administration; one that has added
materially to our prosperity and that
promises years of more generally
distributed plenty than any in our
history. The record Of two years IS
without spot or blemish and the Re
publican party is thoroughly united.
Benjamin Harrison cannot fail 10 be
dominated, and you will find that
sentiment to be universal and over
whelming when the convention as
sembles a year hence. Col, Bayne
also expressed himself as feeling
certain that the Democrats would
again put up Mr.. Cleveland, and the
next campaign would be an almost
exact duplicate Of 1888. except that
the uncertain quantity Of the third
party would make the result more
doubtful, but lie has an unfailing
faith in the ability Of the Republican
party to win.
One of the results Of the trip Of
the Presidential party to the Pacific
coast is the establishing of regular
mail route between San Francisco
and Alaska, and the first official act
Of Postmaster General Wanamaker
upon his return to duty was to
award the contract for carrying the
mails on the new line.
Secretary Proctor will not talk, at
least not for publication, about his
chances Of becoming the successor OF
Senator Edmunds, but he has look
when receiving the advance con-
gratulations of his many friends that
causes me to think that he is pretty
certain that the name Of the next
Senator from Vermont will be Red
field Proctor.
Ex-senator Blair is still here, and
the belief is rapidly gaining ground
that it was not on account Of the
speeches he has made in the Senate
that the Chinese Government OBJ
jected to receiving him as our minis
ter. but that it was the result Of the
influence Of certain American CAPT
taIists who have schemes to work in
China, and who knew that Mr.. Blair
was too honest a man to wink at any
underhanded business, and for that
reason they didn't wish him to rep
resent the United States in that
country. He may do it yet.
Mrs. Harrison wishes it stated that
there is no truth in the rumor that
she had sold her Cape May Point
cottage. She will spend the summer
there, and will leave here as soon as
she can get ready, which will prob
ably be in about two weeks. Later
she and the rest Of the family viii
be joined there by the President,
who will spend as much time with
them as his duties will permit
A rumor lacking official confrma
ton says that Commissioner Raum
will resign as soon as Secretary No
BILE returns, and that Ger. Beaver, Of
Pennsylvania, is to be Commissioner
of Pensions.
Naval officials are delighted with
the test Of armor plates made sew
eral days ago at Annapolis, because
we are just in the condition to ben
eft thereby, having number Of
vessels almost ready to be armored-
Further tests are to be made of the
armorss which resisted all attempts
to penetrate it the other day, and
if it stands it, as the naval officers
are confident it will, all Of the yes
sells now being built for the Govern
ment, will be armored with it,
which will give Us a feet which,
though small in number, will con
sist of the most formidable war YES
sells adoat, as the heavy gun which
we are now making right here in
Washington with which our new
ships are provided, are superior to
any in existence and easily capable
of breaking up the armcr by which
the war ships Of the navies Of the
world are at present protected, all
of which adds an additional swag-
ger to the strut of your Uncle Sam
uel, as with thumbs in the arm
holes Of his vest he takes in the sit
uation and tips wink to the po-
tentates Of Europe while he advises
them in friendly way to beware Of
attempting to interfere with his
plans for the commercial unifcation
Of the American continent.
