People here to-day from Atlanta say
the fair at that city, 80 far as the ex-
hibits are concerned, is great success,
but that as money making affair it is
a great failure. They fair, they say, is
too big for the city. and that though it
might not have sunk money if times
had been prosperous, it unquestionably
has done so now.
Congressman Livingston, of Georgia
has succeeded in accomplishing one of
the objects of his visit here. Whiskey
makers in Chicago and other parts
of the North sent q large quantity OF
their products to the Atlanta fair, to be
given away as samples, and thus adj
yertise their brands. Such was done
at the Chicago fair without objection ;
but objection was made by the internal
revenue officers at Atlanta. To day
the Treasury Department decided that
what had been done at Chicago could
be done at Atlanta.
Que of the knowing Virginia republi-
cans, iu the city to-day, says Judge Wad-
dill will be chairman of the republican
committee of his State, and Colonel
Lamb be the Virginia member of the
national republican committee, and will
act as such until the meeting of the Vir-
ginia republican convention. When
asked why Judge Waddill would be
made chairman he replied, because he
is for Mckinley for President, and as
chsirman, he would have no little to do
with the Organization of the Virginia
convention which will appoint the dele
gates to the national convention.
Well known democratic politicians
c.ovo l.Harank porfo Of he onur,.
try now in this city concur in the
opinion of most of their party who live
here that the President has broken up
the party that has three times nominated
him for President and twice elected
him, and that it will be long time, if
ever, before it shall have control OF
both the executive and legislative
branches of the government ageiD.
Ex-Congressman Holman, when asked
this morning if he. thought the party
had been killed for ever, replied, for at
st twenty-five years.
Senator BlackbGrn's son arrived here
to-day from Kentucky. He says all
the legislative districts in his State have
been heard from and that the republi.
cans and democrats in the legislature
are tied, and that two populists have
been elected, who are pledged to his
father. His father, be says, will be the
nominee of the democratic caucus, but
that he does not think his father will be
reelected, as it is expected that some Of
the gold democratic members will bolt
the caucus. Other Kentuckians who
have returned say the feeling among the
democrats there against the President
is very bitter, and that if he or any Of
his svowed supporters be the nominee
of the next national democratic con,
vention, the majority against him there
will be not less than seventy-fiv
thousand.
Acitizen of Alexandria county here 10.
day says the charter of the Mt. Vernon
Railroad Company allows it to build q
railroad anywhere within ten miles Of
its present line, aud that Mr.. Willard,
of Fairfax county, says if that company
will build road to Falls Church, he
will supply the money required to pro.
duce it 10 Fairfax Court House.
1t is said by republicans here who
usually know what they talk about,
that Mr.. Reed has already formed the
House committees, having known for
months that he would be Speaker, and
that therefore he will not come here
until the last of the month, and there
by avoid the annoyance of those who
think they have ''pulls" upon him, OF
may "pester" him with unasked for
advice.
