DEMOCRATS ALL PULLING TOGETHES Messrs. Morrison and Stevenson at Presidential Possibilities. ceiioniatiaien WHAT THEIR FRIENDS SAY — ee ‘The presence in town of ex-Congressman George R. Davis of Chioago brings up dis- cussion of the Illinois senatorship, which, it seems to be believed now, will again go to Mr. Cullom without further contest. Mr. Davis, toward whom for awhile the anti- Cullom people were looking, has announced that he is no longer to be considered in the race, and this, as the Cullom men assert, disposes of the last possibility of serious oppositior. to their favorite, The movement against Mr. Cullom had its origin in the city of Chicago. Both of the Illinois Senators being from Spring- field, Chicago contended that one of the places should be assigned to another por- tion of the state, and that, in this division, the claims of the metropolis were para- mount to all others. In turn, therefore, the names of ex-Congressman Mason, Ed- itor Medill of the Chicago Tribune and Mr. Davis were all brought forward. - The opposition, however, failed to crystallize around any one of them, and each in turn drew out of the race. Mr. Cullom appears now to have a clear field. The election wil] take place next month, and the new term will begin in March, Looking to Gen. Palmer's Sent. But while Mr. Davis is no longer in Mr, Cullom’s way, it is not thought that he has given over his aspirations to come to the Senate. In two years a successor to Gen, Palmer will have to be selected, and the prediction is made that Mr. Davis will be in that rece. The republicans of Illinois are in high feather over their sweeping victory last month, and are confident of their ability to capture the Palmer seat. Then the claims of Chicago to one of the senatorships can be brought forward with renewed ‘ind increased force, and Mr. Davis and other ambitious party leaders living there can settle the question of who shall oe the prize in case the republicans win Democrats Hopefal. But while the republicans are disposing of the future in this way, the Illinois dem- ocrats have by no means surrendered. They are emerging slowly, one by one, from last month’s wreck, and some of them believe it is possible for"®he party to pull itself to- gether in time to make a winning fight in 1896 in the sucker state. They are ambi- tious, even, to furnish the party at large with its presidential candidate next time. And the very scope of the program will insure a thorough arousing of the party spirit in the state from the northern line to theeOhio river. Col. Morrison's Popglarity. Rumblings are already heard of both the Morrison and the Stevenson presidential booms. The Star’s dispatch from Illinois the other day announcing that the friends of Col. Morrison at home were already moving in his behalf was read with inter- est in Washington, and, although pleas- antly “kissed off” by Col. Morrison him- self when interrogated on the point, is st! the subject of much comment in politic circles. Col. Morrison, though not in polit. ical office now, has a large number ot friends and admirers among the old line democrats, and there are men of in- fluence on the list who earnestly desire his nomination for President, and are sounding sentiment on the subject. They concede Mr. Stevenson's popularity and personal excellence, but they stoutly hold that if the democracy goes to Illinois for her national standard bearer next time, Col. Morrison should be selected. His par- ty leadership, they claim, antedates that of Mr. Stevenson, and is identified, they are fend of repeating, with the most thorough, though ineffectual, efforts ever put forth by the naticnal democracy in Conj to revise the tariff on revenue lines. is Tec= ord, they believe, would prove of great value to the party in the national contest approaching, and, coupled with Col. Mor- rison’s record as a soldier and citizen, weuld carry the day at the polls, The Claims of Mr. Stevenson. The friends of Mr. Stevenson, on the oth- er hand, are unable to see how the Vice President car be set aside for anybody if the democratic nomination is to go west in 1896. They do not confine their comparl- sons to llinols, but, pointing to the whole section on the other side of the Alleghentes, declare that on y account Mr, Btev fon is the stronge democrat to be-founs there. He is thought to be thoroughly representative of the west, both on the tariff amd the money questions, and his friends assert that he is not identified in any way with any of the policies of the administration upon which the people pass- ed adver t the polls last month. He ts carrying himself in his present office tirely to their satisfaction, and they noting at all times the shifting ‘and the meaning of all currents of presidential talk and manouvering. There is not, so far, at Jeast on the sur- face, any ill-feeling between the Morrison and the Stevenson forces, but the rivi is growing daily, and must become in sharp and spirited. If it escapes becoming more than that, it will be, it is thought, solely because of the admirable and friend- ly poise of the two leaders themselves. —__—_—+- + A Christmas Venture.
