WASHINGTON LETTER
From our Bejulir Correipondent
U Sirretnry Blaine in re
volt against the Administra
tion ukae regarding there
ehftion of Sen si tot Sherman?
Appearances indicate thathe
J is, and ex-do v. r oraker, who
is here in attendance upon
the meeting of the Republi
can Xa t ion all "o m m i t tee, held
today. w hile he efuses to talk
for publication, he loses no
opportunity to let ais per
sonal friends understa nd that
Mr. Blaine has premised him
his nid in the fight he is tank
king against Sherman. In con
sequence of the effect of the
free champagne which was
plentiful all day around the
hotel at which the republican
committee held its meeting,
one of Foraker's friends re
lated th? following as the
Blaine-Foraker programme;
"You know, of course, that
Blaire dislikes Sherman and
will be glad to see him end
his public career by being de
feated for the Senate; but
you probably do not know
that there is yet a stronger
incentive for Blaine to com
bine with Foraker, and that
is to prevent Ohio sending a
McKinley delegation to the
republican nominating con
vention next year. Mckin
ley is Blaine's pet aversion
and however theSenatorship
contest may end, Foraker
has undertaken, in exchange
for Blaine's influence against
Shermfln to control theState
delegat'on t o the national
convention and to prevent
the name of McKinley bf ing
presented to that conven
tion." Chairman J. S. Clarkson,
of the Rcpuh'taan National
Committee, has always rath
er priied himself on being
kr own ns a "practical politi
cian," and if the story that
is being told of his action con
cerning the decision ot the
committee as to the next
meeting place of the republi
can convention be true, he is
certainly the most 'practical'
politician ever at the head of
a national committee. The
story is that Mr. Clarkson
let it be known totheleading
men in the delegations from
the competing citie.j, that he
would like to know in wri
ting, how much their delega
tion could guarantee as a re
publican campaign contribu
tion next year, and that he
also informed them that he
intended using his influence,
which they well knew was all
powerful, ito have the com
mittee decide in favor of hold
ing the convention inthecity
which promised the largest
campaign contribution. It
is furth t said that this was
actually done by the several
delegations or parts of them,
and that the decision made
this afternoon was really in
favor of the city which had,
through its delegation given
a w ritten guarantee of a lar
ger cash contribution to the
epubliean campaign fund
.ban was offered by any of
its competitors. What think
you oi tha t tor practical
politics? And the man from
whose 'practical' brain this
very practical planwnsevolv
ed was elected by unanimous
v.te of the committee to suc
ceed to the vacancy in the
chairmanship made by Sena
tor Quay's resignation. A
worthy successor indeed.
The cures of administia
tion may be great and pres
sing, but Mr. Hamsun does
not forget to 'cast an anchor
o windward' in the propiti
ation of the Indiana 'nigger'
vote. One of them IV P.
Roberts, of Evausville, has
been appointed Recorder of
the General Land Office, to
take the place made vacant
by the resignation of the ne
gro preacher who went back
to Indiana for the openly a
vowed purpose of aiding to
get a Harrison delegation
from that State.
All sorts of improbable sto
ries concerning the Speaker
ship contest are being told
here for the purpose of aiding
or injuring this t. r that, can
didate, but there has really
nothing occurred heredur'ng
the week to either encourage
or discourage any one of the
candidates or his friends, al
though it is believed that
something may have taken
place in New Yoi k were sec ret
and none of those who at
tended any of them care to
sa " at this time what was
done. It is now apparent
that the majority of theMem-
bers of the Uou.se will notar
rive in Washington until af
ter Thanksgiving day; there
fore that the Speakership
fight will have to wait until
the turkey, etc., is disposed
of before it can get down to
business.
It is said that some of the
republican Representatives
will make a strong proiest
against giving ex-Speaker
Reed the repuolican nomina
tion for Speaker. There was
not a single republican in the
last House who was not a
Fraid of Mr. Reed, and if there
is one such elected to the new
House he has not been heard
of here. Mr. Reed will rule
the handful (if republicans in
the House with a rod of iron.
See if he does not.
Gov. ilill spent Friday and
Saturday in Washington ar
ranging.for quarters foi the
Congressional session.
What Will You Dot
The great battle of 1892
will be fought out this wiLter,
while men have time to read.
The crisis has come in the
history of the United States
when another victory of Pro
tection must be final. The
Protection ring o f 14,500
protected mill-owners organ
ized in 450 public and pri
vate Trusts and fattened by
McKinley tariff, will not have
to be put over the fire to fur
nish funds for 1892. Its sto
len millions will be disgorged
freely to deceive and delude
the voters. Truth and Hon
esty will fight an unequal
battle with it unless every
Democrat does his full duty
and enters zealously into the
work of converting the care
lebS and indifferent voters.

the newspaper attackH upon him
had cauml his unanimous PM-let
lion. That is the way they look
at t lie matter. Naw then what
will be dne in N jrth Carolina?
Some of the third party extrem
ists will insist upon its being put
on a footing here. Will Polkcome
here and make a 'campaign of via
dil ution,' as one man termed it
today? Polk's position is a very
dangerous one to occupy, for
ouie people now speak of him as
a trimmer. The ulliauce is cer
tainly divided ou the sub-treasury
question and the third party.
lut democrats had as well look
out, lor the third party is a snake
iu the grass. In fact, 18U2 bids
fuir to be as memorable a year
politically as lb70 was, though
the democrats will have other
things to contend with. One of
the Hculiar things just now is
the attitude of the republicans.
They were never so quiet, and do
cile to express even an opinion.
Some of them hoe for anything
which may turn up, while others
do not know what may happen.
There ih another class of people
who really believe that the for
mation of a third party will at
this juncture advancedemocratic
interest.
The latest, news from Brazil
indicates that a battle has
been fought before this be
tween the forces of Fonseca
and the Junta. Tt is report
ed that Fonseca has no wish
to restore Dom Pedro, but
that his ambition is purely
personal. The commander
of the Junta's forces is said
to be on"1 of the ablest sol
diers in the Brazilian army,
and that he is sanguine of
success over the dictator, as
Fonseca is called. The navy
which it was thought would
uphold the fortunes of Fon
seca, is growing lukewarm,
and that the Junta has se
cret information of itsfiiend
ship. The above news is
quite different from that
which comes from Chili, where
the recent elected President
of that republichas proposed
to cut down the army and
navy, thus giving assurance
of peace nt home and friend
ship with all nations. News
and Observer.
News and Observer: Presi
dent Fonseca, who attemped
to n av the ro e of dictator
in Brazil, has been forced to
resign, as recently announc
ed by our telegraphic news,
and from this quick deposi
tion of a man who appears
to have disregarded the voice
of the p?ople, we hope it may
be safely inferied that the
Republic of Brazil is on a per
manent fouudation.

know just what the alliance
will dj, but they will do some
thing to inakethemselvesfilt
in the election of 1892.
There was a falling off of
the alliance votcthisfnll.nnd
it is due largely to the fact
that there were a largenuin
ber of people who voted with
them before with theexpecta
tion of immediate results.
Like the children of Israel,
they were after the flesh pots.
They did not realize that the
work they had undertaken
was not the work of a day.
As soon as they had won
their first victory they thou
ght they were in siglif of the
promised land and wanted to
enter at once. Those persons
aresuffering momentarily the
effects of disappointment, but
the great working body of
the alliance is all right, and
the organization will b
felt at the next, election.

Mure Speculation.
People and editors will talk
and prophesy ns to the com
ing presidential election. One
paper is about ns wise as an
other in what is said, it is
guesswork and that is all
that can be said. The Louis
ville Courier Journal gives
the democrats a victory
258 votes. The republicans
are allowed 185. It takes
223 to elect. There nre no
doubtful states in this count .
But Connecticut, Indiana, I
owa, Massachusetts, New Jer
sey, New York, North Caioli
na, West Virginia all given
tothedemoerats are doubt
ful. It gives the democrats
four votes inMichianand ten
to the republicans. Monta
na, Iowa and perhaps one or
two other republican states
here tofore may be doubtful.
TheChicago 'Tribune', Hep.
gives the republicans 201 cer
tain votes; democrats 175.
There are 58 voles doubtful.
But it gives the democratsas
certain, New Jersey, North
Carolina and West Virginia.
It gives as certain to the ic
pnblieans Massachusetts and
Iowa. The democrats have
got to do two things to win-
to be thoroughly united and
to work hard udtil the close
of the fight. Messenger.
News and Observer: In the
death of Governor llovey, of
Indiana, President Harrison
is said to have lost one of his
principal lieutenants. It will
be remembered that during
the Presidential campaign of
1888, Governor llovey ac

Uev. Dr. R. G. Pearson writes
to the A she ville Citizen on
the aoth Oct.: Owing to the
existence of cholera in Da
mascus we have not yet been
able to enter Palestine, but
hope to do so before return
ing. We are haviig a de
lightful sojourn of ten days
in Cairo, the greatest city in
Africa, and which is to the
orient what Paris is to Eu
rope. We have vrossed the
Nile, visited the Alabaster
mosque, attended the great
Mohammedun u n i versi ty,
looked upon the traditional
spot where Moses was found
in the ark of bullrushes, have
ascended the top of the great
pyramid, taken a ride on cam
els, have seen the sphinx, and
have gone 1 hrough the great
Boulak museum, where, a.
mongmany other tilings ot
interest, we saw the mummy
of Barneses II, the Phaoh of
the Israclitish oppression.
Last night we visited an an

festival of the Egyptians,
where assembled ten thou
sand people.
They Went on Talking
A Franklin street girl isn't
troubled by her father any
more when the young men
ome around in the eveing.
Ybout a month ago she was
having a charming time with
a young fellow from South
Baltimore, when they heard
the old geutletnan shuffling
around at the head of the
stfiirs. They stopped talk
ing, and then they heard his
voice.
"Mary," it called complain
ingly.
"les papa, said Mary.
"Didn't I hear theclock down
there strike 11 a tew rniuutss
asro?"
'No papa,' she replied sweet
ly, ,'not unless you were out
in the h&W listening instead
of being in bed, where you
ought to be."
Then they heard him shut
tling away, and they resum
ed the conversation. Balti-
