Hayes Wants Harmony in His Party.

WASHINGTON Oct. 26.-The misunderstanding
existing in the m nds of certain Republican
Senators and memb" RS respecting the applira-
tion of the Presidents civil service order sim
ply result from their failure to call on the Presi-
dent and talk mat erS over.
The President Is easy of access especially to
members of O. ngress, and all bad feeling exist
ing on account of that order could have been
remedied long since. had the Congressman
thought it worth while to seek an exnlanation
from the President. Friends Of the Presid mt
claim that there is no excuse Tor any msunder-
ers. A, few hours consultation then would
settle all differences between them. The Presi-
dent will not be blamed If such conference Is
not had and perfect harmony restored in the
Republican party.

expected that the Mexican question would be

The report in many papArs that the Euglish

sidered here as absurd as ara many other stori IS
afoat from this city regarding the disposition
TO be made of this important positioa. The
truth Is the Administration has not yet been
able to decide upon a candidate. and probably
will not attempt to do so for some weeks. The
fact that Pierreponts res gnation does not take
effect until December l, assures ample time to
