WASHINGTON.

PRESIDENT Harrison returned to |
Washington from Cape May today,
but will go away again soon. In fact
the time between trips seems to be
principally occupied in deciding
where he shall 60 next. He will go
most anywhere provided he is
allowed to deadhead. He went to
Cape May and returned as guest of
the Pennsylvania railroad. His con-
duct in this respect is in marked con-
trast with that of Mr.. Cleveland, who
accepted no favors from railroads,
but always paid his fare like other
passengers, but that isn't the only
contrast to be observed between the
two men by long shot.
Hon. Samuel j. Randall, with his
family, has gone to Pennsylvania for
the summer. 1t will be good news
to democrats everywhere to learn
that Mr.. Randall has entirely re-
covered his health. The day of his
departure he expressed himself as
feeling better than for several years.
The only Virginia appointment of
any consequence made last week was
a Malone man to be U. S. Attorney
for the western district of the State.
Still Malone has no "pull" on the
administration. Oh, No.
Harrison is evidently afraid ofsome
of the pOstmasters that Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson is APP
pointing. He took occasion to tell a
delegation that he was notresponsible
for the fourth class postmasters APP
pointed.
Calvin S. Brice, chairman of the
National Democratic committee, it is
said will be a candidate for the
United States Senate from Ohio, to
succeed Mr.. Payne, who declines
again being a candidate. Ohio will
do herself proud if she sends Mr..
Brice to the Senate.
About | 900 ex- Union soldiers en-
pect to get back to the public trough
through Harrison's changing Of the
civil service rule limiting the time in
which discharged employees from the
classified service may be reinstated.
Blaine is the "funny man" of the
cabinet. He tells Harrison funny
stories and the other boys laugh.
He'll make them do something else
before this administration comes to
an end.
Hon. S. S. ('Sunset'D Cox has gone
on an extended Western trip. He
will deliver Fourth of July Grafton

, motto of the Patriotic Sons o
America, an organization that helt

with Harrison because he refused
to allow one of their badges to b,
pinned on his coat when they called
at the White House.
