CHAIRMAN ELLYS0N.
NE WAS At DEMOCRATIC AEApoUAR-
TIERS IN WASHINGTON YESTERDAY.
Nomination Of Bacon In Georgia for the
senate--New Ycrk-Eighth virs
ginia District.

WASHINGTON. November 2-(SpeciaD
Several virginians were at Democratic
headquarters to-day expecting TO meet
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson. chairman OF 'he
State Democratic Committee. Mr.. Ely
son was there, but somehow they m'sseu
him.
Quite n number OF well-known Demo-
Gratis were at the committce-rooms to-day
Senator German being among the NUMBER.
Secretary Lawrence Gardner had
lengthy talk with the Senator. The latter
Is looking much better now than when
Congress adjourned. lis health having
been poor then.
The nomination Of Mr.. Bacon 10 DO
senator from Georgia was general topic
In political circles to-day. Among south
ern people particularly IL was much dis
cusscd. and the small showing made In
the Democratic caucus by Congressman
Turner is believed to be due chiefly to the
fact that he is not right on the silver
question. Tho advocates Of the free com
age system claim that Mr.. Bacon is with
them. and they look for lively battle
on that question during the next Congress.
The gentleman who Is 10 serve the long
term is not radical on silver, but II Is
said he Will stand with the great body or
western and southern senators when The
matter IS taken up for settlement. Not
much regrct is heard among the silver adj
vocatcs over the defeat of Congressman
Turner. IL was never thoughh here mat
he had any chance. on account OF the po-
sition taken by him on the silver Ques-
ton.
SPEAKER CRISP.
Talk among politicians Is that II the
House Is again Democratic Hon. Charles
+. Crisp. OF Georgia. will certainly be
reelected Speaker. lie prefers that high
and powerful position TO the Senate. as
he is nominally the third highest officer
OF the government. ami practically has u
greater pull than the Nce-PreSident
Speaker Crisp is expected TO make n
political address in Brooklyn tomorrow
night. and II is certain that If he gets
there in time he will do much good.
Intense interest is felt in Washington
in the New York contest. and while al
most every ono is at sea regarding the
outcome, the Democrats cannot help feel
Ing that they Will win. At any rate.
even should they lose the governorshp,
they are reasonably confident of holding
their own in the congressional G6ht in
the State.
Colonel Lewis =. Barley, Of Alexandria.
was in the city to-day. lie said there
was not the slightest doubt OF Con-
gresham Mercdith's reelection by a
handsome majority. There was very
enthusiastic meeting last night in Alex
andra, at which Mr.. S. c. Brent made
a rousing speech. Every effort is being
made 70 get out the fun vote in that end
Of the district. and the indications are
that Mr.. Meredith will Dc well supported
in Alexandria. where the Republicans
have claimed he would he heavily cut
