The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-12-01

another. 1t is said that a challenge
has already been sent. Everybody
is anxious to know what the out.
come will be. Both men are en-
pected here soon.
Mr.. Morton, Nioe-president-elect
paid Washington an unexpected
visit last week, He came ostensi-
bly, to look after his real estate
investments here, but before leav-
ing he held several conferences
with prominent members of his
party.
Hon. Perry Belmont, recently
appointed Minister to Spain, is
here to receive his final instrur-
tions from the State Department
before going to his post. 1t has
been intimated that Mr.. Blaine
would attempt to prevent the con-
firmation of Mr.. Belmont's nomina-
ton by the senate, in order to be
revenged upon this gentleman for
the clever manner in which he, as
chairman of the House committee
on foreign affairs, exposed Mr..
Blaine's manipulation of South
American affairs during the Shep-
herd investigation some years ago.
Perhaps Mr.. Blaine would like
very much to do so, but the fact
must be remembered that there
are quite a number of Republican
Senators who heartily dislike Mr..
Blaine, and who would much
rather do him an injury than a
favor. Mr.. Belmont is sure to be
confirmed, whether Mr.. Blaine tries
to prevent it or not.
Newspaper men here are pleased
with the selection of Mr.. Halford,
Editor of the indianapolis Journal,
for President-elect Harrison's pri-
yate Secretary. Mr.. Halford will
be fortunate if he succeeds in
making himself as popular as is
Mr.. Lamont.
One would think that the Repub-
ublicans ought to be satisfied with
the result of the recent election.
But they are not. Quay and Dud-
ley, in the Language of the street,
want the earth and all therein.
They will attempt, through both
State and Federal courts, to change
the result in Virginia. Ben But
Ter and ex-senator Henderson are
said to have advised this course.
Little Billy Malone is happy over
this determination on the part of
Quay and Dudley. 1t will prevent
or tim. ut least, his return to
the obscurity which he so richly
deserves, and he also hopes to
make this case peg upon which
to hang his expectation of future
from the Harrison administration.
There is new arrival in the
house of Col. Lamont. 1t is girP
and has been named Francis Fol-
som in honor of Mrs. Cleveland
Mr.. Cleveland has some very good
army berths to dispose of as soon
Is he gets a chance to decide who
hall have them. There are five
appointments in the staff, all very
desirable positions, also three
'adets-at-large to send to West
Point.
1t seems that every Republican
who arrives here has
candidate for Harrison's Cabinet,
nd will be mad if his man is not
elected. A little figuring will
how how many mad men there
will be in Congress when the Cabi- ,
et is announced.
1t is said here that Senator Sher-
lan believes that Governor Alger
f Michigan, prevented his getting
he Republican nomination for s
and that he is determin- {
d that Alger will not go into t
Iarrison's Cabinet if he can pre- f
ent it, and he Thinks he can. |
Another Republican Senator t
'ho is not pleased with the out
,ok is Don Cameron. Quay has
erved notice on him that he shall ,
OF be allowed to control the fed
raj patronage in Pennsylvania. f
hat is little job that Quay has II
rived for himself. Senator Blair u
also worrying for fear Harrison t
ill oppose his Educational bill. d
