ClScrSSArt, Oct. l3.-The weather last
night and during the early hours this
morning was anything but an induce
ment to enthusiasm. The air was damp and
chilly, apd light rain fell almost constantly.
When the election Of Foraker was made Ger
tain there was some cheering IN squads, but
no concerted demonstrations occurred.
The saloons on Vine street did not
close at midnight under the law passed
bv the last legislature, but were
doing a big business with open doors, Judge
Foraker spent the night in an Office near the
telegraph building where with few friends,
he read the returns. He was gratIhed with
the first indications, but was not quick tc
claim any advantage. When the news be.
came conclusive he wore an expression OF re-
! Ii f. He received many kilograms OF con
| graduation and when his net gain haC
| reached figure sufficient t. overcome IL,
msjorty against him in lsS3 he went to hi
| home on Walnut Hills.

OF afternoon news arose. and the news
clearing house, was thus established. An
old Washington correspondent said to your
correspondent on this subject not long since
that it was utterly impossible to keep a
piece of news exclusive" in the morning
here This is not strictly true, but it Is a
fact that there is a great deal more trading
in news in the morning than there is in the
evening. Old correspondents say, too, that
there is not nearly so much rivalry among
news purveyors now as there was ten years
ago.
The world of the newspaper correspond
ent is complete one in itself. 1t has its
duties and its pleasures, its studies and its
lelaxations its social joys and griefs, very
much the same as that of any other class.
There is an idea that
YOUR AVERAGE CORRESPONDENT
is Bohemian, with neither home nor fam
lily nor ambition, except to earn his weekly
salary and spend it. Of course there are
some men in the newspaper world who have
this sort of record, as there are in any other
profession--for it is profession-but they
are the exception, not the rule. Most of
them have their families some of them live
in their own houses keep their own horses
and buggies, and have their own pews in
church. 1t is thing quite out of the usual
order in the minds OF most people to see a
newspaper correspondent passing the plate
at church, or filling the position of usher at
one of the highly fashionable churches.
but such things happen in Washington. 1t
is no uncommon thing to see the names of
the wives and daughters of prominent cor
respondents figuring Largely iii the annals Of
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-05-31

society. or to see them in person
taking part in. the doings of that
mysterious kaleidoscope compound, the So
cial world There is. too, more or less of
social relationship between the families of
the correspondents, though where there are
so many there is tendency to divide up
into parties whose tastes run in similar
lines. There are among the correspondents
some whose tastes and acquaintance run
in the line of the theatrical profession, 9TH
erS who
CULTIVATE THE LITERARY.
others who turn their attention to the social
world of Washington, and still others
whose acquaintance takes more conserva-
tive line and comprises department people,
and even the families of members of con-
gress. Of the hundred or two of newspa-
per correspondents who are here, it is prob
able that more than half live in boarding
houses, for SO many of them are sent here
by their papers for so brief time that 1t Is
useless for them to attempt to establish
themselves. There are others, however,
who live here, who make Washington their
permanent home, who are here the year
round and one year after another who
have been here for twenty years OF more.
They have usually their homes, some OF
them rented. some of them their own.
There is one popularity about the Wash
ington correspondent that is worthy of no.
tice, and much to be wondered at. That is
his reluctance to accept anything new as re-
lates to his own personal methods. Per-
slstent seekers after news as they are, they
reject anything new in their own line until
it is actually forced upon them through rec
St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1885-05-31

ington during their first year here. One of
the oldest and most successful CORE
spondents in Washington, whose portrait
is, by the way, given in this correspondence,
said to your correspondent long ago that he
did not consider that he was of
ANY PARTICULAR VALUE
to the papers he represented during the first
three years of his experience here. So it is
a mistake in most cases that the papers out
of Washington send their best men here for
merely session of congress. But they do
it, and the result is that there are numerous
new faces among the correspondents and
numerous changes, and that the correspond
ents, like the pig aforementioned, frisk
about so that it is hard to count them.
There are, however, over a hundred OF
them who can be legitimately counted-a
hundred or two hundred busy news-gatll-
ererS, hunting high and low for news dig
ing up the records Of statesmen, who are
always considered fair target, ndcOmbin-
ing the results of their labors. Do you
wonder that some very queer stuff comes
out of Washington and is called ''newS?''
For there is great Interchange of matter,
and when you read this OF that item you
never know whose actual production it is.
This is especially true about the afternoon
ulSpdGc1loS. L tl6 u6Mo c16dIluS HOuSO Is
the name given to the Western Union tele-
graph Office just opposite the treasury. 1t
is the general resort of newspaper CORE
spondents about noon Of each day They
gather there and ;'swap" news It is
A CURIOUS FACT
