WASHINGTON, Nov. s, 1888.

victory 10 the all-absorblng topic Of
: conversation here, among all classes
AID conditions. The good news
was not surprising to the Repub-
leans, SO great was their conf
denec in the ability of majority of
the voters OF this country to see the
necessity of forever stamping out
the nefarious idea of free trade; but
the news proved a terrible shock to
the Democrats, who, from the be.
ginning OF Clevaland's administra-
ton have believed that "Cleveland' 8
luck" was q .a.ismaR that nothing
could conquer. Mr.. Cleveland HIM
self was very strong believer in
that idea previous to last Tuesday.
but it is probable that his ideas on
the subject have undergone radical
change since that date. The Re-
publicans In this city are all render
ing heartfelt thanks for delivery
from four years more OF Democratic
mal-administration, and next to
General Harrison, the man oftenest
mentioned as deserving OF the
largest share of the gratitude Of tie
people for bringing about this very
desirable state OF affairs, Is Senator
Quay, who, by his able manage
n,ent OF the campaign made victory
certain from the day that he was
selected as Chairman OF the Repub-
lican National Committee. The
Democrats are really amusing in
their efforts to explain why Harri- |
son was elected; some say it was
the treachery of Governor Hill and
Mayer Hewitt Of New York, while
others contend that the British
Minister'S letter was the document
that did tho work; but they all
agree in abusing Mr.. Brice, Chair
man of the Democratic National
Campaign Committee, for his stupid
management of the campaign.
Poor Brice. But, of course, q de-
fsated political party must have q
scape goat. The Democrats have
by general consent taken Brice.
One of the amusing incidents of
election night in Washington was
the action of Mr.. Cleveland. He
was So confident of being trium-
phantly reelected that he invited
quite party Of ladies and gentle
men to Join Mrs. Cleveland aad
himself at the White House in re-
,civing early returns from the cleo
ion, over the Presidents private
wire. Col. Lamont informed the ;

would he placed at their disposal,
md that all the private kilograms
eceived by Mr.. Cleveland would be
urned over to them as soon as they /

and's guests. Tuesday night came,
IS all things DO to those that wait, t

10 orders to place room at their Z

N oversight which the excitement .
+ the day rendered excusable, so q
hey sent messenger up request Il
ng Col. Lamont to come down. i
he messenger returned with the
tartling Information that he could

hook to the correspondents, but L
