Letter from Washington.
correspondence of the Democratic Advocate


| don't see why so many people flock to
Washin tton of course the office seekers have
some excuse for coming because every one of
them expects to make it pay, but they form
only very small part of the thousands who
throng The avenues. Every phase of life is
represented, every avocation and invocation.
The oils tongued politician, the country gen
teman of wealth and fashion, the city dude,
the lovesick bridal couple, the friend OF Sen
ator Dlworthy," the ever restless Bohemian
of the Higher order, the tramp and the young
man from the country, pass and repass III endless
endlessness. The average Office seeker seems
to have no definite place in view and dis
cusses his chance with great cheerfulness from
the ''ppsish' of one of the cabinet to that of
q letter. carrier, though his vivacity descends
in each succeeding scale going down grade.
Tha lksgiving was generally observed here
by the many thousands in nearly as many
different ways. Many offering up thanks;
many others ttrolciRg them up.
Many gave thanks from an humble board,
Many gave less from their countless hoard
Many sang psalms many gave aims.
And many gave thanks for their halfhlled palms
Many prayed OIL their Bonded knees
Quite as many preyed on crackers and cheese.
Bot the day has gone the night has come.
And the moon smiles the same on every one.
1t is rnmored that many of the Department
clerks are SO indignant at Cleveland's cleo
ton that they threaten to resign; they will
postpone doing so probably until March 9th,
$50.
The District fire brigade paraded Thanks
giving Day and was reviewed by the President
from the White House balcony.
Nowhere perhaps in the country the
result of the election greater surprise,
certainly nowhere more disagreeble one,
thansin Washington.
MA BIaines move to Washington has
created some little surprise, in view of his de-
feat.
There is no news-nothing going on or
coming off. BLIMLEY.

Lot Wright, United States marshal of South
ern Ohio, who worked the deputy marshal
business in Cincinnati and elsewhere in his
district in the interest of the Republican party,
is to have his conduct investigated by Con
gress, resolution to that effect having been
passed by the House on Tuesday. His cor
rupt partisanship was shameless, 1t is said,
and aided materially in holding the state for
the Republicans in October.

Congress met on Monday last, and the Presi-

German in 1887 meaning he is to be re-
