WASHINGTON LETTER
From Our Reg ular Currespe ndent
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3, '92

The President will, if Mrs. Har-
rison continues to improve as she
has done during the past week,
take part in the Columbus cele-
brations in New York, on the II
Inst, and in Chicago on the q
Inst, and, unless something not
now anticipated shall prevent, he
will be accompanied ON both trips
by all of the members of his Cab
met. Mrs. Hsrrison's improve
ment has had most inVigorating
effect upon him, the regular Cab
met meetings have been resumed
and he has taken hold of his
official work with all his old-time
energy, besides giving considera-
BILE attention to the state of the
campaign, as shown by trust
worthy reports from every sec
ton, which are constantly being
sent to him. The President has a
great head for politics, as he has
shown on numberless occasions.
He never allows his wishes to in
terfere in the slightest manner
with his judgment, consequently
his advance summary Of results
have nearly always tailed with
the actual results of election. He
is absolutely confident of his re-
election and the popular Yindica-
tion of the great principles of the
Republican party which have been
SO conspiciously brought to the
front during his administration.
Senator Aldrlch, of hhode Is
land, is always wolcome visitor
at the White House, but doubly
SO a. this time when he comes af-
ter careful investigation-he is al
ways thorough In whatever he
does--to tell the President of the
satisfactory condition of things
political in the State of New York
The Senator is confident that
Harrison and Reid will carry
that State by considerably larg-
er majority than it gave to Harri-
son and Morton in 1883 The
support of Gen. Sickles will be
worth many democratic soldier
votes to the Republican ticket.
Democratic alarm over the
South is rapidly spreading, and
they are preparing to do what
they have never before considered
necessary in national campaign
send their most prominent
speakers into the South. 1t is
the Peoples Party that they are
afraid of Ill most of the Southern
States, but in Tennessee and West
Virginia it is the Republicans
who are giving them uneasiness.
Secretary Elkins Expresses the
greatest confidence in the ability
of the Republicans to carry West
Virginia for the national ticket
and to elect number of Con-
gresham. Houk, of Tennessee,
says the Republicans of that
State are in a better condition and
are more determined to win than
ever before.
Uncle Jerry Rusk is happy
over the great big exhibit his de-
partment is going to make at the
Worlds Fair, an exhibit which
will for the first time present to
the world comprehensive idea of
the greatest single American in
dustry = agriculture, including
stock and cattle raising. He de-
votes much of his time overlook
ing the preparations for this ex-
hlbit which are now we'll under
way. Only two other bureaus of
the government-the Smithsonian
Institution and the Fish Commits
sion-will have $4,000, which is
the amount at the disposal of the
Agricultural Department, allowed
them for the expense of their ex-
hibits. Secretary Rusk thinks
the exhibit of his department will
have an educational value not to
be computed in dollars and cents
TO the American farmers who will
attend the Worlds Fair. and that
the complete method of govern
