Reckoning
WASHINGTON. September z.-(Speciai)
In an estimate given out at the Republi-
can headquarters as to the probable politi-
cal complexion Of the next House OF
Representatives tho claim Is made that
they Will secure three members In Nir-
ginia and one In North Carolina. They
are careful not 10 name the Virginia
districts they expect 10 carry. but II is
learned that they count on defeating the
Democrats in the Second. Sixth, and
Ninth districts and should they fail in
the Second they hope there will be fall
for Mr.. Tucker in the Tenth. They figure
that Colonel HoSe ought TO pull through
in the Sixth II Mr.. Rucker pulls off any
considerable number OF Democrats from
Major Otey. The fact OF the matter Is
the managers OF the Republican campaign
hope for general results In Virginia, ana
they Just simply put down tr rec districts
as the number they imagine Will 20
against the Democracy. The claim Is
made for effect as much rs anything else,
and deep down in their hearts they know
II will be an agreeable surprise II they
capture even a single district In the
Old Dominion.
II is realized by the managers that no
material assistance can be expected from
the PopulIsts. The latter have been not
only most ehabbily treated by the local
Republicans in Virginia, who have hog
ged" all the nominations. but the latest
Teports received at headquarters indicate
that Democrats In the State see through
the game. and are not going 10 throw
away their votes on the candidates OF the
Populists. The failure Of "Steeny' Mason
to draw In the Eighth District Is most
Encouraging To his small band OF loi-
lowers. and II begins 10 look as II ms
chief support will come from the BeVeriey
family. into which he married. The Bev-
erleys have monopolized things too much
already in that district TO suit the par
ance OF folks who have been training with
the Populists and Mr.. Meredith VIII once
more sail on TO triumphant election.
THE NORTH CAROLINA HOPE.
The North Carolina district which the
Republican managers rely on carrying Is
the Fifth. and they argue that congress
man Tom Settle ought to pull through
again. If not that district, they must
mean the Second, but Is 1t pretty wen
known here that Cheatham has no snow
AGAINST Mr.. Woodard the Democratic
candido+e Nv only claiming one district
,n North Carolina. the Republican
managers at Washington throw out cola
comfort for Pearson. in the AsheNiile us
trict. ,,,. INC
The same IS true Of the winston DIS
tr,ct, where they admit that Mr.. lower
49, 1,a1l,-over for reelection. Mr..
crawford is all right, too in the Ninth
Touring and The Ke-
publicans are compelled 10 hang their
homes on one peg in the state. If Mr.
Rufus Amis can poll as many votes III
tho Fifth District as he claims he cam
Mr. Settle Will also bite the dust politi-
caUv. by a large majority. The Demo
crafts of that district have been conhdeh'
NJ olocting Mr.. Graham. regardless OF the
independent candidacy of Mr.. AIMS
ABOLITION OF "SURRENDER.'
II IS thought here that Congressman
Tucker can secure an abolition OF the
objectionable name Of surrender IN
Annomattox county. just as soon as the
pecnle of the community make another
move. The officials at the department
stand ready TO do anything desired ana
still contend they are not to blame Io'
the selection of a name when seems W
have caused such general protest 10
accomplish anything, however, the re-
quest must come from AppomattoN.
The change was originally made by re-
ouest of the patrons of the once anu
the department officials have stated re-
pcatedly that the petition recOmiheHu'" :
the name Of Surrender" had the en-
dorsement of Congressman Tucker. Inc
matter first came up on the "a Of July
and as stated yesterday, not a protest
has been received from AppomattoX ac-
cording 10 what Mr.. Maxwell says. Inc
latter is a blunt, energetic sort or man.
and he is somewhat hot over the criticis!O
that has been aimed at him. he says Ne
has no personal feeling, and stands ready
10 do anything that viii please the Poo
Die of the county and state.
NEW YORK.
Tho keenest interest was felt here to-
day I'm the New York Democratic ConVen-
ton. but il wac late in the day before
any idoa could be formed as to the pro
bsble action. 1t was conceded yeE'efua ~
that Senator Hill and his friends were III
complete control, and could put throue !
ar}y plan they desired; and the irin hold
the Serator has on the Democratic or
eanizadlon in the Empire State was th'
subject Of general comment 1t Woui'
seem fiat he cannot be VanqWshe1 OF
his own groand just yet. no matter VIVA
may be thought OF him in other portions
of the country.
