y WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Feb. 27.-The
sentiment in favor of Mellette has grown
and strengthened within the past
twenty-four hours. The North and
South are together. Senator Moody and
Gov. Ordway met in the Ebbitt and en-
tered into private conversation at once,
and it has continued fer nearly All hour.
These gentlemen are typical represent
atiyes of the two states in this
city. Like Sherman and Johnston,
at the capltuIation of the latter. they
may well say, 'Whatever we agree
upon will be accepted as good law by
ALL" 1t is understood that Ordway
wants to see Maj. Edwards and Alec
Mckenzie, who are expected daily, be-
fore giving his final decision on the
governorship to succeed Church, but
whatever Ordway concludes, the others
will undoubtedly indorse. Moody has
stood here for South Dakota, and Ord
way for the rights of North Dakota
during the entire struggle over the on-
nibuS bill.
The rumors and assertions of report
ers and correspondents concerning the
attitude of Minnesota senators and Re-
publican representatives and their
actions on the Window matter are not
founded on fact. Mr.. Window arrived
this morning, and registered at the
Ebbitt. He has seen Gen. Harrison by
appointment, but is as silent as the
grave. He looks satisfied, and says he
intends to be here next week. Concern
ing the attitude of Minnesota men in
this matter, Senator Sabin says: 81
have made no formal protest to Pres
ident Harrison, and have no intention
to do so unless invited by him to express
my views. have no expectations that
such invitation will be extended as |
have heard it repeatedly stated by lead
ing Republican senators nd members
of c0hgress that their counsels have not
been sought either directly or indirectly
Oh this Or other cabinet appointment"
''How would the people of Minnesota
regard the selection of MI. Window for
a cabinet position?"
81 do not believe the prairies are on
fire with enthusiasm for Wind0m's
appointment. and do not know of a
single member of the Minnesota dele
CATION, either in the present congress or
the next, and aside from Senator-elect
Washburn, who has given favorable
expression regarding this appointment,
[ have no doubt but they will acQuiesce
If the appointment is inevitable, with
good grace and with-as good nature
as the exigencies of the case
will permit notwithstanding the
very free expressions OF the
opinion that this appointment will open
up Odd sores and tare the party all to
pieces. have heard few expressions
[,f xrbiia rOopy iodiaetinpc
of disgust are freely announced. The
interests of the party in New York
would be better subserved by recogniZ-
ing both factions of that state than by
galvanizing old political manakins."
Senator Davis declined to be inter-
viewed Or make any statement what
ever on the subject.
The Wisconsin senators and men,
bers shake their heads gloomily when
RuSk's name is mentioned, and they
have evidently lost heart if not hope.
Senator Sawyer, in company with
Myron McCord, of Marinette, visited
Gen. Harrison this morning in RuskS
interest, and Senator SpOoner again
saw Gen. Harrison this afternoon.
Neither Senator will give a public eX-
preston of his views. Wisconsin's repre-
Sentatiyes are equally taciturn. Rusk's
show is almost gone, apparently, but
they all say "Rusk will be provided for
in some way satisfactory to himself and
to Wisconsin,"
Gov. .Ordway and Jud La Moure visited
Gen. Harrison tonight and had a long
interview-that is, longer than might
have been expected, considering the
crowd present. All are anxious for an
opportunity to see and greet the coming
man. They were with him fully ten
minutes.
