WASHINGTON LETTER.
WAsHINeToN. June e, .

may be put against him. Therefore the
] committee is engaged in mapping out pro-
e eramme for its party in that State whereby
, It hopes to gain a Unitec States Senator ana
to throw brand Of discord into the Repub-
l licau National convention next year. This
: is. in short, to trade votes for Mckinley for
votes for Democratic candidates for the leg
islature. and to spend all the money that can
t be raised in the doubtful legislative dis
= tricts. By this method it hopes to secure a
Democratic successor to Senator Sherman
and to give Major Mckinley such phe-
nominal majority for governor as to Dnng
him prominently forward as a Presidential
candidate, in the hope that its candidacy
NAV arouse antagonism in the Republican
party that will jeopardize its success next
year ''Foiewarned is forearmed as far as
the legislature is concerned, and the Ohio
PeDublicans may be trusted to take care Of
, that " said a member of the administration
to me, ''aud as far as the Presidential part
of the scheme is concerned, the delegates
) to the next Republican national convention
will, as they have always done, nominate
the man who is, all things considered, the
most available at the time, and its work will
be enthusiastically ratified by the party
Republican conventions have always differed
from those Of their opponents, in that they
have never been dominated by any one man,
or one set of men"
Senator Hale is in Washington, and he
brings the best news concerning Secretary
Blaineis health He thinks that by the tall
the Secretary will be prepared to resume
his duties with allof his old time vigor It
must not be supposed that because Secre-
tary Blaine is away he has given up the
direction ofthe Department of State because
he has done no such thing Nothing OF any
| Importance concerning the affairs of his
department has been done since he LEFT here
without consulting with him and obtaining
his advise and consent. By being away lie
has simply avoided the thousand AMI one
| essential details with which be would have
to bother if he was here, and some things
have been postponed which might have
| been done had he remained here.
] The President who went to Cape May
| Point with Mrs Harrison and the children
| last week, is expected to return to Washing
| ton tomorrow or next day, in order 10 take
up some important questions and cabinet
meeting has been called for Friday to which
these questions are to be submitted. As
most of them relates to the Treasury depart
nent Secretary Foster who is now in Ohio,
will return in time to attend.
The North American Commercial COM |
pany which is the present lessee of the |
Alaskan sealing privilege, has filed pro-
test in the Treasury department against the |
recent agreement with England limiting its /
catch of seals during the present season to /
seven thousand 1--WE hundred. It has also /
given notice of a claim amounting 70 four
hundred thousand dollars which It will pre-
sent against the Government for not allow
ing it to take the number Of seals mentioned /
in the contract, during the season Of 1890.
It is expected tnat claim equally as large |
or larger will be set up against the Govern
meut on account of its losses during the
present season. It cannot Of course be said
at this time what will be done about these
claims. but from opinions expressed by Sec
rotary Blaine and other members OF the ad-
miuistratiou last year when the question Of
lifniting the catch of seal FIRST came up It IS
fair TO infer that the administration will 1
favor reimburSing the company to the
amount Of its actual expenditure, which will
fall far short of the amount named.
An attempt has been made and is still
being made to have the impression go out
that the administration does not wish Major
Mckinley elected governor of Ohio. Moth
ing could be further from the truth. The
President and every member Of the cabinet
is anxious for and confident of the election
Of Mckinley, and they will each and every
one Of them do everything that can be con-
sisiently done to make his majority as large I
as possible. There are no jealousies among q
the Republican leaders aud no amount Of ]
can eugender them.

TO the Treasury department and all sorts of
stories are being invented about there being
a deficit therein. There is 20 deficit and no I
danger of one. There is a surplus, and now S
that the heaviest payments due for some
time have been made it will grow very 1
rapidly.

The question 'do monkeys ltak" is being a

The story about the recent New York 81
,levelaud conference may be all right in II
distance, but il certainly gets the details
mixed up when It states that German has II
inferred a compact to work for Cleveland 81 ar
omination. II Cleyeland receives the NOM ID
nation German, being a party man, will
upport him, but It has long been an open -
ecret among his friends that he would do
o with great reluctance and It would be
afe to wager largely that all the ante-con
ention work German does will be against
levelaud and not for him.

Major Mckinley, the next Governor of

not believe can be said Of any other party

a battle for the right It was used by
aior Mckinley in speaking to the Ohio
invention: eve do not confne ourselves

lake Kiirain knows how the Ohio Democ-
