Hardly anybody alludes to Mr.. Morri
son but speaks of his conspicus honesty.
When Morris n previous to 1850 was
spoken of as a possible candidate for the
Presidency, Gen. Eppa IIlmtqu, Of Vr-
ginia, then member of the Ho'tse. WAS
said to have struck the mark when he
expressed the opinion that if Morrison
were made President there would be
more honesty and less manners in the
White House than at anv time since
General Jackson lived there
The President did not go home to vote

joining the little telegraph office of the
White House that evening, and read the
news direct from all parts ofthe country
as fast as it came. OF all the fimsy rea.
sons given why the President did not 90
to Buffalo, probably the silliest explana-
tion was that he did not wish to vote for
a certain Democratic candidate for Con
gress i'm the Buhafo district, that gentle
man having made speech some time
ago, in which it is alleged he expressed
lack of sympathy with the Administra
ton The whole thing about which so
much ado was made amounts to nothing
but | will state one good reason why he
was not there. He removed from the
district some time ago, and although he
is entitled to registration in Buffalo, is at
present disfranchised like many other
residents of Washington.
haYe from good authority that Mr..
Blaine believes that President Cleveland
will be re-nominated in 1888, and tnat
he will be reelected That is why he
says he does not expect to be nominated
himself at that time. and why he says
he does not want to be. He has said re-
Gently with great emphasis that he would
never accept nomination for the Prpsi-
dency unless he felt certain of election
He will work for some good Blaine man,
though, in the Republican convention of
1888, and bide his time. He will keep
himself before the country, as no one
knows better how, to do than he, for the
nomination in 1892. Mr. Blaine will not
be as old man, even then, as was

Railroad Rum0Fs.

The Omaha Herald says Among
the latest reports concerning the Union
Pacific is one the company is preparing
to surrender its main line to the Govern
ment under a foreclosure Of the first
mortgage, in event of such step becom-
ing necessary. The proposed plan is to
run in another track from VALLEY station
which track would give them their own
line to Denver by way Of Lincoln, thence
to the Kansas Pacific, which ROAD they
also operate and own. By building a
branch to the Oregon Short Line. at
Granger. they would then have a through
line to the coast of the Pacinc Thus
they could let the Government take the
main line on which the mortgages are
piled to such a heavy extent. In con-
nection with the report, a man about
town said yesterday ! don't know but
this would be the best thing for the
people and all concerned. | am not
sure but it would be an excellent thing
thus having line across about half
the continent and under G yernment
control. 1t would serve as a check upon
the other great lines of railroad to pre-.
vent pooling and the placing Of the rates
of tariff at SO high a figure. The lateral
lines would serve as feeders tc this road,
ands they would have an assurance Of
equitable rates Of transportation While
the above is a somewhat plausible rumor
we think it is merely started TO aid the
President adams project Of funding the
Union Pacific debt--a project that 1t
seems to us would be better both Tor the
Government ard the z. p Co. IF the
z. P Co. cannot make money operating
the road, the Government cannot.

Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 1s86.--(Special
Correspondence.)- )--Those features ofTues-
days contest which were unexpected
and seem inexplicable are still the chief
subject of discussion here. Indeed the
elections were full of small sized mir
acles. When President Cleveland first
formulated his policy of civil service re-
form you hard good deal said about the
opposition it would met with in the
North and the disposition of the South
ern people to approve of it. Yet North
Carolina lets Representative Cox be de-
feated in convention, and develops a
sudden fancy for anti-democratic proc
Invites in her delegation. Kentucky
cuts Speaker Carlisle's vote down to a
mere shadow of its former self, and Vir-
ginia throws away her democratic seats
in Congress with recklessness. On the
other hand, Minnesota, the old Republi-
can stronghold, polls so close a vote as to
leave the issue in doubt for a time
Massachusetts pushes Andrew almost to
the front, and New Hampshire almost
breaks her strong Republican record
in the House,
The news Of Speaker CarlisIe's possible
defeated caused profound surprise here.
That of Mr.. Morrison did not, as it had
been regarding among the possibilities.
He has always had more or less close
contest, and his district Is really Repub-
lican, although he has repeatedly car
ried it by his personal popularity.
