ton Notes.


WAs1uxGrox, November 1.-THE Presi-
dent has gone out OF town ON n hunting
expedition % n few days, and the conse-
ouence was to-day that many disappointed
men did not have a chance 10 call NJ the
White House and put in few words IN
behalf Of their claims Tor places. some
of them stood on The street corners m the
Lalnv sunshine and got even as they
imagined by saying that Benjamin Harrl-
son Il weaker President than was Ruther-
ford b. Hayes. OF Ohio.
The office-seekors are ten times more
numerous than under tho Democratic Adj
ministrati0n, and they are getting LETT all
around.
TROUBLE AHEAD.
The President is navigating things large
Iy on his own hook and it oil the reports
are true he is going 10 have deal OF opp9-
sitiou when the Senate meets as regards
combinations. II Is the talk OF the town
that the Illinois senators are much incensed
over some Of The selections that have been
made for that State. and they propose to
put IN a wedge or two.
This leads up 10 the question OF Virginia
amendments, and whether or not the men
APPOINTED 80 far viii be confirmed depends
on Mahone's status since his crushing de-
feat in the State.
Nearly every dav representatives OF
prominence are heard 20 say that the Nd
ministration will make n gigantic mistake
unless Malone and his followers IN virgil
MA are thrown overheard.
MANY of the Republican Senators and
Representatives honestly believed that
Malone bad q fair chance of being elected.
and they do not hesitate to state that their
belief was founded on Mahonesown repre-
sentation.
70 FIGHr MAHONE's APPOINTMENTS.
1t Il understood here that some Of the
strongest men in the Republican party OF
Virginia intend 10 make "a vigorous protest
against the confirmation of MahOne's asso-
ciates who have thus far been given Fcde-
raj appointments. They will probably not
succeed in all cases. but il is thought they
will he able to knock out quite y number;
and il is said that they viii make hard
fight on Pat. McCaull and X. Il. tarr, as
well as upon Stith Boiling. Of Petersburg.
The Democrats OF Warrenton, Va. are
going 20 have u big meeting tomorrow
evening 10 celebrate the great victory over
Malone, and several prominent outside
Democrats Will be present.
OHIO DEMOCRATS.
The Ohio Democrats in this city are much
reioiced that the more complete returns
show that the Democratic candidate Tor
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT has been elected by
a small plurality This will give TO theparty
that body is much closer than the lower
branch Of the Legislature 1t Will prevent
any unfair rulings which might operate
against the Democracy.
The Buckeyes are highly elated over the
result, because it has been too often SAID
that the Ohio Democracy does not amount
TO anything.
One Of the Buckeyes said to-day: " How
well do | remember Just after the war
har
country TO abandon the org lnlzntion OF
the Democratic party. If u had not been
for the stand taken by the Ohio Democrats
then the party would have gone To pieces.
We ran that grand old Roman. Allen G.
Thurman, for Governor, afterwards elect
ell him senator, and gave to the party
all over the United States the necessary
hope and nerve TO make it what IT IS to-
day. The Democratic party IS strong III
nearly all the States. and it has become
wonderfully powerful in Ohio. The OHIO
Democracy has always stood by the south
too, and to-day we rejoice greatly over the
grand victory in Virginia this year 1hur-
man, who has been our greatest Democrat,
is native of the Old Dominion. and the
strongest ties exist between Ohio and Viz
ginia."
THE WORLDS FAIH.
Within few days st. Louis viii have
opened in Washington her headquarters
to be run in the interest of the Worlds
Fair.
Governor Francis and Colonel Jones, the
editor of the st. Louis Republic, are expect
ed to arrive here tomorrow to start the
st. Louis boom, and the people OF the
Southwestern metropolis are gong TO 30
all they can to present the claims OF theiT
chief city 10 Congress
Chicago already has her headquarters
open. and those friendly to Washington
have been at work for nearly two years.
This promises TO be one of the liVehest
questions before Congress.
Very little can be accomplished. however,
until after the speakership contest IS de-
cided.

son (of Iowa. are hard at work, but Messrs.
