 WASHINGTON, D. c. Nov. IS, 1889. | Senator Sherman, who is always cool
 headed expresses his opinion of the re-
 cent overturn Is as follows: "The most
 serious result of the recent elections is
 the harding of the times, caused by the
 distrust of the financial policy of the in-
 coming house of representatives. All sorts of schemes of the
 widest character will be proposed, and
 whatever may be the outcome they will make capital timid and arrest many
 enterprises that were n the point of be-
 ing executed. The first effect of this
 may b. seen in the present panicky con-
 dition of the New York money market
 The tariff act would heve set on foot
 many new industries which will be pre- | vented or delayed by the doubt created
 as to the industrial policy of the future. The exuberant joy in foreign markets
 over cur elections is the best evidence of the danger we have to meet. Fore igners do not understand the cOnserva-
 tive nature of our institutions, which re-
 quire more than one election to change
 our policy, but timid men among us will
 be affected by the hopes and expeeta-
 tons of foreign manufactures and will not engage in competetiOn until satis- fled of the stability of our protection policy.
 And then who can tell what will be our standard of value? The immediate fall of silver upon the happening of an election IS an indication of distrust and alarm The policy of tying together gold and silver, with an increase of cur. rency, gave an hopeful outlook for the future, but a renewal of the contest for the free coinage of silver will cause an expOrtatiOn or hOarding of gold and a relative falling of silver. Our only course as republicans IS to maintain and strengthen our industrial policy on the line we have pursued in the hope that by the next election the people will be convinced by the test of time that the tariff act will not increase prices, but will advance home industries.
 The president is credited with having coined new name for those republicans who voted against their party at the late elections. He calls them "brsvet democrats.
 Senator SpOoner has arrived here. He does not appear at all cast down on the the defeat of the party in Wisconsin He says it was the school question which made it impossible for the republicans to win in that state. NIT. Spooner thinks the republicans will go on with their business at the coming session of con- gross just as though there has been no election, and he has no doubt of the passage of the election bill by the sen ate.
 Senator Platt is also in town this week. He says the Connecticut legisla- tor is all right, and that he expects to De his own successor in the the senate.
 The shre wdest of the democrats have became very much alarmed at the pros oect ahead of their party, and an at ,empt IS being made to put an end to he bitter fight, which has already be- yun over the speakership and the other officers of the next house. Senator Cor nan has tiguratlvely speaking, read the .iOt ack to quite a number of the small CT fry loud mouthed members of his party, and Representative O'Ferrall, of Virginia, who was sort of democratic eader m the house during the last ses- 'iOn, has been talking right out loud bout what the democrats will have to they don't want to be showed under in S92, Ee says: ''The great mass of the 'eOple love country more than party, md two years hence they will rise up Igainst us If We make fools of cur elves. All of which is true but it losn't stop the speakership fight, into which the democrats are jumping blind Oldsd and striking out right and left. There are already twenty candidates nd the number is constantly increas- ng. Of course, large majority of the O. called candidates are only having heir names mentioned for the purpose f getting good committee places. The ght IS a triangular one between the outh the west and the narth and East.
 It is already apparent that Mr. Cleve- and and Governor Hill are both to fig re in the speakership contest, no mat er how much against their wills it may e. The Mills crowd are banking on the upport of Mir. Cleveland, but it is said hat there IS man elected to the house rom New York district who has a rlOr claim, and one that the ex-presi- ent cannot ignore, even If so disposed.
 I have reason to believe that Secre- ary Blame has a pleasant surprise in tore for the country on the inter sting subject of reciprocity. He has adhered a mass of interesting data rom the reports of ministers and con- ular agents of this country stationed broad, and it is expected that it will be ubmitted to Congress, together with ertain recommendations of Mir. Blaine as 0 how it should be utilized for the 'enetit of this country.
