INIT that Mahone will not be aole 10 dcieat
the confirmation of Colonel brady for col
iector of internal revenue. for the reason
that Mahone's fight is purely personal aud
has been actuated by motives well under
stood: Colonel Brady was one OF tho first
republicans of prominence IN Virginia to
defy Malone and the little boss has never
loved him since. The followers of Malone
now hero are much panied over one en-
phatic statement contained in the interview
with Colonel Brady published in the MS
patch correspondence nom Washington
last week. II do not blame Colonel
Brady" said one of the Mahoneites to-
day, but DO not think that he should
have included all the Mahoneites IN Viz
ginia in saying that he did not care snap
of his finger for Malone. Judge Waddill;
OF Richmond was shocked and surprised
when he read that statement, for | heard
him say 90. and so are other straightout
Republicans"
SHOULD HAVE SEEN HIM.
These complaining Republicans should
have seen Colonel Brady snap his own
finger when ne expressed his contempt Tor
Malone here the other day, and hrs de-
tiance of the man who is trying to defeat
his confirmation.
The Virginia contested-election case of
Waddill us Wise will be taken up by the
House Committee on Elections tomorrow.
Judge Waddill, of Richmond, the con-
testant, is in the city and was at the Capt.
toll to-day, accompanied by MIR. Edgar Al
Ian. who will argue the case before the
Committee for Contest. Mr.. G. V. Mere,
dith, of Richmond, is also here, and Will
argue the case for Mr.. Wise. and much in
terest is felt in the outcome of the same.
just now no one seems 70 know what the
decision will be, and both sides will make
q hard fight.
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
The report in some of the Virginia papers
that the nomination of Captain Frank
Winston, of Louisa county, 20 be super
visor of the census for the Third district
of Virginia would be recalled seems to be
entirely without foundation. Captain
Winston il q Democrat, but that was per-
fectly well understood when he was Sc
lected In some Of the southern States
two Democratic supervisors have been APP
pointed. the Republicans. of course, get
ting a majority of the appointments IN
each State.
MIR. Barbour introduced in the Senate to-
day bill for the relief of Albert Blaisdell,
of Virginia, providing for the releasing
from the Treasury $1,000 which Blalsdeu
put up as one of the bidders for Govern
mcnt work.
THEY LEFT.
The Senate resumed consideration OF
the Blair education bill to-day. and the
author of tho measure commenced to
speak once more, regardless OF the fact
that he has already occupied the iioor seve-
raj days this session. When alr. BLAIR COM
menced to speak to-day the senators on
both sides of the chamber lett for
the cloak md committee-rOoms, and
before he had been talking five min
utes all had gone except SIX, and
of this small number Dir. Evarts
was the only ono who listened. senator
Barbour. who has been one Of Mr.. Blalr's
best listeners, was not on hand to-day
throughout the New Hampshire mans re-
marks, but this is no indication that MT.
Barbour is not going to vote Tor the BIZ.
He remarked to-day that he was IN favor OF
getting all the financial aid possible for the
South, as the North was getting more than
her share out Of the surplus.
THE WORLDS FAIR.
I The Worlds Fair bill will in all proba-
/ bility be disposed OF IN the House TINS
week. At any rate it il the intention OF
/ the leaders OF the movement IN behalf OF
each OF the contending cities to press mat
/ ters vigorously with that end in view, but
| of course there is no certainty that the
programme can be carried out. The Ont
/ caro people who have been here all WIN
/ ter claim that they will have big lead oil
all the cities when the voting on the loca-
I ton Of site begins. 1t is understood that
/ they count on I37 votes on the first ballot
/ in the House, and they have endeavored 10
: fix up a deal that will give them more votes
/ on some of the succeeding ballots. Ac-
oordino TO the drift of the talk beard IN
niblic places New York has lost ground.
/ Az one time the metropolis had as
/ GOOD if not better chance. than. any
! OF the competing cities, but the perform
/ ances Mt Albany within the past few weeks,
and the attitude of Tom Platt have sent
/ New York stock down many points. There
seems 10 be q growing belief here that the
whole thing will wind up in a row and that
no fair will be held in 1892. Politics has
/ plaved such q part in the business
! that the knitting process has been
commenced. Platt has prevented the
New York Legislature from passing
/ the Worlds Fair bill because he Is AFRAID
that if New York city gets the lar the
Tammany politicians. aided by the Demo;
cratic Governor If the Empire State, Will
swing their opportunities in 1892 to make
votes for tho Democratic presidential
ticket. and that the pickings, for " the
I bovsp ont of the iGir money Will be rather
too numerous for the Republicans to
stand.
CHANGING RAPIDLY.
II ia ascertained that many of the Demo
cratic members from the South and West
who formerly favored Washington as their
first choice are changing rapidly because
they find the same objection to the national
capital that has been raised against New
York by the Republicans-too mucI
politics. These Democrats argue tna'
II fine fair goes to Washington
the national Government will be com,
pelled TO guarantee ell the funds and
RIM the exhibitions, as the businessmen
and residents of the capital city could moi
raise $500. OOO, there being so little busI-
ness done here that would justify the peo'
ple in putting up the money. That being
the case the Federal Administration
oflicered entirely by Republicans
would disburse sum OF money
in Observation-Disclosures year o.
from $40 900 to Sl5,00O,OOO. 1t IS ar
med. therefore. by these Democrats who
are known TO entertain this view that sine,
Tom Platt and his friends refuse to allow
New York to have the fair because polite!
