Washington Letter from Our Regular Correspondent 1891
In a Washington letter from J C Wastanaros dated October 4 1891 the writer notes fewer prominent callers to the president as no major appointments are likely before the fall elections. He reports Republican optimism in New York over Fassett while Democrats hedge with ifs, cites U S China policy, a deportation case, and a sugar bounty payment to China Valley Sugar Co. He mentions Canadian reciprocity talks delayed by Blaine, naval reform discussions, and political fights over pension officials and Raum. A church fund controversy in Owasa Iowa falls under editor letter rebuttal alleging false claims about a Methodist versus Ellis church dispute.
