Letter from Washington.

WASHINGTON, u. ", June ZOtn, 1910.
The first feeling of surprise and dlsappoint-
ment to friends of other candidates when Gov.
Hayes nomination first announced, has
given place to one of general satisfaction. Mr..
Blaine promptly telegraphed his congratula-
lions and his assurances of a cordial support to
his successful rival, as did likewise the other
aspirants for the nomination, which insures
united support of the ticket by their hundreds
of thousands of followers. Dispatches from
every section of the country which are being
constantly received by the Republican Nation
al Committee go to show that ticket more
generally satisfactory could hardly have been
put forward Liberal Republicans, Indepen
dents, and thousands of the more intelligent
members of the opposition, driven from their
party by the domination OF the rebel element
wherever the party has succeeded to power;
the base and cringing subserviency and abject
submission of all other factors of the organiza-
ton to the Ku KluX wing; its ready compli
ance with the behests of the clerical enemies of
our free school system and the perils threat
ened through the probable ascendency of the
reputation and initiation leaders, will, it is
claimed, give it hearty, sincere support. The
dismay of the chiefs of the opposition here, is
made apparent by the unanmity of their ap-
peals to the st. Louis Convention, begging that
every consideration, save only availa bility, be
disregarded by the delegates now assembling
in that Western town. The spiritless manner
of attacking the Cincinnati nominees and their
bewildered comments upon the platform, all
indicate the state of trepidation almost panic
II that the work done at Cincinnati has pro-
voked.
Soon after the nomination became known to
the public, Mr.. Blaine appeared on the streets
and smilngly acknowledged his gratitude for
the cordality of his reception by the crowds
which greeted him with rounds Of applause
and continuous cheering from thu time of his
h. H., ,f
his home on 18th street. The other candidates
for the nomination who were here, Messrs.
Bristow, Conkling and Morton, appeared no
more disturbed by their defeat, and they one.
and all expressed their gratitude to their friends
and advised forward movement of the whole
line against the common enemy. A monster
ratification meeting is to be held tonight in
the open air, at which all the defeated candi-.
dates named will appear aid give formal en- :,
dorsement of Gov. Hayes candidacy. -a
Mr.. Wheelers selection proves quite as
ceptable as Gen. Hayes Indeed, during the
two days preceding the final result no name
was so often mentioned as his. And the TEN
porary and permanent residents of the capital
city enter upon the work OF the campaign with
the feeling that the great and i'm portant States
of New York and Ohio are secured through the
wisdom of the nominating convention.
The military bill has been discussed by the
House but has not yet been passed. The statas
of all the appropriation bills is about the same
as at the last report There is no prospect of
an immediate agreement, aud the President re
garded the situation So serious as to call the
attention OF Congress to the detrimental effects
that would likely result from a failure to reach
an agreement. AS temporary expedient he
suggested that Congress authorize the Govern
ment to anticipate the appropriations till such
time as the House aud Senate could compro
mise the difficulty. The Democrats affected
great indignation and accused him of meddling
and attempts at coercion. Their equanimity
of mind was much disturbed by Republican
member calling their attention to the rule re-
quiring all appropriation bills to be reported
within thirty days from assembling, whereas
some are not yet reported after session of six
months.
Secretary Bristow's resignation excites no
surprise as it was known that he contemplated
doing SO immediately after the Cincinnati Con-
vention. LOGAN.
