points in western States via {. I. l., en-
teripr ut Suult Ste Marie and Dctroli +,

T. Humphry Brooke, Virginia re-
publican. well-known in all the upper
t!dewater section of his State, and once
an internal revenue officer, has been ap-
aointed enc of the garbage inspectors
of This city. He accepted the position
upon the condition that he would be
assigned to duty in the most obscure
quarter of the city so as to be out OF
sight of those who knew him when he
was in more prosperous circumstances
Congressman Page of Maryland was
at the Capitol to-day. He has been
appointed to judgeship in his State,
and says he will resign his position as
congressman tomorrow. lie says
there is no doubt that his successor will
also be democrat.
Congressman Meredith of the Alex
andra district was also at the Capitol
TODAY. He says he has been pretty
well through his district, and that while
ne finds there is no great enthusiasm Tor
the national democratic ticket, he
thinks Mr. Cleveland will get the usual
democratic majority in his district. MIR.
Meredith doesn't know whether the re-
publican convention in his district will
nominate candidate for Congress or
determine to support the third party 5
nominee, bat says that if it shall not
make nomination he knows that he
will receive the votes of many OF the
bct,er-ihinking republicans. The third
party's congressional nominee, he says,
anless the republicans support him, will
receive very few votes, probably none
in some Of the counties, and certainly
not many III Any.
Representative Sperry of Connecticut
is here to-day. He says the democracy
of his State was hardly ever in better
condition than it is new, and that the
State will, in his opinion, cast its vote
for 1Ir Cleveland, as it did in 1881 and
1883.
A we'll informed democratic lawyer
an politician from Virginia, here to-
day, says that there is 10 doubt of the
i,;ct that il Lunenburg. Mecklenburg
Halifax, and some Of the other counties
in the section of the State bordering on
North Carolina, the third party is much
stronger than many people believe, anc
that its members, under instruction:
.rom their leaders, will not listen II
democratic speakers no matter how dis
tinguished they may be. He also say
he hears that though there are but few
third party men in any of the othel
counties of the Sth Virginia district
there are two hundred of them in Eau
liuier county.
The managers of that part of the G. A. Il
which is TO PIT up at Alexandria during
the meeting in this city We're cnquir
ing to-day if they could secure Il band of mu
sc in that city for the night Of the 18th, i
cy will have procession there that nigh
