WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Nov. 20 , 1883.
The Speakership contest is the chief
topic here at present and I notice there
is little else written about by the cor
respondents. It is of course enshroud
ed in uncertainty owing to a raMier
mixed state of things , and issues of
some moment are believed to be involv
ed in the result , yet it is under no cir
cumstances likely to be greatly pro
longed or to resemble in any respect
the memorable contests of the past. In
the Thirty-fourth Congress two months
were consumed in electing a Speaker ,
the choice falling upon N. P. Banks on
the one hundred and thirty-third ballot ;
ind in the Thirty-sixth Congress a
struggle quite as protracted resulted in
he election of William Pennington.
Uut. these contests were in tlie IIouso
tself and grew out of the evenly bal
anced condition of parties , while the
jrescnt struggle is wholly within one
larty and is likely to be settled before
Jongress convenes. One feature of the
contest is the candidacy of Mr. Cox ,
who has many supporters , all of whom
ire like the candidate himself , innocent
of any attempt at joking in this case. ,
But it is a fact that Mr. Cox has a deserved - * ' '
served reputation for being funny , and l ,
it is difficult to associate this with the
idea of dignity ; hence there is an undisguised - < !
disguised fear that , however able and
well-deserving he may be , ho would not '
lend to the position that appearance of
dignity and statesmanship now so important - $ t
portant to the party. Mr. Cox has *
parlors at Willard's , where he receives
his friends , and there is no better cn-s
tertainer to be found. lie is ever ready
with an illustration and a stqry ; always f' |
genial and bright , "a fellow of infinite ,
jest. " with a fund of information and a
facility of quotation seldom equaled.
The weather is bright and beautiful
here now and with hundreds of stran
gers coming in daily the streets present
an animated appearance. Pennsylvania
avenue is crowded nearly every after
noon with pramenaders , and one can see
style and beauty enough in a single
walk down this hawdsome thoroughfare
to delight his senses for a week at least.
Among the distinguished visitors to the
capital during the last few days is Gov
ernor Butler , I saw him. waddle into
the dining room at Willard's with u
rosebud in his button-hole and looking
as fresh as a daisy. He is said to far
vor Cox for Speaker. The lobby at
Willard'd begins to assume its old time
appearance in the evenings now that
the house is filling up with notables.
It is general headquarters during all
seasons of political excitement , partly
because of its location no doubt and
partly because it is such a large house
and accommodates so many prominent
guests. Wm. 11. Morrison , of Illinois.
a strong supporter of Carlisle for
Speaker , has quarters there and It la
rather an interesting sight to see him
backed up against one of the large pil
lars in the rotunda and surrounded by
a score of eager correspondents boring
for points. Mr. Morrison is one of the
ablest men in Congress and if Carlis e
is chosen Speaker he will likely be chair
man of the ways and means committee.
The event which is to open brilliant
ly the social season here is the housewarming -
warming of the ? "Ietropolitan Club in
its handsome new quarters on the 28th.
Thus far there has been even less socia
bility than usual at this season on ac
count of the extraordinary absorption
of such society ladies as are already
here in furnishing the new houses into
which so many of them are entering.
It is rather surprising to see so many
prominent and fashionable ladies attendr
iner the auctions of fine furniture and
house-keeping goods as one meets here.
In this respect Washington is different
from most other large cities.
