WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June, %. Is

WASHINGTON, June, %, 1891,
The president has expressed himself as
being greatly pleased with the work sof the
Ohio state convention, both as to the plat.
form adopted and the candidates nomi.
mated, and he believes that the Republicans
will 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, accompan,
led by their grandchildren, left yesterday
for their Cape May Point cottage, where
Mrs. Harrison and the children expect to
remain for some time. Mr.. Harrison will
spend "A part of every week with them dur
ing the warm weather.
Secretary Noble, much improved in APP
pearance and he says also in feeling, is back
at his desk as hard at work as il he had
just entered the cabinet. He has not now
nor has he ever had the slightest intention
of resigning, but he says he feels under obi
cations to the newspapersf for ha wing picked
out so many nice places for him and he re-

upon his leaving the cabinet.
Mr.. H.. j. Schulties, of the District Of Co.
lumbia, has been appointed an additional
member of the commission which is to go
to Europe to investigate immigration.
He was appointed as the representative OF
the Federation OF Labor. Gen. Grosvenor,
who resigned his place on the immigration
commission by telegraph this week, has
been appointed special COMMISSIONS for
duty in connection with the admission OF
foreign goods to the Worlds fair. What.
ever his fault, his resignation was a manly
ocumeEt Here it is: Fearing that the
ssaults upon me by certain OF the press
on misrepresentation will impair, if not de-
stroy, my usefulness in the immigration
commission, / respectfully tender my resig-
nation. l cannot afford to hold office to
the injury OF my party. Let my r~esigna-
ton take effect at the pleasure OF the de-
partment."
A mass meeting has been called for to-
night by some OF Washington's most prom
inent business men, to take the necessary
steps for raising a guarantee fund sutti-
GENTLY large to properly entertain the ma
tionaI e~ncampment, q. A. r., which is to be
invited to hold its 1882 meeting in this
city. There is little doubt that all the
money necessary can easily be raised, and
If the veterans will accept the invitation to
come here next year they will be given a re-
ception they will never forget, besides being
given an opportunity to inspect What is
now conceded to be the most beautiful city
in the world.
The National Democrat, which was
started here "A year or two ago with great
flourish of trumpets, is said to be in serious
financial difficulties, and it's editor and pro-
Prietor, u thing that bears the shape of a
man, but who never knew what it was to
experience a real manly feeling, has been re-
tired. If the paper isn't sold it will prob
ably suspend soon.

All travellers returning from a ~sojourn
in Europe report that Major Mckinley
is denounced from one end of the
British isles to the other, as well as
throughout France and Germany. This
state of mind among the people across
the water affords good proof of where
the tariff shoe pinches. 1t may be
remarked in this connection that they
have developed a large measure of ad-
miration for Roger .. Mills and Grover
Cleyeland.-Great Falls Leader.

is one thing that can be said Of the
Republican party which do not believe
a be said of any other party known
to political history. 1t has been right
on every great public question that has
confronted the people of the nation
within the last thirty years. There is
another thing that can be said of the
Republican party-it can look back
ward or it can look forward, and that
cannot be said of any other party, for
the Democratic party cannot look back
ward except with shame

That was a pleasing episode related
elsewhere, in which Mrs. Campbell,
wife of the present chief executive OF

 Colonel Shanley, in order to give further zest to the occasion, articula- ted with proper emphasis and jestiou- lation, "Pd be butterfly born in q bower" but no one believed him, hence he was not eomplimented with rounds of applause and tiger. Adjutant Wiley was then called upon to tell of his matrimonial proposal to Barbara Fritchie, that cool September morning, at Frederickstown, while she rested her stomach on the window sill, but he asked to be excused upon the ground that Judge George A. Allen had al- ready monopohzed her affections, aLd although she subsequently, gave him the mitten, he never after spoke of her without tear ill his eye and drop on his nose. Wiley was excused.
 At this juncture the bugle sounded the recall, followed by the command column forward again to the attack of the canteen, after which taps sound ed lights out, and the camp relapsed into n state of repose, although not asol- dier was in his bunk in the barracks. Strange to say, not a hat was found next morning hut what was too small 1 for its owner, and stranger still not of the legion complained of having been snake bit.
