MAHONE'S TACTICS.
TIE READJUSTERS WAY AHEAD
THE VIRGINIA POLITICAL
RACE.
From tho rhllAdelphiA Press ]

A gentleman who has been in Rich
mond for several days past talking With
the politicians of both parties, Informed
The Press correspondent to-day that the
outlook for the B0urbons there was new
or more depressing. The Democratic
party In Virginia seems TO be mere
wreck, mn empty shell. It's organization
II falling 10 pieces and lis leaders are
discouraged. The nomination Of John
Wise for Congressman Mt large was u
bitter pill for the Bourhons 10 swallow,
aud they ARE still wrestling now with
Parson Massey. II he receives the Demo-
cratic nomination for Congressman at
large he will be opposed by many Bour-
bons who detest his Reudjuster record,
aud if lie IL not nominated quite u large
faction IN the party will raise big row.
So far M Massey II concerned the DomC-
crats are between the devil and the deep
sea.
The failure of the RcadIustcrs to pass
the Rcapportlonment bill, which the
Democrats cllmcd was serious blow to
the prospects Of Mahono's party, has
turned out 10 be the best thing thnt
could have happened. The Rcadjusters
are sure 10 win In six Of the Congress
sional districts, and the election Of Wise
by the popular vote Of the State will
have splendid effect upon the party,
aud stincn II up for the next State and
National elections. The Democrats are
not obtaining any of the Federal patron
ace In the State, aud the effect of the
support Of the Administration given the
Readjusters has done as much as any
one thing to discourage Mahonc's enc
mics. ZOO IH.

that fleas and pennyroyal never flourish
in the same locality, and that the U. s.
officials would have little need ofscrateh-
ing IN Abingdon and Harrisonburg.
Mr.. Paul of Virginia, moved to sus-
pend the rules and pass Senate bill pro-
viding for the erection of public build
ings at Harrisonburg and Abingdon, Va,
appropriating $50, ,O00 each for that pur-
pose.
After an hour was consumed in an
effort to obtain Il quorum, Mr.. Bragg, of
Wisconsin, took the floor in opposition
to the bill. As far rs he had learned the
only products of the two towns were
pennyroyal and sassafras, which grew
largely in the streets. There was not
enough business there to keep down its
growth, so that little Children could walk
about without getting lost in the woods.
Mr.. Paul created good deal of amusc-
ment by his defence of the bill and his
denial that it was pennyroyal measure.
The motion was finally agreed to and
the bill passed.
