Harrison is 10 longer confning himself
to secretly manipulating the wires that
are being laid TO secure him renomina-
ton in 1892. He is now openly a candi-
date; and no republican of any promin-
ence who visits him leaves the White
House without being mado aware of that
iac.' ana ne IS losing no opportunity of
making Ceals TO secure delegates TO the
next Republican national convention.
e Senator Bruce, to whom he gave the
second best local Office III the District of
Coium o!a; ex-Representative Lynch,
whom he made one of the Auditors OF
the treasury, and a negro named Eu-
rope, VINO holds position ID the Post
once department, are relied upon to
control the negro delegates from the
| South, and his own State has he thinks,
been made solid for him by Il; making
friends with Treasurer Huston. who
some time ago rendered his resignation

consideration by Mr.. and Mrs. Earri-
son.
Secretary Rusk, who has within
/ week taken occasion to publicly an
nounce not only that he vas not a can
dldate, but his support Of Mr.. Harrison.
Is confident that he can secure a solid
delegation frou his State, and the other
members OF the cabinet are ali working
10 do the same thing IN their respective
states. This has been made much easier
by the fact that the result Of the recent
election together with the attitude of
tie Republican leaders IN Congress on
the Force bill ard other matters to
which he Is opposed has removed all
desire on the part Of Mr. Blaine for the
nomination. He doesn't believe that
there IS hardly 4 possibility that any
Republican can be elected, therefore he
will lnterposo no objection to Mr. Har-
rison's being yindicated by renomina-
ton.
Senator Stockbridge, of Michigan,
feels about hundred per cent larger
than be did a week ago. He is credited
with having had Judge Bcown, Cf his
state, nominated to the vacancy on the
bCuCil VI the Du JISLlc CJuiJ III lilS lace
CT the active opposition OF his senatorial
clleagus, General Aigier, and Secretary
! Blaine, all OF whom supported another
Michigan candidate.
Old man Christmas knocked the Re.
publican leaders ii the Senate out il
the Er8t round. Mr. Hear refused tC
ove4 entertain the idea Of passing The
nsuai reeol a'ion for holiday recess, anC
stated that the Senate would be in ses
Q sion every day until the Force bin wa
4 passed, but he reckoned without count
ing the strong home attractions of ma
,, jorlty Of the Senator's of his party. B
:, Christmas eve the Senate was short Of
quorum and adjourned to Saturday; o
kday the number of Senators ha
q d. Rled to eighteen, and after fy
e mffnte session, devoted to prayer by th
chaplain, an adjournment was taken uG
til to-day. To day there is not quorur
IS present, but an effort viii be made b
the Republicans to continue the debat
on the election bill until quorum get
here 1t will hardly succeed though, a
:, it will be opposed ty the Democrats, wh
u will insist that nothing be done withou
+" quorum. The House is doing nothin
: for the same reason, and it looks {
r. though things would remain in the sam
e condition for the rest Of this week
