Dear Cabot:
I do hope the republican party can
steer clear of becoming a mor» party
f of reaction. To pass a dependent pen
■: sion bill and try to abolish the total
• tax on whisky are not symptoms of
? advance.

j Dear Cabot:
j I am very glad to hear what you
.* say about the republican attitude In
' congress towards the whisky tax.
! My minority report to the Union
League club, not being printed before
hand, was suppressed by our ultra
protectionist committee — although
' " mind you, X had all the intelligent
• protectionists with me.
I advocated taking off the tax on
• tobacco and sugar and spirits used In
• tho arts; and the employment of
, part of the surplus in building a navy
and providing adequate coast defense.
Whisky, I believe, should be taxed.
Anent the tariff. I state that botli
' the republican party and the country
at large were definitely committed to
a policy of protection: that any rever
sal of the policy at the present time
•Would he In the highest degree un
wise; but that we certainly should not
declare that the maintenance of the
present tariff unchanged with all its
anpmalies was a point to which every
other interest and Issue should be
.subordinated.
Give my best love to Nannie; Edith
1s so sorry she can not come.

couraged over the political prospects
We have got hark only a small per
centage of the mugwumps, but many
of the real Independents: of course
we'll lose the office holders ami some
of the Blaine Irishmen, as well as
some excellent men on the whisky
question (which I think it unwise to
have put in the platform, whatever
we did In congress—it Is an ugly cry
to meet) hut the bulk of the temper
ance people are with us. and we are
undoubtedly making enormous gains
on the tariff question. Roth heve
and In Genesco the country politi
cians seem veky confident. ’ But Of
course it is a« yef guesswork.

Dear Cabot:
In September I shall he out west.
(I start Sunday or Monday.) I am
coming back in October to take part
in the canvass; it is very difficult to
prophesy in politics and I am afraid
I may take too rosy a view, but I
can't help thinking things look bet
ter here than I have seen them since
Garfield's run. It really looks very
bright; and unless we have some
check 1 believe we shall win.

some hesitancy in trying my hand

our side who have followed Seth Dow

however, will lam afraid be re-elect

ually 1,500 democratic, will I think he
nearly a stand off. (I find my coach

laymen, are going to vote republican,

Dear old Cabot,
You are certainly the most loyal
friend that ever hreathed. Edith and
I were more touched than I can say
over your letter; all the more so from
Its absolutely unexpected nature. I
hope you will tell Rlalne how- much
I appreciate his kind expressions.*
I would have particularly liked to
have been in Washington in an of
ficial position, while you were in con
gress; we would have hail a very
good time; and so I would have been
glad to have been appointed. But
aside from this feeling—and of course
the pleasure one feels In having one's
services recognized—It Is a good deal
belter for me to say where I am. I
would like above all things to go into
politics; but in this part of the state
that seems impossible, especially with
surh a number of very wealthy com
petitors. So I have made up my mind
that I will go in especially for litera
ture. simply taking the part in poli
tics that'a decent man should. I am
goiqg lo keep my residence in the
city because I have more hold here.
Ever your friend,

Dear Theodore:
1 had a little talk with the preal
k-o
dent about you and he spoke very
pleasantly but he is a reserved per
son. I met Reed* today. He said
he had been waiting to see me be
cause he wanted to talk to the presi
dent about you and said all kinds of
pleasant things and went there and
then to the White House, but the
cabinet was meeting, so he goes
again. He is a loyal friend and as
true as steel. I have spoken to
Walker Blaine about Buterfield and
will look after him. Blaine told me
that Evarts had spoken to him ahout
you. saying you should have hand
some recognition and be brought Into
public life again. I tell you these
things because I know you will like
to hear them." I am harassed to

does not kill me politically and de
stroy my health and temper nothing
will. It Is *lmply awful.

Dear Cabot:
1 ant really pleased to hear about
Tom Heed; 1 value his friendship.
We are threatened with a real
calamity here, for 1 learn that Harri
son thinks of making an ordinary
ward politician. Van Cott, a Platt
henchman, postmaster. It would be
an awful black eye to the party here,
criminal blunder. Platt seems to have
a ring in the president’s nose as re
gards New York. I feel very uneasy
over it; have put in a strong counter
plea.
Goodby, old fellow: curse patronage
—but neither that nor anything else
will kill you. Yours. T. R.

at being away from Edith and the

full of work. On Sunday we leave

I called on the Blaines; and on

We had only a week a trip but we
