WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Z
49, oo1

tArFHt e. ihE-..HHfh obhS tO, AOOAs Hts
Washington will become the sum-
mer holiday city of the Union. 1t is
at its best in June-on the 18th of
june, I think, this year. Its mar
rowest streets are IS feet in width,
and some of its avenues and wide
streets 160 feet. In all parts of the
city, except the business sections, a
portion of this great space on each
side of the streets is sodded, and in.
cluded practically in the space be-
longing to residences and churches.
Very many OF the thoroughfares r
paved and as smooth as a parlor floor.
Trees are plentiful in every diree-i
ton. All the streets run east or
west or north and south, while the
avenues ros them at.various angles,
leaving parks or reservations at the
points of intersection, all over the
city, Fountains are numerous. The
city is surrounded by hills, now cov-
cred with vepdure as is every inch Of
the city not given up to houses or to
travel. There is almost always a
breeze here, which, coming from any
direction, finds free course through
the wide streets and avenues. A
view from the dome of the Capitol,
OH such a summer day as this, shows
not only. all these beauties Of Wash
ington, but gives also the best pos
sible sight of the great public build
ings, from the Capitol itself to the
White House, two miles away. In
all these things Washington is supe
rior to any other city in the country,
and in other respects, as in the mat
ter Of elegant private residences, it
is rapidly gaining upon any other.
1t is an excellent thing to have the
Capital of ones country one that will
be visited more and more each year.
But this is not "news." The
weather and the surroundings do not
produce news. Even the politicians
are quiet, and enjoy the season.. In
New York and New Hampshire, fur
Their north, the Republicans are fight
ing each other vigorously, and il
Virginia, further south, they are ask
ing themselves whether or not they
shall permit themselves TO be sole
out for a price. If they could enjoy
these June days in Washington, thu
Yew Workers would not bride anc
Islander each other, the New Hamp
shire Radicals would not be led by
that little pest, William E. Chand
Ter, and the Virginia Republican
would shudder at the thought of al
alliance with that other petty dema
gogue, Malone. .nal Ef7-is

The resolutions passed by the Re
publicans at their Cleveland Cunven-
ton, are intended to catch suckers.
We would be glad to have some Re-
publican explain to US what is meant
by the readoption of "those princi-
Piles ard policy ofthe party as shown
in its history" Does it mean the
stealing under Grant; the theft of
the Presidency for Hayes and the
Star route frauds under his admins
tration, the means employed to carry
Indiana and New York for Garfield,
or the course of the last Ohio Legis-
~lature; or, does it mean all of them
together? Will some n versed in
the history of the Republican party,
please. rise and explain? Perhaps
some temperance man will undertake
the task.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

There is a talk that Grant will be
elected Senator from New York as a
compromise between the Stalwarts
ana Half Breeds. 1t is hard to see
what anybody would gain by such
an event. Certainly, since Grant has
identified himself with tue Conklinp
side in this fight, and takes precise.
ly the same view of the administra-
tion's acts that Conkling took, the
administration would profit nothing.
Grant would be as much its enemy
as Conkling, but perhaps not so
formidable. The State of New York
would gain nothing. A wooden man
would represent the State as well as
Grant.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

The New, York Commercial Ad-
as it reads thesigns.of the
impending Stalwart defeat, wakes
tragic, and says: "The defeat of
Conkling and Platt will be a great
thing for Blaine and the Tribune,
but they won't gain half as much by
it as the Democrats. However, they
would rather have the Democrats
win than forego hepleasure of tread
ing on the men who saved New York
and elected the last Republican
President of the United States we
shall ever see."
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

Parson Talmage Numbered from
his pulpit last Sabbath against leg
islative corruption, and declared that
the country was disgraced by such
scenes as have been of daily occur
renee at Albany. He is of the opin-
ion that m%onopolies are at the bot
tom of all the trouble and says that
there win be a revolution some of
these times. Mr.. Talmage may have
his vagaries, but his head is level on
this subject.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

Judge E. F. BINGHAM, of Colum-
bus, will be presented to the State
Democratic Convention rs a candi-
date for Supreme Judge. No better
selection could be made, He Is in
the prime of life, one of the best law
yers in the State, possesses in the
highest degree the, judicial tempera'
ment, and is looked upon by the bar
as without a superior on the Com.
mon Pleas Bench.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

The struggle between the two fac
tions of the Republican party. is not
for principles but for t'spoilso and
plumber, for the control Of q party
which has outlived its sense on con-
stitutionar Responsibility, and has be
come UNANIMOUSLY corrupt. 1t is to
be hoped that in due course of time
the people will determine to bury
both factions in a common grave and
return to an honest government.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

The Republican party of Preble
county is a very ungrateful party,
else it could never have ignored the
appeals" of Jour neighbor ofthe Reg
lister for the Probate Judge "posish.''
IT'S sad.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

Power and plumber have brought
the leaders of the Republican party
into an irreconcilable antagonism,
which can have but one end, and
that is the speedy downfall of their
party. The people will not regret
the inglorious defeat of a party that
is so unworthy of public confidence.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

The taxpayers of this county
should have a Commissioner from
Eaton. 1t is to their interests. Let
the Democrats select a good, live, lib
eral business man from Eaton, and
he will go through with a whirl.

Billy Aker was "left" as usual.
Like our neighbor of the Register,

Some of the Star-Route thieves

The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-06-23

Sooner orlater the people will turn
to the Democratic party as the hope
of the nation. The principles ofthe
party are as old as the government,
and will live forever. AS long as the
government exists as a republic the
Democratic party will rally for the
maintenance Of free constitutional
government-for honesty in the ad-
ministration of public affairs, and
for the preservation of the Union of
the States, as the only government
known to the constitution. It is the
party which means the greatest num-
Der, which believes in the constitu-
ton as the supreme law of the land,
in preserving a Republican form of
government, and in obeying the will
of the people when legally and freely
expressed at the ballot boxes. The
people may falter, be deceived, brib-
ed or betrayed, but in the end they
will return to the fold from which
they have strayed, unless they be en-
shaved.

A Republican member of the New

Presidential titles in 1876.

not deliver it. If the story is true it
is plain that he was dissuaded against
his better convictions. The result
of it was that Hayes vas allowed to
take his seat and the party has been
disgraced with scandals, the depth
of which has not yet been sounded.

The unseemly strife between the
factions of the Republican party has
disclosed the disreputable methods
by which the Democracy were de-
feated in the late presidential can
vass 1t has also served to convince
moderate men of all parties that the
safety of the country, its prosperity
and its good name, can be conserved
only through the future of
the Democratic party. The dishon-
orable bargains entered into by Gen.
Garfield to secure his election, and
since broken, were scandalous in the
extreme. They show that all virtue,
truth and patriotism have departed
from the Republican leaders, and
that the nation is yet in the hands
