President Cleveland will return to tho
White House this week and il is presumed,
although not certain, that Mrs Cleveland
and the children will accompany him.
The White House has been cleaned from
cellar to garret, force of men having
been working from the day the President
and his family left until Saturday night,
to brighten up things for the winter sea-
son.
Secretary Carlisle has almost consented
to deliver several speeches in Indiana and
New York and the pressure Is so great that
there is little doubt that he will in the end
suecumb. II vas not because he had any
objection to making speeches or doing any
thing else that is proper to aid the demo-
cratic party that he at frst declined to
make these speeches. but because he is
very busy and expects to continue so until
after the meeting OF Congress, and because
importance that democrats all over the
country will attach to his speeches. The
last Is the hardest to overcome. BY work
ing overtime he can make up for the time
lost. bat it Is difficult to convince a man as
free from anything approaching The big
head as Secretary Carlisle is. that anything
be may say or do will be powerful factor
towards the success of his party.
Secretary Gresham, who returned from
Chicago few days ago, says be found the
democrats of Illinois in better shape inan

the situation, AMI that he thinks The rarty
will hold its own in The Congressional dis
tricts and will control tine Legislature,
which will elect Senator Culom' 5 successor.
Now for a surprise. | have just learned
from Trustworthy source that there is a
strong probability that Secretary Gresham
will speak, both in Illinois aud Indiana,
before the close Of the campaign.
