OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., July 8, 1879.
If the Star is to be believed. Senator Conkling
has just discovered that Senator VIM. Window,
next to Grant, is the most available presiden-
isl candidate. Readers.of this correspondence
will remember that the same suggestion was
made herein some months. ago. He 10 Blaine's

kill Blaine. and OF both oil them to kill Sher-
man. don't believe Window is needed to kill
of any of those gentlemen. but he may still

senator. as q general soothing syrup. The party
could make many u worse nomination. His
private character is beyond renroach, and his
services at the head of the appropriation CON-
mittee and lsewher in the senate, have been
creditable. '-
The reform administration is carrying on its
raid upon the pockets OF its clerks and messen-
gers in the interest of radIcalism In Ohio, and
Indirectly for the benefit of Sherman as a presi-i

Secretary Sherman will leave here on Monday
for Maine, stopping on the way ut Boston to de

believe he will be heard from at Bangor before

here, is not over-anXious to have the state car
RED this fall, tor what reason l do not know,
and perhaps his apathy il the cause OF Senator
COnkling's willingness or eagerIess to do what
he can to carry it. The ways of politicians OF
the Blaine and Conkling stamp are mysterious.
No such serious charges Were ever before made
against the condition Of Il department as are
made by Senator H. Y. Davis and representa-
tive Glover against the treasury. The most sus-
picious circumstance connected with the affair
was the eager effort of the republicans to pre-
vent the Investigations which resulted in these
charges. Thousands OF business men in the
country are found to be deiaulters, and those in
the treasury department are probably ut least at

led in the senate by an ex-secretaryo of the treas.

Jefferson City Tribune The demo.
cratic party IN Missouri ieels the need
of union. harmony and concession. The
democratic party asks no questions
about the war. Its ranks are filled with
men who saw their duty in those days
from different standpoints, and made
personal sacrifices in attestation of their
convictions. They are banded together
to make war upon an enemy that has
declared in favor of measures danger
GUS to the liberties of the people, and
design to subvert them in the end, and
therefore every cause of distrust or the
appearance even of suspicion OF motives
OF s%elfishness within the party should
be removed, and confidence and good
faith be established on foundations
which cannot be shaken.
