WASHING TON LETTER.
From onr reruIar eorrespondent.

w AHhiNGToh, -. " June -, 1891.
The President has expressed him
self as being greatly pleased with
the work Of the Ohio State conven-
ton, both as to the platform adopted
and the candidates nominated, and
he believes that the republicans
viii carry the State by one of those
old.time republican Ohio majorities
which used to set the pace for the
party in other states.
President and Mrs. Harrison, ac-
compan;ed by their grandchildren,
left yesterday for their Cape May
Point cottage, where Mrs. Harrison
and the children expect to remain
for sometime. Mr.. Harrison will
not remain with them, but he ex-
poets to spend a part of every week
with them during the warm weather.
Secretary Foster was very anxious
to have attended the Ohio conven.
ton, and had fully intended doing
SO, but at the last minute he found
that important public business made
it necessary that he should remain
here, so he did not get off to Ohio
until yesterday morning. He said
before leaving that he was Just as
well satisfied with what the conyen-
tiun did "a he would have been if
he had taken part therein as q
delegate.
Secretary Noble, much improved
in appearance, and he says also in
feeling, is back at his desk as hard
at work as if he had just entered
the Cabinet. He has not now nor
has he ever had the slightest inteu-
ton of resiguing, but he says he
feels under obligation to the news
papers for having picked out so
many nice places for him, and he
regrets that all of them were made
contingent upon his leaving the

New York Mail and EepreSs..
The approach of July /, when the
duty on tin plates will be ased
from | cent per pound to ? l-5 cents
per pound, has aroused the importers
10 the necessity of Withdrawing
from ware house the tin-plate that
has been III store. After July /
such tin as may not have had the
the duty paid upon it will have to
bear the extra amount Of ! Is cents
per pound. The importers are, there
fore, busy releasing the stock they
may have on hand. Yesterday one
firm alone paid the duties on $4,000
boxes of tin-plate, while other firms
are likewise engaged in the same
transaction. The new arrivals are,
however, causing the stores to be
again filled up. The releasing of
the tin.plate from bond is not con
fined to this city. In Philadelphia
over 5000 900 pounds of tin was
Withdrawn from bond during the
present week. Every vessel arriving
from Great Britain at the port of
PhiIadelphiais loaded with tin-pIate,
and efforts are being made to get in
a large stock before the new duty
law goes into effect.

The CITY Election.

The Democrats displayed more than their
customary amount of activity yesterday, and
got out an unusually large vote. The Re-
publican vote was about the same as last
year, which was smaller than the average.
while the vote for Ingraham exceeded the
vote for Deering year ago by several hun
dred. The Democrats were well supplied
with funds, said to have been furnished by
the liquor men. who voted solidly for Ingra-
ham and worked like beavers to secure his
election. That, however, they failed to do,
though by the aid of the Prohibti0nists, who
bestowed several hundred votes ON man
who could not be elected and who would not
have accepted the nomination had there
been the slightest chance Of his election

PEELED a second ballot. The Republicans
could have won easily yesterday had thew
polled their full vote, but too many of them
feeling that Mr.. True's success was certain
and that their vote would not be needed did
not take the trouble to go to the polls. Voc
terday's experience ought to ensure a gen-
eral turnout Of Republicans at the next elac-
tIoE. One did not have to linger about the
voting places long yesterday to be convinced
that the people who were working the hard
est for Mr.. Ingraham were not people who
are accustomed to consult the intere its of
the city in order to determine how they
shall vote. At the next election they
will probably be out in force again.
They can easily be defeated If the Repub-
cans who staid at home yesterday thinking
their votes would not be needed. turn out

wards and theDemocrats theirs in two, as was
foreseen. In Ward Mr.. Melville A. Floyd.

Senator-elect PETER, of Kansas, has a plan
by which he thinks much time and money
might DO saved to Congressman. It is to the
effect that general bureau of information
should be established in Washington for the
purpose Of furnishing replies to the abundant
letters which Congressman receive from
their constituents. These letters relate, 1t is
well known, to all sorts CT business In the
departments, and the task of answering them
involves great deal Of labor and expense,
and seriously interferes with tie proper per-
formance Of legislative duties. The Con-
gresham is not really paid to do such work.
1t is outside of the legitimate scope of his
functions, and he performs it by force of
custom instead Of legal requirement. Mr..
PETER urges that the Government is in duty
bound to provide means for supplying such
information as its citizens may need or de-
sire with regard to matters In which they
have pecuniary or other interest; and that
the work OF Congress would be much more
rapidly and efficiently performed If the law
makers should be thus relieved of the burden
Oh drudgery which is now imposed upon
them In that relation. There is some sense
In this. but Mr.. PETER ought to know that
the chief political capital of good many
congressman Is the favors they can do for
their constituents in the way of information,
and without it they would soon retire from
congress.
