w ASHISGTGN, Septem Der ., 1908.
Matters political, social, financial,
and Of every other characterize just at
this particular time very dull indeed. Sep
tember is generally, in this section, what
NAV be termed dull month"; time when
everything seems to be at rest, waiting for
what is to turn up about the beginning Of
October, when the fall elections, business,
and general activity, commence. The first
thing of Importance to turn up" about
now is the Maine election, on Monday next,
with regard to which all speculations seem
to have been concluded, and the actual re-
suits are being awaited. After that. the
September session, which probably will by
that time still remain undecided, claims
attention the Presidents pleasure trip
away from the circle of Washington
politics, and out of the range of practical
office cares, is also in the future, rs vel! ms
the, appointment of the supervisors the
suspension or retention of Commissioner
Rollins ; the return of General Grant; the
departure Of General Rosecrans for Mexico
the next campaign document In the shape
of public debt statement for this month !;
and a hundred other things, which have
had share of attention, and which have
heretofore become prominent items OF lnse-
rest, but which at present are talked ABOUT
very little. Some few things have become
apparent lately, which may not be alto
gether out Of the range of interesting mat
ter one of which is, that whether the IA
dical politicians have any real ground lor
iubilation over the Vermont election or no''
the truth is that since that occur
renee they have become much more
inspired with enthusiasm than before.
They claim Maine by extravagant figures,
but are at the same time las if not tho
roughly confident of gain in that State
giving them sufficient impetus to relax their
efforts little) making extensive plans and
arrangements for carrying Pennsylvania
in the State election there next month. The
monster" mass meeting of soldiers anu
sailors which is to be held in Philadelphia
bv the Radicals only day or two before
the election is part of the plan for carrying
that State. There is no doubt that 1t VIII
be preceded by mighty efforts, and boasts
are freely made that they will carry the
State. Prominent Democrats, however,
from there have no fears, and are confident
Of such gains in October as will cause the
greatest CONSERVATION among their oppo-
nents. ..-..
McCulloch and Rollins had another of
their daily interviews to-day, wherein much
was said and nothing done. They have
these interviews about daily, sometimes two
or three times day, but they have not yet
resulted in the appointment of any OF the
supervisors. 1t is known that the Commits
sioner wants Buckley removed from the
office of Solicitor of the Internal Revenue
Bureau; but as he will not give way to the
Secretary in the matter of appointments,
the latter will not yield to him in the mat
ter of removals. Some Of the papers, as
we'll as quite number of individuals,
think the proper way to get rid of this in-
ternal revenue muddle would be for Mr..
Rollins to resign; but it is very easy to
perceive that under the present condition OF
affairs he will do nothing of the kind ; and
any solution of the present difficulties are
ut least as far off as the session Of Congress.
