BRADY AND YOST.
They Were in Washington After Political
SlneWS Of War.
DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK GOOD.
Everywhere, and Especially In tho State o'
New York. Is the situation
Improving.


,SpecialD-It il understood that the re-
cent visit of congressman Brady. Of
Petersburg. and Mr.. 5. Nj. fost, OF Stauh'
ton, to the Republican headquarters III
this city was for the purpose OF assuring
the managers of the campaign that every
thing looked lovely for Candidate Jake
Yost in the Tenth Virginia District. but
in their opinion. to make the thing GER
tain. IL would not hurt should the Con-
gressional Committee lend some or the
right sort OF help just at present.
The Republican managers are most re-
ticent about what they are doing In the
South. Several months ago, and indeed
up to three weeks ago. they talked as II
they were unwilling TO place any funds In
the South. except in few districts they
believe can be carried by their candidates.
Just whether they regard the Tenth Nir-
ginia as one Of these districts cannot, OF
course. be learned.
II il claimed In the calculations that
have been made by Chairman Babcock
that from three TO FIVE of the Virginia
districts are likely TO go Republican. and
the Democratic managers in the state
will DO well to watch the movements Of
the Republicans FOR IL is possible that in
spite OF their protestations they will at
tempt TO capture several seats II the
Democrats are not enthusiastic enough TO
go TO the polls.
In Democratic circles to-day there was
feeling that the situation I'm many
States has Improved decidedly within the
past week. Particularly is this true OF
New York. and it IS believed that Senator
Hiirs chances of election to the Governor
ship are becoming better and better as
the 9Th Of November approaches.
Senator Hllls great powers or organi-
ZatIon his splendid methods of campaign
ing. and his popular style of making
speeches are thought here To be arousing
the Empire State Democrats. and all the
reports received show that the boilers
are losing their following rapidly.
COUNTY BOND ISSUE.
The decision rendered to-day by Attor-
ey-General Olney i'm reference TO the
issue OF bonds by Il county In Georgia
was the subject Of much interest. Mr..
Olney having sustained the opinion Of
the Solicitor OF the Treasury, It Is held
that the county undoubtedly has the
right to issue the bonds and I'm so doing
will not conflict with the national bank
ing-law. but at the same time 1t is noted
that Mr.. Olney rather eyades the main
question, in that he does not say whether
or not tn government has the power 10
tax the bonds Advocates of the propO-
