Window banner, but it is equally

They will, however, if they fol.

to vote for neither Grant or Blaine,
as both Of these men will be with.
drawn in the event Of a general
breakup. The delegates were elect

Window, and Gov. Yale stated to
the convention that they hadIno sec

Window as they were instructed to

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, DC, May 18th, 1880.
The politicians are making ex.
tcnsive preparations for excursions
to the Chicago Convention. Several
special trains leave here for Chicago
direct, and hundreds will avail them
selves of reduced rates. It is estl.
mated that twenty thousand people
will go to Chicago, and that the ga
thering will be larger and more in
teresting than any gathering of the
kind ever known in this country.
The Democratic seat stealers in
the Senate have given up IN disgust.
Senators, Hampton, Butler, Pendle..
ton and Bayard are outspoken in
their opposition to the outrage. and
the first four named have made
speeches against it. So it is finally
settled that Kellogg will keep his
seat.
It has been decided to appoint Elk.
Sergeant-at Arms Orway as Cover
nor of Dakota. This is undoubtedly
| a good SelectlOn.
Postmaster James of New York
has announced that he will not be
candidate for the Postmaster Gener-
alship. He is too much attached to
his friends in New York to leave
them.
More Indian troubles are feared
at headquarters here. Troops will
be pretty active during the next
month or so, moving to exposed
points.
Representative Republicans of
Texas now here say that their PEG.
pie at home are going to present
the name of Ex.G Governor Davis of
that State for Vice President,
Governor Davis is an able and wor.
thy man, and he did a good deal for
Texas when he was its Governor.
It would be a singular circumstance
if the candidate for President should
come from the extreme Northeastern
State and for Vice President from
! the extreme Southwestern State
Blaine and Davis which is the
Texas Ticket.
The Senators show a disposition
to agree with the House in the effort
for an early adjournment probably
on or about the 31st of this month.
There is great amount of hurry
and little talk among members who
hope to get away at that time.
Some of the Southern malcontents,
however, are determined to block the
wheels if possible, for they desire to
continue in session so as to manu-.
facture notriety for themselves.
Probably both Houes will now stick
pretty closely TO the appropriation
bills and finish them as quickly as
possible. Two weeks of good steady
work will see them enacted, if the
fire. eaters can be kept in check and
not interpose any political legisla-
ton to hinder. The Democrats are
especially anxious to get away, at
least the moderate ones are.

aid, anti Grant, gives up the fight,
and in an editorial says that Grant
is to be the Republican candidate.
The same correspondent also says
that this feeling is gaining ground
in Washington, daily. Senator
Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who is in
correspondence with many of the
delegates and knows what they are
going to do, and ex-Postmaster Gen.
eral Creswell have been figuring out
the result and predict that Grant
will have 40 votes on the first bal
lot. AS it takes but 379 to nominate,
Grant would have a majority of 80.
