Washington special: There is a report to.
night that Harrison and Noble are urging
Gen. Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, to
come out for commsnder-in-chief of the
Grand Army, in opposition to Tanner.
The cabinet ministers are afraid that If
Tanner should be made chieftain of the
Grand Army there would be no standing

entertained for Alger in administration
circles, az he is looked upon as danger
Gus man in 1882, but the feeling that the
Tanner nuisance should be abated dwarfs
everything else at present. The pension
sharks at Washington are not anxious for
Tanner for the chieftaincy because of his
notorious favOritism of Lemon and Dudley
In making cases special But Dudley ano
Lemon have more influence than all the
other sharks put together, and they
are for Tanner every time. Lemon

Dudley was present at the Pennsylvania
republican convention and for three days

pretty generally understood that Dudley

treasury department in regard to the opera

the Canadian border. He says that his in

desire on the part Of the people 70 comply

in which its enforcement would work great
hardship and serve no good purpose. II

"that 1 find no opposition in the enforce

OLYMPIA, Aug. 12.-The day has beer
spent in a fight over woman suffrage
which has been kept out of the constitution
and will not be permitted to go 70 the peo-
pie until next year. Eldridge moved to
strike out the word ''male'' from the article
on elective rights prescribing who shall
have the right of suffrage. His motion
WIS lost The convention being in COM
mittee of the whole, an effort was made by
Dunbar TO leave the question OF woman
suffrage to the legislature, but this was
strongly opposed on the ground that it
would continue to be a disturbing element
in politics. Stiles said it would be as sensi-
bic to leave the whole question OF elective
rights to the legislature as this one branch
of it
This seemed to strike Grifiths favorably,
and he moved that the legislature should
settle the whole question, but this was as
bad, as il might let in both Indians and
Chinese. The motion was badly showed

An effort was then made TO deprive women
of the right to vote at school elections, but
il was defeated. On the question whether

matter goee over till November, 1890. An
effort was also made to incorporate the
section giving women the right to vote In
conventions, but the motion was lost.
