II Is ysriously estimated that the debate
uuon the tarif will consume from one 10
two months. The general opinion. how
ever. Is that the bill viii go 10 the Senate
within hc first fortnight in February.
The Mckinley bill was in the hands Of
-.

five DAYS aftor its presentation. The VIII
son BIZ has been considered by the COM
rsit,et about four months. and will pr0ba-
bly te passed after discussion Of not
over six weeks i'm the House. The free

celvc the greatest attention AZ he hands
OF the southern members. but owing TO
the great number of absentees at this

night en- route 10 Richmond to attend the
inaugural ceremonies Of Colonel OFerral.
iIe said he thought that the Democratic
convention 10 nominate successor 10
Colonel O'Ferrall would be CALLED about
the gd of January. While this would
leave only seven days in which to can
yags fhe district, il would be ample rmc'
AS no opposition to the ticket was antici-
mtoi from any quarter, ana all that
would be- expccted of the nominee OF the
convention would be to visit each one Of
tie counties composing the district, ar
rangcments for which could be made IN
most cases 10y telegraph.
Of the several candidates whose names
will Doe presented 10 the convention he
thinks that SIR. A. Moore, Jr., of Clarke
county. has thus far shown the most act
ul strength. He will receive the support
% solid delegation from his own county,
la.pe portion of the vote OF Frederick
county. and the city OF Winchester, and

ane that any one of the candidates VIII 1
have sufficient voting strength to secure |
ihe nomination on the first ballot. the
question OF who will be the second choice |
OF many of the delegates is the unknown |
quantity in DE political problem mat Is
causing the candidates much concern.
