WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON. .LuNE

WASHINGTON, JUNE 20, 18SX
Everybody, including not few
democrats, is praising the grand
platform unanimously adopted hr
the Chicago convention. 1t breatbcs

referred to as "the father of tSo
House, says: sit will carry all the
doubtful states of the North, and
give us fair fighting chance IL,
Virginia, North Carolina, Tennesssa

Judge Kelley is concurred in bv ev
cry republican with whom your cor.
respondent has talked. This plat.
form is one of the grandest political
documents ever put forth, as embodv.
ing the views of a party. Every
republican in this broad land shoulS
feel proud Of the good work done bv
the representatives Of the party in
convention assembled. Before this
letter is in print the telegraph will
have informed you of the nominees
of the convention for President and
Vice President. They are sure to
be our strongest men. The dele.
gates who got up this platform, can
make no serious mistake, and after
all, with such glorious declaration
OF principle, it matters little who the
candidates are.
Since the st. Louis convention
Washington has been overrun with
New York democratic politicians.
and the most of private secretary
Dan. Lamont's time is taken up by
conferences with these gentlemen,
Some say that Cleveland's candidate
for Governor will be ex.Mayor

that private Secretary Lamont is
the favored individual. My own I'M.
preston is that Cleveland will hot
quarrel with Hill-he dare not, bat

The Senate has passed bill ap.
propriating $4,000 to pay the OK,

Senator Frye has presented his
report in favor OF the river and har
Dor bill. 1t appropriates more
money by $4,000, 900 than any other
similar bill ever passed by Congress.
The Nebraska Representatives
gave the rascalIy special agents of
the General Land Office terrible
scoring in the House Wednesday.
The House having finished with
the general appropriation bills, will
now resume the fight on the Mills

Con. Phil sherldan.a sxar.,.

During the entire war Gen. Sheridan
never wore but one sword, and he wears
the same one yet on all occasions of dis
play. It's light dragon saber, and one
OF a cargo shipped from Spain to Charles
ton for the use OF Confederate officers.
The vessel was captured in Charleston
harbor by the blockade, and the swords
were distributed among the various ar
senals OF the north, at which they were
sold to Union officers. The one which
Sheridan wears was sent to the armory
at st. Louis, and was purchased originally
by the adtutant Of the Second Michigan
cavalry, who wore 1t while and then
presented 1t to Sheridan. The original
scabbard was broken by having a horse
fall upon 1t, and new one was found to
fit the blade. The general has a number
OF presentation swords which have been
given him from time to time. Some Of
them are very valuable, and one, which
was presented by the Army Of the Cum
berland, Is mounted with gold and dia-
monds, but 1t is too fancy for the gen
erals taste, and nothing would induce
him to wear .-Philadslphia Times.

Near Weyman's, about eight
miles from Weston, there is a spring
which is attracting a great deal II
attention by its peculiar frekks. At
times the water in the spring sinks
completely out Of sight, leaving a

lasts but short time, when with a
rush and growl the spring suddenly
fills and throws strong volume of

the air. 1t is said the spring pro-
daces enough gas to light up a town
OF three or four thousand people.
