Washington Letter.

(FRoM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT
June, 10th. 1884.
The Chicago convention excitement
of the past week was fatal to all at
tempts at important legislation in Con-
gress. Both Houses passed large num-
Der of uncontested bills, and then ran
simply upon routine business. The
attendance of Members was light in the
halls of the Senate, and House, for the
bulletin boards in the lobbies were the
objects to which attention was turned.
Senators and Members who attended
the National Convention held in Chica-
to, are all back again, and the work OF
the session proceeds. The only appro-
priation bills yet to be reported to the
Honse are the sundry Civil, and For
LITIGATION bills, and Chairman Randall
wants to get them in before the dead
lock contest between the two Houses
over the Naval and Post Office appro-
priation begins. 1t is thought the time
for adjournment will be regulated by
the duration of this fight. Mr.. Ran
dali, it is said, will not yield d point,
and unless the Senate yields early in
the contest an adjournment may not be
had until long after the date of the Dem
ocratic nominating convention.
President Arthur received the news
from Chicago with great composure,
though of course, it was blow to him
from which it cannot be expected the
pain has yet ceased. Secretaries Lin
coin, Chandler, Postmaster General
Gresham, and Senator Don Cameron,
who had been a guest at the White
House for seAeral days, were with him
when the decisive figures arrived.
Without awaiting for their complete
announcement he invited the company
to accompany him to to luncheon.
Later, he remarked that the news from
the convention had not taken him by
surprise Disappointment in politics be-
ing of such common occurrence, and so
easily discounted.
During the balloting the dark horse
Senators here were much unRerved by
suspense. Even now Senator Sherman
does not smile with the easy, half care
less manner of week ago.
Since his nomination for Vice Presl-
dent last Friday night, Senator Logan
has received about 800 congratu-
latory kilograms. He says more Of
them were from the West, than from
the East or South and many were from
persons he did not know.
At the Capitol he was congratulated
by both Democratic and Republican
Congressman. He will remain in
Washington until the adjournment Of
Congress, but has not decided where
he will make his head quarters after
that time.

An End to Bone Scraping.

Edward Shepherd, Of Harrisburg,
Ill.,, says: Having received so much
benefit from Electric Bitters, feel it

told me l would have to have the bone
scraped or leg amputated. used, in

The Republican Ticket.

At another place in this issue, we
give q full account of the fourth and
final days proceedings ofthe Republi-
can National Convention, which met in
Chicago and nominated candidates for
the offices Of President and Vice Presi-
dent We also give short sketch of
the lives of the two candidates.
We proved to be right in our Judge
ment, made up on Wednesday of last
week, as to the head of the ticket, but
missed it badly in naming Mr.. Lincoln
for second place, as his name has not
been mentioned for that office. This
however may readily be understood,
when we note The fact that Senator
Logan's first break for Blaine, entitled
him to some recognition at the hands OF
Blaine's friends; further than this,
Blaine and Logan have hitherto been
prominent representatives of the war
ling factions of the party and it must
be conceded as being good strategic
move to thus recognize and honor both
wings.
Blaine is q brilliant man, eloquent
and attractive; of a dashing, fervent ma
ture; an astute politician worth from
six to ten millions and as ambitious as
Cesar; one who has been able to render
himself popular by being sufficiently
far-seeing to correctly judge while
others doubted, the best step to secure
popular applause, but in point of prac-
teal craftsmanship, his party contains
many that are his superior; Senator
Sherman, and Senator Window in
finance; Ex-senator Conkling and Sen.
ator Edmunds in law, VIM. M. Everts
and Hamilton Fish in international
law may be named in support of this
view. His canvass for the nomination
was creditable one, in view of the fact
that it was the people against the Una
chine" and although Logan came to
him in the convention, he only did so
in time to keep some one else from do
ing the same thing, and had the entire
following Of no particular candidate
come to him, it would only have been a
question of several more ballots until by
individual votes, he would have secur-
ed the nomination; in a word, it was
not possible in the country before the
convention, nor in the convention, to
make any combinations to beat Blaine
this time.
Senator Logan, the choice Of the con-
yention for Vice President, as we have
said, was most a natural one, ;nasmuch
as his friendly act insured Blaine's
nomination; he had further in his in
terest, as we have said, the fact that his
friends hitherto, in the party, have not
been Blaine's friends and further, he
was a general in the Union army,was a
brave man and a good soldier and all
know, that both parties have consider.
ed it winning card to play, to "lead"
for the soldier vote.
This ticket gives promise of a cam
paign of feeling, enthusiasm and "hur-
rah," on the part of the republicans and
should the democracy succeed in nam
ing one that will equal it in stirring up
that party, the young Americans Of to-
day may have an opportunity ofjudge-
ing what their fathers experienced just
forty years ago.

The speech OF Senator EdmuHds as
chairman OF Republican mass meeting
ut Burlington contains some thoughts for
men OF all parties. Here, for example, is
asreat deal OF wisdom in very small CON-
pass: D,

zens-itis fundamental part OF our creed,
and none Of III can f,iil TO feel the great

ing at every aspect oil the public veal the
people of the state OF Vermont are again
to express their opinions of the princi-
pies, the mtthods and the purposes OF the
Democratic party. 1t has been wrong for
more than aquartcr OF i century, and |
fear will continue so Tor rs great 4 length
OF time to come. In tho recent periods,
when il has had control OF one or other OF
the two Houses OF Congress, it demonstrate
cd its uniitncss for government in respect
20 nearly all the important measures it
proposed or resisted, and every succeeding
year socmsto decorate it with new Jolly.
Senator Edmunds was set up by Mr..
Curtis ana his friends in the Chicago Con.
vention as their ideal statesman. They
regarded him as embodying the virtue
ands intelligence which fit man to be
President OF the United States They went
81 far in admiration OF Senator EdmunCs
that when they could not get him they
would have nobody in the Republican
purity, and they bolted. Ii We assume Mr..
Curtis and his friends to have been hone, t
in their exalted estimate OF Senator Ed
munds We must assume also that they now
regard him as highly as they ever did. II
he was rirtuous and'intclligcnt in June no
is not less 50 in August.
But Senator Etimunds does not bolt
with the boilers. He is not willing to
trust the Democratic party, to which tho
boilers have fled to find Il healing balm
for their much wounded highly sensitive
souls. He knows the Democratic party.
His arraisnment OF that organization,

Is none the less vigorous and affective. To

POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

The motto OF Cleveland and Hendricks
is: "a short horse is soon curried."

The New York World calls Ben Butle,
"an incorrisible political tramp" And
Yet Ben, created more commotion in the
Democratic convention than any man
in it. 4
There is really moro talk about the old
ticket in Democratic circles than there was
before the Chicago Convention. It can
not be shut oil nor smothered, and no.
body seems to know how to manage it.
General Logan very properly devoted d
considerable portion OF his speech last
night to the industrial questions OF the
campaign. Speaking to an audience largely
interested in trade and manufactures, he
made some telling arguments in favor OF
