CORRESPONDENT.

CORRESPONDENTS.
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 10, 1889.
The President returned to Wash.
ingtOn Wednesday, held a cabinet
meeting on Thursday besides trans
acting a considerable amount of
other business and this afternoon or
tomorrow he will 60 to Deer Park
again. and the chances are that
Washington will see him no more
for some weeks, he having almost
decided to hold the few cabinet
meetings that will be necessary
between now and September at
Deer Park. He finds that he can
do great deal more work at Deer
Park than in the White House.
Mrs. Harrison came with the Presi-
dent. She is not feeling very well
and thought the trip might benefit
her, and besides she wanted to look
after some domestic matters. She
returns to Deer Park with the
President.
Pension Commissioner Tanner
has decided to reorganize the medi.
cal division of his Office. Several
medical examiners who were DEM
ocrats were dismissed this week
and more are to follow shortly. 1t
is needless to say that their success
sors will in every case be good
republicans. There is no mug
wumpery about Commissioner
Tanner.
Attorney General Miller will
keep house during the remainder
Of his term. He has leased resi-
dence next door to one recently
leased by Chief Justice Fuller.
Judge Tyner, law officer of the
Post Office department has been
quite i'll for some days. He has
been taken to Deer Park by order
of his physician.
Hon. w. B. Richie, of Lima, Ohio,
who was in Washington this week
is q democrat but he openly &C.
knowledges his fear Of Foraker in
the coming gubernatOrial election,
and he does not stop there. He
says that if Foraker is elected he
will be the republican candidate
for President in 1892. 1t is very
kind of this gentleman to save the
republican party the trouble of
selecting its candidate in 1892. It's
rather early to be making predic-
tions, but from the way things look
at this time, the name of the repub-
lican candidate in 1892 will be
Benjamin Harrison.
The Ohio republican association
held an enthusiastic Foraker ratifi-
cation meeting this week. Sixth
Auditor Coulter, the man who
recently demanded the resignation
of every democratic chief of divis'
ion in his Office, was the speaker
that pleased the "boys" most.
Secretary Noble says that all the
talk about the cattle companies
making a lease with the Cherokee
Indians and preventing the Govern
ment from opening the Cherokee
strip from settlement, is the veries
bOsh.
Senator Quay is here engaged il
hunting a house for his family t.
occupy next winter. But that il
not all he has been doing. He hat
a long conference with the Presi
dent on matters political ant
several with Mr.. P. F. Herwig
chairman of the Louisiana Stat
committee on the same subject
besides he and Assistant POstmas
ter General Clarkson have, a
representatives of the NatiOna
republican committee, settled tn
wrangles in the ranks of the part!
in Virginia, at least as far as it is il
the power of that committee t.
settle it.
The Civil Service Commission
has dumped a nice mess into tn
Ian of Postmaster General Wana
maker. 1t consists of a lot
evidence taken by the Commission
in regard to violations of law b.
the post office officials at Crane
Rapids, Michigan. 1t is as choice
lot of swearing as anybody eve
saw outside of the pages of q sensa
tional novel. For instance, tw,
men made affidavit before tn
commission that they were CON
pelled by an official to pay q politi
cal contribution in October 1885,
under threat of dismissal. Tn
official charged with making thi
forced collection turned over to tn
commission affidavits made b,
these same men stating that the,
h.d not been asked to make an
