OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 29.-Mr. Harrison is
no longer combining himself to secretly manipu-
denomination in 1892. He is now openly candi-
date; and no Republican OF any prominence who
visits him leaves the White House without being
made aware of that fact and he is losing no OPP
portunity of making deals to secure delegates to
the next Republican national convention. EX-
Senator Bruce; to whom he gave the SECOND best
sentative Lynch whom he made one ofthe Audi
tors of the Treasury, and negro named Europe,
who holds position in the Post Office 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 his making friends with
Treasurer Huston, who some time ago rendered
his resignation in a huff because he thought him.
self and wife had not been treated with sufficient
consideration by Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison.
Secretary Rusk, who has within week taken
occasion to publicly announce not only that he was
not a candidate. but his support OF Mr.. Harrison,
is confident that he can secure solid delegation
from his State, and the other members of the Cabi
net are all working to do the same thing in their
respective States This has been made much
easier by the fact that the result of the recent cleo
ton. together with the attitude of the Republican
leaders in Congress OIL the Force Bill and other
matters to which he is opposed, has removed all
desire on the part OF Mr.. Blaine for the nominal
ton. He doesn't believe that there is hardly a
possibility that any Republican can be elect
ed therefore he will interpOSe no objection to Mr.
Harrison's being indicated 4, by denomination;
hundred per cent. larger than he did a week ago =
He is credited with having had Judge Brown. of
his State, nominated to the vacancy on the bench
of the Supreme Court in the face of the active op
position Of his Senatorial colleague, General Alger
and Secretary Blaine, all OF whom supported
another Michigan candidate.
Christmas knocked the Republican leaders in the
Senate out in the first round. Mr.. Hoar refused to
luton for a holiday recess and stated that the
Senate would be in session every day until the
Force bill was passed, but he reckOned without the
strong home attraction of majority of the Sena-
tors of his party. BY Christmas Eve the Senate

down to 1S and after five minute session, devoted
to prayer by the Chaplain, an adjournment was
present. but effort will be made by the Republic
cans to continue the debate on the election bill
until quorum gets here. 1t will hardly succeed
though. as it will be opposed by the Democrats,
who will insist that nothing be done without a
quorum. The House is doing nothing tor the same
reason and IL looks as though things would re-
main in the same condition Tor the rest OF this
week.

ion, which. if it holds good, will enable Mr.. Har-
son to turn the Worlds Fair into a mammoth
Harrison machine by appointing an army OF polltl-
cal heelers to do imaginary work towards prepar-
ing for the exposition, while their real work will
be for Mr.. Harrison and the Republican party.
The anti silver Republicans, who are all in favor
of the Force Bill, do not derive much satisfaction
from the expected arrival of two votes for that
measure in the persons OF the new Idaho Senators,
because both of those Senators are understood to
be enthusiastic friends of free silver coinage
These anti-sver Republicans are opposed to any
financial legislation OF any kind at this session,
and they only agree to the financial bill recently

have at last had their eyes opened, and they are
threatening to make the fur fly as soon as the ho
day absentees get back.
Commissioner Raum has been compelled by
Secretary Noble to write letter in favor Of the
bill now pending to reduce the Attorneys fee fol-
obtaining an increase in pension to 81. The attor
ney's lobby still boldly and confidently announce
their ability to defeat the bill. G. A. S.
