Admiral George Brown, commanding
the Norfolk navy yard visited the
Navy Department this morning anc
urged upon the suthoritieE the desira-
oility 0. making more uae Of the excel-
zen. facilitiea provided there for the re-
pair Of naval yes5els. He reported

Mr. Boyd Barrett, formerly proprie-
tor Of the old City Hotel in ALEXANDRIA,
now member Of the democratic con-
gressional committee Of South Dakota,
writes here that the democrats are bet
ter organized than ever before and that
the State will 20 for Bryan by large
majority.

10 labor circles here to-day it il said
that Fowderly, the deposed chief Of the
knignta Of labor, was paid 5000 tor
his support Of Mckinley, but that the
knights were 80 provoked with him for
biz treachery, 10 taking service under
the plutocrats, that they printed his
previous letters in favor Of the Chicago
platform, and raised such q clamor

Labor organizations can not forgive

their hold upon the State. Now, how

are generally in favor OF free silver, and
that he really believes Bryan will carry

Ex-Goy. McCreary Of Kentucky, has

in which he tells him that Bryan will
surely carry that State. Gov. McCreary,
who had been enormously cassed az
