Washington Letter.
Special to Reflector.
Washington, D.
General drift of Democrat-
comment on the President's
practical message to
Congress, bestows the highest
praise on that document. In-
deed, many of Mr. Cleveland's
warmest admirers in Congress ex-
declare is the most
pithy and courageous State paper
issued since the days of Jackson.
There is naturally a chorus of dis-
notes uttered in an under
tone, but that the President's
views are those of the Democrat-
masses, there little reason to
seriously doubt. With the
dent and Speaker of the House
cordially concurring upon the ab-
solute necessity of tariff reform,
that question dwarfs all others and
becomes the chief political of
the times. Democrats differ as
to particular methods of
reaching the desired result of re-
internal but all
agree that a reduction is the
country's only chance financial
redemption.
And here in Washington, it is
the universal opinion of all the pol-
that the tariff question
will be the chief factor in the
Presidential contest of 1888
The organization of the Fiftieth
Congress was effected in a decor-
manner, despite the
of a deadlock in the Senate,
which failed to materialize,
though the public thronged the
corridors of the capitol in the hope
of witnessing sensational scenes.
The Congress will
certainly be memorable for the
sweeping changes in the personnel
of the House. Not since 1874,
when tidal wave of
overwhelmed Republicanism,
has there been such a revolution
in the membership of that body,
for of the who were in the
last Congress, failed to return.
Among those retired ale many
prominent fully two thirds
the chairmen of committees
were numbered with the defeated.
Of familiar faces missing from
Senate are Camden, Jones of
Florida, Mahone, and
and from the House,
Morrison, Bragg, War-
Brady, and Smalls
the two latter being colored and
hailing from North and South Car-
This leaves brothers

Speaker enters upon his
third term as presiding officer of

Blame. There is much doubt as
to not Mr. will
be able to appoint his committees
before the holiday adjournment,
as, in addition to the usual pros

has much new material with
which to deal. Capital gossip has
assigned the following members
to Mills, Ways
and Means ; Randall,

Weights and Measures ; Blanch

well founded, has it that
