:wAsH1NeroN LETTER.

Perhaps those who pooh-pooh the
idea that Mr. Cleveland is seriously
working for a denomination for :
third tenn for himself are right, but
so far as indications can be trusted
they are wrong. The following sum-
mary of the situation is made by a
Democratic ex-Congressman-COnn
of Indiana: The administration
was never before so much in politics.
Democratic dissension in Kentucky,
MARYLAND and Ohio has aroused the
turgid partisanship Of President
Cleveland and instead of breaking
out in chOleric plstitudes he is using
the machinery of the administration
to bring sweet peace to warning Dem
Ocratic factions in the interests OF
his third term. German, with his
sugar trust record; Brice, the cham
pion Of senatorial corporate rings,
and Blackburn, the free silver idol,
have suddenly become endowed with
angelic qualities, and, because they
are supposed to control the party
majority in their respective States,
they are being held to the Presi-
dents heart to be warmed into Cleve-
land Democratic life. To Secretary
Carlisle is entrusted the conversion
of Kentucky Bourbonism. His voice
will soon be mingled in unison with
that of Free Silver Joe in behalf Of
party harmony, whether it comes
from a l6 to l calamity organ or a
gold mounted corporation concert
grand, just so it is equipped VITA
Cleveland sub-bass attachment. III
the Democratic deed of trust which
Senator Brice carries in his inside
pocket can also be franked with the
Cleveland cuckoo crest, Ohio will be
as safe for a third term as if counted
among the heavenly host. But in
Maryland the situation is somewhat
different Senator Germans pull is
only a three finger hold, and it is
doubtful if even President Cleve-
lands magnetic influence will mes
merize enough Democrats to elect
the ring ticket. To complete the
circuit and turn third term current |
into the next national convention it
will also be necessary to capture
New York, Indiana and another i'm.
portant state or two. New York
has its Democratic troubles, for which
Senator Hill holds the panacea, and
the next effort of President Cleve-
land will probably be to secure con-
troll of the Senator's medicine box.
Indiana is considerably wrought up
over the silver question and it will
be necessary to proselyte Senator
Voorhees, in order TO vote that del
egatiOn, This was done once before
and perhaps the same charm can be
worked again. In any event an ex-
effort is being made to
wheel the Democracy into line for
a third term and a con-
of the national fishing club

The publication of Secretary La
monts very generous offer to adj
vance $4,000 from his own pocket
% be used in paying soldiers salar-
es, Congress having failed to appro-
pirate enough for that purpose while
t could not be legally accepted,
Ierved to draw attention to the diff
erence between Dan Lamont's finan- ,
,ial circumstances when he made his {
lebut in Washington as Mr.. Cleve-
and's Private Secretary and at this :
ime. Then he was so poor that Mr.. {
cleveland paid him 81 900 a year in '
edition to the salary of Private Sec g
etary, in order that he might be able /
0 keep up with his family a respect O
bic social appearance Now he Il
alks of advancing $4,000 as non d
as he would then have RI
sked a friend to take a beer with G
i'm. Dan isn't the only one of the v
rowd who has got rich. Mr. Cleve- b
md has become a multi'millionaire T

re now wealthy. d
