WASHINGTON LETTER.
(Frou onr Regular Correspondent

Harrison will be a dead man in
less than three months if the horde of
greedy Office seekers do not cease
prosecuting him. Already his right
arm is famed and his complexion has
the suspicious cLalky white appear
ance of i'll health But the crowd
still comes marching on, fairly falling
over each other in their eagcrness to
reach the ear of the President. Such
a gang was never before seen in
Washington. II was thought at the
beginning of Mr.. Cleveland's admin
stration that the pressure for office
was great, but compared with that
now going on, it was as a summer
zephyr to an untamed Dakota biz
zard. Every man except those that
have died, that ever held Office under
a republican administration is here
clamoring for vindication in The share
Of an appointment to his old place or
to better one, and in addition there
are thousands Of men vino are after
getting their first taste Of official life.
These last think the Government
service needs a liberal infusion of new
blood, provided, of course, that they
furnish it. Between them they are
making torment for Mr.. Harrison
as great as any that ever existed on
this earth, and there is little chance
of change until everything worth
scrambling for is given out. In the
meantime Mr.. Harrison worst enemy
could not wish him worse punishment
than he is daily undergoing.
Senator Hampton thinks that e1-
Governor Thompson will be nominated
as the democratic member Of the
Civil Service Commissioner. lie was
nominated by Mr.. Cleveland, and
would have been confirmed had his
name been sent in before the repubi-
cans passed caucus resolution
against any more political confrma-
tons.
Ex-Secce!ory Whitncy has sold his
Washington residence to Postmaster
General Wanamaker for $4,000. Mr..
Whitney will take two months trip
to Europe before settling down to
work in New York. The rest of Mr..
Clevelands cabinet except Mr.. Endi-
colt, are still here. Mr.. Dickinson
went to New York with Mr.. Cleve-
lands party last week, but he has
returned.
There's a big row in the republic
can camp already. 1t is question
of veracity between Harrison and ex-
Governor Alger. Alger told the
Michigan delegation that Harrison
had expressed great regret on account
Of having to leave i.im (Alger) out of
the cabinet, and that as a slight com
pensation the President had told him
that he might name a man for Solici-
tor General. He named II. NJ. Duff
field, whom he asked the delegation
to endorse, at the same time assuring
them that it was only a formalitv:
that the appointment would be con-
sidered personal, and would not be
charged to the State. The deleca-
ton endorsed the application ard
carried it Immediately to Mr.. Harri-
son. The delegation was struck dumb
when the President told them he
knew nothing about the matter, and
that they had better file the appl;ca-
ton with til. Attorney General
What transrired when the delegation
got back to Alger is not vet known.

DEATH Of WK BTCktsGH.4.N NfG-
TN.

In one If our Alabama exchanges
We find taken from the Mont gomerv
Advertiser the announcement of the
death of the allowed named gentleman.
He was one Of the most brilliant men
that Alabama ever produced. His
eye sparkled with brilliancy and his
lounge never failed to express his
thoughts in eloquence. The writer
remembers we'll to have attended a
public speaking where the subject OF
this notice and Hon. Mr.. Harris wsre
to speak. They were candidates for
Congress from the district now repre-
sented by Mr.. Fl. Forney. Although
a boy Of fifteen we were charmed by
the eloquence Of this gifted speaker.
Returning home with our father We
expressed our admiration of Col. VIM.
B. Martin, and said, Pa, which one
will you vote for?' The reply was.
Mr.. Harris" We again ventured
another interrogatiory, and said, PA,
why do you vote for Mr.. Harris,
isn't Col Martin a man of ability"
With bold and positive look he
replied, "son, | always vote for the
sober man when choosing between
two" They were both Democrats.
The deceased had refyrmed and
was member Of the Baptist church
for several years before his death.
The following from the Montgomery
will not fail to interest
our readers, especially those from
Alabama as Col. Martin was we'll
known by them:
his SUN HAS SET.
There are many Alabamians who
remember the brilliant VIM. B. Msr-
tin, who once SO ably represented
Calhoun county in the State Senate,
and in the House of Representatives
in the days of Yancey and other
famous men Of the times before the
war. He was equal to any intellec-
tual emergency. He was in public
life only once after the war, and that
was as a member of the Legislature
from another county. Etowah, if We
not. The following from the
birmingham News gives notice of his
death, and there is much of sadness
in the thought that he should so com
pletely have dropped out Of sight in
these rushing, crushing days:
"He was long ago, famous Ala
bamian. who died few days ago in
Tennessee, nearly 50 years
Of age. He spent most of his life in
Jacksonville, in this State, often
serving in both branches ofthe legis-
lature OF Alabama In 1874 he was
elcctor for the State at large and
voted for Polk and Dallas. In 1853
he was the eloquent and able Presi-
iert Of the State Senate. Like frank
Bow1er.. his was wonderfully clear
and incisive intellect; his fancy was
gorgeous and his oratorical powers
rarely equa!ed. He was generous to
! fault, and of course, a spehdthrift,
wasting wealth of perse and of genius
IN tribes. Alabama boosted of no
more brilliant jurist and advocate.
md vet this extraordinary man.
William Buckingham Martin, died
asst week almost unbonored and IN
ung, at the modest home of his !
athers in Tennessee He had sur
lived the generation which his in
e.lect instructed and eloquence
When the Joshus of
ou:hern politics stopped the sun Of

q 1T backward, the orator and
.eamer and enthusiast was over
belmed and now has disappeared
