The Inaugural Ball TO Eclipse All It's Prede-
eessOrs--NinOr Washington Matters
in Brief.
Tue ADMINISTRATION STRIKES BACK.

gauntlet. having been thrown down, the liz
side facts connected with the Management
of the campaign must now come TO light. 1t
is well known here that quite early in the
campaign Secretary Chandler had confer
euces With Mr. Jones and other members Of
the COMMITTEES In New York in regard to the
canvass aud that his suggestions were not
received with approval, much less with de-
light. Mr.. Chandler Was opposed 10 wasting
money in Teckies manner,
and counseled prudent management IN
discussing the funds placed in tue hands OF
the COMMITTEES. He was also opposed to
sending an agent TO Tennessee with SIS. 900
70 expend there, but Mr.. Jones gave to all
the suggestions made a cool reception, and
Mr.. Chandler was made 10 feel that his ad-
vice was not needed. Secretary Teller, In
speaking Of the statement Of Mr.. Jones, said
to-day that II was simply an untruth, aud had
no foundation in fact. II was within his
knowledge that every member OF the cabinet
an-iously desired the success Of the Republi-
can ticket, aud did what they could to bring
this result about. He had gone to New YORK
and given the committee some good advice,
and had this been followed defeat would not
have come. Mr.. Jones ran the campaign
according to bis ideas, and Ar. Cleveland
was elected. He was glad that Secretary
Chandler had written his letter, as Il was
about time the administration should strike
back and let certain gentlemen know that
they cannot with IMMUNITY continue their as
saulis upon President Arthur because Mr.
Blaine failed OF en- election.
THE FIGHT FOR LAPHAM's SHOES.
The interests of President Arthur in the
senatorial tight are being looked after by
Gen. Geo. II Sharpe, Congressman John
W. Davy, Congressman Burlelgb, Senator
James Otis, Collector Pierce, OF Rochester
and ex-senator w. w. Bruman. all ex-
cept the last named had a conference at the
Gilsey house, New York, and went through
the list OF Legislators to see how they stood
They arrived at the conclusion that the first
point TO attend to was election Of q speaker
aud the defest OF Mr.. Erwin, the Morton
candidate; also that all the candidates for
senator against ar. Morton should be made
to understand that II was for their interest to
have some one other than Mr..
Erwin elected as speaker to help
their chances. The rest OF the
day was spent in ascertaining how
many votes in New York city could be Sc
cured for Walter Howe for speaker, so that Il
might be determined whether he could be
made the candidate Of the proposed combins-
ton against Mr.. Erwin. Two votes were
found, aud the search for another viii be
continued. On the Erwin-Morton side Chef.
S. Cole, Of Corning, Mr.. Shaw, Of Chautau-
qua, and Dwight Lawrence, who has just re-
turned from the interior of state, were watch
ing developments and talking up their candi-
dates. They were all sure that no com bina-
ton could be male 70 defeat Mr. Erwin and
that his success would end Mr.. Arthur's
chances, and leave the senatorial chances be-
tween Morton and EEarts or Morton and
Hiscock. The letter of Mr.. Evarts is disap-
poiutment to those who have been raising
the free trade charge against the president,
in that 1t does not treat OF the tariff and pro-
lection:
LocAN's SENATORIAL CHANCES.
The New York Sun to-day has an interview
with Hon. Thos. E. Merritt, (Democrat),
OF the Illinois legislature, who says that no
Republican can he elected senator. The Re-
publicans, he said, shave 4 majority of one
in the senate. We have a majority of one
in the house, so that We come together ex-
setly even. The very best that Logan can
do is to poll that tie vote. He will never get
beyond II. BE has nothing TO give for the
Que more vote that will elect him. You see.
we have The postofIices, United States mar
shalship and the good things generally to
distribute this time, and Logan has not, so
that it is reasonably certain that the break
will be from them to US, not from US to
them. Morrison, Harrison aud Black all
have their ardent supporters. Judge Aim
Is in the race in good shape, aud don I
know who viii be our choice. II Charlie
Farwell came within one vote OF election,
then Elijah Halnes would vote for him.
They are warm personal friends, and, though
Haines is a Democrat. rather think b.
would support FArwell, but Farwell will
never get there. Logan will not let him.
Logan is not strong enough to get elected
himself, but he is strong enough to prevent
any other Republican from getting there"
''How ARE rot, sURcHGRD!"
A great deal OF curiosity has been mani
tested among Republican politicians here to
witness the first meeting Of Blaine and Logan
and to see how the distinguished candidates
would greet each other. They met on Penn
syivania avenue day or two ago. Blaine
was riding In carriage and Logan was re-
turning from the senate on foot. They
sighted each other fully block away, and
VIXEN the carriage was about passing Blaine
raised his hat III most digniied manner.
Logan cleared his throat and shouted, ''How
are you, BurchardI'' Blaine's face flushed
for an instant, and he looked embarrassed,
then lie smiled and Logan went into the
street and both shook hands heartily. The
incident was witnessed by several citizens,
ana is being repeated at Blaine's expense.
TEE INAUGURAL BALL
It's now a settled fact that the inaugural
bali will take place in the new pension build
Ing, which can be made available. II is
practically settled that tickets to the ball will
be placed at the price Of 50 for each person,
whether lady or gentleman, and that there
viii be no complimentary tickets except for
the president and vice president, and such
members Of their immediate party as they
may desire to accompany them. Each pur-
chaser of a ticket viii receive also beauti-
fully engraved card with an appropriate
inscription designed for preservation 1t is
hoped to make the ball eclipse all of its pre-
deeessors in magniicence of display and
decorations as well as in attendance.
