WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C., Nov, 8th 1889.
The leading Republicans nowin the
city are busy explaining the wholesale
defeat of Tuesday. The President him
self is silent and refuses to talk for pub
lication as to the occasion of tins Wa
terloo. Among his supporters and espe
pecially such henchmen as the Indian
apolis contingent, there are nothing but
long faces. Of course, it is natural to
any that a defeat of the administration
party in an off year is due to the person
al unpopularity of the President, but
that excuse cannot fully account for the
result of last Tuesday. One must look
further to discover the true reason.
Corporal Tanner, erstwhile Commis
sioner of Pensions, with characteristic
modesty, ventures the opinion that the
result in Ohio is to bV attributed to the
rage of ex-soldiers at the way he has
been treated by the administration, a
reason most comforting to that gentle
man. Assistant Postmaster General
Clarkson believes that fraud ruled in
Virginia and radical laws had disgusted
the people in Iowa and Ohio, He be.
lieves that Mr. Forakers popularity is
matchless and that he made a superb
fight. All those who care to talk and they
a re not many, say that the failure to di
vide all the spoils has had a great influ
enee upon the the rank and file of Re
publican party workers.
Ex-President Cleveland, who arrived
Wednesday night to attend the Bivard
Clvmer wedding and who is accompa
nied by liis wife, as beautiful as ever, is
delighted with the result, and regards it
as ail the other politicians do from a
personal standpoint. Blind to all the
surrounding circumstances, he attrib
utes it nil to the tariff question. He
.says, ‘it is evident that the leaven of
tariff reform lias 1 avened the whole
mass. The West, suffering from the un
just burden of tariff taxation, awakened.
The work goes on and the people have
given their verdict against the robber
tariff.”
The mob is no inspector of persons.
On Tuesday night a vast crowd surged
about the Post building awaiting tbe re
turns. which were at that hour all in fa
vor of Foraker. To relieve the monot
ony, the stereopticon man displayed the
pictures of wed known public men.
When the crowd recognized Grant there
were deafening c heers, which only in
creased when Garfield’s picture appear
ed on the canvas. When Cleveland^
features were displayed tlu* cheering be
came deafening. This continued when
Die pleasant face of Vice Prisident Mor
tal- was viewed. The operator had saved
President Harrison’s picture for the last
and when it dashed upon the transpa
rency, a low murmur ran through the
cro wd. A few spasmotic cheers here
and there in the cro d were heard, min
gled wit’u hisses. Can it be that Presi
dent Harrison is not exactly the god of
common
Congress will be called upon early in
the session to discover and put in force
some methods of relieving the Supreme
Court docket of its enormous burden of
cases. When the court opened this term
it found over 1,300 cases awaiting final
action. Without the filing of an addi
tional case, the regular terms for three
years would be occupied in clearing the
docket. But every year increases the
average number of cases filed. Widen
ing business transactions start legal
questions that as yet have not been an
swered by the courts. The Supreme
Court is inadequate to consider half of
them. As it is, suitors wait for years to
be heard or, warned by the example of
others, rather suffer injustice than ask
t he court for a decision that may not be
rendered in years.
Gen. Nelson Miles, commanding the
Division of the Pacific, has submitted his
annual report to the War Department.
On the subject of desertion, of which
there were 405 cases during the year out
of 6,040 men. Gen Miles, urges, among
other things, that their enlistment be
made for three instead of five years; that
si'rgeants be paid $50 a month, that the
artillery branch be increased, and that
men, so far as possible, be allowed to
choose in what division they shall serve.
On coast defenses, he says that to prop
erly defend the Pacific Coast would re
quire 573 guns and mortars, at a cost of
over thirty million dollars.,
