WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 8.
1t is as fashionable as profitable to
speculate upon the far reaching effects
of the expressed sentiment of the country
as ascertained last Tuesday. There is a
disposition to concur in the opinion that
Mr.. German will have all that he can
reasonably undertake to stay in the SEN
ate, and can postpone any glances down
the avenue. Mr.. Brice can snatch few
hasty moments from a whirl in the Street
and devote them to getting in again. Mr.
Hill has walking before him to get
back to Washington as a Senator and
can defer any further demonstrations on
the nomination.
Now turn the glass on the Republican
probabilities. Has the well rounded ma
jority in Ohio helped Mckinley Any
body can carry Ohio on the Republican
ticket, said a well-read Buckeye politl-
clan yesterday-even yaller dog. So
it will not RI quire Mr. Mckinley. The
compact and enthusiastic legions of the
West are not enthusiastic about noit1
easter like Reed Mr. Harrison has b
prestige of defeat and the ill will of the
promoters of the new scheme, SO all
minds seem to set to Allison. His
chances have advanced everywhere.
He is trusted by the older heads, has
no antagonisms to worry him aud no
breaches to heal. He comes from a sec
ton of the country that is in position to
demand and that has not wearied the
country with importantly.
To go back to the Democrats, the de-
feats all along the lines have united all
the quarrelling leaders in a common
woe. No one can say to another ''you
failed to keep your tribe in line" They
all failed and each can say to the other,
with Uncle Jake Longs old woman in
Alamance, "Don't you think | have
played b l." and the other will say
s'amen."
A fat old lady who was asthmatic and
blowed IN between sentences married a
good for nothing fellow addicted to
leisure and liquor and who was com
monty called Bill After he got the
widow he confscated her butter, chick

sold them tor liquor. Repentance di-
rected her to lawyer Parker who got her
bill of divorce from bed and board
On her return home she found Bill
doing business at the same old
stand. Meeting the genial Jake
she said to him: 'Lagyer, you

Mr. Long called on Postmaster Gen
eral Wilson on business last Wednesday,
and had the pleasure of the usual wait
while the official was at lunch. He be-
gan his interview by telling the Post
master that he was disposed to doubt the
veracity of the Celberus who watches at
the door, because he did Lot believe that
any we'll regulated Democrat had any
appetite for lunch, and he got into
the good graces of the learned
West Virginian without more
ado, and if he did not get what he
wanted it was because it wasn't in
stock.
Senator Edmunds says that the Gov.
ernment can raise all the money it needs
for absolute expenses by increasing the
exc sc duties and that the tariff will not
be greatly changed.
Mr. VIM. E. Russell, one of the best of
newspaper correspondents, sends the fol
lowing interview with a member OF Mr.
Cleyeland's cabinet to the Chicago
Record. No name is given, but the view
from the inside of the administration is
interesting and rare enough to reprint
