From Our Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, May 26-There ia general
regret upon both sides Of the House at the
SUCCESS OF Holman in securing nomina-
ton. Holman, who plays thepart OF pro-
isasional economist. is greatly disliked, not
only by his opponents, but by his political
associates as well. His ''cent akinning' ideas
sre not in accord with the spirit Of the age,
and while he would undoubtedly have been
a valuable acquisition to the councils Of
Cm,ar's time when the laborer received but
"pennyl day." hb ia not in his right
place IS member Of the Forty. Eighth
Congress Of the United States Of America.
& 1t Z due to men oil the Holman ilk that
the civil as-vics Of the Government is not
ps we'll supported as it should be. Holman
and tho few that are with him are enabled
to cut down salaries OF important Offices at
will and thus drive good men away from
the Government service. Az 8 result the
cry Of extravaganza Is frequently raised
against members Of the Cabinet who desire
10 baye the work io1 which they are respon-
sible performed in fitting manner.
When the estimates are submitted at the
beginning Of each seusion the secretaries OF
the various departments invariably ask for
additional clerks, not only because the
business Of their Office is constantly on the
incresse, but because they know very well
thu: unlsts they ak for more help they are
almost certain to have their ferCe reduced.
This wear tho .Postnaster.general decided
not 10 psk for any additional clerks, al
though his ot!ices arc all overcrowied With
work; The result is as might have been
expected. Holman has gst in streak oil
economy, and, besides recognizing the
department 10 iuit his own views, he has
cut down the clerical force wherever h
thought the clerks were too thick. 1t is
ior similar reasous to this that members ol
Congress, who do net desire to embarrsg1
the public Rsryice, are not glad to hea. thai

LONDON, May 26.-A very exciting scene
occurred, to-day at the railway station at
Dover, shortly after the arrival Of the
steamer from Calais. Tho police authori-
ties had received telegram from Calais in
forming them that two men had embarked
there for Dover carrying with them two
auspicious.looking bags which they handled
very carefully, and giving description Of

sent TO the dock to await the arrival OF the

WASHINGTON, May 2G.-Col. Tom Bsyne,
Of Pennsylvania, has this to say on the
Presidential situation: ~ think the con.
jectural vote published by Mr.. Arthur's
friends proves more than they should care
to assume. The States are placed in alpha.
betical order and 10 some extent the weak.
nees Of Arthur's candidacy is thus disguis.
ed by separating. the Republican from the
Democratic States. This very estimate
shows that Arthur will have but l26 out Of
the cure Democratic S.ates. This must be
encouraging to drowning man. There are
only seyenty.six delegates according to
their statement, in the Democratic States
whom Mr.. Arthur and his iriende have
not captured, and most OF these belong TO
the border Statea-Delaware, Marylaud
and Missouri, where official domination
must preserve some OF the outward SEEM
ings Of fair play and decency. ''s
CALCULATION OF ARTnvRs FRIENDS
'''But the calculation Of Mr.. Arthur's
friends who have his interests in charge
will be found to be plentilully lacking in
veridcation at Chicago. Let me give you
comparative statement of the strength Of
Blaine and Arthur. I shall keep the Re-
publican States separate, thst Mr.. Blaine's
political standing in them may at least
measurably appear. It by no means will
fully appear, because the Blaine people
Rave had all solta OF Vaccinations to con-
tend with. Deceit! Why, there is no

expressing the fear that ho can't cary
New York! Those are not Blaine men at
heart. They had to be Blaine men to get
into the convention or to maintain their
political standing among their people,
There is not well informed politician in

can carry New York il any other Republic
can can. But here is the comparative

Of stories as to the manner in which tht

more or less truth. It Is :eGid for inetance
