WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, May 18th, 1ss


WASHINGTON, May 18th, 1883.
Cleveland and his advisers are al
most in panic; they are giving up
here and clutching there in order to
keep the lettering old party on its
feet. Early this week there was a
conference held between Secretary
Fairchild, Speaker Carlisle and Sen
ator Beck. The object of it was to
settle the fate of the bond-purchase
bill which was passed by the House
some time ago, and to which Sena-
tor Beck, as the representative of
the silver men, attached an amend
ment, compelling the Secretary Of
the Treasury o purchase silver bull
lion and coin the same to the full
amount of all national bank notes
surrendered under the bill.
Messrs. Carlisle and Fairchild
represented Mr.. Cleveland's well
known anti-silver ideas. They tried
to bring Senator Beck around, but
he got his Scotch blood up and read
the riot act to such an extent that
the other gentlemen agreed that the
administration should keep its hands
off, and that if the amended bill
could be carried through the House,
Cleveland would agree to sign it.
The secret Of this action on the part
of the administration is the silver
men control a good many votes and
Mr.. Cleveland is willing to sacrifice
any or all of his prejudices-until
after election--if he can only secure
the votes.
A movement is on foot among the
southern republicans to urge the
nomination of VIM. O. Bradley for
Vice-President. 1t is alleged that
Bradley's canvass last year for Gov
ernor of kentucky, reducing the
enormous democratic majority of
that state to a few thousand, was
made on a campaign fund of only
$3.50, and under circumstances much
less favorable to the republicans
than those now existing. And it is
claimed that with him on their
ticket the republicans would, in all
probability, carry the state this fall.
As a preliminary step to this
movement the republican members
of the kentucky Legislature and the
recent republican state convention
at Louisville have formally recon
mended him for Vice-President to
the Chicago convention.
Mr. Bradley, though under age at
the time, rendered valuable military
service, gun in hand, in behalf Of
the Union cause. From early man
hood he has been conspicuous in
kentucky as a lawyer and orator.

WHEN the Wisconsin Republicans
assembled together in their state
convention they adopted tariff res
olution quite different in its senti-
ments from those embodied in the
call of the convention. 1t is as
follows, and there is not a hint of
free trade or of tariff reform" on
free trade model in or between its
lines:
ION the subject of protection their views are
expressed in the platform which Abraham Lin
coin approved, and on which he was elected
viz That while providing revenue for the sup
port of the general Government by duties on
imports, sound policy requires such adjustment
Of these imposts as to encourage the industrial
interests of the whole country and we com
mend the policy OF national exchanges which
secures 10 the workingmeu liberal wages, TO
agriculture remuneratiye prices, 10 merchants
and manufacturers an adequate reward Tor
their skill, labor and enterprise, and to the
Nation commercial prosperity and independ-
ence While IN favor of such revision Of the
tariff and reduction of the revenue As will
avoid accommodating a surplus in the Treasury
after meeting the current expenses of the Gov
erRment and paying the national debt as rapid
~ as il natures, we demand that the revision
shall he made by those friendly to the principle
OF protection and not by its enemies. We de-
nounce the last annual message OF Presisent
| Cleveland ms nm attack upon American indus
tries in the interests OF free trade"
Another resolution denounces the
Mills bill as unjust, dishonest and
sectional" and as "unfairly aiming
blow at the industries of one sec
ton of the country while shielding
those of the other" If that is a
specimen of the "tariff reform views
Of Western Republicans" about
which SO much is heard at the east
more of it is wanted in all parts OF
the country. 1t is plank that will
do to stand on in every part of the
country.

he procured bottle of Chamber

The Southern Democratic prohi-
bitionists will not let the third party
movement enter the State or nation
al campaign, but will restrict it to
the Legislative ticket. In that, of
course, it will not be permitted to
interfere with the election of a
United States Senator. Why will
not Northern Republican prohibit
tionists learn wisdom from the
Democratic Southern prohibition
lists?

In the city of Cambridge, Mass,
with 10000 inhabitants, no saloons
are licensed, nor open. This is not
the work of political prohibitionists,
but of sound temperance Legislation
enforced by local public sentiment
and faithful officials. Prohibition
by third party methods has never
accomplished with all its labor
one result as satisfactory as this.

II is proposed by the opponents
of the Mills tariff-reducing bill to
substitute sugar for wool on the free
lists, and make that issue. That
would be sensible and right, but
sugar, one Of the necessaries of life,
being Southern product, and wool
a product Of the North, the majority
of the Democrats in the House will,
of course, combine against the prop
osition.

The honest portion of the Chris
tian people of Augusta, Ga, are in
dignant aud disguised at the recent
discovery that Mormon missionaries
from Utah are gathering converts
in that city and organizing a perma-
nent church. Georgia can endure a
good deal, but poIygamy, under the
preteuso of religion, is a little too
much for quiet endurance. There
will be trouble for those Mormon
missionaries ere long.

BERLIN, April 5.-The Cologne Gazette

the report is serious IS they cannot be
passed over until the Bulgarian question
shall have been settled by oil the powers.
The pre- iected marriage can only be
judged from political point OF view, and
On that account the marriage is an i'm
possibility. The German policy has lts
