will find everything in "apple pie order"
as the saving is, and so will the veterans,
"a there is a unanimous determination
on the part of Westinghouse to outdo
everything done by other cities and 10
make encampment week memorable IN
the annals of the National Capital as well
as in those of the G. A. X. The President
does not expect to leave Washington for
any extended period again this year, nm
less the health of Mrs Harrison, who Will
90 South to spend the winter, shall com
pell him to go to Der. Washington Is al"
ready beginning to put on its gala attire
to receive the veterans who will begin 10
arrive bv the last of this week The pro-
gram for encampment week is complete,
and every hour of time between a. m.
and midnight of each day from Monday to

Senator Mitchell. of Oregon, is one Of
the advance guard of the Congressional
army which is coming to Washington 10
help make things pleasant for the Ola
soldiers. He is utilizing the time before
the encampment in attending to some de-
nartment business for his constituents. AL
the close of the encampment he will re-
turn to Oregon with the G. 4. X. men
from that state, and take an aggressive
part in the campaign. OF the general
poltlcal outlook he says: "Everything |
hear makes the victory of Harrison and
Reid more certain. l am satisfied that
New York will give Harrison larger ma
iority this wear than in 1883" Asked
about his own state, the senator SAID
ooh, Oregon is all right, we shall carry
the state, as usual, notwithstanding the
activity of the peoples party which may
cast as many as 10000 votes in the state.
Hon. J. n Huston. ex-Uni,ed States
Treasurer. who usually knows everything
worth knowing about Indiana politics, l.
in Washington. He says: Both parties
are hard at work, with headquarters wide
open at Indianapolis, and speakers busy
stumping the state. This week Gov. Nc
Kinley will begin a stumplng tour OF the
national gas region, and later we vii
have other noted outside orators. Re
pubicans, with rare exceptions which are
becoming rarer, are confident OF success
and if we succeed in our suit now in court
in oyerthrowing the present. uni ust and
unconstitutional apportionment law we
shall certainly sweep the state"
Democrats here make no bones. o
saving publicly that Mr.. Cleveland ha'
got to recognize Senator Hill, no matter
how humiliating it may be to him. IT b
wishes to stand even the ghost of chance
of carrying New York, without which III
cannot possibly be elected,
The national democratic committee hal
made "dicker" with the alliance bosse
in South Dakota, whereby the democrat
of that state are bound to support tn
alliance, OF third party state ticket AM
the four electors are to be equally divided
between Cleveland and Weaver. Senate
Kyle is to take the stump for the fusion
ticket and the national democratic com
mittee ia to furnish all the documents ant
Doodle needed. Republicans here believe
that this deal will bring the republican
alliance men back to their first love au'
result in electing the republican stat
ticket and electors.
