had written offensive letters. Upon an ex-

REPUBLICAN TARIFF CAUCUS.
The Republicans of the house held an in
formal caucus tn is morning to discuss their
proper course in respect to the tariff bill
when it is called by Mr.. Morrison next week.
All those who expressed themselves were in
favor of opposing the consideration of it or
the agitation Of the tariff question in any
form, except Mr.. Kasson, who thought the
party could, with the aid Of the Randall
wing of the Democrats, defeat the BILL He
thought it would be good party policy not to
oppose its discussion, but fight and if possi-
Bile defeat it on the floor.
ARTHUR's COLLAPSE.
The collapse, or at least the weakening OF
the Arthur boom is the talk of all the poll
ticians here. A few weeks ago Arthur SEEM
ed to have the prospect for a walk over for
the nomination, but there has been SO great
change in the situation that he is regarded
now as one of the most improbable winners,
and many well-informed men pronounce
him out of the race altogether. The southern
states, which he has been using the whole
patronage of the government to control, are
sending instructed delegations, and many
Blaine Logan and Grant delegates, instead
of the solid Arthur squads that we're expected.
1t is now thought impossible for Arthurto get
half the delegation from New York, his
own statel The half-breed element, headed
by such men as Robertson, whom he kept in
the collectorship at the cost of Conking's
friendship, is solidly and bitterly against
him, and is rapidly concentrating on Blaine
in order to beat him. The friends Of Grant
and Conkling despise him as traitor to his
old allies, and will knife him whenever a
tion or afterwards if he should by any poss-
bility get the nomination. The truth is he
has less strength than ever his enemies have
supposed, and is whipped before the fight
begins. A leading Democratic senator yes
terday declared he was praying three times
day for Arthur's nomination, ''for," said
he, elf we can't beat him, we can't beat any
body"
BOB LINCOLN.
Shrewd politicians among the Republicans
here ridicule the idea of nominating Bob
Lincoln for the vice-presidency. They say
he has no strength except in his fathers
name, and in case the presidential nominee is
taken from the east the vice-presidency should
be given to one of the doubtful states, Indi-
ana or Ohio. Illinois is sure to go Republi-
can, anyhow, and it would be waste of
strength to give it the second place on the
ticket. especially if one of the Democratic
nominees should be taken from Ohio or
Indiana as now seems almost certain.
oRDwAY's SUCCESSOR.
Dakota people here are amused at a re-
port of an interview with Ordway, in which |
he says he would not accept the governor
ship of the territory again for 5000 year. |
1t is generally understood among them that |
he has exhausted all his resources in at
tempts to secure denomination, and his
talk about not having it on any terms sounds
like bad case of "sour grapes" Those
who claim to know say there is no show at
all for Lounsberry's appointment as Ord
ways successor. Nobody seems to have |
any definite idea Of who the coming man
will be.
A BANKERS PETITION.
A petition full of meat, If not just delicate,
was presented in the house yesterday from
number of officers of national banks in
Pennsylvania, New York and Minnesota.
The petitioners say that they realize that |
they probably waste their time in memorial
izing congress, because it is obvious that |
this congress does not intend doing any
thing in the matter; that |
the present requirement affecting
deposits to secure circulation makes business
improbable, however, and that if nothing is
done they will return to the state system and |
give up their charters as rapidly as they ex
pire. ''For some strange reason,' writes |
President Marvin, of the Delaware National
bank, Delphi, N. Y, Congress seems bent
on finding out how much squeezing
we will stand, and if the
past Is any evidence it will continue doing so
until the system is ruined. 1t is time some
new banks are starting, but they are mostly
managed by inexperienced men, who, like
many congressman, think they know more
about the business of banking than old
bankers After a short trial they will also
leave the business
