A Washington news writer says it is
there stated on the most reliable auth
ority that long before the close OF the
campaign Senator Quay informed Mr.
Harrison that if the republicans were
successful he should insist that q clean
sweep OF democrets in Office should be
made ct as early date as practicable
and that the administration should place
the responsibility of its success upon
republican shoulders only. There are
many evidences that the democratic
Office holders will have TO yield theil
positions. The public can rest assured
however, that republican applicants for
Office will not be caught on sneak hunt
in their several communities for affi-
davits against the personal characters oil
democratic incumbents. While such q
course would be we'll deserved retalia-
tien In many instances, il is entirely too
disreputable for republicans TO engage

Relative to the appointment of private
secretary to President HARRISON special
from Washington to the Minneapolis
Tribune says:
e has been stated that ex-Fifth Audi
tor Alexander, who is an intimate friend
of General Harrison, would be appoint
ed. This announcement ie at best pre-
mature, and Col. Alexander, since il was
made, has been quoted as saying that he
does not expect or want the place. From
the best information obtainable in Wash
ington at this time it would appear that
the gentleman most likely to be selected
for the private seoretaryship is Perry s..
Heath, the special correspondent OF the
Indianapolis Journal, who is also warm
personal friend OF Geperal Harrison.
The name OF Russell 8. Harrison, son oi
the presidsnt-eleos, has been mentioned
but there are believed to be reasons
| why the general would prefer not to have
his son fill the position. Aside from thii
friendship for the general and years o.
service to bis party, MIR. Heath is surel,
fitted for the position.
The appointment OF Mr.. Heath to thi
confidential position would give Dakot,
added strength in administration circles

Colonel q. a. Lounsberry, discussing
the political futnre in the Minneapolis
Tribune, reaches the conclusion that q
governor for Dakota will be selected by
President Harrison from the south half
of the territory. He recites the fact that
the south has always been solidly loyal
to division, while the home opposition
to division came mainly from the north.
The division OF Dakota wes General Har.
rison pet prcj sct in the senate and in
making o guberna.o.ial selection he will
naturally go among his division allies for
material Colonel LouEsbsrry mentions,
in connection with this appointment,
Governor Mellette, Judge Edgertop,
Charles g. Williams and Judge Moody.
Rslative to these gentlemen he says:
| mention Mellette first because he
has had an expression OF the people in
his favor for governor OF South Dakota
He has often met Gen. Harrison In In
diana, where he formerly resided. and in
Washington in connection with Dakota
state matters.
Hon. Ohas. G. Williams, of Water
town, is personally we'll known to Gen.
Harrison, having served in the house
when Gen. Harrison was in the senate.
Mr.. Williams was in congress an earnest
worker with Gen. Harrison for the di-
vision and admission OF Dakota. Mr.
Williams has not been identified with
any OF the factions in the territory nor
with the we-are-a-state movement ex-
cept as humble citizen Of South Da-
kota. ready to support any feasible
scheme that would give emancipation tc
Dakota. He has not been identified
with the south against the north. and
refused very large cash retainer to aci
for Bismarck as counsel in the capitol
case before Gsn. Villas was retained.
Gen. A. j Edgerton has been promi
nently connected with the statehood
matter from the beginning, and being
! one of the state senstors-elect, would
naturally be considered in this connec.
ton, Gen. Edgerton is q grand, goot
man and true as steel to every lnteres
of the people. If prejuiiced sgains
north Dakota he could be readil,
| awakened to the fact, when he woulc
| hasten to do exact justice. He woult
be worthy father to the new state.
Ool. G. O. Moody is not less able thar
the others, he is not less earnest in hi
work for Dakota, and has never received
due credit for the work he he's alread,
done for Dakota as representative o
the state movement in Washington
He, like Gen. Edgerton, is one of til,
United States senators elect OF Che
| mythical state, and has given to Gen
Harrison, personally, valuable aid in hi
Dakota work, but Mr.. Moody creates
sntagonisms, even when doing exectl,
right that neither of the other gentlemen
wonld excite. He is brainy and he ii
honest. but he is Moody, and desires
things TO 90 his way without regard tc
what others. equally interested, ma,
know OF think about il.

lob, doubtful g. And as to these doubt
ful districts, SO called, the statement il
made that the democrats will secure O
bare majority if they shall carry two OF
these districts, while it will be necessary
for the republicans to carry five of them
to have this bare majority of 1853. The
only districts which the clerk of the
house admits are doubtful are: First
California, fourth Connecticut, second
Louisiana, tenth Michigan, ninth North
Carolina and and first Virginia, The
republicans don't admit that there liz
doubt as to any one Of these districts
and claim to have information from each
OF these districts at the republican con-
gresslonal headquarters to show that
there can be no doubt that the republI-
cans have carried them. One OF the
democratic claims must fall to the
ground for the official returns show that
the republican in the fourth Connecticut
is elected. The republican headquarters
claim to have information that the re.
publican from the second Louisiana is
elected by 1.20O mejority, Mr.. Brown,
OF the first Virginia district, whose seat
is said to be in doubt, telegraphs here
that he is elected by very
handsome majority" There are be-
SIDES some rather strik.
ing errors in the list which is given ont
ss containing d statement of the latest
information received by the clerk of the
house. In the ninth Massach husetts dis
trict, for instance, Bennett is down Of

has been raised that his opponent, Can-
dler, is elected over him by very CON
siderable mojority. This self officia

maintain there is still very great doub
