WAsHIxGToN, Oct. 24-Wm. ). Dav
enport, of the treasury department, and
Thomas S Ruffin, of the interior depart
ment, both Of North Carolina, have been
promoted from $1,000 to $1400 and from
$1,000 to $1,000, respectively
Senator Faulkner, chairman Of the cpn
greeHs;ii&nai campaign COMMITTEES, gncs TO
New York tomorrow to confe. with the
party leaders in that state. Mr. CIeVe,
land and all his friends will su port Hill
unqualitiedly.
Senator Ransom, chairman of the com
merce committee, will leave here on
special train November II for the Pacific
slope, accompanied by Senators German,
Cullom and party of ladies and gentlemen
friends The object of this tran CONT
mental tour, for which $4,000 was apprO-
priated under the last session of con-
gresss, if | remember right, is to find out
whether a certain harbor in Southern

When Grant was president he was &C
customed every morning to walk down
Pennsylvania avenue like any other citi
zen He would even stop the school
children on their way TO school TO ask
about their parents and their lessons.
Consequently he was very popular here.
| wish Mr. Cleveland would follow his
example. Instead of this he drives in the
suburbs with Thurber or Ramont in the
carriage with him, and two armed detec-
tives at a safe distance in the rear
Hon. w. L. Nelson is here. He says
West Virginia is all right.
For the past week the republican and
democratic committees have been very
busy at their headquarters. Senator
Faulkner says that the news he has re
ceived from North Carolina satisfies him
that the state is all right, and that
every congressional district will be rep
resented in the next congress by dem
OCrat He says that the prospects are
Frightening in New York, and that he is
convinced that the whole power of the
administration will be thrown in the
balance to secure the election of David
B. Hill TO be the next governor.
Mr.. Cleveland and Dan Lamont will
both vote, besides contributing a hand
some check to the same cause This is
in keeping with what l telegraphed your
paper few days ago. My information
came from a prominent democrat who
had spent day in consultation with
Secretary Lamont
Major Mckinley will stump the state
Of Louisiana, and promise the sugar
planters to restore the duty on sugar.
This scheme Of republican committee
would have worked very we'll if the
newspaper correspondent Of the leading
Louisiana papers had not found it out
in time to CheCkmate the apostle of pro.
lection. They have telegraphed the well
known fact that the republican leaders
are as much opposed to the sugar bounty
as the democrats are. The people of
Louisiana haye been warned not to trust
tnt empty promises Of the republican
party. Senator Faulkner says he has
every reason to believe that the demo
Gratis will carry every district in Louis
itna.
lr George Smithers. of Waynesvilie,
\. c., has arranged with the tinanc- com
mil,ee Of tn: Lifted States for the pay
ment Of sos 900 appropriated by congress
to compromise suit between the Cher
okees and the settlers on their lands.
Many prominent people in North Caro-
lima are interested in this suit
Intense interest is felt in the outcome
Of the election on NoYember i All the
prominent politicians who have been
accustomed to haunt the capitol and the
principal hotels in Washington, are in
their respective states preparing for the
Oh of November Ii is Impossible for
our people TO over estimate the impor
tanCe Ct voting on that day No demo
Crat who has the interest of his people 1t
heart should stay away from the polls for
any reason whatever
