FROM WASHINGTON.


FROM WASHINGTON.
| Correspondence OF the Alexandria Gazette ]
Mr.. Bryan, the democratic candidate
| for President, arrived here on time this
evening. He was met by large crowd
at the depot. He was escorted to the
Metropolitan Hotel, and from there, a
little before five O'Clock, will 60 to Capt.
toll Park, where he will speak, and
where twenty-five thousand people
have already assembled to hear him.
MIR. G. l.. Browning, of Rappahan-
mock county, Virginia, one of the Of
icials of the U. S. House of Represen-
tatiyes. is here to-day. He says his
county will give the largest democratic
majority she has ever given before, as
there are only two or three gold demo-
Gratis in the county, while there are
many republicans who will vote the
silver ticket, and many republicans are
dissatisfied with their county organiza,
| ton.
Among the hundreds of Virginians
who came shere to-day to hear the
speech of the democratic candidate for
President are Congressman Meredith,
his democratic successor, Mr.. Rixey,
and Mr.. Speaker Ryan of the House OF
Delegates of his State. The former
saws that while there are no boilers in
his county, Prince William, there are
many free silver republicans there. He
says that two years ago Mr.. McCaull,
the republican candidate for Congress
| in his district, who ia now goldite,
said publicly, and on the stump,
when he was running against
| him, that he would vote for free silver
irrespective of his party. MIR. Ri1ey
says the party is in good condition II
all parts of his district and will poll an
increased majority. He says that both
in King George and Stafford the demo
Gratis tried to have discussion with
the republicans, but that the latter
would consent to no terms other than
that they should close the speaking
and have as long time az they might
choose in which to do 80, which, o.
course, could not be agreed to. He
says MIR. McCaull said two years ago he
would leave his party if it did not favor
free silver. Mr.. Ryan says his county
Loudoun, will give larger democratic
majority than usual, as it will gain many
votes from the republicans and lose, SC
far as he knows of, not more than two
or three.
| Virginians here to-day sag that Gov
ernor O'Ferrall OF their State, by de-
sorting his party and joining the assist
ant republicans, will not only add to
the Bryan vote in his old district, the
7th, but in the whole State.
Ex-senator Butler of South Carolina,
who is here on business, says he has
been in politics long time, but that
in all of it he was never more uncer.
tain of the result of an election than
now: but that the only cause of the un-
certainty ia the possible effect of the
immense sum of money that will be
used to elect Mckinley, as the combined
capital of this country, and some say, OF
a large part of that of England, is at
Mr.. Hanna's command.
Colonel Brady, of the committee ap-
pointed by the national republican
committee to conduct the republican
campaign IL Virginia, is here to-day.
He says Virginia is republican State
and will go for Mckinley if the demo
Gratis don't count him out"
Senator German was at democratic
| Headquarters here to-day. He came
here with delegation, among whom
were ex-Congressmen Compton and
Talbert and Ex-AtJorney General
Carr. of his State, to escort Mr.. Bryan
to Baltimore, where he will speak to-
night. Mr. German is assisting both
the national and the Maryland demo-
cratic committees to the utmost extent
of his power, and his valuable services
are fully appreciated. He does not
| talk much for publication, but Messrs.
Compton, Talhert and Carr say Mary
land is sure to go for Bryan.
