V.SIIIX(JTOX LETTER I'ron oar Regular Correspondent, (rent jts Mr. Ilanison's i''f i 1 11. 1 nil riK 1 11' 1 ... i.:., i ...... in . . i i ' a 1 iisui 1 umi oiniiuoii i rr san e he knew that Mr. Cleve land would again be his op ponent, and the "onL'rcnces he has held u ith the members of the Uepublican Xalion il committee, which is today in session here, have not had a tendency to add to its seren ity. These irin are practi cal po'iticians and as such they fully realize the situa tion and by some plain talk ing they l;ao endeavored to open Mr. Harrison's eyes to tlib dangers, which confront him, ami there are indica tions that thov have at hast partially succeeded. Nearly all of the democrat ic Senators ami Representa tives' who attended the con vention have returned to Washington, and, when one considers how many of them left here in favor of nomina ting some one else, it is real ly surprising to find the una nimity of opinion which now prevails among them regard ing the strength of the ticket and its chances to win. Some of them think the fight wHI be harder than others do. but thy all think lliat wiih a united effort Cleveland and Stevenson can beelected.and the democrat who doubts that such an effort will.be made is yet to be found. Rep resentative. Covert, a Tam many member of the House, says: "The ticket will receive the united support of the New York democrats; there are no traitors in Tammany flail." Another Tammany member says:. "I ha o no authority to speak for Sena tor Hill, but I will stake my existence that when the fight begins he will be found in the thickest of it working.for the election of the ticket. . His much caricatured motto, "I am a democrat," is not a sham." . Mr. Ste'-enson's nomination for Vice President, was most enthusiastically received by his very large circle of per sonal friends i n Washing ton. (,Whitelaw Reid was one of the originators of a scheme to get something for noth ing, which has sir.ee become more or less popular with newspaper . correspondents and. others having a ''pull" with the Congressional ap pointing powers.. It was a wny back in 18G." tint.. Mr. Reid, while servingasa Wash ington correspondent, . was appointed Assistant Libraii an of Congress, at a salary of $1,800 per annum. Mr. Reid was duly, sworn in and for quite a.long period he drew the salary, while a .ne gro whom he employed at $50 ; per month did the work. Thus it will le seen that Mr. Reid made an early begin ning in the "thrift" which la ter was thu cause of hit ma king the N". Y. Tribune a 'rat' establishment, aud of his vi olating the alien eoutract la bor law by importing cheap foreign laborers to do the stonework on hisOphirFurm residence. Shaking of It io!, lie made a hurried trip to Washing ton soon as he learned lliat some of tin' Harrison :nen were n hrining to drive.cn go Democratic convention ' i" n -' . . in fi...ii, 1 i,i tiJi.r .itl.

He frightened Mr. Har rison, it is fcnid, by claiming that it was only his (Rei I) being on the ticket, that had prevented an open revolt of the tricked :.laine wiugof the party, and Ihreatcniug, un less the schemetoa.sk him to retire from the ticket was at once squelched, to lead a le helli m against the odh-e-hol-drfs nomine Mr. Harrison pleaded ignoiance of the whole thing, not withstand ing proofs presented b.V Mr. Reid showing that it had or iginated with men whose re lations with the While House are ot the t loses t and. most confidential nature. I t i s good news t democrats that Reid will stick; he will throw thousands of voles to Cleve land and Stevenson, which they would not other wise get. Representative (Sites, of Alabama; is mil one of those who are in doubt as to who would be elected if the elec tion of President should bi uirown into l lie Mouse. J'.e said, speaking of the possi bility: "In the South the third tarty may succeed in w renting South Carolina and possibly North Carolina from the democrats, and in the west that party is strong in Kansas; Nebraska and the Pakotas, and, if it abandons soineol'its visionary schemes, it may draw enough votes in the silver states to take those states out of the republican column. If neither party con trols a majority of the elec toral college, this House would elect, which makes it certain, in myj n'lind, that drover Cleveland will be tin- next. President of the United States." The investigation of the Pension Office will not be completed until next winter, but the committee will, prob ably this week, present a re port tJ the House embody ing its findings up to date, very dirty and disgraceful findings! they Imve been, too. Jolm W. Foster Gets the Portfolio. Washington'.. J une2I). ThH President today sent to the Senate the nomination of John W. Foster, of Indiana, to be Secretary of State. The Senate this, afternoon piotnptly confirmed the nom ination ot John W. Foster as Secretary of State, and the President also this afternoon signed hisccmmission. This is probably the quickest case of the kind on record. The action of the Senate in con firming Mr. Foster's nomina tion almost immediately up on its reception, and without reference to the foreign rela tions committee,' is almost without precedent as hereto fore it tin' been customary to reserve t his honor for Sen ators in active service who are nominated for office.

Mr. Stevenson was born in IS'55, in Christian county. Kentucky, near the birth place of Abraham Lincoln. His oa rents removed from Xorth Carol, na to KentiM ky, i.e of Iim ancestors beim: signer of t h e Mecklen'.'iirg declaration of independeiUT. At twenty years of age Mr. j Stevensai; graduated from; Center college, Kentucky, and married Miss Let tie (liven, daughter of the president of that institution. Anionghis classina'es were S 11 a t o r Rlackhuru, Senator Pavid soit, of Florida; ex-(?overnor Mccreary and many other distinguished men. Soon af tr graduating Mr. Steven son removed to Illinois, where he studied la w with the late Pavid Pavi.-s and wasadinit ted t'j the bar at Rlooining ton. He rose rapidly in his profession, and was elected prosecuting attorney of Mc Lean county, lie was a pres idential electot in 1 S8 !-, anil twice elected to the house of representatives as a demo crat from a district largely republican. He was appoint ed first assistant postmaster general by Cleveland July 0, 18 S.". One of the last offi cial acts of President Cleve land was to nominate Mr. Stevenson for justice of the supreme c;nu t of the District of Columbia, but. the republi can senate failed ' act upon his nomination. Since his re tirement from the postollice department, he has been en gaged in the practice of law at Blooiniugton, III.

I am a democrat in the ful lest sense of the word, and especially so Bince our party has adopted such a plaTorm as. it did in Chicago last week. This platform will satisfy ev ery t rue democrat.
