that could get himself before the public ey
means of newspaper interviewsdid so, many
of them to their everlasting regret. Now
every one Of them is on a"stiil hunt. fou
would never know from the hotel registers
ANYTHING Of this sudden influx of the brood
political, for the very good reason that
those of them who have not stopped at the
private resid ences Of personal friends nave
taken special pains to keep sheir names
from the public registers of the hotels at
which they are domieiled and have besides
requested the clerks, and even the walters
in some instances, under no circumstances
to let any borrid newspaper men know that
they were in the house. But the newspaper
men knew it all the same, as they usually
do yerything of any Importance that is 60
ing on in Washington.
1t is not probable, judging frem the best
information obtainable, that the public
curiosity regarding the successor to Secre-
tary Proctor will be gratified before the
first of November, upon which date that
gentleman will assume the Senatorial
toga''-the temptation to use this time
worn expression is irresistible. There is
story here that is plausible ifnot true, TO
the effect that Attorney General Miller is
to be made one Of the Circuit Court JUS
tices and that Secretary Noble is to be
made Attorney General, thus making two
vacancies in the Cabinet. There may be
no better foundation for this than the
know desires of the two men. Mr.. Miller
has long been credited " ith having Judicial
aspirations, although it was supposed to
be Supreme Court chair upon which his
ambition was set, and 1t is well-known
that Mr.. Noble would find the purely legal
duties of the holder of the Attorney Gener-
ais portfolio far more eongenial than the
manifold responsibilities and harrassing
duties which deyolve upon the man who
presides over the departments of the
Interior.
Ohio politics i; sa5i ,et th,t is mloh
talked about in Washington as well as
elsewhere, just now, and for that reason
a rumor which has found its way here may
be interesting enough to repeat, 1t is. most
ass redly, if it be true. 1t says that the
apparent rivalry between Senator Sherman
and eA.Goy. Foraker for the Senatorship
is but sham adopted for the purpose of
bringing out the full Republican vote, and
tha there is a perfect understanding be-
tween the two that if the Republicans
carry the legislature Senator Sherman is to
be reelected and is then to resign in favor
of Foraker who is to be elected Senator.
Only three members of the Cabinet are
now absent. They are Secretary Blaine,
who is expected here by the first of October;
Secretary Proctor, who is making a tour
of the Western Military posts, and Secre-
tary Foster, WHO is away on fishing trip
according to the officials under him, but
who is thought to be in reality on very
important political mission, the result of
which may deeply concern Mr.. Harrison.
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing
is turning out large quantity of the Win
dom 50 certificates, which are to be put in
circulation on the first of October, to take
the place of the counterfeitcd Hancock GER
tificate; which will be retired as fast as
they come into the possession of the gov
ernment.
The officials at the NatioLal Farmers
