jj| the democratic outlook. Hurcess in Election, ot 1904 Not to be Despaired ot. Washington, Dec. G.-"Straws show which way the wind blows," and the Democratic leaders are greatly encouraged by the developments in the political situation throughout tho country during the past few weeks. Not that thev denend on Republican disorganization for the victoay in 1004, but they recognize that the existing dissatisfaction affords them a splendid opportunity to get to gether, and, by presenting a united front, win a victory in the next Presidential election. The factional quarrel in Mary land gave Senator Gorman a chance to redeem the State, and he has restored it to the Democratic column, where it will undoubtedly remain for years to come. The partiality of Presi dent Roosevelt for the "colored brother" has solidified the South and undone all tho missionary work of the late President M< Kinley in that section President Ilosevelt has recently joined hands with Governor Odell to unhorse Senator Piatt, -lib .. .1. ih - l-ii... _ r? i uiuimi^ii uie mixer in ;i rinai effort to save himself, the day before the recent White House conference?at which ho was told to take a back seat?came out with the announcement that New York was solid for Uoosovelt and would go Republican in 1001. Apparently the Presi dent doubted Senator Piatt's sincerity, or questioned his ability to deliver the goods, and linked his fortune with those of Odell. As goes New York so will go New Jersey and probably Connecticut, in all three of which the Democratic prospects are growing brighter every day. The Republicans are now making all their calculation for 1901 without the votes of New York, New Jersey or Connect icut Indiana is doubtful, but Roosevelt's popularity in that State may pull him through, although it is well known that Qoil ? I i I^n i t*l\n n L*u nvunofn/1 t . .... inherit the mantlo of McKinloy in 100-1, and liis friends all feel that he would make a much more acceptable candidate, and, if elected, would fill the position much better than the present incumbent. Colorado, with its two Democratic Senators, is a promising candidate for tlio Democratic ranks. Idaho is debatable ground, and. with Senator Du bois making a fight for re election, is one of the strong Democratic possibilities. Although | Montana went Republican last year by a small phraiiiy, the Republican candidate for Ccn , gress failed to receive a major lty <?i all 111<? votes rasi, and, as j it 1ms two Democratic Senators, I nothing but Roosevelt's personal popularity in the West can pos- | sibly save the State to the Re publican,;party. The Republicans .are confronted with a perplexing problem in I tab. Ifj they unseat Senator Smoot, they will undoubtedly lose the State at the next election. At the same time, if they fail to respond favorably to the numer ous petitions now flooding the Senate chamber from all parts of the country, they thereby lay themselves liable to incur the political estrangement of tho petitioners The next electoral college will have -170 votes, and even tho most optimistic Republicans concede the followine States to the Democrats in 1004 : Ala bama, Arkansas, Florida, Oeor gia, Kentucky, Loui s i a n a, Maryland Mississippi, Missouri, Neva-la, North Carolina, South Oftrftlinft rr?rinftviaon Tovfm nn.l Virginia, with 1G2 electoral I < / votes in all, leaving a Republican majority of 152. More conservative Republicans realize that Roosevolt will be a very weak candidate in the East, and admit that New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Dele ware, with their 61 electoral votes are doubtful, with the chances favoring the Democrats who, with these Statos would have 223 electoral votes, or 16 loss than a majority. To secure tlipsn nrlrlifinnnl vntno tlinw lmtto ' the following States to draw from : Indiana, with 15 votes ; Colorado, 5; Idaho, 3; Utah, 3; Montana, 3; Washington, 5; Wyoming, 3; West Virginia, 7 and Nebraska 8, making a total of 52 votes, all within the range of Democratic possibilities at least. In fact a vetran politician remarked in discussing the outlook for Democratic success the other day, so it may well be said : "Many stranger things than this have happened often within my time. It may not be a walk away yet for tho Republicans in 1904." Good For Children.
