THE OLD PARTIES. Talk About a Reorganizaton of Them on New Lines. THE MATTHEWS SENTIMENT The Frlrncl at the Indiana Man Try to As certain thf Atttturi of l)iuoYrft i: Utive to 111 I an(Jilry fur the I'rmlilency. "n:c u.o, J"e L'S. -A special to the Record from Washington says: "The rt-markuble speech of Mr. t arter in the senate, taUin in connection with that of Secretary OirHslt; at the Manhat tan cluh in New York a few days a'o, has started a irood deal of talk about a reorganization of the old political parties and a division of the people upon new lines Uoth the republicans hnd the democrats seem almost hope lessly divided upon the same issue, and that the most important before the American people to-day. The parties are united upon every other. More than lia'f the democrats in con gress declare that they will not support the candidate to be nominated at Chicago unless he pledges himself to free coinage. A considerable portion of the republicans say the same concerning the candidate to 1 c nominated at St. Louis. Then why, it s asked, cannot those in both parties who think alike get together and name men who agree with thc.n? A great many people believe tlyit if discission and division con tinues much longer that will happen. Secretary Morton sug gested such an expectation upon his part in a newspaper interview not long ago, and there are those who claim to have heard the president predict a gen eral break up and reorganization be fore the end of this administration, but it is not likel that there will be any bolting from cither party until after the national conventionsare held and the platforms are adopted. 1 he Matthew St-ntimrnt. Indianai'oi.i.h, Ind., Feb. 2S. The friends of (Jov. Matthews have con ducted a systematic correspondence to ascertain the attitude of democrats of other states relative to his candidacy for the presidency. This correspond ence lias been with tho democratic leaders of every state in the union, and the result of it is believed to afford a fair index to the sentiment of the par ty. In the west and south the replies ure largely favorable to the governor, but the east is almost solidly against him on account of the uncertainty of his attitude on the money question. Some of the western leaders in their replies have said that if the governor would come out squarely for free coin age his following in these sections would be largely increased, and that if the silver idea dominates the con vention that his chances would be ex cellent for receiving the nomination. The silver people of this state have been bringing a strong pressure to bear on the governor to have him de clare for free silver, but should he do this, even if he subscribes to the doe trine, the chances are that the sound money men of the state would prevent his having a solid delegation in the Chicago convention.
