His Agitation Shared by His supporters
in WashingtOn-ChandI VeXed
These are wild times in Washington,
says a correspondent Of the New York
San. In temperament, Mr.. Blaine is
highly nervous and eXcitable. People
here remember his haggard and excited
looks four and eight years ago-especially
four years agO-when the ballOting in the
convention came clicking over the wires,
and Mr.. Blame tried to stick it out at the
capitol, where the Geographic facilities
were better than anywhere else in town,
but at last, shaking and shlyerlng, as II
with an ague, he was obliged to be put in
his carriage and driven home before the re-
suit could be guessed. Well, Mr.. Blaine,
according to those who have seen him,
is fast working himself UP to the same
pitch of nervous excitement now. In the
language of Artemus Ward, "The old man
has got snaiX in his butes agin, and is
Jest a-hollerin'." The Blaine men share
the agitation of their chief. it is all hur-
rah with them, and ''Blaine of Maine and
Victory'' is the platform on which they
propose to elect Chief Magistrate. Moth
ing like the splendOrs in which the Blaine
caYalcade viii go to Chicago has ever
been seen before on this planet-palace
cars that would make Patti and Nilsson
clench their little fists and grit their teeth
because they, too, We're not Blaine dele
gates, champagne that will flow as freely
as Apollinaris water did in Hayes time,
and cigars that will lap the souls of the
Blaine delegatesin Elysium.
Neither Mrs. Logan nor her husband
will 90 to Chicago, but Manning J. Logan,
a chip Of the old block, will be on hand to
see the obsequies of the Logan boom de-
Gently performed. Itisn mentioned as
news that the Logan boom has turned up
it's toes to the daisies-any paper that
would print that as news would print an
| account of Moses crossing the Red Sea as
an important special.
The most deceptive boom of all is that
belonging to Secretary Lincoln. 1t is
singular fact that Secretary Lincoln is
exceedingly unpopular with labOring peO-
pie, and especially the negroes. 1t may
| have been that the negroes expected too
much of Abraham LincOln's son; at all
events he has not made friends VITA them.
Logan is Overwhelmingly the favorite
with the 10000 intelligent negro inhabi-
tants of the District of Columbia. 1t is
alleged that Secretary Lincoln has let the
| els ht-hOur law go by default, and that is
| used against him with powerful effect
among the daily wage workers,
Uncle John Sherman maintains his
GOODNESS better than any OF them. The
PRESIDENT began some JlLne ago 10 LOOK
| little harassed, Blaine has become hysteri-
cal, Logan is sulky, Gresham and Hawley
and Lincoln and all the other dark horses
are neighing softly, but John Sherman
has made all his calculations, and con-
tinues to keep his head dead level Every
morning he IS promptly on hand in the
Senate chamber, and he and Acting Wee
| President Edmunds unite in a loud ard
fervent "Amenr at the end of the Chap
lain's prayer. Then they proceed to bust
ness.
} In spite of the promises Of Representa-
tives to attend to business, and Mr.. Ran
dalPs incessant prOdding, this has been
an idle week in the House, and next week
will be like it. The Senators and Repre-
sentatives who remain here will spend
the week hugging the bulletin boards.
Secretary Chandler is ready to weep with
yexatiOn because the President shut down
on his desire to go to Chicago, and insist
ed that the Secretary should remain here,
cutting his eye teeth on naval affairs.
