WASHINGTON LErTER.
(Fron our Regular Correspendent.)
WAsHINcroH, Nov. II, 1888.

pected here on short visit some
time during next month. He ha
some private business to attend t
in Washington, and while here h
will probably meet the Republican
leaders in Congress and get theil
views on the making up Of the cab
inc. and other important questions
All the Political signs now point tc
the most harmonious and sue
cessful Administration for years.
People here, irrespective of party,
sympathize with Mrs. Cleveland,
now that the news has got out that
within two months after Inaugural
ton day stranger is expected in
tho Cleveland family. The ladies
particularly regret that Washington
il not to have White House baby
to rave over.
Washington always has excite
ment of sone kind. Just as the
election feeling was quieting down
a little, came the announcement
early this week OF Treasury rob-
berry. Rumor placed the amount
away up in the millions at first, but
upon investigation it was found that
only $500 was stolen, and the Ex-
press company will have that TO
pay. The money was stolen some
where between the U. S. Mint at
New Orleans and the Treasury De-
partment in this city. The Govern
ment seals on two boxes were
broken, $1,000 taken from one and
$500 from the other in silver dollars,
and lead substituted therefor. De-
tectives are trying to locate the
theft.
Lord Sackvillc expects to leave
Washington next week, and the So
ciety people are taking advantage
OF their last opportunity for while |
OF entertaining real genuine Eng
fish lord, by showering social atten-
tons upon him and his daughters. |
1t Is amusing to see the various
states which people with nothing
better to do are making up for Gen.
cabinet. The only thing
tangible that I have yet been able
10 discover in this connection is that
great pressure is likely to be
brought to bear upon Senator Sher-
nan to take the Treasury portfolio.
All the states made up with his name
included assign HIM to the State
Department, but am assured by
high in the party ccun-
ills that ii Sherman goes into the
Cabinet at all-such course will
De against his lnclination-it will
'e III his cid position, Secretary OF
he Treasury. Senator Sherman is
Justly regarded as enc of the great
st financiers that this country has
and Gen. Harrison may
'e considered fortunate if he can ,
ecure him for the head of the
treasury. i
Senator Quay, who this week
moved the headquarters of the Ma
ional Committee from New York
. this city, is the lion Of the hour.
1e reviewed the enthusiastic pro-
ession of nearly 10000 local Re-
ubhcans Wednesday night, and
he cheers they gave him as they | !
assed the reviewing stand would {
ave made any man in this country I ]
roud. Every Republican in tho |
United States should feel under per- ,
onal obligations to Senator Quay 9
or the great victory he has wen. t
Indications are rapidly multiply r
lg to prove that the Democrats pro- S
ose making desperate attempt to E
teal the House of Representatives
ON the Republicans, who have
onestly elected a majority OF the
lembers. The method adopted
,r this attempted steal is in every
ay worthy of, and in keeping with
he history of the Democratic party. :
or some days after election they
,nceded the House to the Repub-
cans by from 2 to 90 majority.
