WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent

Representative Hayes, of
Iowa, who is a wide a wake
democrat, stopped in Wash
ington long enough to leave
some good news FOR his par
ty friends. He says that Iowa
can confidently be counted
in the democratic column for
1892. OF the third party, he
said: "They could have done
something il they had shown
more Judgement, but they.
met there in Cincinnatti and
tried to make e party that
could stand on every sort of
crank theory that was pro-
posed. They merely got on
the platform and kissed each
other and let the cranks run
the convention. lido not be.
lieve they can organize now
SO as to have any influence
on the ele C t o n s in Iowa,
either this fall or in '92." Be-
ing asked who the republi-
cans would nominate for
President, Mr.. Hayes replied:
Harrison | think he is the
only man mentioned who
thinks there is enough in the
nomination to make it worth
fighting for, and the party
has got to take him. If Blaine
wanted the nomination all
that Harrison or anybody
else could do would not pre-
vent his gettinglt, but Blaine
understands the present con-
dition Of the republican par
ty so well that he doesn't t
want the nomination"
"There's going to be some
mighty liv ely democratic
music before long," said a
close friend Of Senator Cor
man to-day, "if a certain
class of men who are trying
to dictate the nextcandidate

man, which he increased by
his performance as aspeaker,
not seldom drawing upon
himself the dissatisfaction OF
his employers by mounting
a stump in the field and keep
ing the farm hands from
their work by little speeches
in iocose and sometimes also
a serious vein. At the rude
social trolics OF the set t e.
ment he became an impor-
tant person, telling funny
stories, mimicking the timer
ant preachers who had hap
pened to pass by, and ma
king his mark at wrestling
matches, too; for at the age
of II he had attained his full
height, six feet four inches in
his stockings, if he had any,
and a terrible muscular clod-
hopper he was. But he was
known never to use his eX-
traordinary strength to the
injury or humiliation of 9th
ers; rather to do them a
kindly turn, or to enforce
Justice and fair dealing be-
tween them. All this made
him a favorite in backwoods
society, although in some
things he appeared a little
odd to his friends. For more
than any of them, he was
given not only to reading,
but to fits of abstraction, to
quiet musing with himself,
and also to strange spells of
melancholy, from which he
would pass in II moment to
rollicking outbursts of droll
humor. But, on the whole,
he was one of the people a.
mong whom he lived; in ap-
pearance perhaps even a lit
tie more uncouth than most
OF them-a very TALL, raw
boned youth, with large fea-
lures. dark, shriveled skin,
and rebellious hair; his arms
and legs long, out OF proper

sers, which from frequent ex-
posure to the rain had shrunk
