Richmond. Va, July 23.-(SpeciaD-
Judge Waddill to-day consented to give
brief statement OF his views on the
political situation in this district He
SAID the two factions OF the Republic
ean party would certainly agree upon
candidate for Congress, and the man
they shall indorse will be acceptable to
the gold Democrats He declined to say
VINO would be the candidate. A good
many people construe the Judges re-
marks TO mean that the Republicans
VIII unite upon u gold Democrat In
TINS connection 1t may be stated that for
some time past there has been a rumor
10 the effect that Mr.. Gustavus Mil.
niser. young manufacturer with plenty
OF money, was willing TO run for Con-
Eress II he could get the support of the
Republicans and sound money Demo-
Gratis. Judge Waddill is said to be fay
oraoly inclined toward Mr.. Millhiser.
Capt. Richard II. Frayser is the latest
person to announce himself n candidate
FOR Congress. He is a dyed in the wool
SILVER man. Captain Frayser has been
unlucky In seeking office. He has with
IN the last four years twice been de-
tented of the nomination for the House
OF Delegates and once for Sheriff He
has Just made an unsuccessful effort to
secure the position OF tipstaff of the
Court OF Appeals. Captain Frayser has
been for several years editor of the
Richmond Mercantile and Manufacture
ing journal. nnd recently was admitted
to the bar.
The silver leaders In this district say
they will not be satisfied with the nomi-
nation of any man for Congress who is
not ut heart n silver man. They are
opposed to putting up one who has ad-
vocated sound currency, but who ac-
cepts and endorses the Chicago plat
form. This will hurt the ,ohances of
Col. Elicit. These sllverites contend
that if the Republicans put up q man
who Is a good talker the Democrats
tionni platform. which q person who op-
posed II cannot do. In other words the
tight is to he between gold and silver
ana silYerites want q candidate who Is
an enthusiastic believer In the white
metal.

ut is not unlikely that the Exposition
Grounds will soon be sold. The city has
been guaranteeing the interest on the
bonds of the society, hut the finance
committee has recommended that the
guarantee be not renewed. There will
'oS q ihSeliHs u IludS ing HI Ol dilOSe inter-
ested In the society to try and get the
commibtee TO reconsider. Should the
city refuse to give the guarantee the ao-
ciety will become seriously embarrassed
The grounds are most valuable in the
suburbs of the city.
Plans for the celebration Of Labor
Day 10y the various organizations of this
city in conjunction with those of Norfolk
at Ocean View are working along very
smoothly. The Trades and Labor Coun-.
ell of Richmond will carry down q big
crowd. 1t is hoped to have number OF
able speakers. As yet the arrangements
are not nearly completed.
There was report In railroad circles
to-day that the Southern Railway to-
morrow will make another cut to meet
the reduction by the Seaboard Air Line.
Assistant General Freight Agent Drake
denied that this was true. He said such
a course was not contemplated. While
the rates are so low the travel from here
to Baltimore will be very heavy.
