From Washington.

Cape May, the administration organs
would make believe that everything is
lovely in the republican camp, Or as ii
was expressed in war times, "All is
we'll on the Potomac" They would
have it understood that Harrison and
Blaine have the most cordial affection
/ for each other, and that Blaine and
Reed embrace every time they meet.
Perhaps they do but from motives Of
de!icacy, no doubt the evidences Of
their Damon and Pythias friendship
are carefully concealed from the pub
lie. Indeed the relations of the two
Maine men are SO well understood here,
and society has keen understanding,
thai they are never invited to sit down
OF the same table. Possibly though,
they will give more evidences Of broth
erly love in the future, particularly as
both are after the presidential chair in
1892.
In truth, Blaine never would have
been >anbnei "y the ways and means

Tom Reed MT wen 1t nut that the
Speaker and NJ t.e Secretary Of state
was Responsible fnr legislation. The
fact is, the republican purity is leading
cat aud dog life just now. Harrison
it is true, to subserve his own ambition
has attempted to patch up peace and
the invitation to Cape May was solely
to placate Blaine The secretary, how
ever, is not the man to throw up his
hand when he hos the trumps, and
the series o. interviews held il the
syndicate cottage, resulted as 1t always
does in the weake, being compelled to
accept the conclusions of the stronger
man. Harrison, therefore, left Cape
May Blaine captive, and not Blaine
a Harrison captive. The secretary has
without doubt won the fight, at least

The republicans Of the senate have
