Washington letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C., Aug 30th 1889.
There is a great clamor on the part ol
the various Slate Republican associatioi
of Washington for “recognition.” Dur
ing this week meetings have been belt!
by the associations and plans considered
tor rousting the enemy. The members
in no measured terms denounce (lie re
tail ion of the turn-coat republicans,
v. ho either went over to the enemy dur
ing the Cleveland administrate n,, 01
else maintained a masterly inactivity,
These State associations are of necessity
constituted of government clerks and
inasmuch as most of these organizations
died during the Cleveland administra
tion and were only reorganized after the
last election, it appears amusing to see
l he members pose as martyrs and lick
imaginary wounds. In the terse slang
of the street, ihe heads of departments
are “on to” these associations, They
are generally conducted by a clique ol
i our or five and are rarely representa
live of the employees of the State they
claim to represent. This was true of
even the boasted New York Democratic
Association of Mr. Cleveland’s adminis
tration, which has but a short popular
ity and was speedily know as the “Al
lans Association.” a mime given it by
“Sunset” Cox, who may be said to have
had nis own personal and private c > 11 -
victions concerning the friends of Mr.
C leveland who had known him in Al
bany and "dio cut such a wide swath
here for a year or so.
Ail this rage of the associations is due
to personal disappointments. After the
hist election, two thirds of the republi
can Holdovers, hundreds of whom were
Iron) doubtful states like New York and
wlo failed to go home and vote, expect
ed nothing less than tobe chiefs or assis
t mt. chiefs of divisions. Hundreds tal 1 -
i'd vaguely of gel ting paid for suffer
ings and services by appointment to pla
ces in some other department; That
these things have not been done is a
great and sore disappointment. Men
who have not been home to vote for ten
years and who have never paid one dol
lar of political assessments since Mr.
Cleveland’s inauguration, expect pro
motion purely on political grounds.
Sympathy for them is wasted. Even to
the victor belong the spoils and depart
mental clerkships belong arming the
spoils, it goes without saying that peo
ple who had nothing to do with the vic
tory except wait for it, are not entitled
to the spoils.
The President has been invited by Miss
Clara Barton to visit the Red Cross
headquarters at Jolintown, Pennsylva
nia, and will probably comply before
his return from Deer Park. Later in
the season probably during the extra
session of Congress an effort will be
made to secure a visit of representative
legislators to ! the scene of the Johnstown
disaster. Predident Harrison is one of
the members of the Red Cross Associa
tion being president of the board of con
sultation while the Secretary of War
and tiie Secretary of t he/freasury are the
trustees of the association, This arrange
ment lias existed since 1882.
Miss Clara Barton president of the as
sociation is a familiar figure in Wash
ington where her enthusiasm, courage
and organizing ability have long been
recognized. She is a woman whose
whole life is sacredly devoted to succor
ing tiie victims of war and disaster.

vs ill take It in cotton covering. The
