CAPITAL CHAT ON IMPORTANT
TOPICS.
Contesting Elections Social Gossip
NandalIs Plans-Congressiona,
Gossip About Blaine and Arthur.

WAsHiNGroN, d. c., February a.
There has been good DIAL of quiet gossip
INDUCED IN over the fact that Pres
ldenl Arthur was d specially hon Ored guest
a. The marriage Of the daughter Of oX-sec-
rearo Blaine, and the additional fact that
4lr. E,lIne was, Il few hours later, an hon
orcd guest at the reception Mt the White
House. Another curious incident In this
connection Is that Walter Blaine, sou Of
James g., took dinner at the Presidents
last sunday evening. At least caller at
Mr.. BIa'ne's residence on sunday evening,
on inpuirlug for Mr.. Walker Blaine, was
Informed that he was at the President 5 at
dinner. Does II mean that Blaine and
Arthur have buried the Ratchet; There Is
ayariety OF opinions on this subject. A
well-informed gentleman here, who By
tkl way is closely allied with one Of Mr..
Bis.rs'swssm friends nna supporters, said
frankly, In speaking OF this subject re-
Gently, that he believed Il
g he simply q part Of
Blalne's way OF making all he can ont Of
everything that comes TO hisshand. Blaine
Il shrewd enough, he said TO see that
there is no use IN his trying 70 make any
thing for himself out OF this Administration
except by indirection, and be is using II for
all Il IL worth IN the why OF getting favors
for his friends. hear that he gets nearly
everything he asks for, too AT least Mr..
Blaine's happy faculty OF making the best
OF everything that comes to his hand has
served him to good purpose in accumulat-
Ing a fortune. His residence " certainly
magnificent, and the assertion that II Is the
handsomest In the city, while II does not do
injustice to the facts, means great deal,
for there certainly are some very handsome
homes here and some that have cost an i'm
mense sum Of money. Speaking, too, OF
the Blaine home, It may not be improper
10 remark that the stories sent out from
here that the marriage of Miss Blaine to
gentleman more than double her own age
was opposed by her father, are untrue. Mr..
Blaine himself authorizes the denial Of such
statements.

The TariH.

WASHINGTON, Febyvsrv Two facts
are making rtemselva apparent In regard
70 the tariff bills In Congress- First, that
there Is little hope that either Of them will
pass, and second, that the Democrats will
really regret the failure TO enact some legis.
ladon on this subject more than the Repub-
llcans. II is true tho the Democrats have
opposed the bill In It's various features all
the way through, and that their delay has
lessened the chances Of the bills, but now
that they begin to see tha,there is not much
prospect Of their passage, they begin to
want them TO pass. On the whole, II APP
pears that there Is not more real regret
among Democrats at the prospect Of non.
passage Of the bill than among the Republl.
cans, many OF whom are pretty well sltiS-
fed with the preseS safe of the tariff. and
half Of whom vet hope to be able 10 force

Officers of the Next Honse.

WASHINGTON, February l2.-Congress-
man Clark, of Missouri, who has many
friends here, continues firm in the belief
that he Is the coming man for Clerk Of the
next House. Csrk's friends all hope that
he will win the race, butt is just as well TO
be frank In regard to the matter and say
the Randall combination are not brilliant.
Randall's organization Of his campaign Is
superb. His candidate for Clerk Of the
House Is Atkins who commands the respect
OF every man In the House, and controls O
large vote In the South. He has been
long time prominent In Congress;was Chair
man OF the Appropriation Committee In
the Forty-siXth Congress is all active
member Of the committee now, and there
Is no doubt that he would make very CT
ficient clerk, and more than that, that he
would control a very large vote. Thomp-
s0n-John G.-has the regard OF nearly
every man on the Democratic side Of the
House, no matter what Is said TO the con-
trarv, and though Leed0m has many warm
friends and some supporters, there Is little
doubt but that ThOmpson's pole will knock
the persimmons when they are ripe, unless
the situation changes. Regarding the
Speakership there Is no doubt that Ran
da's organization is superior to that OF
his opponents, and with the fight between
Blackburn and Carlisle weakening the
forces Of those opposing him, the claims Of
his friends that he Is practically sure Of
election, though rather wild, are not more
10 than the assertion that other candidates
have prospects as good as those Of Randall.
