WARRINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

leave some good news for his party
friends. He says that Iowa can con-
fdently be counted in the democratic
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 Gin
cinnati and tried to make a party that
could stand on every sort of crank
theory that was proposed. They
merely got on the platform and kissed
each other and let the cranks run the
convention. do not believe they
can organize now so as to have any in
fluence on the election in Iowa, either
this fall or in 'o2." Being asked who
the republicans would nominate for
President, Mr.. Hayes replied: "Harri-
son. think he is the only man men
toned who thinks there is enough in
the nomination to make it worth fight
ing for, and the party has got to take
him. If Blaine wanted the nomina-
ton all that Harrison or anybody else
could do would not prevent his getting
it, but Blaine understands tine present
condition of the republican party so
we'll that he dosen't want the nomina-
ton"
''There's going to be some mighty
lively democratic music before long"
said close friend of Senator German
to-day, 'if certain class of men who
are trying to dictate the next candi-
date of the democratic party, and who
never voted a straight democratic
ticket in their lives, do not let up in
their under-hand mud-throwing at
Arthur German. His friends have
stood it about as long as they intend
to, and as they know where it all
comes from they will know where and
how to hit back"
The Examiners in the Patent Office,
Who have made practice of rejecting
many applications for patents that
>ould have been granted, in order to
.eed the inventors for an attorneys
fee little later on, when they shall
have accumulated sufficient number
of these unjustly rejected cases to
justify them in resigning and going
into business as Patent attorneys,
with a clientage made up almost en-
tirely of the inventors whose applca-
tons they had unjustly rejected when
Examiners, are in state of mind over
ruling of Hon. Charles F. Mitchell,
Commissioner of Patents, which pro-
hibits the appearance before that Of
fee of an ex employe as attorney or
agent in any case upon which he had
passed while an employe. Their little
game, which had grown into a man.
moth abuse, is ended, and the invent
ors of the country now have reason to
hope that their applications will in the
first place be honestly dealt with, as
they will be if Mr.. Mitchel's new and
excellent rule shal. be as strictly en-
forced by his successors as by him.
Representative Mills will remain in
Washington the greater portion Of the
summer engaged in literary work. He
is not doing any talking for publica-
ton on political subjects, and thinks
that the numerous fake interviews with
him that have recently appeared in
prominent newspapers, are part of a
plan to injure his prospects of being
elected Speaker of the House by ma
king him appear ridiculous. He wish
es his friends to know that any inter-
view porporting to give his opinions on
the fitness of any candidate, either for
the Spcakership or for the Presiden.
cy is entirely spurious, as he has ex-
pressed no such opinions.
Col. w. w. Didley says the anti
Harrison republicans, made fools of
themselves by holding their recent
conference at Indianapolis, and that
the conference amounted to nothing
except an attempt Of Gresham's friends
to bring him out as a candidate.
This is taken here to mean that Col.
Dudley will support Harrison, as had
been rumored short time ago.
Senator Quay, who was here a few
days ago told his friends that he would
not remain at the head of the republi-
can committee during the coming
campaign, but whether he really in
tends to retire or is bluffing is matter
of doubt
Much ugly talk connecting various
members of the administration with
completely in the crooked Philadelphia
bank failures, has been indulged in
here during the last few days, but the
only thing definite is that Assistant
ecretary Of the Treasury Nettleton
cknowledges that he is endorser upon
