WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-Good-bys are the
order of the day just now. A good many
statesmen are giving their last days of public
! services to the nation, and are utilizing their
spare time in packing their effects in prep
aration to depart on the 5th of March.
They are the ones who are saying good-by
Tier successors are dropping in one by one.
A good many of the arrivals have numerous
acquaintance here, having previously had
congressional or other duties
Mr.. Cleveland will probably not be in any
haste about removal 1t is expected that he
time, but will go to New York for his per-
manent residence. u...
Mr.. Garland is to remain here perma-
nently. -,... I...
Postmaster General Dickinson will, it Is
understood, arrange for winter home here.
He has hut one child remaining, and fearing
that the severe winter of his Michigan home
may prove injurious to her health, he will,
it is understood, make Washington his home
every winter hereafter 1t is also under
stood that he intends to spend more or less
of his time in New York in the line of his
profession. .,... .,.,. a..
Mr.. Villas, Mr.. EndicoGt and Mr., Fairchild
pull out of their respective homes shortly
after the 4th OF March.
Mr.. Whitney will remain here some time,
and viii probably retain Washington resi-
dencc
Mr.. Bayard, who has his home here, will
be more or less i'll Washington whether in
public life or not. ..4 .. ..
In hesenate the farewells and greetings are
numerous. Senator Sabin, who came here
six years ago heralded as an addition to the
family of millionaires, goes out with a les
sened fortune, but with the kindly regards of
his fellow senator's. Mr.. Washburn, who
succeeds him, tall, handsome gentleman,
with iron-gray side whiskers, sharp features
and keen eyes, is well known and well liked
here. He was member of the house for
several years.
Washburn and Sabin never were friends.
Mr.. Sahin's sudden accession to wealth did
not please the conservative sort of million
aires, to which class Mr. Washburn belongs.
WaShburn's fortune was accumulated by the
slow but sure process, and it was not agree
able to him to sec millionaire of q day
jump over his head into the senate. So il is
with good deal of internal satisfaction that
Mr.. Washburn now sinks into the seat which
Mr.. Sabin held six years. n ,a.".
Thin, round shouldered, white haired Ell
Sauls ury, the oldest looking man in the
senate probably, bids good-by forever to his
friends, for he will not enter public life
again, as he seyenty-two years old. g,~ -"
Tbs tall, iniddle-aged man ON the other
side, with brown whiskers and mustache and
red face who says good-by to his fellow
members, is William Riddleberger, of Vir-
ginia. 1t must be confessed that very few
people mean what they say when they tell
him they are sorry he is going. He has been
very disagreeable to his associates, and it is
safe to say that nine out Of ten of them are
glad he is gone. His successor, Mr. Barbour,
is we'll known bore, and has been long time
in the house.
The broad -shouldered, pleasant faced man
who sits near is Senator Palmer, of Michi-
gan, Everybody is sorry that Palmer is
SoihS' 11e is popular anu pleasant, ana
with his beautiful home and princely en-
tertainments, has added to the popularity
which his genial personal ways give him.
His successor is not known here in q social
way. . .'t...i. ..1f
The full brown-bearded man with gold
bowed glasses, who takes occasion to remark
on southern outrages at every opportunity,
is Mr.. Chandler, Everybody from the south |
is secretly delighted that he goes, whether
for long or for short nobody can tell, as the |
election of his successor does not take place |
until next July. -H 49, |
