NOW tnat inc nominating business has bee
finished in Ohio, the conflict between Congress
o. and the executive is again uppermost in poll
p tics, and the new Democratic programme, o
ZEE course OF action, agreed upon by the join
M congressional caucus comes up for anothe

is however, the intention Of the majority L
limit debate as much as possible, with view
D. to economize time and hasten the hour fol

To and desire to attend to long neglected home
AZ affairs have made Congress very impatient to

ID swamps of the Potomac, and perfected, as to
its malarial influences, by modern engineering
skill
The Democrats in caucus have accepted the
plan of action, proposed by their committee,
with an unanimity that has surprised them
selves, and every body seems to think that the
vexed question Of appropriations will soon be
settled, and that Congress will adjourn as soon
as the goth OF this month. $50 mote it be-

attire of Prince Albert coats, and pantaloons
bulged at the knee, look altogether too COM
mon IN linen coats and palm leaf fans. To
see Senator Don. Cameron in very short blue
jacket and Senator Booth in cheap, crumpled
light coat and Senator Maxey with red stock
ings, and nearly all the senators who wear
black frock coats enormously upholstered about
the shoulders makes one think that the classic
toga, in which Brutus and Cassus and Metelus
Amber concealed their daggers was not such
barbarous uniform after all.
Washington has never been duller than dur
Ing the extra session. Pennsylvania Avenue,
when compared with ts mid winter thronged
splendor, is deserted street. Even In the
afternoon, when the Departments pour fourth
their thousands Of pretty girls and Adonis like
male employees, the avenue is not cheerful.
The clerks make their way to their boarding
houses in the city suburbs and country. by
some other route. Streets, like bellies, have
their day, and the glory OF the avenue has
departed.
All the talk in political circles, last night,
was about the Ohio nominations. The Demo- ,
ciats, and especially those from Ohio. are ,
jubilant Even the Thurman men appear en- '
thusiastlc, although their favorite was slaugh-
tered. Congressman McMahon expressed the
general Democratic OPINION when he said that =
Ewing and Rice was the strongest combination
that could have been made. They argue in .
this WISE If Bishop had been nominated. it Y
would have been regarded as an entering wedge O
Tor Tilden, and hence unsavory to the Thurman 81
people. II Rice had received the first Mace IN Fl
the ticket 1t would have been Thurman vic CO
tory, and the Tiden crowd would have been d

Living was not pronounced partisan OF -
either Tilden or Thurman. and hence thew r
claim to have struck the happy medium and m
% have united all the factions by nominating We
aim and giving Rice place on the ticket They br
seem to believe also that after a little coouet IL
ing the Greenbackers will withdraw their ST
candidate from the field and leave the course 81
lear 'or race between Ewing and Rice and :"
'oster and Hickenlooper. They admit that 49,
ne ticket will bs a weak one in Hamilton %,

ccount OF the good war records of both
living and Rice th,
hepuDllcans, who are equally as we'll in eie
ormed about Ohio politics say that the ticket GU
Ill be easily beaten. If they had had the lug

one more easily knocked down. Ewing and o.
