WARRINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON. d. G, Aug II.

Secretary Foster is again at his
desk. Ge says lie has not single
doubt in the world of the election
of Nc kinley aud Republican leg
islature in Ohio aud now that the
third party has shown it's true
colors he has no fear that it viii
be able 10 control enough votes to
amount to nythipe i'll the coming
election. The secretary smiled
when asked ii it was true, as stated
by the Democrats, that he was an-
noyed because the holder of the
Ii per cent bonds were not coming
forward faster to get these bonds
extended at 2 per cent, and said
that there Was nothing in the situ-
alton to be all loyed about; the
Government had offered to extend
these bonds il the holders wished
them extended at 2 per cent, but
If they didn't wish them extended
they heve only to wait until they
mature next month to receive the
cash for them. There is no COM
pulsion about it. In fact MIR.
Foster thinks it will be more ben
eficisl to the public to redeem ff-
teen or twenty million of dollars
worth OF these bonds than 1t would
be to continue them, as the money
paid out to redeem them will be
Just that much added to the money
in circulation just at the time il
will be needed in business circles.
Mr.. Foster said that the report OF
q disagreement between himself
and Senator Sherman in regard to
these bonds was an entire fabri-
cation without the slightest foun-
datlon.
Postmaster General Wanamake,
is away on his vacation, but he is
still devoting considerable thought
to improving the postal service
and has Just decided that a re,
form be made in the delivery OF
letters having special delivery
stamps on them. In future wher
g letter is taken to the address
given and the party is found to be
out printed notification similar
to those used by telegraph mes.
sengers will be left. Heretofore
it has been customary to take the
letter back to the office. where ii
vas sent out by the regular carrier
on the next trip.
| Senator Plumb with his hard
horse sense way of looking q
things always has views worth lis
tening to. For instance, he says
Lit is entirely too soon to oegin dis
cussing national politics. Tha
the proper time to begin will be-
when the next Congress has showr
its irtentionc. OF the reported as
pirations of ex-Congressman Kel
ley TO succeed him in the Senate
he said, "Tbis is a free country
anybody can aspire to any Office.
1t was apparent however, that th'
Senator was in no way alarmed
on account of Mr.. Kelley's asplra
tons. Mr. Plumb says that in nj
opinion not a single Souther,
Estate will drop cut of the demo
cratic column in 1892 and that IL
has 10 doubt of the electoral vot,
} of Kansas being cast for the Re
publican ticket as usual. Speak
ing of the probable democratic
candidate for the Presidency {"
will not attempt to prophecy furth
er than to say that Campbell vii
not be the man. for Mckinley i
going to be the next Governor o
, Ohio, and that will ellminst
Campbell as a Presidential fac
tor"
II The secretary of the Maryland
Farmers Alliance denies mos
Iemphatlcally that the recent stat
, convention endorsed Senate
Gorman, and intimates broadl,
that the Maryland Alliance is II
the field for Germans scalp
"This may be true of tn
leaders of the Alliance said
Maryland Republican, but man,
of the rank and file even of thos
who were delegates Of the conven
) ton are under Gorman's thumb
, and when the time comes to vot
, they will support German 8 eandl
dates for the Legislature, Allianc
or no Alliance" President Polk O
the Alliance says, "If the Mary
; land Alliance is true to its princi
iples, two Alliance Senators vii
be elected from that etate an,
Arthur P. German will not be on
of them"
