POLITICAL NOTES.

At the meeting of the Mckinley and
Hobart club, of Washington, last night,
Capt. P. II. McCaull made a short
speech.
Judge Rixey, who has been making
a vigorous campaign in this district for
the Bryan and Sewall ticket and for
himself in his district, sees q sweeping
victory ahead for the free silver party.
His information is that nothing can
stem the tide of the free coinage senti-
ment. prophesies democratic vic
tory of not less than fifty thousand in
the State. The farming element, he
believes, is almost solid for the Bryan
ticket.
Mr.. S. V. Southall, Of Charlottes-
vile, spoke at Petersburg last night
under the auspices OF the sound money
democratic party Of that city. He was
introduced to his audience by Hon. E.
c. Venable. Every time Mr.. Southall
mentioned Bryan's name he drew forth
rounds of applause. When he men
toned the names OF Cleveland and
O'Ferrall they were greeted with
Kisses. Mr.. Venable had to appeal to
the audience to keep order.
The New York State committee yes
terday evening revised the regular
democratic ticket. Danforth having
declined to become the candidate for
governor, Judge Porter was nominated
for the position and &c. Schraub for
acknowledgements. The committee
thus promotes Judge Porter, the candi
date of the Buffalo convention, candi-
date for governor in place of John
Boyd TEACHER. No change was made
in the third place on the ticket.
The largest crowd that has been in
Warrenton for several years assembled
there yesterday. The democratic por
ton of the crowd was addressed in the
court house yard by Mr.. ]. F. Rxey,
of Culpeper; Mr.. R. Walton Moore, of
Fairfax, and Mr.. A. A. Lipscomb, of
Alexandria county. The republican
element, principally negroes, gathered
in the basement of the court house,
where they were addressed by Mr.. r.
It. Hubbard, OF Buckingham, and Mr..
?. II. McCaull, of Culpeper.
In reply to letter informing him OF
his election as an honorary member of
the Bryan and Sewall Free Silver Club
OF Norfolk, Hon. Arthur Sewall has
written o letter to Captain Page Nc
Carthy, expressing his willingness TO
meet the members of the club. Mr.
Sewall has been requested to deliver
| Il nf
Eastern Virginia Fair, to be held there
next month. The club has been in
formed that it will be impossible for
Mr.. Bryan to speak in Norfolk.
Mr.. Bryan arrived at the Hotel Bar
tholdi, New York city, at 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. He had come from
Bath, Me and had made number of
speeches on his journey. Part of his
speeches took the form of questions and
answers and he was often interrupted.
The inquiries, however, were courteous
and were received in that spirit. In
reference to the disturbance by Yale
students, Mr.. Bryan said 'Do not crit
icise the boys too harshly.n MIR. Bryan
was accompanied by committee from
Tammany Hall, which had gone to
Bridgeport, Conn, to meet him. Mr..
Sewall is also in New York.
Yesterday was Orange County Court
and quite large crowd assembled.
Messrs. Anderson, of Alexandria; Nc.
Cabe, of J.oudoup; Gordon, of Louisa,
and General Field, of Albemarle, made
telling speeches for democracy and sill
yer, and completely held the crowd.
Messrs. Wyndham Meredith Of Rich
mond, and Waters, OF Alexandra, rep
resenting the boilers, wanted division
of time, but this was declined by the
democratic county committee. Sena-
tor Blair, of New Hampshire, and
Judge Weed, of Vermont, represented
the republicans. These spoke to 8
small audience of negroes and few
white people in vacant lot. The
democratic speakers offered the repub-
licans division of time, but they de-
clined to accept. The representatives
of sound money did not speak.
A dispatch from Richmond says !:
The republican barrel is not to be with
held from the members of that party in
this State. The Lamb and Waddill
factions have come together and har-
monized all of their past differences
and are to pull together without
discord during the balance of
this campaign. This solution of the
trouble was effected by Gen. N. M. Cur
It's, of New York, who came here as
the representative of Hanna's commit
tee. The republican State committee
met last night, when that gentleman
was present and smoothed matters out.
Chairman Lamb agreed to place the
names of the Waddill committeeman
from the second and fourth districts on
the roll as contestants. He also with
drew the name of Col. James Lyons as
the choice of the boilers for elector in
the Richmond district. This is &C.
cepted as the end of the republican fac
tional war in Virginia"
