WASHINGTON. D. {. May =, 1892.
Presidential politics were lugsei into
the House this week 10y the Harrison
and Harrison Republicans Rep
rcSeutatlve Henderson, Of iowa, made "a
buukum speech crItCISlng Mr.. Harrison
for not having given the negroes repre-
seutatiuu on the board OF managers OF
the WorlTs Fair, which was replied to
bv Representative Johnson, OF Indiana,
who Is known to hc very Close To- Mr..
Harrison Mr.. Johnson created some
excitement 10y letting the cat out OF the
bag concerning the Infamous Force hll.
which Mr.. Harrison Is still intent upon
having enacted :nto a law, If ms party
can secure control of the House and
elect the President again. Mr.. Johnson
INDUCED in the stock abuse OF Demo
Gratis i'm the South for their treatment OF
the poor negro, which Mr.. Harrison
doubtless hopes will have a good effect
upon the negro delegates to the Mnnea-
polls conventiOn. Democrats We're de
lighted ut this open avOwal OF close
and confidential friend OF Mr.. Harrison ;
that the Force bill Is not dead, but only
slceping-it will be worth thousands OF
votes To Democratic candidates for the
House. aS well a to the electoral ticket.
Since the arrival of Commander-in-
Chief John G.. New, early this week, the
Harrison army has dropped its meek, by
leave Of Mr.-BlaIne air, and from tins
time on it will fight for Mr.. Harrison =
nomination. The anti : also, under
command of Boss ClarksOn, have their
fighting blood up, and the wounds left
by the battle royal that Is to be fought
at Minneapolis viii make it all the easier
To elect the ticket nominated at Chicago.
Mr.. Cleveland's friends are anxious for
the Republicans to nominate Blaine, rs
they believe his nomination viii remove
all doubt aS 10 the nomination OF Mr.
Cleveland at Chicago, and they are con
iidcnt that he cOuldl beat Blaine worse
than he did in loSi.
The action of the Democratic caucus
in deciding to push the regular approprl-
alton bills. IN the House, ahead OF every
| thing else, and to secure an adjourn
meut AT the earliest possible date, was
disappointing 10 many members inter
| cstcd in legislation which they had hoped
To have disposed of at this session, but
| the very large majority 10y which the
! caucus adopted il demonstrated that It
was deemed the proper action to take.
There can be no doubt that the sooner
| the House can pass all OF the necessary
appropriation bills and demonstrate to
| the country that it Is ready for an adj
! iournment, the better it viii be for the
| Democratic party.
The refusal Of Secretary RusE to ask
! Congress for an appropriation TO be
! spent 10y the alleged rain-maker, Dyren-
! forth, had no effect upon that cheeky
| and slick-tongucd individual. He has
talked with such good purpose to the
| Senate committee on agriculture that
| Senator Pettigrew offered an amendment
! to the agricultural bill appropriatlng
| $40. 600 for rain-making experiments.
| That is lust Sl5, 600 more than Dyren-
forth asked for, and he is corresponding
| ly happy; but his jubilation will beshOrt,
| as the House will not allow this money
| to be thus thrown down a rat-hOle, 50 to
! speak, whatever the Senate may do.
! Teddy Roosevelt is again after Mr..
| Wanamaker, whose testimony relating
| TO the violations Of the civil service law
! 10y the employees Of the Baltimore post
! Office contains .'slandcrous falsehoods. -
! This is the second time that Teddy has
| publicly accused the Postmaster General
|
Senator Morgan Is encouraged by the
! vote-2S to 17-by which the Senate de
! feated Mr. Nurrill's motion to refer his
! resolution, directing the committee on
| finance to make an examination and re-
! port in relation to currency and coinage,
| and as to the effect Of the act of July,
/ 1890, on which the price Of silver bullion,
to that committee, to hope that the sen
ate will adopt the resolution. Senator
| sherman says that to adopt the TesOlu.
| ton would be to instruct the finance
committee to report a free coinage bill
Only three Democratic SenatOTs-Gray,
Palmer and Nilas-voted for Mr.. Nor,
rill's motion, the adoption Of which
would be considered equivalent to defeat
ing Mr.. MOrgan's resolution. Senator
Hill was present, but he did not vote.
The National Silver Convention is il
session here. Among the several hun
dred delegates from nearly all the state
are number of Peoples party men anC
Knights Of Labor. The convention hope
to succeed in getting some silver leglsla
ton from Congress.
Secretary Noble has scored anothe
) failure IN his attempt to get Mr.. Harrl
son to get rid of Commissioner Raun
before the investigating committee make

that he feared the effect on the sOldie
