Washington, Feb. IS. The meeting of
the Democratic, state committee of
Pennsylvania at llarrisburg on Wed
nesday, and the launching of ex-CJover-nor
Pattlson's presidential boom there
at, caused some comment among Dem
ocratic politicians here. The friends of
President Cleveland are inclined to re
gard the action of Boss Harrlty and his
machine as a trifle presumptous. If not
ungrateful. If Mr. Cleveland is not a
candidate himself. It is but natural
that he should want to have at least
some say In the selection of his succes
sor If for no other reason than to have
his administration endorsed. There Is
Plenty of good presidential timber in
the president's otlicial household, anil
Just why Mr. Harrlty. who distributed
nil of President Cleveland's loaves ami
fishes In Pennsylvania, should now de
sert him has caused the latter's friends
some little surprise. If not disappoint
ment. Burely. President Cleveland de
served better treatment from Mr. Har
rlty. The office holders who have aid
ed and abetted Mr. Harrlty in his Ignor
ing of the president may come to grief.
These creatures of Haiti I y may b
called uiMin to account for their rash
ness. President Cleveland has a keen ap
preciation of the Importance of a dele
gation as large as that which Pennsyl
vania will send to the next national
convention. He believes that he is en
titled to some consideration at the
hands of the Democracy of this country,
nnd especially by those whom he has
favored with patronage. To be turned
down. Ignored, squelched by a niun
whose lease of power In the state bus
been extended, if not perpetuated, by
him. must, indeed, he humiliating to
Mr. Cleveland. The president has his
own views about the nomination. If
he doesn't want It himself he contends
that he Is entitled to the endorsement
which was accorded to those great two
term Democratic presidents Jefferson.
Madison. Monroe and Jackson re
ceived from their party the nomina
tion of some one consoh-uously Identi
fied with the policy of his administra
tion. President Cleveland tins In his
cabinet Mr. Carlisle.. Mr. Wilson and
Mr. Olney, distinguished Democratic
statesmen, his trusted associates. th
great leaders for currency reform, tar
iff reform ami the unquestionable and
universally popular foreign policy of
the administration.
lirovcr I'cels the Snub.
Mr. Harrlty evidently proposes to Ig
nore the president anl his associates
in the selection of a candidate at the
coming Chicago convention. If he In
for Paftlson he Is certainly not for
either Carlisle, Wilson. Olney or any
other Democrat identified with the
Cleveland administration. He pro
poses to enforce his pernicious and un
fair unit rule to carry out his pro
gramme. His cry will be that gover
nor I'attison Is a favorite son. It Is
true, I'attison Is a favorite son, but
Isn't be Buss Harrlty's favorite son?
Didn't he obey Hoss Harrlty during his
four years as governor? Did Patlison
ever do anything while governor of the
great state of Pennsylvania without
first consulting the wishes of his mas
ter. Mr. llurrity? I'miuesthmably. not.
With the ex-governor In the white
house Boss Harrity would be the presi
dent as he was the governor during Mr.
Paulson's incumbency of that high of
fice. He would rule supreme, anil Dem
ocrats who ptosed this arraut boss
In the past would stund no more show
of getting an office than a cainel has of
passing through the eye of a needle.
It would be Hoss Harrlty's Philadelphia
machine against the country. The
country Democrats would he persona
non grata at Mr. Harrlty's pie counter.
They would have to go hungry ss they
are doing now.
Icfcnt the I nit Knlc.
Tn the opinion of administration Dem
ocrats herp, the only way to clip the
claws of Boss Harrlty is to defeat his
un-American unit rule. Then all good
Democrats will have an eriuo! show.
They will be their own masters. As
matters now stand, the country dele
gates have no say In party manage
ment. They are overpowered by th
Philadelphia machine of which Mr.
Harrlty Is sole owner. He boasts of
his power, and Is not slow In using it
against any man who dares oppose
him.
I had a talk with an olliclp.l under
President Cleveland today on the sub
ject of ex-Oovernor Paulson's candi
dacy for the presidency. He said: "It
Is quite a compliment to any man to
have the votes of his state delegation
for president, and I presume Pennsyl
vania will Rive its vote 'to governor
Pattison. That, however, will be about
all the good It will do him. Do you
suppose the Democratic party Is going
to nominate a man from Pennsylvania
with a quarter of a million majority
in the state against him? Well." he
contlnyed, makes very little differ
ence who is nominated by the Dem
ocracy thlsyear. In my opinion the
next president will not be a Democrat."

HOUSE FOR SOUND MONEY.'
Kefnses by Overwhelming Vote to As sept
the Senate Hill.
Washington. Feb. IS. After nearly
two weeks of almost continuous debate
the house this afternoon, in committee
of the whole, by a vote or 10 to 80. rec
ommended to the house non-concurrence
In the senate free coinage amend
ment to the house bill providing addi
tional revenue. As nearly as could be
judged, about half of the Democratic
members voted against the senate sub
stitute and the Kepuhllcan vote in
favor of It was about .10. The exact
figures, however, will be known tomor
row, when the roll will be called for a
yea and nay.vote on the committee rec
ommendation. ,
The foHewing proposed amendments
were lost by the votes stated: By Mr.
Long Kep.. Kan.) to coin the product
of the mines of the Vnlted States only
HS to 41. By Mr. Brumin Kep., Pa.)
providing that whenever the commer
cial ratio of the two metals shall vary
from the coinage ratio the seigniorage
shall be retained by the government
Si to 30. By Mr. Towne (Rep., Minn.)
committing the t'nlted States to the
free coinage of Bilver at the ratio of 15',i
to 1 whenever Germany and France
open their mints for the same purpose
146 to 62.
Mr. Dingley, chairman of the commit
tee on ways and means, announced that
tomorrow Mr. Crisp would speak in
favor of concurring In the senate
amendment; members of the ways and
means committee opposed to that ac
tion would reply, then he should ask a
vote upon the recommendation of the
committee of the whole. - ,
The senate refused by a vote of 19 to
"I to take up the house tariff bill, with
the free coinage subltitute; ami that
measure combines to remain on the vice
president's tabic. The motion had the
support of none but Kepuhlicans and
the Democrats voting solidly against It,
together with four Populists, Messrs.
Allen, of Nebraska: Butler, of North
Carolina: Jones of Nevada, and Pfeffer,
of Kansas: and three Itopubllcans,
Messrs. Carter, of Montana. Dubois, of
Idaho, and Teller, of Colorado.
The urgent deficiency bill carrying
appropriations to the amount of about
S6.000.tMMt was passed: and the military
appropriation bill was taken up nnd Is
now unfinished business. The resolu
tion of Mr. Allen (Pop., Neh.) calling on
the Interior department for a great
mass of Information touching the past
history and present status of the I'nlon
Pacific Baih-oad company, gave rise to
some discussion and will be eventually
modified so as to Instruct the Pacific
Itailroad company to furnish the In
formation, ami that committee was also
authorised to examine the' witnesses
who come before it under oath that
condition being insisted upon by Mr.
Morgan (Dcin.. Ala.), a member of the
committee, who referred to Mr. Hiint
ingtonbynameusone whose statements
he desired to have made under the
sanctity of an oath. At another stage
of the proceedings the Pacific railroad
problem came up, Mr. Pettlgrew (Hep.,
S. D.) making a violent speech against
the reorganization committee and its
plan.
The resolutions on the subject of
Cuba were taken up under an agree
ment made a few days previously, but
Mr. Call (Dem., Flu.), who had them
In charge, consented to let them go
over for the day. At 5.10 the senate
adjourned until Monday.
Opposed to New States.
Delegate Cutron. of New Mexico,
made un argument before the senate
committee on territories this morning
favoring the admission of Xew Mexico
as u states. The committee hns not
yet taken up these statehood bills for
serious discussion, but the expressions
made In the committee room are such
as to Indicate that the majority of the
committee Is opposed to admission to
any iidldtlonal states at this time. The
senators believe that none of the terri
tories now seeking admission have
reached a stage that congress would be
justified In permitting them to ussume
sovereign powers. Behind all of this
Is also a feeling that it would be a
power of advocates for the five coinage
of silver, the members of the committee
believing that the senators who would
represent these new states would be for
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
This phase of the case has never been
openly discussed In committee but it
Is supposed to lie the most potent argu
ment against a further admission of
territories.
The house fore.lrrn affairs committee
gave no consideration to Cuban mat
ters at their meeting today. Only a
brief part of the correspondence sent to
the house on Tuesday has been printed
and neither the sub-committee nor the
full committee will act upon it until It
shall have been thoroughly read and
considered.

PRESIDENTIAL BOOMLETS
Senator ()nuv ItcncKs the Assertion
That He's a Candidate.
OTHEK INTERESTING MOVES
Cullom and the Vice-Presidency Mc
kinley's Provision for the I nccrtaln
tics of Politlcs-Fx-Uovernor Camp
bell F.nters the Democratic List.
Washington, Dec. 13. Senator Quay,
whose candidacy for the presidency
was announced this morning, today
received a great many telegrams and
letters from friends in various parts
of the country. "The report sent out
last evening." said the senator, "is ac
curate In every particular. I have con
sented to permit my name to be used
at the St. Louis convention. My
friends have urged me to become a
candidate and I have consented."
The cullom liooin.
The fact that Senator Cullom has ex
pressed his willingness to have his
name presented at the St. Louis con
vention hits served to further compli
cate the labors of the men who have
allied themselves with other booms.
When Cullom was first mentioned lit
tle attention was paid to the "boom
let." An important bearing of his can
didacy upon the Iteed campaign, how
ever, has since developed. The senti
ment of Illinois was naturully favor
able to McKlnley. especially under the
lend of Mr. Kohlsaat und his great
newspapers. The switching off of this
support from Ohio's favorite son to Cul
lom Is believed to be an entering wedge
for throwing the delegation to the man
from Maine. Cullom hardly imagines
that he Is really a national figure of
presidential size, but jils friends hope
that by having at their disposal the
vote In convention of the third state
of the L'nion they will be able to make
some valuuble alllunces. With Iteed at
the head of the ticket, Cullom would be
geographically suited for the vice
presidential nomination, and his
friends have made no secret of his will
ingness to accent this honor.
In Case .Mchinle) Loses.
Columbus. ()., Feb. If confidence
may be placed In the statement of a
shrewd politician who Is willing to talk,
but who does not wish to see his name
In print, the friends of ex-Uovernor
McKlnley ha vebeendolng some hedging
on the presidential question, und plan
ning to save something out of the
wreck, even If their candidate should
he defeated at St. Louis or at the polls.
The arrangement Is' to support McKln
ley solidly at the national convention,
to which the Foraker people agreed.
Then, If McKlnley Is nominated and
elected, or. If he is not nominated and
some other Republican being elected
he gets a place In the cabinet. Gover
nor Bushnell Is to be mude Sherman's
successor, to which the McKlnley peo
ple agreed. But If McKlnley loses the
nomination, or after getting It is de
feated at the polls, then he Is to be
elected to the senate if a Kepuhllcan
majority in the legislature can be se
cured. A Democratic Boom for Campbell.
There Is no longer doubt that a con
certed effort will be made to make ex
Governor Campbell the next Democrat
tic presidential nominee, an event'
which was considered probable before
the last election, but which was sup
posed to have been made impossible by
the governor's overwhelming defeat
last fall. A Democratic member of the
legislature, who Is a close personal
friend of Mr. Campbell, and who al
ways has been his ardent supporter,
talked at length about the situation the
other duy. From him it Is learned that
an organization of ex-uovernor Camp
bell's friends has been formed for the
purpose of securing a solid delegation
for him from Ohio, and incidentally to
create and encourage sentiment for
him everywhere.
The Quay Bonin in Gotham.
New York, Feb. IS. The announce
ment of Senator Quay's cundidacy for
the presidency is not taken seriously
here by politicians, but it Is suspected
that his entry Into the presidential race
is for a purpose and in the interest of
another candidate, presumably Heed.
