WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent,
MAanINnrnN. u. O.. Octoher II. lal

WASHINGTON, ID. C., october IL, 1872.
The shadow is upon the White
House; it may come tomorrow, next
week, or next month, but all hope
that it can be averted has been
given up; and all that is left for the
President and his family is to make
Mrs. Harrison as comfortable as
possible and to bear with Christian
resignation and fortitude the atflict-
ion which the inscrutable wisdom
Of Divine Providence has put upon
them, and Mrs. Harrison, in the
full knowledge OF her condition, is
setting them a most worthy example.
One Of Mrs. Harrison'S lungs is
entirely gone and the other nearly
gone, but in spite of her great and
growing weakness she continues
cheerful and exerts herself con-
stantly to cheer her husband aud
children. Constant watchfulness
and suspense have had very bad
effect upon the Presidents nerves,
and he is far from being well, al
though he strives to bear up under
his great trouble. He is constantly
reoaivinu evidence, of the deem
sympathy felt for him and his by
all classes of his fellow citizens,
and from none is it more sincere
than from his political opponents.
alt is just as much larceny to
steal political right as it is to steal
private property" said Attorney
General Miller in his argument be-
fore the Supreme Court against the
coustitutionality of that Democratic
steal known as the Michigan cleo
toral law. Referring to the Demo
cratic argument that the case was
political and therefore out OF the
jurisdiction Of the courts, the
Attorney General pertinently said:
~ hold it to be one Of the most
hopeful signs Of the times that the
courts are either arousing or being
aroused to the fact that if the rights
Of the people of the United States
are to be preserved they must be
preserved by an observance and en-
forcement of the law, and that they
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-10-22

are prepared to take and are taking
by the wrists political bosses, who,
assuming that questions are purely
political, are committing grand
larceny with reference to the rights
of the people of the United States"
A decision in this case is expected
IN time to have the Michigan Presi.
dental electors chosen in accord
ance Herewith, and there is little
doubt that it will upset the con
templated Democratic steal.
The Democrats profess to be
greatly exercised because of the
political activity Of Michigan post
masters and they have filed charges
against several of them with the
civil service commission, which has
already began an investigation.
The object of these charges is to
intimidate pOstmasters in all sec
tons, but it will not succeed, as
most of the postmasters are Re
publicans, consequently men of in
telllgence, who know that holding
office does not deprive them Of any
of their political rights.
The political news coming into
Washington all continues favorable
to Republican success. The in
significant showing made by the
Peoples party in the State elections
in the South is reported to have had
an excellent effect in the northwest,
and present indications are that
Harrison and Reid will be supported
by solid north, if they get no
electoral votes from the South. At
the headquarters of the farmers
alliance, which is the only head
quarters the Peoples party has ever
had here, they are keeping very
quiet these days, whereas few
months ago they were jubilantly
claiming everything, were even
talking of the possibility of elect
ing Weaver. Now they will prob
ably be glad if they succeed in
electing a dozen members of the
House.

In touching upon the outlook in
this congressional district, the Mil
waukee Telegraph remarks with a
good deal of truth that:
"The Republicans of the Third
district are awake 10 the Importance
of redeeming their state from
modern Democracy and also to the
importance Of sending to congress
man who can be relied upon to
meet and vigorously oppose every
effort to secure the repeal of the
Mckinley law, for the abandonment
of our invaluable Protective system;
man, in short, who can be de-
pended upon, from the first to the
last, to meet and battle the Demo
Gratis in their efforts to carry out the
pledges made in their National and
state platforms to strike blow at
the country's interests by destroying
what they, the Democrats, call an
unconstitutional law and fraud,
when they speak of our present
Protective system. Every manu-
facturer in the Third district, every
farmer, every laborer, of all grades,
if he stops to consult his individual
interests and the interests of his
state, of his country, will cast
vote for Mr.. Babcock, whether he is
a Republican or Democrat That
is a district in which large number
of ex-soldiers reside. Mr.. Babcock
has always shown himself the true
friend to that large element, and
when he goes to congress can be
depended upon to comply with the
many requests that they make upon
him for assistance in looking after
their interests. They can depend
upon his whole-hearted support in
every measure that promises good
results to them"

The humorist governor of Wis.
consin, in his message to the legis-
lature, convened in extra session for
the purpose of enacting a new
apportionment law, insults the SUI
preme court and the common
intelligence of the people by utter
ing the stock lie of his party that
the law recently declared uncon-
stitutional was as fair and equitable
as any that the state has ever had.
What he or his party can hope to
gain by this falsehood it is difficult
to see; and there is no accounting
for persisting in it, except upon the
theory that "whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad" He
had the grace to suggest, however,
that it would be wise to endeayor
to make an apportionment that
would be above question.

The Appeals to German Voters.

The Appeals to German Voters.
TRANSLATED from The Chicago Freie Presse.)
Both parties are anxious to win
the German vote. But in the means
to do it with there is marked diff
ference. The Republican party looks
at the German voters as American
citizens, with all the rights and
duties of snch citizens. The Demo
cratic party treats them preemin-
entity as aliens and as "Credo-
Unionists." The Republican party
appeals to the sense of citizenship
and to the American patriotism of
the German voter; the Democratic
party appeals to the national and
religious prejudices. The Republi-
can party speaks to the German
Americans, when the Democrats
only know Of German Lutherans
aud German Catholics.
