Washington Letter.


Special Correspondence of The 0nsKHrHR
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Nov. 1s, 1880.
Some time since the Post, Of
this city, and other Democratic
papers, argued against any pro-
vision being made at the COM
ing session of Congress, for the
payment of Supervisors and Dep
.uty Marshals employed at the
late election. Several Democrat
ic representatives who have been
heard from, however, say they
will vote for payment. Among
these is Hon. Alexander III. Ste
phens, now here. The Demo-
cratic majority is so small that
a very few votes, added to the
full Republican strength, viii be
sufficient. 1t is likely that those
Democrats who agree to this
payment, will act in such a way
as to make the "short session"
a very quiet one, and remove all
pretext for calling an extra SEES
sion in March. There is an ey-
ident disposition to meet Presi- |
dent Garfield half way in his ex-
pected policy of good will. Mr..
thinks that these cleo
ton officers are the last of their
kind that Congress will be CALI
ed upon to pay for. He has
great confidence in General Gar |
field, and believes his admins
tration will in the main be wor-
thy of support by conservative
men. ~.v
Although It is stated that the
General will attend only to his |
private business during his short |
stay here this Fall-he comes
early next week-it is believed
sevcralprominents southern DEM
ocrats, including Senator elect
Malone, of Virginia, have been
invited to meet him and will dol
so.
No one whom I have met du-
ring the past week, | may add,
believes that the coming admin
istration will be what can be
called a Radical Republican one.
There are some who expect that
pronounced Radicals will be
given all the Cabinet positions;
but even those who believe this
are comparatively few.
The news from Sitting Bull,
received at the War Department
last night, leaves little doubt of
the surrender of that trouble
some chief, and none whatever
of the ability of the military to
take care of him if he chooses
to fight.
There is just now a lively fight
over the unofficial Inauguration
ceremonies next March. A doz-
ell or SO of Radicals are attemp-
ting to turn the procession, the
ball, ETC., into machines for the
glorifcation of themselves and
of Radicalism, instead Of per-
hitting the citizens at large, as
usual, without respect to party
to make the arrangements. The
bother is likely to go on until it
disgusts everybody.
General Schofield is to be re-
moved from his position as COM
mandant at West Point, and
transferred elsewhere. His re-
port upon the Whitaker case
is the cause. It's said that Gen.
Schofield wrote this report be-
fore the October election with a
view of helping Gen. Hancock's
canvass, and when he found it
was not printed he desired to re-
call il. MCKAY.

VERMONT AND MAINE.

The state election in Vermont was
held on Tuesday, the 7th inst. As
there was no doubt that the Republi-
cans would carry the state by a large
majority the only question of interest
centering on the result was as to
whether or not the usual Republican
majority should be retained. The
Democratic press had admitted fer
some time that If the Republicans
should hold their own it would look
we'll for the party, and that if the ma
iority was increased or diminished
above or below 30, 900 it would increase
or diminish the prospects of the Re-
publican party. With this view of the
matter Republican majority of 25,-
600 which was given is "A favorable
omen.
In Maine the hopes of the Republi-
cans were not realized. While they
neither gained nor lost in their num-
Der of Congressman, and have secured
Lne Legislature, Which VIII ticto a
United States Senator. their Guherna-
torial candidate was defeated by ii
small majority by the combined
strength of all opposition. The Dem
ocrats have asst sted the Greenbackers
in the election of their Governor and
now the Greenbackers propose to run
an electoral ticket of their own in No.
vember. Should this be done and the
Democrats adhere to their own ticket
it will be fun for the Republicans and
a practical collapse of the opposition.
What the Republicans failed to secure
in Maine went to the Greenbackers
and hence the Democrats have no
special cause for rejoicing.

TIE more ultra Democratic papers
of the South cannot find language
sufficiently bitter to express their in

North and yet Northern Democratic
papers charge that the Republican

The fact that the Republican party
restored those unhung traitors of the

LOCAL POLITICS.

Though local politics are yet COM
paratively quiet, politicians are begin
ing to interest the people therein, and
aspirantS for official hOnors are coming
to the front. There appears to exist
quite Il prevalent sentiment favoring
the nomination of F. l.. ellison for the
Assembly and we doubt if there will
be any serious opposition to his nom
nation. For Sheriff, Albert Lord, OF
River Fails, is most prominently men
toned and we can safely assure our
readers that if chosen to fill this posi-
ton he will prove IN efficient officer;
G. F. Covell, of Prescott, we have also
heard suggested as a suitable candi-
date. We understand that j. B. Jen-
son, John Burnett and G. w. Cairns
are candidates for the office of County
Clerk. We presume that X. w. Lewis,
F. 3. White and J. j. Schulthess will
be candidates for reelection to the re-
spective offices which they now hold
and have not yet learned of any other
candidates for such offices. Hon. n.
P. Haugen has been talked of as can
didate for District Attorney, but it is
not known that he would accept a
nomination if rendered him, and Frank
Ross, of Prescott, has host of friends
who would like to see him an incum-
bent of this office. For Clerk Of the
Circuit Court and Coroner we know of
no candidates at present. The cam
paign is yet in its incipient stages and
there will doubtless be other candi-
dates than we have named for the va.
rious offices, before the convention
meets. Let all Republicans attend the
primaries and then stand by the ticket
nominated
