratic jeaders has been a vacillat- ing one.

A. Fisher of this city was to be the choice of the managers and therein Lies a secret which bas just come out. Last wing before Senator Beck died and Senator had been made chairman of the demo- eratic caucus of the Senate his campaign for re-election to the Senate was in a precarious condition. The Maryland legislature had just | adjourned and the record of the managers in | Chesapeake and Obio canal legislation, in re-| gard to the Australun ballot fustem and’ in the Tegistration law and the high-license move- | ment for Baltimore city—all bad conspired to put them in bad odor and Mr. Gorman was a sufferer. To whom should he turn in his lemma? To Judge Fisher, who was identified with no faction and than whom no man stood higher im the es | timation of the people. He was the leading spirit in the Democvatic Busines Men's Asso- | ciation, wltich conducted the municipal cam- | ‘ign in this city two years, and while a life- [oug and consistent democrat was a man of strong independent prochivities. Judge Fisher then was to be the candidate for governor aud | Mr. Gorwan was to float in on the wave of democratic success to his old seat in the Senate. This alliance, offensive and defensive, ealled for the sacrifice of some of Mr. Gorman's heretofore stanchest supporters, whose enmity would put Mr. Gorman somewhat in the light ofsreformer. He was to play the part of a reformer—a new apostle, as it were. MR. GORMAN'S LUCKY STAR. Bats lucky star shone over Gorman’s natal day. Senator Beck died. Mr. Gorman suc- eceded him as chairman of the democratic caucus. Then the led force bill came up and with it came Gorman’s opportunity. As chairman of tictis he had to lead the fight against it. He combined his forces with the silver men, and while he committed his party to free silver—a position from which Mr. Cleveland has not yet been abie to extricate it—he won his fightand came out of ita popular hero with his party. He stepped into greater prominence than he Sad ever known before and greater than any one ever supposed he would attain. His friends in } Maryland gave him a silver service as a testi- | posmble candidate for the pr situation was at once changed. ‘Ihe effect of all these things was to place Mr. Gorman in the tien of saying to the democrats of Mary- “What are you going to do abont it?” By which is me What are you going to do about my cansdic for re-election to the United States s te They responded so unanimously that they SOME AMERICANS WHO ABE ACHIEVING SUCCESS— A PROPOSED OPERATIC TOUR—IRVING TO SPEND HIS SUMMER SOLIDAYS IN THIS COUNTRY—A NEW “LIFE OF LADY HamiLros.” Loxpox, June 20.—The Earl of Dysart in an angry letter published in the Times protests vigorously against the action of the directors of the Richter concerts in not engaging the serv- ices of German vocalists to interpret German These concerts have proved to be a great snecess, but it is doubtful if the London and finally have been compelled to settle on | public would prefer German singers to the artists under engagement.

It wus denied at the ddoing this, but it was true auu his purpose was to assume active charge of his own campaign.

Freeman Rasin, Gorman’ f of staff and for a long time the dominant spirit in democratic politics in this city. In doing this Kasin placed himself for the first time in the role of a state leader. This move for Smith meant that Robert F.

As announced in yesterday's Star the his- toric Le Droit Park fence across Linden strect has been put up once more, much to the dis- satisfaction and disgust of the people who live in Howardtown and other neighborhoods be- yond the park. The anti-parkites have taken a firm stand and say they intend to fight the case through until it is finally settled in the Su- Preme Court. ‘They say they were as much surprised as grieved at the decision of the Court in General Term, but they do not intend to let the matter rest nor the fence remain. Mr. August Schmidt, who is one of the lead- ing outsiders and opponents of the fence, said toa Stan reporter today that he was sorry for the decision, not only for his own sake and the sake of his neighbors, but also for the people within the patk who are opposed to the fence and who, now that the streets have been de- clared to be no thoroughfare, must be deprived of pavements, water, gasand sewers at the pub- lic expense. ‘The streets originally were dedi- cated to the public use and when the park was platted the survey was recorded without reser- Yation. Since the street had been left open so Jong.” continued Mr. Schmidt, ‘we supposed it would remain so and we were as much sur- prised over the action of the court in permit- ting the fence to be restored as if private in- dividuais bad been atlowed to restore a fence across Pennsylvania avenue which had been erected and then torn down in answer to popular demand. We think that until the case can be finally settled Linden street ought to have been left open to travel.” ————___ AMUSEMENTS, Axnavon’s.—The summer season of the Carle- ton OperaCompany closes at Albaugh’s tonight with “The Gondoliers,” which the company pre- sented here first with such marked success a few weeks ago, and it is not to be doubted that the final house will be as full as the final per- formance will be good.

How the Proprietors Can Be Proceeded Against for Selling Liquor. ‘The war on the floating barges above the Aqueduct bridge bas commenced again. This time the Potomac Stone Company are the com- plainants, and it charges in a letter recently received by the Commissioners that one of these boats was in deep water and unlawfully selling liquor without a license. Lieut. Hollinberger was detailed to inquire into the matter and he reported after an investigation that the question of jurisdiction was a mooted one. The owner applied for a retail license during the former board's term of office and the then at- torney for the District held that inasmuch as the barge was lying in a cove and beyond the line running from headland to headland it was without the jurisdiction of the Commissioners. He stated further that application was made last summer for a license, but the Commis- sioners did not grant it. Attorney Hazelton was then called upon for an opinion, which he forwarded today. He says there is little doubt that the jurisdiction of the Commissioners extends to high-water mark, and if upon investigation the officers find it within the jurisdiction of the Commissioners he has no doubt that the selling of liquor there is illicit. While, he continues, the proprietor of such a liquor saloon anchored upon water, ag the ouc in question, cannot present a case for a license to the Commissioners Within the form and requiremei nevertheless if within the jurisdiction and reach of the District authorities he selis intoxi- cating liquors whether in a saloon resting upor the earth or floating in the air or upon the waters of the Potomac without its consent he violates the law. He recommends that the police look into the matter and if satisfied that the floating saloon is within the territorial jurisdiction of the District authorities to “move upor its works” at an early day. The police have been ordered to investigate the matter. —_—__ Go ox Pex Mar excursion June 25, * RGSS TRA Auction Sales of Real Estate, Thos.

Campbell taking Maj. ‘McKinley out for a drive after his nomination so that driving with both her husband and can- didate of the upposing party she would be sure to have s drive with the next governor uf Ohio that day calls to mind the fact that the wife of Gov. Campbell is regarded as one of the best politicians in that state. The governor himeelf has a way of making » host of friends for every enemy he excites, and many of them love him onacconnt of the enemies he has made, but without Mrs. Campbell to help him he would find honors perhaps not less sure, but harder to get. She isa woman of extraordinary tact, dso entirely free from anobbishness or affectation that many an influential but humble political worker who has been disposed to get St outs with “Jimmy” has changed bis mind about it after receiving some kindness and courtesy at her hands. “During the time Gov. Campbell was s member of the House they lived in very good style here, mingling in society ood deal. ‘They were popular among fash- jonable people, but no one from their homo in Ohio was ever too unfashionabie to meet with x warm reception by Mrs. Campbell at her own Rouse and by her tact jeavored to make the most awkward feel easy. Not all of the constituents of a member of Congress are of a character to shine im Washington society and members have often suffered in consequence of adisinclination on the part of their wives to be annoyed with the presence of persons of whose general appearance they are ashamed of in the presence of their more fashionable friends. Governor Campbell never had any- thing of this sort to contend with. Had he been lacking in tact himself his wife would have made good the defect. A San reporter was told that es the mistress of the governor's mansion she exercises the same tact she showed while here and that she is ever looking out for the interests of “Jimmy,” as she never fails to call her husband when speaking with an Ohioan. By her diplomacy she hus won over to her hus- band many who were disposed to be hostile, and in not a few cuses, it is suid, the criticisms of Obio newspuper men have becn silenced by social attentions. One man, however, with whom both the governor and Mrs, Campbell have been anxivus to maintain friendly rela- tions the lady's best diplomacy has failed to capture. Mrs, Campbell, it is suid, has. tried in every way to bring the’ governor and John R. McLean together, but Mr. McLean still re- mains hostile. sesame Death of Sergt. Nokes. George W.
