OF accompanying the rcst Of the Cabi-
net to indianapolis to attend Mrs,
Harrison's funeral, and the assump-
ton OF republican confidence which
Ia now going on is the direct result of
that conference and indicates to a
certainty that something tricky is a.
bout to be sprung by the republican
managers.
Mr.. Harrison has so far refused to
talk politics since the death of Mrs.
Harrison, but l have it on good auth
ority-the same that informed me of
Quay's last visit twenty four hours
before st was known in any Washing
ton newspaper office-that Senator
Quay will come here this week for the
purpose Of laying the situation before
Mr.. Harrison and trying to get him to
agree to certain desperate measures
which it is proposed to resort to in
the attempt to carry New York. Pri-
vate Secretary Halford says Mr.. Har-
rison will take no part whatever in
the remainder OF the campaign, but
all the same predict that he will see
Quay when he comes.
Not for years have the prominent
democrats who come to Washington
been so thoroughly imbued with con-
fidence that the party is on the eve of
one OF the greatest victories of its
history as they are now.
Senator Carlisle lost his vote by
failing to remember the date OF the
last registration day in Kentucky He
regrets it, of course. not because his
vote is necessary-the widest republi-
can rainbow chaser has not, even in
his most enthusiastic preditions. class
ed Kentucky as n doubtful state-but
because he wanted the honor of voting
for the next democratic President.
However, the Senator should not wor-
70 as his speeches in other states, par
ticularly in New York, have made
Cleveland and Stevenson votes where
they will do more good than his could
possibly have done in Kentucky.
w. Il. Michael, u protege OF Senator
Henderson, of Nebraska, has dis
graced himself in the eyes of all hor-
orable Union Veterans and has been
promptly called down by the COM
mander Of the National Union Veterns'
Union. Michael is a clerk to the
Senate Committee on printing, and he
was a short time ago elected Com
mader OF Department of the Potomac
District Of Columbia, Virginia and
Maryland Union Veterans Union. A
lew days ago, while the national COM
mander of the organization was away,
Michael sent broadcast an official
order directing all members Of the
Union to work and vote for Harrison.
The order created a rumpus in the
which has many demo-
ratio members, and as soon as Gen. !
Toder, the National Commander, re-
urned to the city he issued an order
'evoklng that Of Michael and suspend
ng that over shart individual from
tiiice as Commander Of the Depart
nent of the Potomac. Gen. Yoder's
rider, which was sent to every de- I
'artment, emphasizes the fact that
he organization is non-partisan and
must be pept so, Gem Yoder is a
lemocra., but politics have nothing to I
10 with his act. which is deserving of I
he commentator it is getting from
eterans Of all shades Of political
pinions.
All OF the good things said about
Attorney General Miller when he an
ounced himself rs being opposed TO
MEMBERS of the Cabinet making polit-
cal stump speeches will have TO be
ecalled. He has seen what Senator
ILL calls ga now light" AMI he is not /
My willing to condone the offence he
0 recently condemned, but he has ac-
ually gone to West Virginia to meet
&c. Elkins and help him make some
peeches.
Mr. Blaine is very quietly spending
is time at his Washington residence.
nd If he is doing the slightest thing
owards helping the republican ticket
is not apparent to ordinary obser-
ers. Unless be very suddenly changes
is mind he Mi not go home to vote.
II all the denocratic roosters are
OF loudly growing for victory on the
lornsng o. November 8. the visible
gins OF the political armament falsify
le situation, Tor they will point TO
lie certain and t,.inmphant election
Cleveland and Stevenson.
