of mind on the part of II of them.
That becomes palmer and palmer .ey-
cry day to those familiar with the in
| side work OF the administration, Mr.,
Harrison has finished his message, anu
il has been shown TO every member
ofihe cabinet. except Mr.. Blaine. Thc
reason for this action on the part o.!
| Mr., Harrison is that he has gone di-
rectly contrary to the views OF Mr..
| Blaine on at least two important mat
tiers dealt with by the message, and he
has delayed showing the message to
Mr.. Blaine tearing that ii might cause
an open row between them. OF course
it will have to be shown to the Secre-
tary of State before Congress meets,
| but there will be no trouble, so far as
Mr.. Blaine is concerned. lie made up
bis mind when the Mckinley bill be.
came q law that the republican party
was doomed, and since that time lie
has moi bothered his head with matters
outside of his hobby, reciprocity.
The leaders of his party have nearly
all turned to him aslhssMoses toslead
them out of the wilderness, and that
is what is SO CALLING to MFR. Harrison,
| who wants vindication in tire shape Of
q denomination; but IL of Mr.. Blaine's
warmcst and closest personal friends
told me that unless there should come
a great change in the prospects of the
republican party before 1892, MIR. Blaine
would under no circumstances accept
the nomination. One defeat being
xui!e enough for him.
Unless a prominent Government Of
fetal is Off in his predictions, there will
be a vacancy in the office of Commits
sioner of Pensions between this and
January, Mr.. Harrison having fully
decided that Raum shall so.
T.ic Congressional lame ducks a.
mong the republicans are all trying to
pick out something under the Govern
ment that will enable them to keep
hold of the public teat after the 4lh Of
next March, but it will be a difficult
matter TO provide Tor even a small
lumber OF them.
One of the principle occupations of
the republican leaders just now is stiff.
fleming up the political Iackboues OF
the small.fry congressman as they get
in. About three out of four OF fhem
want to revise the Mckinley tariff law
at the coming session. That, the lead
ers are determined to prevent if posi-.
bic.
Several of the candidates for speak
er have opened headquarters here,
but there are not enough Of the mem
bcrs.clcct of the Fifty. second Congress
vet here TO make r lively contest. But
they will all be here q little later, as an
| extra session is believed to be almost
certain, which will make it necessary
10 elect the Speaker about nine months
earlier than if there was no meeting
until December next.
The Farmers Alliance and its future
movements is much discussed by re-
turning Congressman, and many of
them believe that a consolidation Of il
and the labor organizations will take
| place before the next Presidential cam
paigu. The republicans fear the or.
ganization most, because it antagoni-
yes the principles of that party most.
With two or three exceptions any good
democrat could support the platform
of the alliance.
The fight for free and unlimited sill.
yer coinage is TO be renewed as soon
as Congress meets and a powerful
weapon, in the appointment of n sue.
cessor to Chairman Congcr, of the
House committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, who resigned 10 90 to
Brazil as U. S. minister, is in The hand.
of Speaker Reed. Mr., Reed is one OF
the bitterest opponents of free coinage
in the IIonse, but for all that it is moi
certain, although it is probable, that
he will put an anti.silver man at the
head of that committee. The commit
tee is said to be now evenly divide OIL
the question, so that in deciding upon
the new member of the committee
Speaker Reed will really decide whcth
er the committee shall report a fret
coinage bill.
Speaking Of Mr.. Reed, the Rcpubli
cans are very much worried because
certain democrats have determine,
that Il democratic committee of tn
next House shall investigate the meth
Cd by which lie was elected. There !
DO contest, nor is there TO be-, but II !
