WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.

Mr.. Morrison's effort to discuss the
Tariff question.
Although the ground was covered
several inches deep with a muddy
sush, and the rain was falling
steadily, when the time drew near
for taking the veto, the galleries OF
the House began to fill up rapidly:
Long lnes of people clad IN rubber
shoes and goasamers and carrying
dripping umbrellas, thronged the
corridors of the Capitol and crowd
ed into the long seats of the gal
leries, where they waited patiently
for the event.
When the Speaker recognized
"the gentleman from Illinois," an
instantaneous bush fell upon the
House, and Mr.. Morrison in formal
manner, moved that the House re-
solve itself into Committee of the
whole, to consider revenue bills.
Mr.. Mckinley, of Ohio, the &C
kuowledged Protection leader of
the Republican side, demanded the
yeas and nays. Before the roll call
began, Speaker Carlisle cautioned
| the House To observe the most rlgld
order, as the veto about to be taken
was on one of the most important
questions that this Congress had
before it. When the result of the
veto was handed to the Spetk'r, he
announced il amid almost breaJhless
silence. Some of the Republican
members then began TO applaud, but
in moment all demonstration was
suppressed. Col. Morrison swung
about in his chair and finally turned
his back upon the House, while Mr..
Randall smiled aud glanced trl-
umphantly AT Messrs. Mckinley and
Reed, who, from the Republican
side, we're quietly observing the
Democrats.
Friends Of Representative Nor
risou were speaking of his future IN
connection with his retirement from
Congress next March. There is one
possible position they think he
would like To have. Should the
Interstate Commerce bill become a
law, and the commission therein
authorized be composed of the kind
of myn to suit Mr.. Morrison, he
would accept the presidency of this
commission and serve the people
against monopolies.
Senator Edmunds was violently
opposed to repeal of the Tenure
OF Office Act which the Senate
voted for. lie said it was "A re
straint now, although the President
WAS making great number of sns
pensions. It's repeal would be an
invitation TO the Executive to re-
move on purely political grounds
everybody who did not agree with
hun, on with some Department of
hcial, or with the party. He thought
the Senate was taking a step twenty
FIVE years backward in practical
civil service reform.
The Senator believed that ali
these offices to be held for fixed
terms, aud he was willing that the
/ President should for every vacancy,
select a man of his own political
faith. Said he: "lf there s.to be
a change in a couple of years hence
Gas | trust and believe there win all
these matters wall then be remov ed
from the mere strife and spoil aud
contention of politics"

IT is cheerfully conceded that Judge
Carey would be wholly unobjectionable in
any other position than that in which he
seeks to remain. and that bis record in all
] the other places he has filled since first he
came to Wyoming as a public officer, has
been unimpeachable in any respect. 1t
is further granted that his shortcomings
as delegate have not been the result of
any fault of his own, and that he has
served as acceptably and accomplished as
much as any other Republican could have
lone in a Democratic house and with a
Democratic administration. Even with
out representation, almost any admins
t%ration, irrespective of party. would give
some attention to the imperative needs of
the people OF any part of the country,
but where the urgency does not plainly
assert itself or where there are limitations
imposed by the amount Of appropria
tions, it is natural that the territory repre-
scented by a delegate opposed to the ma
jority in his house and hostile to the
administration should be made to stand
aside until others more friendly shall
first have been fully served. Such has
uniformly been the case and will continue
to be so long AS members Of congress and
department officers are actuated by the
ordinary motives and principles of the
rest of mankind. Upon grave occasions
demanding immediate action, such as the
legalization of a legislative assembly, for
instance; the leaders of either party would
have respect enough for themselves to act
at once and honesty enough to act accord
ing to the merits OF the case, whether
presented by an accredited delegate or
brought to their notice in any other way.
1t is true that Wyoming can bear neg
lect without sustaining irrcparable injury,
an can get along foi another term with
u special aid, but it is a heavy price,
not compensated by the honor Of being
represented by any ornamental delegate,
no matter how distinguished in other po-
sitions nor how eminent for civic virtue and
high character in private life. Especially
does this seem true, when it is considered
that there is properly no politics IN the
question; that is, the delegate not having
a vote can exercise no political power by
virtue of his seat.

MORE ABOUT MuRRIN.

Col. Luke Murrin has been sele ,ted by
the Democrats OF Laramie county as their
nominee for sheriff, aud no better or more
deserving gentleman could have been Sc
lectcd to ill hat position. Brave and
loyal to the core, a pioneer in the terri
tory, unsel1sh and generous to a fault,
Col. Murrin has spent his time. influence
and money In assisting to make Cheyenne
the beautiful city it is to day. Honored
as the hrst mayor under whom the capital
city INST started on its career OF pros
perity, what more fitting tribute could be
paid to his long career OF usefulness than
by bestowing upon him the honors and
emolumenis of the office he so richly de-
serves. Col. Murrin is still vigorous. more
so than most ofthe heroes who faced the
hurting storm of shot and shell in the
great drama that closed twenry-one years
ago. Serving upon the staff of Gen.
Rosecrans, he contributed in no small
degree TO the success which gave odd
Rosy" his well earned reputation. But
how as years begin to crowd upon the
colonel. as an appreciation Of his SPLEEN
did services, the party he has served so
long has bestowed the honor Of this nom
nation upon him. and this nomination
should receive the unanimous second of
every voter in Laramie county. 1t was
a disappointment to Col. Murrin's army
of friends throughout the territory that
he did not receive the appointment of
surveyor general of the territory a year
ago, as he had received the highest en-.
dorsement from such men as Sherman.
