 ID the Departments here, who have beer | during Uleveland's administration loud | ly calling for 'cleRn sweep, have beer
 suddendly converted into believers in 6
 non-psrtlssn civil service. But 1t IS
 not probable that this eleventh hour re.
 pentance will keep them in office under
 a republican administration. The peo-
 pie of the country have, by large ma
 jority, decided that they want the af-
 fairs of this Government administered by republicans, which means in unmis-
 tnksble language that the democratic
 officials both high sI d low must go. In
 this country the voice of the people IS a law from which there is no appeal.
 Secretary Fairchild, after four months
 having the Treasury officials stumpIng s
 the country for Cleveland, has discover
 ed thstfor the employees, of the depart
 ment to talk politics is detrimental to
 the service, and has issued an order pro-
 hibitIng it. His sincerity would have
 been more generally believed in, had be
 made the discovery three or four months
 ago.
 People herr, irrespective of politics. sympsthize with Mrs. Cleveland, now
 that she news has got out that within two months after inauguration dsy 8 stranger IS expected Tn the Cleveland family. The ladies particularly regret that Washington IS not to have White House baby to rave over.
 Washington always has excitement of some kind, Just Bs the election feeling was quieting down a little, came the an- nouncement early this week of rreasu. " robbery. Rumor placed the amount away up in the millions st first, but up- on investigation 1t was found that only Sl ,5C0 was stolen, and the Express com pany will have that to pay. The money was stolen somewhere between the U, 5, Mint at New Orleans and the Treasury Department iu this city. The Govern meut seals on two boxes were broken and Sl,OO0 taken from one, and $500 from the other in silver dollars, and lead substituted therefor Detectives are trying to locate the theft.

 Sena,,os Quay, vi ho ;his week moved ihe headquarters of the national com mittee from New York to this city, is the lion of the hour. He reviewed an enthusiastic procession of nearly 10000 local republicans Wednesday night. and the cheers they gave him as they passed the reviewing stand would have made any man in this country proud. Every republican ID the United States should feel under personal obligations to Sena- tor Quay, for the great victory he has won.
 Indications are rapidly multiplying to prove that the democrats propose msk ing a desperate Rttemp. to steal the House of Representatives. from the re publicans, who have honestly elected a majority of the members. The method adopted for this attempted steal is in every way worthy of and in keeping with the history of the democratic party. For some days after election they conceded the house to the republicans b. from to 20 majority. That threw the republicans entirely off their guard. I be democrats then began 10 clGim ev- cry close district in the states where they could count on the control of the election machinery and the courts. And they are now boldly claiming msjori- | ty iu the house. In the mean time the | managers have been hard ct work trying to prevent this unblushing | fraDd, and Senator Q1ay assures your core spondent that the republicans will | organize the next house. and | that their majority will De materially in- | creased as soon as the contestees of the | stolen seats can have their cases heard | by the house.
