VOICE FROM THE SOUTH.

Senator Gordon. of virginia, Addresses
an Enthusiastic Meeting in Weccacoe
Hall.
Senator Amos Lindsay Gordon,
Charlottesville, Va, addressed a large
and enthusiastic Democratic meeting in
Weccacoe Hall, in the Tenth ward The
meeting was held under the auspices of
the Tenth Ward Democratic club, and it
goes without saying, that the well known
and eloquent young Southern orator was
warmly greeted.
The hall was filed and many persons
who were anxious to hear the senator
were turned away. The stage was ap-
propriately decorated Music was fur
nished by Hyatt's Military band
II. Il. LannOn presided. He introduced
the speaker, who, although young man.
made one of the best speeches heard
here this fall ~
He began his address with an eloquent
tribute to Hon. Thomas +. Bayard.
speaking of the honor he is to his state
and the service he has rendered to his
country, by his life-work in maintaining
the constitution in its integrity.
He exposed the hollow mockery of the
claim of the Republican party that high
tariff benefited labor, by showing that
every act of Republican congresses was
to burden labor with taxes on the neces-
saries Of life and, at the same time cons
tracting their field of employment by the
exclusion of free raw materials.
He dwelt with great force and clos
quence upon the Force bill Speaking as
Southerner, he asked what had that
section done TO be cursed with such
law. In 1888, when Harrison was cleo
ted President there was not an incident
of intimidation or Southern outrage
The South sent to Congress at that
election thirteen Republicans, two of
whom were negroes.
Have the Northern Republicans who
just before election expressed such solici
tude for their poor colored friends, ever
sent TO Congress or honored with high
positions a man Of that race ? He re-
ferred to the alleged and fraudulent acts
of our supervisors of Saturday last as a
foretaste of the evil that is to come
should Harrison be elected and have an
opportunity TO urge before Congress his
pet measure of Federal Election law q
Force bill
His speech abounded with wit and
humor and both powerful and poetical
eloquence The large audience gave him
an ovation at the conclusion of his
/ speech.
He was followed by Chairman Woolley
who said it was the plan of the Republi-
can campaign committee not to depend
so much on New York but to make the
fight for Delaware, Connecticut and
West Virginia.
Their plan of campaign in this state tC
use the New Castle Court as means to
intimidate the people of New Castle anC
to buy up Kent and Sussex counties.
This speech was frequently interrupted
/ by applause.

The barn, hay, wheat, corn, straw and
fodder upon the farm of Sewell
c. Biggs, near Summit Bridge, were
fired by an incendiary last evening
and entirely destroyed George w. Ser
geant is the tenant. The loss TO both
men will amount to about 81, 600, upon
which there is partial insurance.
The fire was discovered between and
s o'clock. The alarm was instantly
given and nearly everybody in the
neighborhood responded. The only
thing which could be done was to save
the stock.
That it was the work of an incendiary
there seems to be no reason for doubt.
Immediately after the alarm Robert
Higgins, Woodrow Bender and a Mrs.
McGarrity saw a man run away from the
burning barn. He disappeared in the
surrounding gloom and escaped. The
motive for the crime is not known.
The barn valued at 81, 900; and 900
bushels Of wheat $500, 1900 bushels of
corn. $780, twenty-five tons of hay, $500
and straw and fodder valued at $500,
were destroyed.
A straw stacker belonging to Harry
Ellison, and valued at $500, was burned.
Mr.. Bigg's total loss is about 50, 900
which is partially insured in the Chester
County Mutual company. The tenant s
loss is 5000 upon which he only has
about $3.50 insurance.

THE NEW HOUSE.
Republican Estimate of the Status of the
Lower Branch of Congress.


tBy Telegraph to the Evening Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Harry II.
Smith, ex journal clerk of the house Of
representatives has, prepared an elabor-
ate estimate OF the political status Of the
Fifty-third congress.
Mr.. Smith concludes that the margin
between the two parties is small but is
of the opinion that the balance of power
will be held by the opposition made up Of
Farmers Alliance, Populist and lnde-
pendent members.
In a table arranged by states, Mr.
Smith places the number of Republicans
at 1870, memorials 1866, and opposition at
30. There will be a large increase, he
thinks, Of Alliance congressman of the
South, which will be a loss to the Demo
cIats, while in the Northern and Western
states, the Republicans will regain most
of their losses of last year.
"Under the apportionment act of Feb
ruary z, 1891, the next House viii con-
sist of 354 members, an increase over the
present membership 1892 of twenty four
members which increase is divided
geographically as follows - Ala
bama, Arkansas, California, Colo
rado, Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts,,
Michigan, Missouri. New Jersey. Oregon,
Washington, and Wisconsin, one each
Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and
Texas, two each, and Nebraska three
members, or eighteen to northern and
six TO southern states That the Repub-
licaus are the gamers by this apportion-
ment will be readily seen, a conservative
estimate being sixteen Of the twenty
four members
