ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MONITOR

1ngCOn This week, In OrQ6r TO see Tor
himself that everything in the White
House, as well as in the city generally,
is in the proper condition to make
the very best impression possible
upon his comrades of the G. A. r.,
who will come to the encampment
next week. He will find everything
in ssapple pie ORDER" as the saying is,
and SO will the veterans. as there Ia a
unanimous determination on the part
of Washingtonians to Guido every
thing done by other cities and to make
encampment week memorable I'm the
annals of the National Capital, as well
as in those of the G.. A. R. The presi-
dent does not expect to leave Wash
ington for any extended period again
this year, unless the health of Mrs.
Harrison, who will 60 South to spend
the winter, compels him to 60 to her.
Washington is already beginning to
put on it's gala attire TO receive the
veterans who will begin to arrive by
the last of this week. The program
for encampment week is complete,
and every hour of time between a.
m. and midnight of each day from
Monday to Friday will be filed with
interesting and enjoyable events.
Committees will meet every train and
escort the old soldiers to the quarters
which have been allotted them.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon Ia one
of the advance guard of the Congress
sional army which is coming to Wash
ington to help make things pleasant
for the old soldiers. He is utilizing
the time before the encampment In
attending to some department bust
ness for his constituents. At the close
of the encampment he will return to
Oregon with the G.. A. r.. men from
the state, and take an aggressive part
| i'm the campaign. OF the general po-
litical outlook he says: Everything
hear makes the victory of Harrison
and Reid more certain. am satisfied
that New York will give Harrison
larger majority this year than i'm 1885,"
Asked about his own state, the sena-
tor said: "Oh, Oregon is all right; we
shall carry the state, as usual, not
withstanding the activity of the peo-
ple's party which may cast as many as
| 20, 900 votes in the state"
Speaking of the peoples party, IL
one may believe what is said by MEM
bers of that party who are high up in
it's official councils, it is rapidly going
to pieces in the South, where such
| great results had been so confidently
predicted for it. Governor Tillman
of South Carolina, whose recent sweep
ing victory over the regular democrat
ic organization in that state is fresh
in the minds of the public, is openly
accused by the editor of the peoples
party's national organ of being trai-
tor to the peoples party, and of hav-
ing used the farmers alliance as a
club to thump a rival democratic fac
ton, intending all the while to act
with the national democratic party
himself.
Hon.. J. N. Huston, who usually
knows everything worth knowing
about Indiana politics, ia i'm Washing
ton. He says: "both parties are hard
at work, with headquarters wide open
at indianapolis, and speakers busy
stumping the state. This week Gov.
Mckinley will begin a stumping tour
of the national gas region, and later
we will have other noted outside ora
tors. Republicans, with rare excep-
tions, which are becoming rarer, are
confident of success, and IL we sue
coed i'm our suit now in court, In over
throwing the present unjust and I'M
constitutional apportionment law we
shall certainly sweep the state"
| Democrats here snake no bones" of
saying publicly that Mr.. Cleveland has
got to recognize Senator Hill, no mat
/ ter how humiliating it may be to him,
| il he wishes to stand even the ghost
of chance of carrying New York,
without which he can not possibly be
elected.
The national democratic committee
has made a "dicker'' with the alliance
bosses i'm So Dakota, whereby the dem
ocrats of that state are bound TO sup
port the alliance, or third party state
ticket and the four electors are to be
equally divided between Cleveland
and Weaver. Senator Kyle 10 TO take
the stump for the fusion ticket and
