I remarked that spice Of HoustoniSm seems
to have been infused into the letters Of IN

some thing Of the same sort Is fshed out Of

Whereupon Mr. Browne decides that
Gen. Houston is the most available candi-

old heads If the party in Rhode Island,
especially Hon. B. B. Thurston on. c.
elect who he SAYS
"is our best counsellor lie has been IN politics

consistent with party success. Money IS me srfaf

Aha We have hitherto been somewhat
perplexed BY the repeated election of Mr..
Thurston to Congress froma strongly Wing
District. We now see through it. But
Mr.. Browne continues in the same key
Governor Allen Will. Think. without doubt, and
from what he has SAID TO work with the national
Democratic party. and for IL nominee n 1892. |

National Administration and Government. as 10

Good so, We think we can see how
Mr.. Philip Allen. the millionaire of Provi-

ernor of Rhode Island The milk in that
cocoanut Is plainly to be seen through the
class door which Mr. Browne has inserted
in the shell.
Hon. Wn,. r King would prefer North
ern candidate for President 50 that he be
thoroughly sound on the Slavery question.
Mr.. John 4. Eastman of Wise, intimates
that Gen. Dodge is the first and Cen HouS-
ton the second choice of that State. If
either of these should be nominated. long
canvass would be desirable with another
candidate, short one would be safer.
Finaily-'last scene of all this strange,
eventful history Mr. Texas Donaldson
writes from Philadelphia to Mr.. Iowa Greer
the following letter. which we pronounce
decidedly the most candid and interesting OF
the whole batch How it came to be pub
lshed Is a mystery. for this sortot letters Is
usually Considered too good to apPcarln print.
However, here We have II; 50 read and be
wiser This is clearly a genuine Produc-
tion-the others are moIe or less dressed up
for the public eve. Hear hear.
