WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From Our Regular Correspondent)

doubt, rather tlnfayOrable this week. |
If the President cannot go he will re-
quest Vice President Morton to take
his place and all of the members OF
the Cabinet have promised to at
tend.
National committee men Garrison,
of Iowa, and Hobart, Of New Jersey,
lett their duties at headquarters this
week long enough to bold several
highly important political conferences
iii Washington, among them one
with the President and another with
Secretary Charles Foster They
brought cheering news OF the cam
paign. Gen Garrison says New YORK
is certain to give its electoral vote
to Harrison and Reid and that there
is a good fighting chance in both Con
necticut and New Jersey; that the re
cent change of sentiment i'll favor OF
the republicans in Wisconsin, brought
about by ex-senator SpOoner's
splendid and aggressive campaign,
has made that state certain; that
Minnesota and Iowa have already
placed themselves iii the certain col
umn, and thatsall the Information re-
reiyed from the Dakotas and NebraS3-
ka favor repub ,ical success in those
States. Even granting said Gen.
ClarksOn, chat the south remains
solid, which is very doubtful, whore
can the democrats get the other III
electoral votes that they must have
to win? They cannot get Them
that's all there is about it, aud Mi.
Cleveland is doomed" Cen. Hobart
thinks that Il fair elect i'll New
Scrsey will give that state to the re
Dublicans 10y at least 1000, and us
Jersey City, whore most OF the fraud
u!ent voting has been done, is now
under the republican control the
chances are i'll favor OF Il fair Gle
elton.
Secretary Charles Foster left here
today upon a trip combining cam
paigning with recreation that viii
last until elec ton day. He starts
campaigning with Il speech tonight
at a big republican rally at Friedrich,
Maryland. Then he will go to the
Catskills, on the II inst. will make q
speech at Gouyerneur, New York. On
the II, he will meet as many OF the
Cabinet as can attend iii New \ ~rk
City to participate in the Columbus
Day Celebration then to Ohio and
work, night and day, until the cam
paign closes. Speaking OF the situa-
ton bt f >re leaving here, the Secretary
sni ii: Il think the President Will be
reelected in fact there has never been
any doubt i'll my mind upon that
point. SO far as the Greshman in
slucnce is concerned | know very
little, Indiana is usually ii demo-
cratic state except Presidentia years
althouw believe the democrats have
once in Il while carried it even then
However. the close friends OF the
President from Indiana, men who
would not hesitate to tell him the
exact situation, say that he is sure to
carry it. The republicans viii carry
both New York and Connecticut and
with them OF course II majority OF
the votes in the electoral college
A smile went around among re-
Dubiicans when the democrats began
to shout because OF the announce
mcnt that Judge Cooley of Michigan
would vote for Cleveland, Ar. Cieve
land, when President, appointed
Judg Cooley Il member OF the Inter
state commerce commission, and the
Judge has already voted for MIR,
Cleveland, certainly in 1888. and pro-
badly in 1884. Another broad smile
greeted the column letter OF Wayne
McTeigh. who because OF his being the
son-in-law OF the old republican stae-
wart, Simon Cameron, was taken
into President Gariield's cabinet as
Attorney General, explaining why he
should vote for Cleveland, an explain
alton entirely unnecessary, because
nobody cared Il brass button how he
intended to vote.
Quite a number OF democrats who
attended the convention OF the Nat |
ional Associa ton Of democratic clubs |
in New York this week, are at pres !
ept in " ashingtun, but the affair |
was such iizzle. the attendancenot- I
understanding offers OF free transpor-
tation, free hoard and free whiskey,
being about one fifth of what had |
been up to a few weeks ago expected, |

those who wore the club badges OF
distant states were men from the
