Washington Letter.

WAsuINGroN. ID. c. July 22nd, 1892.
Mr.. Harrison l. still keeping up his war
on the men who dared 10 oppose his
nomination at Minneapolis, and this
week. turned his attention to ''~alut
Matthew" Quay. rs the Junior Senator
from PENNSYLVANIA mas been called since
he made his scI.pturt quotations In IA
far uf closing the Worlds Fair on sun
day. and by nominating George oAlriS.
Jr, OF FlttShur- Pa. tu the vacancy ON
the bench OF the United States supreme
court he gave the sanity Matthew a
knockdowu blow that may sadly dl~Sar-
range his halo.
Mr.. Shiras owes his good fortune to
the fact that Quay had candidate for
the place and that ne tried To make his
friends nomination the price Of his
cordial support Of Harrison. II may he
that it was because Mr.. Harrison thought
Quav's opposition more desirable than
ms support that lac declined 10 nominate
his man and sent for Representative
Dalzcll, whose enmity 10 Quay everybody
knows. and told him that me might try
his hand at naming a man for the Va
cancv. or il may have been from some
other cause; at any rate that Is what he
did. and finding that Mr.. ShiraS, who
was named 10y Dalzell, was lawyer OF
good standing AT the Pennsylvania bar
and that he was endorsed 10y some
prominent people Of his own and other
states, Mr.. Harrison nominated HIM,
without being personally acquainted
with or having even met him. Quay
isn't saying anything against the nomI-
! nation, but he viii get revenge II he ever
gets an opportunity. while ms less crafty
| colleague, Cameron, Is openly kicking.
Although the House by a vote of p
| to 10 refused to concur in the Senate
| amendment to the Suudry civil approprI-
alton bill appropriating -, OoO,O 600 to the
World Fair, il Is expected that it viii
| in the end agree to the appropriation.
| although it may not be exactly IN the
| shape Of the Senate amendment. The
| Worlds FAIR officials now here, are do
| ing much more real kicking about the
amendment, which has been adopted 10y
! both House and Senate prohibiting the
! opening of any part of the Worlds Fair
| ON Sunday. than they are about the
| temporary defeat OF the appropriation
amendment, and they viii make as
strong fight before the conference com
mittee to have the Sunday amendment
struck out of the bill as they viii to have
| the appropriation amendment put back,
| but the chance of success j. hardly as
good in the first is in the last.
Democrats are asking each other how
| it IS that ex-senator Malone, the motor
| ious Republican lobbyist, has been able
! to control the votes OF such Democrats
as Senators Vest, Butler and Blackburn
| whenever the question Of purchasing "a
( site for new government printing office
/ comes up. Malone owns a piece Of
| ground which he Is trying to get pUr-
| chased for that purpose, and although
! he has not vet succeeded, he has, with
| the aid of the Senators named and others,
succeeded in preventing the purchase OF
| other and more eligible sites. Demo
| cratic Senators do not enhance their own
regulations 10y helping such men as Ma
hone in anything.
Representative O'Ncill, OF Missouri,
succeeded in getting an amendment To
the Sundry civil bill adopted 10y the
House which, if 1t Is not struck out in
conference, will prevent the cmp!oy-
mcut OF PinkertOn men at the coming
G.. \. K cncampmeut in this city. and
at the Worlds Fair.
Col. Oates investigation committee
had several Pinkert0n men before it
Yesterday. but their testimony concern
ing their presence at Homestead and the
fight did not differ materially from what
has already been published. The COM
mittec Will present a report a far as it
has gone in the investigation in a few
days, and Will continue its work during
the recess.
quite . number Of Democratic Con
grcssmen went over to New York to take
part in the Cleveland and Stevenson
notification Jubilee, Wednesday night
and they agree 70 a man in saying that
Iammany Is already actively at work for
the ticket, and determined to carry New
York city by larger majority than ever
They also agree in saying that the meet
ing at Madison Square garden was the
most immense affair of the kind ever
held.
Mr.. Harrison offended Senator Proc
tor when he nominated Col. Eugene \
Carr, of the sixth cavalry. to be brigadier
general, the colonel when secretary Of
war having promised the next vacancy
to another colonel. Promises do not
count with Mr.. Harrison when they
conflict with his having his own way
Representative Cultivate, Of Ohio,
| made an exposure on the floor of the
House this week, that may result very
unpleasantly to Allen Rutherford, a local
calm agent, who has been sending let
ters to parties interested in the bill for
the relief of the hospital service, de-
manding pay for having had the bill
passed. Mr.. Cultivate says the man is
liable to arrest for using the mails for
fraudulent purposes as well as for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
