Ulery's grove, near Dist. No. %, was
very successful, though the threaten

EXTRA SESSION TALK.

One Expected to he Called in Octobcr.
WASHINGTON, August 27.-Wbjle il js
more than likely that President Har-
rison has not told any one directly that
he would call an extra session of Con-
/ gress to meet on the Dist of October. his
conversation on the subject with lead
ing members Of his party has led them
to expect that the meeting Of Congress
would be on that date. He has dis
cussed the question with several, and
the reasons he has given for think
ing a special session should be called
for the 2lst have been such as to lead
all 20 the conclusion that the call would
be issued. Those who are opposed TO an
early meeting as well as those who
favor 10 have come TO this conclusion.
They are satisfied that he will decide to
do what he has so much in mind.
There seems to be hardly doubt in the
mind Of any one who has been giving
the matter attention and has talked with
Mr.. Harrison on the subject at all.
IS FAVOR OF An EARLY MEETING.
Most Of the strongest party leaders
favor an early meeting, and all agree

the earlier it is called after the party is
in shape to do anything the better it
will be. IL was not thought wise to try
to organize the House until they
had got all the votes together that it
was possible for them TO: but It is
deemed desirable 10 get together as
soon as possible after the elections in
the new States are decided. 4 call for
the 2lst of October will give time for
this and also for the election Of the sue
cessors to Laird and Gay.
a LONG SESSION EXPECTED.
One thing that makes the 4verage
member dread an early meeting Of Con-
gress is the idea that when Congress
gets together it viii be a long while be
fore an adjournment is had. They are
prepared to be here all next summer
Some few who are arguing against an
extra session clte the Virginia and Ohio
elections as hindrauce, saying, that
absence Of members to take part in
these campaigns will take away the
Republican majority. This argument
is easily met. however. by the PROPOSE /

The result rests wholly with the Dem

that the latter hayea handsome majority

vote success Is certain; but they have
shown painful disposition To stay away
at times that has lost them the State
twice and rendered it very close on one
or two other occasions This is enough
to arouse them now. Remembrance Cf
the dose Of MahOueism they had before
ought to excite them TO do their full
duty, and they should resent in every
way possible the attempt Of the admin

control it from Washington through h
the use OF the Federal offices as a

Republican administration capture Vir-
