POLITICAL NOTES.

Judge Rixey and Mr.. Andrew Lips
comb will speak at King George Court
House on Thursday. Mr.. McCaull will
also be there.
The secretary of the national demo-
cratic committee says the committee Is
satisfied with Mr.. Bryans campaign in
New York, and expects him to carry
the State as we'll as the central West.
Many delegates are arriving at In
diauapolis for the convention o; the
national democratic party" which
will begin there TO morrow. Il is an
nounced that Senator Villas will not
permit the use of his name as q candi-
date for the presidential nomination,
and that he is for Gen. Edward 5.
Bragg for the nomination. There is
talk OF nominating Gen. Simon 3.
Buckner, OF Kentucky, or Secretary OF
the Navy Herbert for the vice presi
dency. Were it not for the opposition
to third term, the majority Of the
delegates who will attend the conven-
ton would favor the nomination Of Mr..
Cleveland.
Sound money democrats of New
York held State convention at SYRIA
cuse yesterday and elected delegation
TO Indianapolis. The following resolu-
ton was adopted, THAT this conven.
ton, when it adjourns, adjourn to meet
at the city of Brooklyn, at s o'clock p.
a., on Thursday, the 24.h day of Sep
TENDER next, or such other day not
later than the 30th day of Septembc'.
as the State committee may appoint. to
nominate the remainder Of the presi-
Dental electoral ticket and candidates
for State officers and to transact such
other business as may be proper" a
draft of money plank, prepared in the
Treasury Department, has been seen
by several leaders OF the movement.
and there is general impression that
suggestions from this quarter will be
received by the committee on resolu.
tons and by the convention with
great deal of favor. A movement to
secure an Endorsement of the principle
of the income tax does not receive the
hearty support from the delegates.
Mr.. Bryan left New York State yes
terday evening and entered Ohio. HI
stopped at number of places along
the lake in the trip from Chautauqua
and made speeches. Mr.. Bryan has
been the object of no other demonstra
ton so vociferous and so spectacular a.
that which the city of Cleveland gave
him last night, and nowhere else, with
the possible exception of New York.
have no many people attempted to hear
him talk. Two great meetings listen
ed to Mr.. Bryan. the first in the Cen
trail Armory, where sixteen thousand
people heard him; the second in Music
Hall, which held eight thousand. and
afterwards he spoke to several thou
sand from the balcony OF the Hollenden
Hotel. Bands and marching campaign
clubs were numerous about the streets,
and, with thousands OF strangers in its
gates, the city bore holiday aspect.
Special trains brought out-of-town
clubs in during the afternoon. Five
hundred came on one train from Can
ton, the members of the Bryan Club OF
that city with their friends.

THE VALUE of exports of manufac-
tured articles from this country during
the last thirteen months amounted to
nearly two hundred and fifty million
dollars, the cause being the reduction
in the tariff on raw material effected by
the tariff bill, which Mr.. Cleveland call
Ell formulated per6dity and dishonor.
The republicans and boilers would stop
this and prevent the export of all
such articles by electing Mr.. Mckinley,
who says the present tariff bill should
bs wiped off the statute books and a
high tariff bill, bill that would impose
high duties on raw material, be passed
in its stead

The OMISSION of Alexandria from the
time tables of the Pennsylvania Rail.
road was entirely accidental on the
part of that road. The mistake was
corrected as soon as the attention OF
the proper official was called to it, and
will not occur again. The company's
trains between this city and Washing.
ton were taken off because the running
of the electric cars made them unproft,
able, but all the through trains on the
road stop at Alexandria.

BY ALL means the boilers conven-
ton at indianapolis should nominate
Mr.. Cleveland He is its logical nom
inee; but for him it would never have
been held, and he and his appointees
have alone given it habitation and a
name. That he would be the nominee
if he would accept the nomination
there is not the slightest doubt, but he
is entirely too smart to give the party
he has deserted, though it has shower
ed honors and wealth upon him. a
chance to have whack at him.

The Rate War.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 1.-The decision
given yesterday by Judge Simonton,
Of the l. :. Circuit Court, at Charles
ton, 5. c., affords an opportunity for a
renewal OF the rate war between the
Southern Railway and the Seaboard
Air Line. The reduction OF eighty per
cent. in freight rates. ordered by the
Southern Railway Company, will now
probably be enforced. II was to pre-
vent this reduction that the injunction
was asked for. TIE Seaboard Air Line
mad reduced the rates by 33; per cent.
but would not meet the 50 per cent. GU;
nich the Southern announced with
the object, its officials stated, OF making
the war severe. swift and short. II is
or the card. therefore, that the South
err may take freight at 50 per cent less
than regular rates. while the Seaboard
nav stick TO its ne.thiri OF.
Pressure is being brought TO bear to
AMIGA bly, settle the breach between the
Southern and Seaboard systems An
arbitration committee has been suggest
Ell for this purpose by those interested
10 the securities OF both systems TO
avoid the heavy losses which renewal
of hostiities means. The removal OF the
York rivers Norfolk line, the establish
ment OF which led to the strained re-
l.tions, is the ultimatum issued last
month by the Bay Line as the only
means toward peace.
a dispatch from Norfolk says; The
Seaboard Air Line officials state that
it is not probable that the Seaboard
WI meet the 50 per cent. cut OF the
Southern Railway, since Judge Simon
TN dismissed the injunction bill. They
state that their SO per cent. reduction
will continue"

she had seen on the trip, not excepting
Chicago. Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan were
driven to the depot where a special car
was attached to the Columbus train.
He was received at the train by the
Columbus delegation. The train left

Four CHILDREN AT BIRTH.-Mrs.
O. 81. Stickels, who lives on Old Mill
Hill, Stratford. Conn.,, is doing all she
can to counteract the impression gained
from County Health Officer Hills re-
port, that there are fewer births in
Stratford in proportion to the popula-
ton than in any town in the State. On
Saturday Mrs. Stickels gave birth to
four children, and the remarkable fact
is that all of the bankruptcies are aliye.
The birth of the bankruptcies took place
st S O'Clock in the morning. There
are three girls and one boy. Ali the
children are understood; the heaviest
weighs only seven pounds, while the
smallest, girl, the last born, weighs
only four pounds. She is the most del
icate Of the four, and it will take great
care to save her life. The mother of
the children is thirty-fve years old.
Her husband is farmer. Both parents
are in robust health. Three other chill
dren have been born to the couple.
The quadruplets' birth was the first
known in the State.
