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., Schley. A GOOD COUGH SYRUP.
