WASHINGTON LETTER.


| WhohANGAAtfNt mug ~ AoS@s
Senator Voorhees, has been ''talking out in
meeting" about his recent visit to the Dem
ocratic national head quarters, in New York
city, and his talk is far from complimentary
to those in charge. He is credited with say
ing that Harrity aud Dickinson are both i'd
lots, as far as national politics are concerned,
aud that the entire Democratic campaign has
as far as it hasgoRe has been batch of errors,
for which Whitney is as much responsible
as Harrity and Dickinson. Mr.. Voorhees,
tells his Democratic friends that if the cleo
ton were to be held now, Cleveland could
not carry New York to save his life, and
that he saw nothing when there to base any
hopes for an improvement in the situation.
This information from Senator Voorhees, is,
so far as it refers to New York State, in &C
cord with that received through Republican
sources. Senator Perkins, of Kansas who
has been in New York, says he found the
Republicans in good shape all around, and
that the campaign is beisg vigorously aud
intelligently pushed, and that he has not the
slightest doubt of the election of Harrison
aud Reid by larger electoral vote than that
cast for Harrison and Morton. OF his own
State MI. Perkins says; I'VE have a hot
fight on our hands, with the Democratic
party swallowed up by the so-called peoples
party, but you may put it down as certain
that we are going to redeem Kansas this year
The campaign has progressed far enough to
make it absolutely certain that the Republi
can State ticket and at least FIVE Congress
men will be elected, aud before November
we expect to be certain efthe rest of the
Congressman aud are ofthe electoral ticket.
The prosperity of the farmers Of our State is
leaving the demagogues, whose stock in
trade is woe, without argument.
If the cholora gets into the United States |
it will not be because Of any lack of effort on
the part Of the Marine Hospital Service to
keep it out, although it is absolutely neces-
sary that the various State aud city health
shoHld intelligentlY cooperate
with this bureau to make the quarantine act
uallY preventive. The Marine Hosital
Service, which is a bureau of the Treasury
department, has control ofthe Congressional
appropriation known as the epidemic fund,
which will be used to keep out this dreaded
disease. Collectors Of customs at all ports of
entry will act in conjunction with the Mar
inc Hospital Service, and while there may
be isolated cases of the choloTa which will
svade the Yiligence of the quarantine author
ties and getinto some ofour seaDoard cities,
i is believed that the precautions taken will
make it impossible for it to become cpl
lemic.
A local Democrat ofprominence says that
Whitney told him that Mr.. Cleveland would
ry in his letter Of acceptance to tone down :
he effect of the plain spoken free trade
flank in tina national ple yhich is DO
Vew Jersey, and ConnectiS 81. ~ which
e must carry to be elected. IL is too late !,
Of any toning down process, and nothing
hat Mr.. Cleveland can say in his letter eau :
hange the issue of this eampaign-protec- !
on vs. free taade.
Much regret is expressed here at the an -
that Senator Dawes, Of Massa
husetts, whose term expires March 4, 1893,
i'll not be candidate for re election, Mr. v
awes has been one Of the wheel horses Of
lie Republican party for SO many years that
is absence cannot fail to be felt; but there "
consolation in the fact that Massachusetts
as many able Republicans aud that his sue.
'ssor is certain to be good man.
The most troublesome problem that the W
iizeus committee IN charge ofthe C. A. r.
icampment had to deal with has been
solved. That was to arrange w
