Show Washington Letter. From Our Regular Correspondent. J Washington, O. C, Nov, 2, 1801. Well, the campaign Ii virtually over, hut Micro Is very littto that U certain nbunt tho rcsnlt. Stnator Faulkner, chairman ol the Democratic commlttv, still claims that his parly will elect n majority ot- the House, and tho ramc claim Is mado by his party by Representative Repre-sentative Dabcock, ot tho ltcpublican oommlttec, while chairman Taubcncck, of tho poiipllsla comttittcc, Is more potltlvo than-cver that the opull9ts will hold tli' balance el power in the House, and ulto In the Senate, after the fourth of next March ; and tit both the republican and democratic headquarters they readily admit their fear that Mr. T.iubciicck'H claim may bo good, ns far as lite House is concerned, hut ut both they ridicule his Scnato chime. Very (ow people can bo found hero who really bclicvo that tho democrats will elect a majority of tho next llouso. The general impression niuotig those who sift nil obtainable information without prejudice pre-judice Is that tho margin between the republicans mid democrats In tho next llouso will be cry narrow. That Is why so many pcoplo believe, against their wishes in lots of cases, that the populists have n better chance to secure the balance of power than cither of tho other parties liavo to secure tt majority. There Istio longer any doubt about President Cleveland's position. It Is as clear ns if ho linil said so that he doscn't care a straw-about the icsult of the campaign, nnd that his position has weakened his partyitltcertain, although your correspondent lacks the proof to endorse the current gnsrip which says that It was his intention that It should. According to this go?sip Mr. Cleveland desires the defeat of his parly becnuso ol Its failure to follow his ideas in Congressional Congres-sional legislation, believing that such a defeat will bo n. vindication of himself aritl will result In giving him absolute control of the parly hereafter, mid most of all ho dcsirtstlie defeat of Senator Hill, l'ccnuru hebelictes a defeat will rcinovo him fiom the fields of po.-Hible rivals for tho next l'residi'iitml nomination. According to n story told this week, Senator Faulkner, In coinjinny with Hon. Don li.t-MtiFon, calltdntthc White House to tunko a hint clfbrl to pet Mr. Cleveland to say Homelhirg that might bn used to help his party and to closo tho mouths of thoso who are publicly su In; that a democrat cannot please lie Prctidont mote thuu remain, inj nwny from tho polls. Senator Faulkner has a very peisuitslvo tongue, ami ho proccidid lo work it for all he knew how for coiuethilig liku half an hour when ho was interrupted by Mi. Cleveland who said: "Ity tlio way, Faulkner, do you remember what you told me hist opring about the lishiug in your pecllon of West VltginluV" Mr. Faulkner doscn't net it to hnve a brick limine fall on him before he takes u hint, A reason has been found for thu action of the German government in shutting out American cattle and dressed heel from every German port.
