Washington Letter.
From cur regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON, Sept. "a, 1894.
President Cleveland and Secretary Car.
Isle, both Of whom know how to appreei-
ate humorous situation, must enjoy the
wild guesses OF the newspaper men who are
trying TO build political sensations upon the
very slender fouudation OF the President |
and Mrs Cleveland having invited Secretary
and Mrs Carlisle TO spend a week at Gray |
Gables Surely it is difficult for man
possessed Of ordinary common sense 10 dis.
cover anything sensational in the visit. |
Mr. Cleveland probably thought tina. Sec-
fetary CARLISLE needed weeks rest after |
the harrassing work he has done in con-
neetion with the new tariff into running |
ordor, and that he and Mrs Cleveland would !
enjoy The company OF Mr. and Mrs Carlisle,
hence the invitation. That the two gentle !
men will Discus political me ters is per-
fectly natural ss a congressional campaign |
is on and every bo iy else Is discussing the |
isame thing; but Il is arrant nonsense to say |
that the visit has bsen Eaide because Of any
NttsiNs - WAa 49,
perfectly natural that Senator Flulkner,
chairman of The Demoera,l: Congressional
Campaign Committee. should call mpon
Secretary Carlisle before he !ett Washing
ton, 10 give him AL the Information in
possession Of the conlmi.tee concerning the
present status Of the campaign end the
ontlSok fer democratic success. No man
can be more deeply interested In the CAM
paig7 than is Mr. Cleveland. Only u man
who draws a salary for doing 50 wonld
pretend to find anything Sensational in all
this aud no one e.se Is doing so.
Representative Tarsney, of Missouri.
rho has been renominated and who i
now in Washington. reports his state as
being all right. and bis own re election he
regards as certain. Speaking of the cam
paign generally in Missouri. be said: 81
attended democratic meeting last Tues
day at Lexington. and never saw more
enthusiastic gathering in any previous
campaign. Reports from ali over the slate
indicate the same feeling everywhere.
do not think there Is possibility Of loos-
ing more than cne democratic Congress
man, and even that is cot certainty.
