TOM. Nov. 28th .1885. WASHINGTON LETTER. ' \'AASHINGTON, NOV. 301th 1885. The members of the Forty-ninth ongress are arriving in the city daily. Ihy are talking about the speak rship contest, about revising the ules of the Lower House, about the ;enate's opposition to Presidential ap oiutuents, and about the questions be presented this winter to the ew Congress. While it is understood that the )eocratic majority will re-elect Mr. ~arlisle Speaker, the Republicans will ive the comipiflmenl-y nomination o one of their brethren. As the lember thus selected becomes the irtual leader of the nminority, a cer in interest centres in the comning etion of the House Republican cau Sveral names are mentioned for his honor. .They are Messrs. Reed, f Maine, Hiscock, of New York, sng, of Massachusetts, and McKiiu sy of Ohio. The two former are i-eal the only candidotes, and it is hought that Mr. Reed will get the omnationi. Bein'g more aggressive .nd more courageous in the expres ion of his oninions thasn Mr. Hiscock, me is the natural leader of the Repub lean minoh-tv.. The Republican leaders are all high ariff advocates. All of the leaders on he Deir -ratic side, with the excep ion of .Lr Randall, are pronounced evenue reformers. Therefore the attle in the House between pr-otec ion and reform of the tariff, promises o e fought on strict party lines. The extent to which the Republi an Senators will oppose the Acdmin stration in the matter of appointments vil be determined by the caucus to e held in about a week. A Repub ican Senator remarxk.d, "I do not be leve in opposing the President be ause he is:a Democrat. There are w things to be considered in an ap ointee whose name comes before he Senate for coniirmation : Is he an ble man, and wilU he honestly and iiciently administer the a~hirs of his ifice." "He did not think the ques ion of politics should be considered. Sti," continued the Senator, "Pes dent Cleveland has introduced a new lement in stating that he would re nove no one except for offensive par isanship. To remove an offensive epublcan and appoint an offensive )eo.crat .u his place, is, to my mind, neonsitent, and I shall take that uestion into consideration when ap ointients come up for confirmation. .will agree with the Administration then I can, and differ from it when :must.'' The President is working hard day ta night on his message to Con. tress, and annual reports are comiing n from the various branches of the loverdent. Gen.

I was unfit flor any manual labor for several years. By chance 1 caie into posse5sion of a pamphlet on -Blood and Skin Diseases," from the otlice of Swift Specific, Co., Atlanta, Ga. A friend recoImended the use of Swift's Specifie, claimuin-g that he himself hatd been greatlv benefitted by its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try it. About four years ago I com nienced to take S. S. S. according to directions. -I found it an invigorating tonic, and have used about fifty bot ties. The resul s are most remarkable. MV cough has left me, my strcngt0h has returned, and I weigh sixty pounds more than I ever did in my life. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have had no return of the disease, and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs. I do the hardest kind of mechanical work, and feel as well as I ever felt since I was a boy. These, I know, are wonderful state ments to nake, but I am honest when I say that I owe iny existence and heakit to-day to Swift's Specific. It is the only medicine that brought me any permanent relief. I do not say that Swifts Specific will do this in every case, but most positively affirm that it has done this much for me, and I would be recreant to the duty I owe to suffering humanity if I fail ed to bear this cheerfull testimony to the merits of this wonderful medicine. I am well known in the city of Mont gomery, and can refer to some of the best citizens in the city. T. J. HOLT, Montgomery, Ala., Juno 25th 1885. Swift's Specific is entirely vege table.
