GenerAi a. y. W6TuST, VI Oulo, euo
champion of free silver, reached Wash
ington last night to attend a meeting
of the national bi.metallic league to be
held to-day. The recent elections in
Ohio and Kentucky do not, General
Warner says, interfere with the future
success of the cause of silver. S'Those
elections were not republican victories,
but democratic defeats" said Mr..
Warner. SIN Ohio we had candi.

platform prepared by packed conven.

of the people and thousands of demo
Gratis stayed away from the polls, or
scratched the ticket. In Kentucky
the gold men simply voted together
and defeated Hardin.
The Marquis Manfredi LAMA di
Brolo, of Sicily, died suddenly in this
city yesterday. He was the son-in-law
of ex-Surgeon General William a.
Hammond. A wife and three sons
survive him. He was an Italian noble.
man, about fifty years of age, and was
distantly related to Queen Marguerite
as we'll as to the Cardinal OF Naples.
He had been in this country about
twenty-five years, and was tor some
time engaged in the wholesale drug
business in New York.

ton upon the death of the late Associate

Among the estimates for continuing
the work on the more important river
and harbor projects submitted. the
amount to be expected in the nez,
fiscal year, appears the following
James river, Virginia, $4,000; Poto
mac river, $3.50, 900; with this es-
innate comes recommendation
that the Long Bridge be rebuilt as at
present an ice gorge would overflow
the city and do great damage; also
that the reclaimed lands on the flats
shall be reserved for park purposes and
not given to commercial uses.) York
river, Virginia, $4,000.
The qualification the President and
the entire administration derived from
the defeat of Hardin in Kentucky has
been turned into the bitterness of gall
by the full returns from that State, by
which it is seen that though Hardip
was defeated, he received more votes
than any other man on the ticket,
though be was the only man on it the
administration strove to defeat.
Senator Harris says the result OF the
recent elections makes it plain that un.
less the Southern democrats can secure
the adoption by the national demo,
cratic convention of free coinage reso-
luton, there will be no chance of demo-
cratic success next year.
One of two prominent Virginia dem
ocratic politicians here to-day, convers'
ing with an acquaintance from their
State about the result of the recent
democratic defeat, and both of whom
attributed that defeat to the White
House, remarked that Mr.. Cleveland is
the logical candidate of the next nomi-
nation of the national democratic con-
vention, and that to clean up the whole
affair and wipe the party out entirely.
the ticket should be Cleveland and
O'Ferrall, and in this remark the other
heartily concurred.
Senator Quay has been heard from
on the subject of the democratic defeat
in Maryland and Kentucky. He says
neither State is safely republican for
next year, as the democrats who de-
feated their own party in them, are
rebsls and free traders, and, on ma
tional questions, will be likely go back
to their old party at a national cleo
ton.
Senator German was here to-
day. he says the democrats receiy-
ed, within two thousand, as many
votes in Maryland last week as
they ever got before, and that though
they may not regain their State next
year, they will do so in the early
future. he says the defeat in his State
was due to several causes, among them
the increased number of manufactures
and the hands they employ, many of
whom have been brought from the
North, the solid opposition of the Ju-
nior Order of American Mechanics, the
A. P. AS, the labor party, and that I'm.
der the cry of democratic fraud, the re.
publicans voted four thousand illegal
negro voters. The Governor looks
strong and well, and found no fault
with any member of the administra-
ton.
Two more consular appointments
were made today, under the recent
civil service order of the President,
John ]. Barron, of New York, appoint
ed consul at st. Johns Newfoundland,
is the present vice consul there, and
Richard NJ. Bartleman, of Massachu-
sets, appointed consul at Antigua,
West Indies, is the present secretary of
legation at Caracas, Venezuela.
The State republican committee of
Virginia, 30 members of it here say,
will meet at a hotel in Petersburg on
the 9th inst, to appoint success or to
General Malone as chairman of that
committee and as the Virginia member
Of the national republican committee.
The committee is composed of fifty
members, nine of whom are negroes.
Thers is good deal of quiet maneuvert
ing going on about the two vacancies
occasioned by General Mahone's death,
