WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, Nov 20, 1885:
Editor of the Morganton Star :
Everything in Washington is
bustle and preparation for Congress
and the social season. Senators
and Representatives are dropping
in the city, and the crowds on
Pennsylvania avenue are larger
every day. Men talk politics, the
work of the
coming
session, the
probable attitude of the Senate to
the President, the Speakership, and
the leadership of the Republican
minority in the House, which will
be decided soon in caucus. Ladies
talk dinners, receptions, and toilets.
They are under the influence of
milliners and modistes, in prepara
tion for the part they are to take
in society's winter carnival.
majority of the Senators are oppos
ed to him in politics. Some Demo
cratic Senators are opposed to the
course he has pursued in regard to
appointments. Some of these have
declared their intention of oppos
ing him on the ground that his
nominations are not Democratic in
the sense that they should be, and
further as a means of forcing him
to make more changes than he
seems inelined to make. To the
Senate thus constituted, the Presi
dent will have to submit a variety
of nominations. Its attitude to
wards him will be watched with
great interest.

season always brings a large num
ber of visitors to Washington.
The improvement in business this
fall will be felt in that way here.
Then a long session of Congress al
ways brings a larger crowd than a
short one.
