A WHITE HOUSE JOKE.

A good ''story" has been printed about
dinner at the White House, which alleges
that the President desired to confer with some
congressional friends about the District real
estate pool, but that his son accidentally in
vited Senator Salisbury, Democrat, instead
of Republican senator designated, and that
consequently there could be no confidential
interchange of opinions, This turns out to
be untrue, but another incident is said by the
Star to have actually, occurred which is al
most as good. That paper snys that s.the
President did invite number ef congressman
to meet Judge Taft, the new Secretary of
War, and that among those invited was Sem
ator Salisbury. The latter and other con-
grcssmcn came; but the joke of the matter
was that the President forgot to in rite Judge
Taft, who consequently was not present, aud
those present did not have the pleasure Of see
ing him

tFrcm the Herald Protean.l1

The general opinion of the result among
members and politicians generally tonight is
that the Tiden men, by not securing what
they had planned in the morning TO secure
namely, the 9th, and then aiterward the 18th
of April the day and Albany as the place
where the Convention should be held, rather
got the worst of the days proceedings The
vote of New FORK and Kings county, as we'll
as the frank statement of Mr. Kelly that he
was not in favor of the delegation from New
York State being pledged to Tilden or any
other man beforehand creates considerable
talk, and the general opinion is that it puts
end to the Governors chances of securing
the delegation from this State; that at all
events he will not get the New York city
delegates, and that fact alone makes the break
complete.
1t is asserted tonight that the Governor.
during the afternoon, sent an invitation to
several members of the committee, the Tam
many members among others, to dine with
him this evening. If so, the fact that the
Tammany members took the half past FIVE
train for New York, points political tale shat
no who runs may read.

THE HARPBR'SFER PROPERTY

A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun,
dated March Goth, says:
''On the ninth of this month the Attorney
General addressed letter to Senator Davis,
of West Virginia, stating that his desire was
to take any action relative to the Harpcr's
Ferry property which would meet the views
of the West Virginia delegation and be for
the interests of the government and the peo>
pie of Harper's Ferry. To-day Senator Davis
addressed letter in reply to the Attorney
General, which was also signed by his coll
league, Senator Caperton The request is
again made in the letter to the Attorney Gen
eral to dismiss the appeal now lying to the
Supreme Court from the decision of Judge
Jackson. The letter also calls attention to
, the immense water-power of Harpers Ferry.
and suggests in view of the immense amount
of paper consumed by the government, amount,
ing to over one million dollars last year, tina,
it would be expedient to establish great gov
eminent mills at that point to manufacture all
the various qualities of paper needed for gov
eminent purposes"

tFrom the Times Republican "

Nearly all the members of tho committee
and large number OF prominent Democrats
arrived here last night and this morning Mr.
Tilden sent cut a number of his trusted agents
to ascertain the general feeling as to when and
where the Convention should be held, and to
try to induce number of doubtful members
of the committee to embrace his views upon
the subject. Among the gentlemen con>
spicuousIy engaged in this service were Little
Eddie Agar, the Governors defeated candi>
date for State Treasurer; Col. Pelton, the
Governors nephew, and Henry Tilden. the
Governors brother Tho latter gentleman
devoted most of his attention TO John Kelly
and tho Tammany delegation. He accom-
panied the BOSS" to dinner, was with him
in his room, ard in every way in his power
tried to procure knowledge of how the New
York City men would vote in the melting
Dir. Kelly was exceedingly rcticeut, however,
and positively refused to state what action he
would take in the matter. From this and
other indications too plain to be mistaken, the
Ti!den party were forced to the conclusion
that they would not be able, without deter
mined struggle, to secure the fu!fllment of
their wishes.
1t the generally expressed opinion here to-
night that Mr.. Tilden has been badly beaten
in this, the opening fight of the canpaign.-
As an indication of how he is regarded bv. the
leaders at his party, it may be stated that he
this morning invited the members .? the COM
mittee to supper at his house, and most of
them refused, and 90 night there are ONLY one
or two of them in Albany.

1t is true that they now and then expressed
themselves as a little shaky about the Tam
many members, but on the whole they thought
MIR. Kelly would disappoint the hopes of the
Governors enemies by coming out fat footed
in favor of New York's favorite son." s. J.
T., for the Presidency But, alas ! what a
fall those too confident people have sustained.
The committee have been here aud they have
gone, and after not only deciding not to hold
the Convention at Albany and not to hold il
the first week of April. but after listening to
speech from John Kelly, which, in the
opinion of nine-tenths of the democrats here.
has blasted the prospects of -
"UNCLE SAMMY"
for all time to come. He told Tiden as plains
ly as words could tell it that he need not ex,
pect New York city to give him certificate
of good character at the Convention in return
for the way he has managed to keep republi>
cans in office there to suit his own purposes
and for the influence he brought to bear in
toisting upon Tanmany last fall policy that
drove thousands of democratic voters over to
the camp of the enemy.
The preceding comments are suggestive.
