WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 9.
The political pcodulum look a awing
. Bryao wards tbii week, but It did not puss
; the central point and still Inclines slight
ly to tbo McKinley side. ' taotbcr words.
, a careful tilling and compilation of opin
ion! of all the politicians who "visit or
write to titder tlie Brao or McKinlej
headquarters in Washington, makes it
' apparent to the nnn-partlan scek-r after
truth, which your correspondent endeav-
on to lie, that Mr. Bryan's chances have
aligbtly improved, hut that lie is not yet
00 an equal footing, ns to his chances for
' winning, with Mr. McKinley.,.' Utit It is
' notdooied by wll-inloroied men of all
. parties, when they are not talking for
. publication, that the battle is still uncle
-' cided in the pivotal States, and those who
have good political memories cannot have
lorgotten several Presidential elections
whlcn were won and lost during tbe last
ten days, or less, ot . tbe campaign All
that the best posted observer can do is to
.. keep up to date with the situation, so as
not to get left when it changes.
,- There is no mistaking the scare which
Mr.. Bryan's improved . chances i has
drought atHiut amunzthe 'minor officials
: in the go ernnient service, fh-y have an
. idea. ad if 'tie can believe the Chicago
. nlntlonn and Sir. Bryan's own words it
it proibly not far wrong, that if Mr.
Brviui incomes President there will be
one of those "clean sweeps'' to the hot
. ernment renr.ee which were once striking
- features of every change of administration
This si'are w beinji played upon 10 a cer
tain extent by both sides. Tbe Bryan
v men tblok it a g od thing to spread be
- oaqse the probability of an office ahead of
him never lessens the enthusiasm of a
'. practical political worker,' and the TU-
v publicans are so confident that It will re
: suit In enriching ibeir campaign fund
that a National Committeeman hss been
' designated to remain in Washington and
- receive the contributions, sod he has told
the clerks that McKinlej 'selection It their
only sslviitioo. ' 1

Hill declare for the ludianapjlls ticket
than to continue sulking during tbe ft-
mainder of the campaign. ' But na jpne
who knows Senator Hill expects him to
take that coarse. He has during all hii
political career been a stickler for regu
. larity and it U relieved that his dread of
becomioi a bolter would be enough if
. there were no other considerations to pre
vent hit openly declaring against tbe reg
alar nomioee of bis party. .
Ordinarily the return of tbe President
to Washington after his summer; vacation
excites no attention from the. politicians,
but this year It is different, and the pollti-
" - clans are quite aoxlons to know whether
President Cleveland, now that he Is aaln
in Waskington,intenda to attempt to take
a band in tbe campaign. With several of
the members of his Cabinet making gold
v speeches aod minor officials being Com
pel led to resign for working for silver, It
becomes a difficult task to say what Mr.
Cleveland will or will not do.i ; ' i

of tbe campaign in Tenneesxe, ll is fklr to
