WASHINGTON LETTER.
From the Unions Special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, d. G. July %, 1894.
One Of the most extraordinary per-
formances ever known in the course of
legislation is the attempt of Cleveland
to force the senate to accept his terms
on coal and iron, and to force the house
to accept the sugar schedule. That he
should have written such letter while
the bill was in conference and told the
legislative branch of the government
what the details should be of the legis-
lation to be agreed upon and submitted
to him. I never saw set of men so
mad as were the Democratic members
of the senate after they had read the
letter.
Cleveland does a great many things
that would not be tolerated in any
other man. The blind mugwump faith
in Cleveland is something wonderful.
Nothing that he does can call forth
any criticism. It is curious fact that
his letter is an endorsement of the
position taken by Dave Hill, and yet in
endorsing Cleveland the mugwumps
and other Democrats denounce Hill.
It is case of saint and sinner.
Senator Washburn is watching the
progress of the river and harbor bill in
conference. He is anxious to hold in
the bill all the amendments he secured
in the senate. The provision which
failed in the house, for a survey Of a
route to connect the waters of Superior
with the Mississippi, meets with some
opposition, and it is possible that it
cannot be retained. The house mem
bers of the conference committee are
very much opposed to it.

Quantities of letters and kilograms
come to Senator Davis endorsing his
course regarding the strike. The
Minnesota senator is getting quite q
presidential boom on account of it.
Some of the political guessers down
here seem to think that Merriam is il
the race for the senatorship, and that
if enough candidates can be developed
to lay out Washburn that he will be
available. .',. .~a 49,
McCleary stayed here and sawed

country. I have heard dozen leading
Democrats say recently that their
party was great in the minority, but
utterly worthless when the majority.

When the anti-option bill came over
to the senate it remained untouched
for some time. Senator Washburn re.

could be considered.
