BIRTH TO ANOTHER DAUGHTER.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1O.-When il
became known here yesterday that Presi-
dent and Mrs. Cleveland were the parents
Of second daughter and that little
Ruth had a sister, there were many con.
CALCULATIONS pressed for the head Of
the natien and his wife. An event Of
this nature in the household of a Presi-
dent was bound to be the subject of COM
ment and expressions of congratulations,
inasmnch as II was the first occasion
upon which a child has been born to a

officially announced from the White
House shortly after o'clock in the after
noon that the President was the father
Of second little girl and that Mrs.
Cleveland vas doing well. 1t became
generally known throughout the city,
and soon Senators aud Representatives
were informed OF the fact by the wires
which lead from the White House 10 the
Capitol. The private wires were also
brought into play to tell the cabinet
officers at their decks of the new arrival.
There was an air of expectancy surround
ing the Mansion during the morning and
afternoon, and it was patent that some
thing unusual was about to transpire
within it's precincts. The gates leading
TO the grounds were closed TO visitors,
and clerks Of the various departments
aud others who usually 90 through the
grounds were compelled to 60 around by
. longer route to reach their desks AFTER
luncheon. Other evidences were shown
not to be mistaken, that an occasion
Of much Importance TO the President was
about to happen, and that rumors of the
past summer were not unfounded. Presl-
dent Cleveland was at his desk as usual
and attending to his duties. DR.. Bryant,
the family physician Of the President
was early at the White House, and was
in attendance upon Mrs. Cleveland.
Shortly before noon the President absent
ed himself from his Office and repaired
to his private apartments, where he
remained SEINE time. He was soon after

ED. HERALD
The personal of. the va
rious democratic organizations Of your
State have from time, of late, paid flying
vista to this city to confer with the
leaders and others temporarily resident
here, and it is gratifying to learn from
them that the party is in NEST excellent
trim for the present campaign. The
most hopeful reports are made from every
section, and but little serious consider
alton lie paid the opposition. However.
no work is being left undone to guard
against any contingency from that quar-
ter. Great harmony is reported through
out the State, and all differences between
friends of the various candidates for
gubaratOrial nomlnatien have been dis
sipated in in the one great consideration
of party success this coming fall.
Tho idle report that had been in cir
culation that Col. O'Ferrall designed
going before the legislature as candi-
date for the United States Senate for the
unexpirsd term of the late Senator John
S. Barbour, is fatty and Indignantly de-
MED By Col. O'Ferralls close friends, who
state emphatically that his candidacy is
beyond question for the governOrship
only. The rumor had quite dispiritipg
effect, for the time, with the friends of
the gentlemen spoken of in that connec-
ton. However, from the most reliable
sources from the various sections Of the
State, it is understood that there will be
little, if any, opposition to General Hun
ton, who is now SLING out that potion
Of the unexpired term from the vacancy
to the time when tie legislature shall
meet, by appointment of the governor, as
is provided in such contingencies.
Genera; Hunton is high type of Viz
GINA statesman, and has rejected great
credit to the governors astuteness In his
appointment, as we'll as honor to the
/ State. He has taken rank with the Oldest
statesmen in the Senate. and his speeches
upon the questions Of present interest to
the country at this this time, were marked
for their conservative ability. He has
been in public life for many years served
with great credit as representative in
Congress from the Alexandria district !;
and is a lawyer of great ability, ranking
with the leading members of the State
and federal courts.
The action of your convention for tie
nomination of Col O'Ferrall's successor
is looked to with some interest by the
friends of the different aspirants.
