GOSSIP In POLITICS.
NOTED DEMOCRATIC ORATORS TO
SPEAK IN THE THIRD DISTRICT.
What II Said Of Judge Waddilrs course
Clubs Preparing for the
Fight.

The announcement that Hon. W. G. j.
Breckenridge will address the voters az
Chesterfield Courthouse next Monday VIII
bring out IA large number of persons VINO
will delight in the eloquence OF the Men,
tuckian.
There are few men in the country who
can entertain an audience as well as can
the Lexington district representative.
Mr.. Breckenridge delivered the Grafton
Masonic Temple in this city nearly Two
years ago, and his eloquent words charmed
oil who heard them.
Hon. George ID. Wise has written to the
Congressman asking him TO speak IN hlcn-
mOnd Monday night, and If he consents
large audience will greet him. III MIR;
Breckenridge cannot come here several
persons in Richmond and Manchester,
anxious to hear him, Will go over to Ches-
terfield
Mr. Breckenridge will arrive here Sunday
on the fast mail from Washington, ana
will be the guest of Mr. Wise.
HANoyEB MEETING.
It seems that we will have number OF
the most noted Democratic congressman 10
visit the Third district during the canvass.
the Democratic members of the House, ana
many with whom no served for a number
of years are anxious TO come down here
and tell his constituents what faithful
representative he has made. and how his
seat was taken from him in order that tho
Republicans might increase Their majority.
On Wednesday, September. 17th,. the
voters of Hanover will enjoy feast ot ora.
tory The eloquent William l.. wilson, or
~ tariff rplOrmDr
Ex-Governor McCreary, of Kentucky, ana
Mr.. Cooper. of Indiana, will be there on
that occasion and make addresses.
THE REPUBLICANS.
1t seems that there is no doubt that the
Republican District Committee when they
meet here next Monday will call a conven-
ton. Unless this is done it IS apparent
that two or three Republicans Will run as
independent candidates.
Sheriff Southwark has already announced
himself. His claims will be submitted TO
the convention if one is held If not he
will run on his own hook. and well-known
Republican said yesterday two or three
other gentlemen would follow his exam
pie.
II is probable that the contest for the
nomination before the convention will be
very lively and it is likely that there Will
be over half dozen aspirants.
JUDGE wADDILL.
While Judge Waddill has announced
that he will not be in the race it Is the
opinion of many of his friends that he will
accept the nomination if rendered and that
he really expects to receive 1t.
1t was SAID yesterday that some OF his
friends will have a mass-meeting IN jack
son Ward in few days to endorse him.
He has considerable opposition IN that sec,
tion, principally among disappointed
office-seekers, and there are great num-
Der of such persons IN jackson ward.
A we'll known Republican told Dispatch
reporter Yesterday that he had reason TO be-
lieve that Judge Waddill wants the nomi-
nation. and while he VIII make no apparent
effort to secure II he will have an under
standing with his friends that he Will ac-
cent il the honor is rendered. The reason
given for this by the Dispdich's informant
Is that the Judge wants the Administra-
tion TO see he Is 40 popular with MS people
that they will not let him decline.
