WASHINGTON LETTER.


WA5hlNGAoNt august IL 1901.
Secretary Foster is again at his desk. He
says he has not single doubt in the world
Of the election of Mckinley and a Republi-
can legislature in Ohio, and now that the
third party has shown its true colors, he has
no fear that it will be able to control enough
votes to amount to anything in the coming
election. The Secretary smiled when asked
if it was true, as stated by the Democrats,
that he was annoyed because the holders of
the AZ per cent bonds were not coming for
ward faster to get those bonds extended at
| ? per cent, and said that there was nothing
in the situation to be ANNOYED about; the
government had offered to extend these
bonds if the holders wished them extended
at ? per cent, but ifthey didn't wish them
extended they have only to wait until they
! mature next month to receive the cash for
them. There is no cOmpulsion about it. In
/ fact Mr.. Foster thinks it will be more bene-
fetal to the public to redeem fifteen OF
twenty million Of dollars worth of these
bonds thsh-it would be to continue them, as
the money paid out to redeem them will be
Just that much added to the money in circu-
luton Just at the time It will be needed in
business circles. Mr.. Foster said shat the
report of a disagreement between himself
and Senator Sherman ia regard to these
bonds was an entire fabrication without the
slightest foundation.
Postmaster General Wanamaker is away
on his vacation, but he is still devoting CON
siderable thought to improving the postal |
service, and has just directed that a reform |
be made in the delivery of letters having |
special delivery stamps on them. IN future /
when a letter is taken to the address given |
and the party is found to be out, printed |
notification similar to those used by telegraph
messengers will be leh. Heretofore it has
been customary to take the letter back to the
Office, where it was sent out by the regular
carrier on his next trip.
Senator Plumb with his hard horse sense
way Of looking at things always has views
worth listening to. For instance, he says it
is entirely too soon to begin discussing ma
tional politics That the proper time to be-
gin will be when the next Congress has
shown its intention. OF the reported aspir-
atoms of ex-Congressman Kelley to succeed
him in the Senate he said 'This is a free
country anybody can aspire to any Office " {
It was apparent, however, that the Senator
was no ways alarmed on account of Mr. q
Kelley's aspirations. Mr.. Plumb says that '
in his opinson not a single Southern State c
will drop out of the Democratic column in
1892, and that be has no doubt Of the cleo a
toral vote Of Kansas being cast for the Repub- }
ican ticket as usual Speaking Of the prob {
able Democratic candidate for the Presi- e
1ency 81 will not attempt to prophecy fur Il
her than to say that Campbell will not be s
he man, for Mckinley is going to be the &
1ext Governor Of Ohio and that will elimi- o
late Campbell as a Presidential factor" o
Great preparation are being made for the il
democratic circus which is to take the road v
rom this city early in September and ex- s
iibit in a number of towns between here and f
he Pacific Coast during the forty days sea- Il
on it is to be out. This circus idea was Il
'rouRht 10 light at the meeting Of the Ex-
cutive Committee Of the National Associa- e.
ion of Democratic Clubs in New York last Il
7eek; it is to be under the management of
hat association and to travel on a special S
rain. Invitations have been extended to .
1any democrats Of prominence 10 join this
abroad show, butso far only the following &c
re down among the certain attractions:
enatoT Kena, Representative Byuum, ex- sc
representative McAdoo, Chauncey + Black. tv

I'D a number Of smaller Try always ready to er

this party along its proposed route II ta'
II be queer if this sort of business can

The Secretary Of the Maryland Farmers be
lance denies most emphatically that the
cent State convention endorsed Senator an
'rrnan and intimates broadly that the lie
lrylaud Alliance is in the feld for Cor Sta
ms scalp. This may be true Of the car
lders Of the Alliance" said a Maryland
publican, "but many of the rank and Gle pos
en- of those who were delegates Of the the
INVENTION, are under Germans thumb, and trai
zen the time comes to vote they will sup tioi
It Germans candidates for the Legislature ma
lliance or no Alliance" President Polk Of thii
Alliance says! IF the Maryland Alliance ten
rue to its principles, two Alliance Sena- is S
5 win be elected from that State and Ar late
II P. German will not be one Of them. for
