WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

w ASlllNOlON3 y ohS AZ, AOcS'
The president is still receiving
congratulations on his renomina-
ton. At first they came princi,
pally by telegraph, but this morn
ing brought the first wave of
deluge by mail. They came from
all sections and all classes, and
they all sing one song-the til
umphant election of Harrison and
Reid. The congressional delegates
and visitors to the national con-
vention have nearly all returned
to Washington, and as one man
they are Of the opinion that the
convention made rattllng plat
form and winning ticket, and
that there was less dissatisfaction
at its close, than was ever shown at
any national convention at which
there was fight for the nomina-
ton. This is gratifying, and leaves
little doubt of republican success
in November. 1t is conceded by
all that no man who is a republl
can can give valid excuse tor not
cdfdlalIy supporting Harrison and
Reid; and all that is necessary to
make their election certain is that
they receive the full republican
vote.
The democrats are positively
dazed at the situation. Where
they expected to find a strong min
ority of the republican party
talking doubtfully oil the success
of the national ticket, if not act
ually threatening open revolt
against it, as result of the warm
contest at Minneapolis, they lind
the republicans marching shoulder
to shoulder, without break i'll
the solid column. Whatever
there may have been before and
during the convention there are
today no anti-Harrison republi-
cans, which spealScs volumes ior
the the party and its future; and
the president has no better friends
today than those whose relations
with Mr.. Blaine are the closest
and most intimate, and, | know
that unless prevented by sickness
Mr.. Blaine will take the stump
for Harrison and Reid.
A buncomb resolution has beer
introduced in the house and re
ferred to the committee on foreign
affairs, directing the president te
sever diplomatic relations with the
Russian government until such
time as that government shall
cease Determinations against the
! Hebrews because of their religious
faith, and remove the arbitrary
and brutal restrictions now i'm
posed upon them against the pro
test of the civilized world. What
would be thought of the Gar il
he should order diplomatic re
lations with the United States
severed until such time as we
j should repeal the Chinese exclu-
! sion law, or any other law upoI
our statute books He would
! have just as much right to do Sc
as we have to follow this resolu
ton. 1t is the introduction o
such resolutions that makes sensi
BILE men think it might be gooC
idea to require all bills and reso
lutions to be approved by an Of
fetal having authority to that o
the managing editor of news
| paper.
Much interest is felt in the Sc
! lection of new secretary of state
The president, who is now con
sidering the matter, fully realize
the Importance of selecting MAJ
big enough for the position and h,
will make no mistake. There i
no foundation for the various ru
mors of the position having beer
rendered to Mr.. Depew ard Others
no one has yet been offered th,
place.
Senator Quay is authority 70
the statement that the men VIII,
opposed the president in th'
national convention will all b,
found taking active parts in work
ing for the election of the ticket
just the same as if they hat
named the candidate. That's TIN
sort of talk, it is no more and n,
less than every republican has ;
| right to expect of every other re
j publican. While every MAJ
naturally has his personal prefer
ence it is the party and its grea
principles that have made the
