Washington Letter.
(Prom our 'Regular correspondent.)
Washington, F'eb.:t), 'el.
The rumor is rife in Washington that
Mr. Cleveland is not a candidate for re-
nomination for the Presidency and will
not allow hie name to be presented to
the Democratic national convention of
1892. This statement is -aid to be on
high authority, and its truthfulness will,
it is claimed, in due time, be well
established. 1 -IN decision in the m otter
was made kuowu to close political friondo
some days ago and the formal aunounoe•
matt of nis intentions will roach the
country over his own name, in proper
season. :Ir. Cleveland's determination,
su the tumor goes, is fixed tied uttalter•
able, and while he has slanted his
friends that he fait a• keen an interest in
the 000,oaes of the Demorratin party as
ever before, and would respond to any
reasonable call omen hint in Futuro, ho
emphasized the Iadb that it must be as a
private in the ranks and not ns a can-
didate. Se resolute was Mr. Cleveland in
the interview with his friends that they
abandoned ail hope of iaduaing hits to
again become a candidate, loud have since
had conferences with prominent party
men with a view to uniting upon some
other Democrat for 1892. Whether
that man will be Hill or Gorman,
Abbott, or Whitney, or whether it will be
a Democrat from a Western State is, of
.course, problematioal. Ex-Souretary of
the Navy Whitney has been in Washing.
ton for the past few days, where he has
met many Dentocratio Senotors and Ile.
presentatives. It is but natural to infer
that politioel topica wore "discussed at
these meetings, but it is stated positively
that there is no foundation in fact for the
statement that Mr. Whitney's mission i.
to develop a Whitney Presidential boom.
He has declined to bo interviewed by
newspaper mon, but Democrats who en -
jay his confidence and to whom he hae
talked freely, state that hie visit is
wholly fre•, from selfish political in.
termite, and that he is not a candidate,
so far as they know.
At the close of this Congreve there will
be in the neighborhood of 1,300 bills on
the calendar of the Hoose which hove
been favorably reported by cotnnnittees
but which fail fur want of time for their
consideration in the House. The major-
ity of these aro of little impottanee to
the general publio, but neaortheless are
proper mementos, which should be noted
upon. Very many, however, are im-
portant measures. Some of them will be
just on the verge of being disposed of
when they will bo suddenly ant off by
the arrival of noontide ou the 4th of
March. dome of the appropriation bills.
will probably be signed within an hour
of the time for final adjournment, and
it may be, ss hae often oocured, that the
bonds of the clock will have to be turned
book to prevent the failure of an appro•
priation bill. A number of bills that
will fail aro such as would certainly pass
if there were a day or two more tune,
but the fell 1,800 go oV'er to ho re -intro -
ducted and to burden the calendar of the
next House.

the following :-"Good news comes from
all parts of the riding, and in Grey a sur-
prise, it is thought, is in stare for Dr.
Macdonald. Holmes is the man."
East Huron will evidently have to un-
dergo another gerrymandering. How
would it do to attach Grey, Morris,
Blyth, Brussels, Turnberry, Wingham
and Wroxeter to South Heron and East
Huron to retain the balance ?
