Sonator Dalamator has denied tho report that hn Is seeking tho U. S. Senatorshlp. Tho friends of Mayor Fit ler of Philadelphia havo proposed the latter as a candidato against Sonator Gameion. Tho Independent Republicans havo given notico that they will bo satisfied with nothing short of tho retirement of Quay from tho loadorship of tho republican party. WA8HINQT0H LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Nov. 21, 1890. Mr. Harrison and Mr. Blaine oau not oontinuo their piosont rotations much longer, unless thero is a radioal ohango of mindon tho part of ono of thorn. That becomes plainer and plainer every day to thoso familiar with tho inslBo workings of tho admin btration. Mr. Harrison has finished his message, and it ha boon shown to every member of tho cabnet, except Mr. Blaine. Tho reason for this action on tho part of Mr. Harrison is that ho has cone direotly contrary to tho viows of Mr. Blaine, on at least two important matters dealt with by the.mossago, and ho has delayed show ing tbe message to Mr. Blaine, fearing that it might cause an open row be tween them. Of coarso it will havo to be shown to Secretary of Stato be fore Congress meets but thero will be no trouble, bo far as Mr. Blaine is con cerned. Ho made up his mind when tho McKinlov bill became a law that tho republican patty was doomed, and foundation in faot for any of those roasons. Tho only proper way to ro- movo tho marked ballot fcaturo of tho constitution is by moans of a constitut ional convention, and this also can bo provided for. Between tho opening of tho legisla tive session and tho spring election thero will bo nearly six woeks. This will bt- plenty of time in whioh to pass a ballot reform law and provide for tho nescmblitiir of a constitutional conven tion. This quoetton can bo voted for at tho February election, and as tholr is no doubt of its being adopted by a largo majority tho dolegitos to tho con stitutional convention oan bo elected at tho samo time, as was tho oaso in 1872, when tho question of amonding tho constitution was voted upon at tho samo election at whioh tho delegates to tho constitutional convontion wcro eleoted. Thero will then bo plonty of timo tor tho convention to raeot and amend the constitution by removing tho marked ballot olauso so that tho amendment oan bo voted upon by tho pooplo at a cenoral election next No vember. Thero is no doubt of the fact that tho people genorally favor tho adoption of a secret ballot law. Thoy want it to bo enacted as Boon as possible and aro not in favor of waiting five years for it, as would havo to be done if an attempt wero made to amend tho con stitution by having the amendment adopted by two suooessivo legislatures and then votod upon by tho people Tho simplest way is always tho best way, and in this oaso tho simplest way is to call a constitutional convontion. Lot the legislature heed tho wishes of tho people. CAtARRh Is a eontututlonal and not a local due, uJ therefore It cannot bo curtd by local applications.

IS since that timo ho has not bothered his head with matters outsido of his hobby, reciprocity. The leaders of his party havo nearly all turned to him as the Mosc3 to lead them out of tho wilderness, and that is what is so galling to Mr. Harrison, who wants vindication in tho shape of a renoraination; but ono of Mr. Blaino's warmest and closest personal friends told me that unless thero should oorao a Croat change in tho prospects of th? republican party before 1892, air. Blaine would under no circumstances aocept tho nomination. Ono defeat being qulto enough for him. Unless a prominent Government of ficial is off' in his predictions, thoro will bo a vacancy in the office of Com missioner of Pensions between this and January, Mr. Harrison having fully deoidod that Itaum shall go. Tho Congressional lamo ducks among the republicans are all trying to pick out something undor tbii Government that will enablo them to keep hold of tho public teat aftor tho 4th of next Maroh, but it will bo a difficult matter to provide for ovon a small number of them. One of tho prinoipal occupations of the republican loaders j nst now is stiff ening np the political baokbonos of the small-fry Congressmen as they get in. About three out of four of them want to reviso the MoKinley tariff law at tho coming session. That, tho leaders are determined to prevent if possible. Several of tho candidates for Speak or of the next House havo opened headquartors hero, but there aro not enough ot tho members-elect of the Fifty-second Congress yet hero to make anything like a lively contest. But they will all be hero a little later, , as an extra session is believed to be almost certain, which will mako it neoessarry to eleot tho Speaker about nino months earlier than if thero was no meeting until December next. Tho Farmers Alliance and its future movements is much discussed by re turning Congressmen, and many of them believe that a consolidation of it and the labor organization's will take place before the next Presidential cam paign. The republicans fear tho or ganization most, beoause it antagonizes tho principles of that party most. With two or three exceptions any I Mrs- good democrat could support tho plat form of the alliance. Tho fight for free and unlimited sil ver coinage is to be renewed aa Boon u Congress meets and a powerfnl weapon, in tho appointment of a suc cessor to Chairman Conger, of tho Honso committeo on Coinage, Weight and Measures who resigned to go to Brazil as U. S. minister, is in the hands of Speaker Reed. Mr. Reed is one of the bitterest opponents of free ooinago, in the Houso, but for all that it is not cer tain, although it is probable, that ho will put an anti-silver man at the head of that committee. Tbe committee is said to be now evenly divided on the question, bo that in deciding upon the new member of tho committee, Speak er Reed will really dooide whether tho committeo shall report a free ooinago bill- Speaking of Mr. Reed, the republi e cans are very much worried because ' certain democrats havo determined that a demooratio committeo of the next House shall investigate the mothoda by which be was elected. There is no contest nor is thoro to be, but it is be lieved that an investigation in that district will show up a great deal of lepublioau crookedness, and tho demo crats proposo doing it. Many democrats think tho republi can Congressional apportionment bill should bo opposed on the ground that tho Census has not been oorreotly taken. Of course, if the republicans can keep a quorum of their own men on the floor of the IIoubo no amount of opposition oan prevent its paesago but ft may not be amiss to show up cortain things about Ceusus. Washington Nov. 27 Tho latest name mentioned in connection with tho Speakership is that of William Mutchler of Easton, Pa. Evory sec tion of tho country has its oandidate except the Eist. There are Mills, MoMiltin, Crisp and Blount from tho South; Hateb, Springer, Bynum, Outhwaito and Wilson from tho North and WeBt, but none except Mntshler from the great Atlantio States. It is trite, that Lockwood of Now York has announced bis oanutdaoy, but overy one treats it as. a joke and not to bo seriously considered. lie is not a member of tho presont Congress and thoreforo thero is no one wbo takos his candidacy in earnest. Tho Eist, with its oreat financial in terests, should bo entitled to tho office, as the West now has the Presidency and the "Bloody Shirt' is still being waved too much for the South to get tho l.onor without cost to the Demo cratic party. Should the Eist combine on Mutchler, as now seems probable, he would be a formidable candidate as ho would havo fifty-six votes to start with. Asido from this, Mr. Mutchler has many friends, among all tho old mem bers, as ho is very popular with them. In overy way ho is adapted to tho po sition. He is a good parliamentarian, lovcl-headed and with a perfoct control of his temper. His position on the tariff is that of his party, and his selec tion would give the business world a guarantee that no rash measures would become laws. Although Mr. Mutohler has not announoed his candidacy, his friends have taken the matter in band and aro determined to secure his election.
