Rensselaer Republican, Volume 21, Number 14, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 December 1888 — Congratulations for Mrs. Harrison. [ARTICLE]

Congratulations for Mrs. Harrison.

Baltimore American Washington better. “The Queen is dead; long live the Queen.” Washington society resembles very much the citizen who declared that the Administration couldn’t change any quicker than he could. Society is suddenly ceasing its adulation of Mrs. Cleveland. Numbers of ladieshave sent Mrs. Harrison letters and telegrams of congratulation, to every one of which she has replied in an autograph note of thanks. Owing to.her station and her natural exclusiveness, Mrs. Cleveland’s circle of society friends and acquaintances was necessarily limited. Mrs. Harrison’s long residence here during her husband’s Senatorial life ggve her a list of acquaintances which, on her return here, she will find uncomfortably large. Mrs. Morton has also been widely congratulated by Washington friends. It is expected that the house of the new Vice-President will be the centre of Washington society under the new Ad-; ministration, and that Mrs. Morton will take up the sceptre of fashion now soon to be yielded over by Mrs. Whitney. There is every indication that the society life of the Harrison-Morton Administration will be the most brilliant and intellectual ever witnessed in this city. a.— >
