WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent; The entire administration, from the President down, is playing partisan politics for all it knows how, and the public business is getting on in any way it can. The White House has been turned into a political headquarters with the President filling the duties of Lieutenant to Boss Hanna. Anything to keep the republicans in power is the basis of all the White House consultations and conferences. That even single votes are not being overlooked was shown by the official order sent from Washington for the immediate dismissal of a woman clerk in the Indianapolis Post Office, who got married the other day, and the appointment of a voter in her place. Besides the political work that members of theadmisistration are doing in Washington, the following prominent officials, and this is only a partial list, are on the stump for McKinley, with salaries being paid by the tax-' payers while their official work is being neglected: Postmaster General Smith, Secretary Wilson 'Secretary Gage, Attorney General Griggs, Solicitor General Richards, Third Assistant Postmaster General Madden, Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, "Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, Commissioner of Pensions, Javans, and Director of the Mint, Roberts. In addition to these there is an army of smaller officials in the field of speaking or pulling wires to influence voters, and the people are footing all the bills. Republican speakersand writers arc Trot likely to exploit the return for the month of September from the post offices of the fifty largest cities'in the country, just received and tabulated, to prove the increasing prosperity of the country, for the simple reason that fourteen out of the fifty shows smaller receipts than they had in September of the last year, indicating that the pinnacle .of the temporary, prosperity made by the war with Spain, big crops, and other conditions which put money in circulation, has been passed and that the business of the country is now on the downgrade, as democrats have predicted it would be as soon as the natural reaction set in. Senator Wellington passed through Washington on his return from a speaking tour in the West and Northwest. In reply to questions as to the campaign outlook, he said: “In my judgment. Bryan will be elected. I think the Middle West will go for him, and that when the electoral college is polled he will get the necessary number of votes. I have not the slightest doubt that Mr. Bryan will carry Maryland. The sentiment in the state, and I have sounded it thoroughly, is greatly in favor of the democratic candidate. There are hundreds and hundreds of old-time republicans who will leave the party and vote the democratic ticket. On the other hand there will be a handful of democrats who will fail to stand by their party’s nominee. I think that Bryan's majority in my native state will be anywhere from 15,000 to 20,000.” More government clerks will go home to vote this year, than have done so since the days when Zach Chandler bo«sed the republican machine and made them do as he pleased. Clerks will register and vote who have not done so for twenty years or more. Every government clerk residing in a state considered always close has received a circular letter from the republican bosses of his state, telling him that if ho fails to register and vote, his name will be handed to the republican state committee, which is merely another way of telling him that if he fails to vote, he will lose his job. The heads of the government departmens are doing their part to help along the exodus of voters, at the expense of the taxpayers of the country by allowing it to be known that the clerks will be paid for the time lost in going home to register and vote, and will not have the time deducted from their annual leave. The starting of Hanna upon a stumping tour of the Northwest shows who is bossing the campaign, as it is well known that Mr. McKinley did all be could to stop the speech-making of Hanna, because of his knowledge that it was hurting him badly. Late advices from Illinois put that state in the sure democratic column. A poll of the state completed by the democrats several days ago, giv *8 Bryan a majority of from 2U,(XX) lo 30,000 outside the city of Chicago, which has l>een practically conceded to the democrats by the republicans from the begining of the campaign. When it was telegraphed to Washington a few days ago, that Teddy had, in a speech at Milwaukee made the promise that the

war tax on beer would be repealed by the republican Congress at the coming session, it was thought that he had been talking merely to make votes among the brewing interests of that locality, but it is now almost certainly know that he he spoke by the card, and that Boss Hanna has made a dicker with big brewers, whereby in return for big campaign contributions and their influence, he promised that the beer tax would be repealed at the next session of Congress. Teddy’s only break was in publicly stating what he would probably have preferred being kept quiet until after election.

The Barkley Tp., R. R. Tax Matter.

A meeting was held here Thursday by prominent Barkley tp., taxpayers to determine what action to take on the Gifford railroad election matter, and another ineeting was held yesterday, but too late for us to announce the action taken. It is reported that two or throe people from Rensselaer went up in Barkley and voted for this tax, also that several votes were cast in favor of it by people who live in Walker tp.' As the tax only carried by a majority of 6, it is not necessary to find but a few illegal votes to knock out the election, and it was about determined at Thursday’s meeting to file notice of contest. From all reports this election and the means dbiployed to carry it is the most damnable outrage ever perpetrated upon a free people. As the tax cannot be levied until 1901 and 1902 and then be collected one and two years la’er, or 1902 and 1903, and the Gifford slaves who are coming and going like the birds of the air, with the seasons, probably not one man in ten who voted for the tax will be in the township when the same is collected. The best men in the township are behind the movement to knock out the election, and it is altogether probable that Mr. Gifford and his cohorts will have yet another tussle before the freeholders of Barkley open up their pocket-books and allow him to help himself to the contents.

Tired that’s all. No energy, no vim, no vigor, no ambition. The head aches, thoughts are confused, memory Life becomes a round of work but half accomplished, of eating that does not nourish, of sleep that fails to refresh and of resting that never rests. That’s the beginning of nervous prostration. “I was very nervous and so tired and exhausted that I could not do my work. One dose of Dr. Miles’ Nervine quieted my nerves and drove away the lassitude. Seven bottles did wonders in restoring my health.” Mrs. M. E. Lacy, Fortville, Ind. Dr. Miles' Nervine strengthens the worn-out nerves, refreshes the tired brain and restores health.

Ex-Congressman Hatch of Kentland, has been appointed election marshal for the Tenth district. His duties are to collect the official returns from the different counties of the district and turn them over to the secretary of state. The people of Indiana have the Indianapolis Sentinel thank for the victorious suit brought by the. state against the Vandalia railroad. The Sentinel has long contended that the road owed the state a large sum and finally by its appeals forced action to recover the money. The case has just been decided in the state's favor and a judgement for §9IO,(XX) rendered. Owing to pressing private business matters making it impossible for him to fulfill his engagement to speak here Wednesday night, Hon. Flavius J. VanVorhis of Indianapolis, sent a Mr. Hudson in his stead. This change in speaker was not known to the committee here until the arrival of the 6:35 train that night from Indianapolis, as Mr. VanVorhis had expected to be here and fill his engagement up to within a short time of the departure of the train from Indianapolis There was a big turnout to the meeting and while many were disappointed at not hearing Mr. VanVorhis, they were well entertained by Mr. Hudson, who, while not as able a speaker as Mr. VanVorhis, is a fair exponent of democratic doctrine.
