for the benefit Of his party. lie is thor
oughly acquainted with his district from
the farthest limits OF Accomac 10 the
Orange line.
In conversation with the Dispatch cor
respondent he said:
Il am satisfied that our people will give
the Bryan and Sewall ticket an over
whelming majority. and that Represen-
tative W. Jones Will be returned 70
Congress by the largest vote given any
congressional candidate in our district for

Mr.. Smith left for his home to-day via
Baltimore.
HON. J. TAYLOR ELLYSON.
The published report that Hon. J. Tay-
lor Enyson. chairman Of the State Com
mittee, was in Washington. was an err
ror. as MI Ellyson is at this time in
Virginia, devoting his entire services TO
the conduct OF the campaign. He is. how
ever. in daily telegraphic communication
with Senator Faulkner. who does not ex-
press the least apprehension as to the re-
suit IN our State.

Of Alabama. did not hesitate 10 express
his belief that Bryan could be defeated
In his State, and Judge Martin, OF Ne
braska, prophesied that the nominee or
the Chicago convention would fail 10
carry his own state. From Tennessee
and Oregon and other States came SINH
lar assurances.
The spectacle thus presented OF promi-
nent Democrats rejoicing over the ptoba-
bic success Of a Republican candidate
forms one Of the most remarkable anona-
lies OF the situation.
THE NOMINATIONS.
Another unusual feature Is the entire
absence of any aggressive competition for
the nominations. By general consent, the
task Of selecting the leaders Of the forlorn
hope has been remitted to the delegates
from the Middle Western States, where,
1t is believed, the actual battle-ground
will be. This trend Of sentiment favors
Bragg and Buckner. but there is strong
undercurrent for Villas. The Wisconsin
ex-senator remains loyal to the instruc-
tiOns of his State Convention, which de-
clared for Bragg and declines 10 discuss
the possibility of his own nomination. The
Cleveland boom. Notwithstanding the adj
ditional impetus given IL by the arrival
to-day Of the Florida and other southern
delegatiOnS, VINO faVor tue ffesiuehl re-
nomination, seems 10 have entirely spent
itself. Mr.. Hugh Wallace. OF Washing
ton, who launched II last evening, and at
midnight was quite enthusiastic over the
reception given to IT, said this evening
that the situation was chaotic. one rea-
son, perhaps, why Mr.. Cleveland's name
is no longer mentioned, is because wcrd
has been passed around among his friends
that Senator Villas Is supposed 10 have
letter from the President peremptorily
forbidding the use OF his name.
The conferences held by the several del
egations to-day have strengthened by a
movement to put Up bolting Demo-
cratic State tickets in oil the Central
States that are considered fighting
ground. Illinois. Michigan. and Missouri

and make the fight all salong the line.

SEABOiRD AIRLINE
Lower Rates for Passengers Duly
Filed.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. September l.
The seaboard Airline to- ay filed with
the Interstate Commerce Commission
new tariff Of passenger rates. to 20 into
effect Friday. September 4th. making
lower rate in passenger fares than was in
effect by the tarin previously filed, which,
as a result Of Judge Simonton's Ter,
was withdrawn August sth. The new
tariff makes the rate between Norfolk
and Atlanta IS, against .. under the
tariff withdrawn. with a corresponding
reduction to points north OF Norfolk.
The Seaboard has not yet filed amended
freight tariffs.
BIR. ST. JOHN ON THE SITUATION.
PORTSMOUTH. VA, September l.
Vice-President st. John, OF the Seaboard
Airline, to-day. in the course Of an In
terview on the subject OF Judge Simon
toms recent decision, dissolving the tenn
porary injunction against the Seaboard
AIRLINE, said there was no reason why
the Seaboard should not return to the
rates in effect previous to the Issuance OF
the restraining order. Referring to in
timations that the Southern States
Freight Association is preparing tariff
on the basis Of a 80 per cent. reduction
to Seaboard competitive points, ignoring
the long and short haul clause Of the in
terstate commerce law Mr.. st. John
said the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion would enforce in its own way that
law which demands that no higher rates
shall be made FOR a shorter than for
longer haul, and that the seaboard would
obey this feature Of the law in tariffs 10
be issued, as in the past.
CAUSE OF THE DISTURBANCES.
"The present disturbances I'm rates"
said Mr. 81. John, result from the South
erns effort TO destroy our revenues and
business. after which the results likely to
follow may be easily ina gined.
I'VE shall defend our property and our
rights from any intended quiet and subtle
attack. from whatever source II may
come he said, "and we will continue 10

tusers, producers. and the good people
