WASHINGTON, July "a. 1891.
Secretary Foster is at Cape May Point
with the president, but those who
enjoy his friendship and confidence
although dlsclaIming any right to speak
for him, appear to be OF the opinion that
there is foundation for the story which
comes from Ohio saying that in the
event of Senator Sherman's withdrawal
Mr.. Foster will become a candidate for
the senate. Secretary Foster" said
one gentlemen, ,"has, l know, long had
desire to represent Ohio in the United
States senate. He stood aside in order
that Garfield might be elected without
opposition in his party when by making
a contest his ambition might have been
gratified, and his relations with Senator
Sherman are such that he would under
no circumstances antagonize that gentle
mems return to the senate, but If
Senator Sherman shall conclude to
Withdraw his name have no doubt that
Secretary Fosters name will be
presented to the legislature Under
stand me, l do not mean that Mr.. Foster
would enter into scramble for this or
any other Office, and know that he has
nothing but the kindest feelings towards
Gov. Foraker who would probably be his
rival before the republican caucus, but,
l think, he feels that his services to the
state and to the republican party have
been sufficient TO justify him in asking
the support of the party for any honor
at It's disposal"
The invitation committee which goes
to Detroit to urge the @. A r. to hold
its 1892 encampment in Washington will
leave here Sunday on a special train
handsomely decorated.
Postmaster General Wanamaker
thinks that the general reorganization
OF the postoffice department, which was
completed and put into effect this week,
will greatly facilitate the dispatch of
business in all branches of the service
lie has seen the necessity for it ever
since he became the head of the depart |
ment, but it could not be done without
some legislation, and it was not until |
last winter that the legislation, could |
be gotten and an additional assistant |
postmaster general secured, and it was
only on the first of the present month |
that the new law took effect. Ire last |
time that this department was entirely |
reorganized was ia 1913.
The democratic leaders here are get |
ting very uneasy over the news of al /
lance encroachments upon their party |
in the south, and there is very strong |
minority, headed by Representative /
Oates. of Alabama, which favors a
decided change Of tactics and the open
fighting of the alliance and the ideas it |
advocates.
Sixth Auditor Coulter, who is president |
OF the Ohio repu blican ASSOCIATION of this
city, talks with enthusiasm of the Ohio
He said: 1.-The Ohio re-
publican association proposes To do all
that it can bOnorably to assist in the
election of Maj. Mckinley. Because We
happen to be temporarily in Washington
we do not lose our interest or our
in the politics of our state,
and just because many of US happen to
be In the government service is no
reason why We should fail to exercise
our rights as citizens and erdeavor TO
encompass what We think will be for the
good Of our state and the country
generally. l think shat McKinley's
will be the greatest since the
days when John Brough defeated
Clement l.. Vallandingham during the
war, and We intend to do our part
towards swelling it."
