WASHINGTON LETTER,
(From our regular correspondent }

hePresentatlVe hayes, OF Iowa,
who is wide awake democrat,
stopped in Washington long eno-
ugh to leave some good news ror
his party friends. He says that
iowa can confidently be counted in
the demcratic column for 1892. Of
the third party, he said: They
could have done something if they
had shown more judgment, but they
met there in Cincinnati and tried TO
make party that could stand on
every sort of crank theory that'wa
proposed. They got on the plat
form and kissed each other and let
the cranks run the convention. l
do not believe they can organize
now so as to have any influence on
the elections in Iowa, either this
fall or in .92. Being asked who the
republicans would nominate for
President, Mr.. Hays replied -'Har-
rIson. / Think be is the only man
mentioned who thinks there is
enough in the nomination to make
it worth fighting for, and the party
has 10 take him. If Blaine wanted
the nomination aIl that Harrison or
anybody else could do would not
prevent bis getting it. but Blaine
taderstanos tie present condition
Of the republican party so well that
he doesn' t want the nomination.
There's going 20 be some mighty
lively democratic music before long,
SAID ctose friend of Senator Cor.
man today, ii a certain class of men
who are trying to dictate the next
candidate of the democratic party,
and who never voted a straight
democratic ticket in their lives, do
not let up in their underhanded mud

friends haye stood it about as long
as they intend to, and as they know

papers, are . part ofa plan 10 injure
his prospects Of being elected
speaker Of the House by making
him appear ridiculous. He wishes
his friends to know that any inter-
view purporting to give his opinions
on the fitness Of any candidate,
either for the speapership or for tho
Presidency is entirely spurious. As
he has expressed no such opinions.
