Correspondence os The True Norherner.
By careful observation Of sentiment in
Washington. one is able TO form very accu-
rate idea OF the prevailing sentiment through
out the country concerning any political action
OF the party. The reason is that Washington
contains people from all sections of the coun-
try, and they being in constant communication
with their friends at home, are able to give the
home sentiment on any subject of national i'm
port. have talked with many from the North,
the South. the East and the West, and find
but one opinion concerning the nomination OF
General Garfield, and that is OF delight and con-
fidence of success. find that quiet confidence,
that serene hopefulness, that is the best assur-
ance Of success. In fact. al say it is the best
and beyond doubt the wsest nomination made
by the Republican party since Lincoln's times.
The very causes that operated 10 secure his
nomination prove to the satisfaction OF all that
the leaders Of our party have that wisdom and
desire Gor party success that leads them to rise
above personal preference, and the dangers OF
Sactional dispute, and combine to nominate the
man best fitted to secure success IN this Is
our tower OF strength as political organiza-
ton and the nomination Of Garfield is living
monument to those noble men who went to
Chicago girded for battle and each assured of
victory, but who, for the welfare OF their party
and their country, turned from the struggle
that would have resulted in defeat in Novem-
Der. and nominated General Garfield. Their
noble efsacrifce may not be appreciated nor
understood now but IN giving Us candidate
with whom victory is assured, the country owes
them debt Of gratitude that to be paid must
first be understood; and am afraid that will
not be until the heat Of this campaign is over,
and the country settles down in the reign OF
public prosperity that is to follow the Inaugural
ton OF General Garfield. SO much for our next
President. OF our candidate for vce-President
it can be said that his nomination assures us
the thirty-ive electoral votes OF the Empire
State
By the way, It Is stated here that Senators
Conkling and Cameron Will Immediately start
vigorous campaign OF their respective States in
the interest OF Garfield and Arthur.
June 10th is certain TO be the day Of adjourn
ment. All the appropriation bills are through
and are sent to the President with the excep
ton OF the general deficiency bill, and that can
be put through at any time.
or the general legislation before Congress
the Ute agreement bill, now before conference
committee, and the various Democratic election
bills, attract the most attention. The Ute bill
will go through without doubt but the Mar
shals' and Supervisors bills will be vetoed. The
President objects to having his constitutional
powers abridged, or to having those laws, the
operations OF which are to prevent fraud, multi
fed. II the Marshals are unprovided for, have
information that their salaries will be advanced
by public spirited citizens, of which there is
is abundance, until they can be reimbursed by
the incoming Republican Congress.
II is rumored here that the President is to
remove Commissioner OF internal Revenue
Raum for violations OF the Civil Service orders,
in connection with his recent visit to Illinois,
cannot vouch for the truth OF this. Let it 20
for what It is worth.
