WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Special Correspondence Democrat.
Washington,D.C., Feb. 29, 1884.—
“That the fight for the Presidential
nomination has been fairly inaugurated
is now clearly evidenced on all sides.
The marshalling of the hosts has com¬
menced and every indication points to
acitnpaign for the next one hundred
days unequalled in the history of party
politics. The foolish notion has taken
possession of the brain of many repub
licans, that that party w - c ’
and in consequence candidates without
number are springing up in all direc
tions, not alone for the nomination for
President but for Vice-President also,
while the business of kenifing is being
flayed with a liberal baud. Arthur,
the Administration candidate, appa
rently had the lead a few weeks since,
but to-day he is far in the rear. Grant,
Conkhng, . ... Platt, ... ... and ... the whole . 306 fo -
lowing are now in full cry against him,
while Blaine,Sherman,Logan, Edmunds
and others are forging to the front. It
is by many doubted whether Arthur
Will be named in the convention. His
strength has been counted largely in
the South, but lete developments snow
that even there he is losing strength
e’-ery day, while among those who are
anxious to take second place on the
ticket none are willing to form an alii
ance with Arthur. It is now said that
ben Butterworth, of Ohio, whom Ar¬
thur recently appointed Commissioner
bt Patents has been Selected to make
the show of a race with him. This
looks like selecting very small timber,
but it seems to be about the only kind
that the administration selects or can
get, It is said that with all the army
Of Republican patriots who are always
ready to serve the country for a salary,
about the tallest timber Arthur can
get to come into his administration to
take the place of Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury is Butler, late appoint¬
ment clerk, who suceeeded in making
himself obnoxious to every one who
came in contact with him.aud Webster,
the chiei clerk, whom Garfield thought
unfitted to be even Register of Wills
of the district.
Blaine lias been playing the game of
the artful dodger ; he.has pretty effec¬
tually fooled Ins euemies in the party
into the belief that he was not a can¬
didate, while his friends have been
at workW.ud are now) begin nii'fK
to sliSw their bauds. Sherman also
has beeu playing the quiet dodge, but
his friends are now heartily
at work aud predict for him success.
Logan has been open and outspoken
in his candicacy and relies upon the
306 following of 1880, together with
what he can gather from the Blaine
army when it is compelled to disband*
at he ant ins frieit-ls think it will. Ed
iuouds lias a pretty good following, but
it is scattered and does not appear to
to hive qrysti’.ixed as has that of the
Others, but among the wisest and
Shrewdest manipulators and far-seeing
poli icians he is looked upon as the
Second choice of tlie friends of the oth¬
ers, And is about as likely as either of
the prominent candidates to receive
the nomination, it is pretty evident
And conceded by those who understand
the drift of matters and discern the
Undercurrent of popular feeling, that
nominate who they may the Republican
party is pretty sure to founder. Against
every prominent candidate there are
factions in the party ttiat cannot be
tallied to their support. There has
been so much duplicity, ingratitude
And selfish ambition displayed by each
or all, that antagonisms have beeu
created that cannot be obliterated.
Many of the best readers of the drift
t)f public opinion, among the Republi
Cans, privately concede that Democrat
ic success can only be averted by Dem
ocratic blunders. That with ordinary
wisdom displayed Republican defeat
is inevitable, It is no uncommon tiling
to hear Rupubhcaus talkmg among
themselves admitting that they nave
not the available 1 residential timber to
compare with tne Democrats.
While this is the undoubted case,
there are very few prominently Presi- men
tioned in connection with the
dential nomination, and it now ap
pears from the best attainable sources
df information, that ere the conven
tieii meets the contest will be narrowed
down to probably four candidates
McDonald, of Indiana ; Payne, of
Ohio; Randall, of Pennsylvania, aud
Flower, of New York.
It may be stated that if Mr. Tilden
were ten years younger there is no
doubt that he would be nominated and
triumphantly eleeted, and by a much
Urger majority than that by .which
he was elected in 1876, but having
reached the ripe age of <0 years, en
feebled in health, he preemptonly used and refu- he
ees to allow his name to be
