THE REPLY TO RUpINI.
Satisfaction Expressed at the State Depart
ment-The secretary's Outing.

Satisfaction Expressed nj the state Depart
ment-The secretary's Outing.
There is a great deal of satisfaction oppressed
around the State Department today over the
general value Of the letter which Mr. Blaine
has just written TO the italian government IL
is felt by all on duty here that the letter il in
every sense strong and that il leaves little
chance for a successful reply being made in
rebuttal The references by the Secretary to
the Spanish cases of forty years ago and to
Mr.. Webster's remarks upon the subject are
thought to be particularly happy, and, to use
an undiplomatic phrase, ''clinching"
There is a plenty of qualification over the
way In which the Secretary turns the words of
kudini to his own use. and in many ways. say
the authorities. the epistle il one of the best
pieces Of diplomatic correspondence ever pro-
duced.
In the meantime the Secretary is resting from
ms labors. lie has gone down the Potomac on
the U. ). s. Despatch with Assistant Secretary
Solely, who has official business for the Navy
Department at Norfolk. The Secretary has
had a pretty hard winter and has accomplished
an extraordinary number Of results. Although
ne has practically stopped going TO the State
Department TO work he has seen hundreds of
people at his house and has in many ways COW
cred an enormous amount of ground He is
now resting from this pressure.
WHAT LEGISLATORS SAT-.
Secretary Blaines letter to the MARQUIS di
Rudini was the principal subject Of comment
among the few national legislators now in the
city. Senator Henderson said to a STAR re-
porter that the letter was an admirable docu-
ment, vigorous and thoroughly American Il
am very glad" said he, shat Mr. Blaine gave
to the public Italy's demand. Never was any
request mere absurd"
Senator Hawley said that the secretary had
taken perfectly proper and an unassailable po-
sition.
''The whole thing isn't worth talking
about" remarked Senator Plumb. Sup
pose the italian minister is re-
called! Who cares? His departure ID of no
more consequence to the American people
than il the banana vender who presides
over push cart at the corner Of 18th
and + streets should close out bust
ness and decide to go Home. It's Just
one man less to board and that's the oaly sub
jet for thought there is in the whole matter.
Or course there's got TO be lot of letter writ
ing over the affair, but Mr.. Blaine is attending
10 that most Admirably. Noone could do any
better"

RIITENHoUsE DENOUNCED.
Editor Dunniny Accuses Him of Engaging
i'm Matchmaking Schemes.

E<OitOr Dunn1ng Accuses Him OF Engaging
i'm Matchmaking Schemes.
Neither President Polk of the Tarmers'
Alliance nor ID. IL. Rittenhouse could be found
today by a STAR reporter who wanted to ask
them about the letter published today purport-
ing to have been addressed by Rittenhouse on
Farmers Alliance paper to Lieut.. Gov. Jones
of New York suggesting that Gen. Jones might
get the aid Of an organization known as the
Independent Order OF American Citizens by
assisting them financially.
President Polk was in Columbus. Ohio. to-
day and Mr.. Rittenhouse in some other town,
nobody seems to know where. Mr.. II. W.
Aver, who succeeded Rittenhouse as private
sec etary to President Polk on January last.
was in his Office in the Fendall building when a
STAR reporter called. but he preferred 10 re-
main silent to the matter.
Things were wide open, however. at the Office
OF the National Economist. the official organ of
the alliance. Editor n. A. Dunning talked
freely of what he termed 1.-The bleckmailine
schemes of the enterprising Rittenhouse.
He said that Rittenhouse had stolen
the officially headed letter paper and had
used it with some frequency in lis efforts to
advance his fortunes This fellow Ritten-
house" said Mr.. Dunning, lis scoundrel from
a to z"
NOT MEMBER OF THE ORDER.
Alliance people say that Rittenhouse practi-
cally ceased 70 be a member of the order after
the Ocala conventions; that he has never been
recognized since that affair and that he was
not eligible to membership anyhow
1t may be remembered that a somewhat sim
liar epistle to the one now being discussed was
read in the North Carolina Legislature last ses-
sion. Rittenhouse was the author and it was
addressed to the president of a railroad COM
pany which was endeavoring TO secure a char
ter from the legislature.
GOV. JONES WROTE TO PRESIDENT POLK
Only few people are aware of the fact
that Lieutenant Governor Jones. Immediately
upon the receipt of Rittenhouse's epistle
wrote to President Polk. inclosing the
original letter. Mr. Jones was somewhat
surprised when he read the demand, for he had
always been on the right side of the alliance
In reply to Mr.. Jones' letter he is
said to have received information from
the alliance which made him feel as
though several inches had Suddenly been added
to his height Lieut.. Gov. Jones and the Ali
ance are supposed to be on the best Of terms
Nothing but the fact that Rittenhouse be-
longs to highly respectable family and has a
wife, who is held in high esteem, saved him
from prosecution by the alliance ON at least
one occasion.
