Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, June "A.

WASHINGTON, June u.
Congressman Jerry Simpson of Kali
sas has returned from visit to his
home. He says the action of the CHI
cago convention has given great boom
to the third party movement, that the
national convention of that party to be
held in Omaha on the 18th proXimo Will
be attended by delegations from nearly
if not all the States and Territories of
the country, and that the Presidential
ticket il will nominate will carry sew
eral States; some in the South. and
enough to throw the election IN the l.
s. House of Representatives, where the
party can dictate its own terms.
Neither house of Congress was III
session to-day, the Senate having add
journed over Yesterday until Monday,
and the House adjourning until to-
morrow as soon rs it met.
A dissatisfied republican, well-knOwn
at the Capitol, told the GAzETTE's cor
respondent to-day that there is a great
deal more in the talk about the cleo
ton of the next President by the House
of Representative than many people
suppose. He said neither the plat
forms nor the nominees Of either party
were satisfactory to thousands of men
who have heretofore voted the repub-
lican and democratic tickets, that such
men would make common cause WITH
the silver, the Alliance and the third
party men. and carry enough States to
throw the election in the House, in
which the silverites and third party
men would be reinforced by the left"
members of both parties, and that if Il
popular and national ticket, such for
instance rs Stewart of Nevada and
Morgan of Alabama, was presented, ii
would receive the support even of
many reelected democratic and repub-
lican members, and would stand no
small chance of election, rs great
many people are tired of both the old
parties. and that in the South, he was
informed, many would leave the demo-
cratic party were it not for the dread
of the Force bill. Several persons heard
this talk. and some of them seemed 10
think there might be something in It,
The feeling among the democrats in
the House to-day has apparently settled
down into the belief that their party
has need of the utmost eXertions of all
its members in order TO attain success
next November. and that such eXertions
will be made by every one who has the
interests of the party ut heart and who
approves the principles and policies of
democracy. Then, too, as the GAZETTE
has all along said, they say Mr.. Cleveland
is sound to the core on the subjects ofthe
tariff. pensions, and economy. and i'll
every other way is preferable to Mr..
Harrison.
By Monday next most of the demo-
cratic Congressman who have been at
the Chicago convention will have re-
| turned. quorums in both branches of
Congress will be present, and attempts
will be made to pass the remaining reg
ular appropriation bills and to adjourn
as soon as possible The indications,
/! however. of a very early adjournment
are not favorable. as the Senate seems
| disposed I'd insist upon its amendments
to the appropria.. bills as passed I by BY
the House. and the hSo,nse equally so 10
strike out those amendments.
The following changes in the Atm
class postofices of Virginia were made
to-day Brosville, Pittsylvania county,

J. P. NIillner, resigned Franklin City,

to-day heard committee of the Turn
