CHAT OF THE SIDEWALKS AND COR
RIDORS.

In spite Of Democratic majority Of 1900 in
fhe gerrymandered Eighth Ohio District, ex-
Gov. Charles Foster expects 20 be elected TO
Congress.
The Fifteenth New York District (orange
Rockland and Sullivan Countess is naturally
n very close one. Grover Cleveland carried it
in 1884 by l,400 majority, and the present
Representative-Moses ID. Stivers-defeated the
present Democratic candidate, Henry Bacon,
who had been elected in 1884 by "a majority
In q total vote of over 81, 600. The Republicans
have put in nomination Clarence Lexow, q
popular young man and q fine speaker. He
will probably receive large G. A. L. vote, owing
10 the uncivil way in which Bacon treated the
comrades while IN Congress, and has strong
hopes OF election.
Gen. W. H. f. {" Runy W Lee is having hard
Faoe for reelection in the Eighth alexandria,
District Of Virginia. Two years ago he had
g. $50 majority over his Republican competitor,
but this year Frank Hume, popular Democrat,
Is running on an independent ticket against
him, and will receive very large Republican
vote though the negroes have placed regu-
lRrly-nOminated Republican candidate against
him. large number Of the younger and
more progressive Democrats are very tired of
the domination Of the Lees and the old Bour-
bons generally in Virginia, and will vote
against Lee for that reason. The friends Of
both Lee and Hume claim TO be sure OF victory,
but outsiders think the chances arc decidedly
in favor OF Hume.
The Democrats claim the next House by Is
majority. They claim that they will hold all
they have now and gain seyen in Ohio, four or
five in New England, two in North Carolina,
three in Virginia, two in Missouri, one in Ne
braska two or three in California, two in Mary
land, etc.
Senator Faulkner saws that the fight In West
