REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL WORK There is great sctivity at the headguarters of therepublican congressional committee, and itis confidently belieyed thattbe present control of the house will continue during the Fiftysecond cougress. Chairman Belden bas xeturmed to bis duties and is hard at work withthe management. Today be told Tue BeE correspondent. that the demand for ro- publican arguments scemedto increase with the closinghoursof the campaign, “One of the most satisfactoryand pleasantestthin gs in connection with the campaign,’ said Mr. Belden, ‘is the lirge number of let ters we are rewiving from speak- ers in wirious stats iu regard to the feeling of the people. Thisis the true way to julge the pulse of the country, The letters cone to us every day in greater num- bers than ever before iu a campaign and all tell us of the confidence-yes, that is the word they use-the confidnee felt in the repudlican party. When you have the confl. dence of the people you have their votes, too, Speaker Reed hus_written us letters o the same effect, and, like the rest, he tellsus of the great crowds attendingall the repunlican meetings and tbe enthusiasm expressed everywhere forthe grnd old party.’? There i e thing Mr. Belden desired y stated hatically as possible, and that was the situstion of the national Tepublican congressional committee and the civil st e law in regard 0 col: lecting money. Not asingle cent has been taken by the national congressional commit- tee froma any official or clerk. In fact, thou- sands of dollarshavebeen refused. “Why" said Mr. Belden, “‘clerks and _ oficials have come to e with money and offered it to us, but we have told them that we cannot and willnot take their contributions aud violate the avil service law. We have received money through the mail from postmasters and otherofficers, butevery cent has been re- turned.” NISCELLANEOUS.
