WASHINGTON. SEPTEMBER &C. ISIS.
RESUMPTION is now fixed fact only
% days more and it will become u legal
fact.
WHAT has become oil the Hon" PoTTAH
and his committee? They were to have re-
assembled here in Washington before this,
is II possible that Buffers preoccupatiou
in his Gubernntorial canvass has deprived
the committee OF its only and accustomed
leadership?
The Democratic boilers in Massachusetts,
have nominated q straight-out Bourbon
ticket, with the venerable JOSIAH G. AB-
BoTT at It's head as their candidate for Gov
crnor. Their convention was harmonious
especially so in it's antipathy to Butlerism
in fact, the single and controlling influence
WAS opposition to BUTLER.
SAN RANDALL said he voted 70 turn
FITzHuGH out Of his Office because the
Doorkeeper stated in his letter that he was
"ou intimate terms with SAN RANDALL"
FITZHUGH says that, by birth and asSOc!a-
ton, he considers SAM his inferior; that he
would hesitate some time before he would
receive either RANDALLor Cox in his house
socially.
Mr.. KAHLo is the National candidate for
Congress in the Toledo, Ohio, district. Al
though he is the agent of the Atchison
Topeka, and santa Fe Railroad which Is a
land-grant road, he has been nominated by
the party which declares death to all land
grant and subsidized monopolies. But this
is as consistent Us the nomination Of re-
tired and wealthy banker by the Nationals
in another Ohio district.
SOME of the newspapers are making a
hullabaloo over the fact that DR. LINDCR-
MAN, Director, has been aiding the re-elec-
ton of Speaker RANDALL by giving him
control OF \ portion of the patronage OF the
Philadelphia mint. There is nothing new
in this, for it has always been the Doctors
crat, you see, and what he does is in the
interest OF cIvil-seryice reform.
EX-DooRKEEPER FTTZuUGH's exposure
Of Objector HoLMAS's duplicity in the
matter of the appointment Of One-legged
ex- Union soldier, has exalted him materially
In the estimation Of the general public. An
ex-COufederate soldier himself, he was
honest and brave enough not to become a
party to despicable intrigue Of which a
former honorable enemy was the intended
victim. He is most assuredly "a bigger man
Athau old HoLMAS."

cratic candidate for State Treasurer in Mas.
