Among the strangers now in the city

Nothing new at democratic head
quarters here to-day. The same old re
ports about the probable loss of North
Carolina and New York continue to
come there, but they have been dis
counted, and it is believed there that
both those States will turn out all right
next November, as no southern State
can afford to risk the Force bill, and as
no prominent democrat in New York
can possibly derive any profit from the
defeat of Mr.. Cleveland. Mir. Gardiner,
who is in charge Of Che headquarters, is
having large number of posters print
ed in large type containing what Sena,
tor Teller, republican, of Colorado, said
of the Force bill, among other things
that it was the most infamous bill that
ever entered the doors of the Senate
for distribution in the South, and which
he says, he hopes the democratic man
ayers in that section will at least take
the trouble 10 have pasted up, so that
the voters may be able TO read them.

district, and Mr.. Browning of the same
district, are here to-day, on
their way home from New York,
where they have been consult
ing with the national republican
committee about the conduct of the re-
publican campaign in their district.
Judge Strother says the third party Is
quite numerousi in his district, that near

ator Newberry, the Independent can
didate for Congress in that. district, will
receive all its vote, and he talks as if he
thinks that Wood has a good chance OF
being elected over Marshall, the demo
cratic candidate. Other people from
the district, however, now here, say
Vllut ndFSuull Will NC SlCSlSp ~ q
larger majority than Mr.. Buchanan,
present democratic Congressman from
the district, received two years ago.
Republicans from Virginia, here to-
day, say that no matter how the differ
ent factions and cliques of their party
may hate each other, they are fully de-
termined to vote their party's Presi-
dental ticket at the coming election.
In respect of the congressional election,
they say that in every district where
the republicans have a chance of elect
ing one of their own men to Congress
they will have a candidate in the field,
and that in those in which they have
no chance they will support the third
partys nominee, and that they will
pursue this policy, utterly irrespective

IT IS peculiar fact, and one that has
attracted considerable attention in
medical circles and journals, that the
