Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON. Oct. -.


Mr.. EDITOR
This is about the way things look to me.
The various speculations about the forma-
ton of a new Cabinet by the President,
are for the most part, without doubt, of not
much reliability. The stalwartS. undoubi
edly, as is asserted. want to get rid of
Blaine, and Arthur to accommodate his
stalwart friends wants to get Blaine out of
the Cabinet. But Blaine Is 80 strong with
the country and his party as to make 1t peril
Gus to move rashly IN the matter: Conk
ling and Grant hate Blaine. but fear his
strength will be increased II he is rudely
thrown from the Cabinet Blaine does not
desire place in the Cabinet, but il Is said
he does not propose of his own accord to
retire, preterrIng to leave it to Arthur to
dismiss him. But Arthur under sialwart
coaching. prefers to be on terms of good
fellowship with the Secretary Of State. lest
any violent mo, emeni upon his works may
add to his power As a competitor for the
Presidency IN 1854. The position of Blaine
is one Of delicacy. and that of Arthur one
Of embarrassment. The latter is willing to
wound and yet afraid to strike. Blame Is
the strongest man to-day in the Republican
party for the next Presidency, and his stall
wart enemies, the foes Of the lamented Gar
field know II. Hence their cautious and
embarrassed movements in regard to him
But Garfield Republicans feel that no man
Is more worthy To take the mantle Of their
fallen chief than James &. Blaine.
Yours truly.

The result of the elections, so far as
dispatches indicate up to the time of going
TO press. ID still in doubt in most of the
States. The sictory in Brooklyn. \. Y,
has been won apparently by the kepubli-
cans, who, in the election of Hon. Seth
Los for mayor. have secured the services Of
an honorable, high minded gentleman at the
head Of their municipal affairs. The cleo
ton of Mr. Rollins to the Office of surro-
gate of New York city, assures another
most excellent Official in that responsible
position The Republican majority in the
New Jersey Legislature assures Republi-
can United States Senator 10 succeed Sena-
tor Mcpherson, Democrat, whose term

and many more will be found when the
complete returns are in, are strong indica-
tons of the growing strength Of the Re
publican party IN this country.

Of the whole system. Disease Of various
kinds is often only the sign that nature is
trying to remove the disturbing cause. A
remedy that gives life and vigor to the
blood, eradicates scrofula and other impuri-

venting many diseases that would occur
