I | think it will be found when the votes are connted | that those who have hitherto voted with the republican party have refused to contribute to. democratic success by voting with the people's party. All local methods are being Utilized to prejudice voters. and great efforts are being made to divide the republicans wherever that is possible. That fact is under stood. however, and the republican not contribute to democratic success in that way.” CONGRESSMAN CUMMINGS’ REPORT OF VIRGINIA, Congressman Cummings is back from a tour through Virginia, Pennsylvanian and New Jer- sey. He does not speak in the most confident terms as to the sitnation in the old dominion. “Shave been some time in Col. 0'Ferral district and found a good deal of feeling there | on acconnt of the action of the House in defeat ing the silver bill. This, however, I think, it disappearing. Attention is being furned to the | atcitude of the republicans on the force bill.” ‘Then you think this will offset the dissatis- | | faction in regard to silver?" “Yea, [think 0. ‘The silver democrats are | beginning to realize that they can better afford | to accept the situation as regards the silver question than to contribute to republican #uc- cess when that ia coupled with the force bill.” “What about the third party in Virginia?” “The people are beginning to understand there thatevery vote cast for the Farmers’ Alliance means a half vote for republicanism | and the force bill and tariff. Therefore the third party is losing ground rapidly. The men who have been inclined to co-operate with the | alliance see that there is no prospect of the suc- cess of that organization at present, and that continued co-operation with it’ ren-| ders republican success probable. They would rather have democracy and low tariff even with- out free silver than republicanism, f@rce bill and high tariff with froe silver. “How about the congressional districts in Virginia?” . ‘The democrats are likely to carry all of them, I think. The republicans are only claiming a fighting chance in two or three districts and I do pan they will get a single member. ‘The fight in the second district is an interesting ‘one because the nomince was born in the White House. He isa son of the late ex-President Tyler and his nomination gives great satisfac- tion.” THE FIGHT ON PECK A MISTARE. There is a large amount of democratic pro- fanity being vented here as a result of the fight being made on Commissioner Peck at Albany. It is surpatsing the fears of the democrats, who feared its effects, and they are openly admitting their alarm at the probable result. A prom- inent officer of the House visited democratic | headquarters and in plain language informed its members that he considered the sending of the committee to Albany a great mistake and the selection of such men as Anderson for it little short of a crime aga Gov. Flower was at headq Jong consultation with Messrs. Harrity and Quinev, andit is reported expressed great alarm as to the result of the injudicious course of the committee. No eventin the campaign has been productive of such bitterness and democrats are openly condemning the action of the national committee in authorizing such 4 course. The difieulty now is that having begun ac- tion Mr. Harrity cannot well stop it without | e. There can be no doubt | ort is doing the democrats | t damage, but the personal fight they are g on him is having a bad effect on the Hill wing of the party and is greatly widening the breach between the two factions. The Hill Tammany people are becoming very bitter and | are denouncing the men whem Harrity selected for this work as representatives of the mug- wump element extremely distasteful to the reg- ular democracy. A number of leading demo- crats have called on Harrity about it und it is understood that he is very much worried over what they consider the extremely bad judg- ment displayed by him in the matter. ‘There seems to be a difference of opinion as to | whether the republicans have abandoned the | iden of carrying any southern state, Editor | Halsted intimates as much, but there is reason | to believe they ure quite hopeful about Ala- bama. Advices from there show that a large per- centage of the democrats are adhering to the Alabama alliance party and determined to sup- port the alliance electors. This grows out of their feeling that they were cheated out of their votes in the gubernatorial election, in which they are encouraged by Kolb, who is still claim- ing that he was elected governor. It is also likely that a vigorous effort will be made to earry North Carolina and the two Virginias. ast the democray ters and hai DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. A PETITION FROM PRODUCE DEALPRS.

The reserves were composed of twelve infantry regiments, one Tifle regiment, Bucktails, one cavalry regiment and one regiment of artillery. The whole formed one complete division in the army, and were orgunized as such at Tenleytown, D.C., in the early part of the war.

AtS p.m. they reassembled at the Willows and sat down toa collation. The toasts brought ; forth both joy and sorrow. The first was, “The Union and the flag; a star for every state and a state for every star.” Then came, “Pennsylvania: Foremost to sustain the | the Union; justly styled the the federal arch,” which cited long and continued ' cheering. The third toast, “Our old commanders, good men and true,” was followed by “The rank and file of the reserves; soldiersin war, citizens in peace; in peace or war patriots ever.” ‘This tonst was greeted with much applause and when the noise had subsided the next toast was given, which quickly squelched the merriment. | “Our’ departed comrades; their monuments must be in the hearts of the people; their requiem the blessing of the people.” ‘This was the last. and after lingering a while longer the men left the hotel, took the cars and in due time reached the city.

Over one hundred dwellings were burned and two lives were lost in a fire at Rockawi yesterday—the most disastrous fire that has ever visited the Long Island coast. The loss is over $600,000. The fire broke out in the Sea- side Museum, near the beach, and it was there that the loss of life occurred. Mrs. Phillips and her six-year-old daughter were burned. The high wind carried the flames to the neigh- boring frame buildings, and scross Sea- side avenue to Meissner's Hotel and to -Meissner's shooting gallery and carousal. Almost simultaneously Seamen's Hotel caught fire and within five minutes after the flames broke through the roof of the museum the fire began to eat its way in all directions. In succession the flames attacked the other hotels along the beach and on both sides of Seaside avenue. Among the principal buildings burned were Coliins’ Hotel, Murry & Datz’s Grand Ocean Hotel, New York Hotel, Peterson & Barry's Hotel, Meyers’ Hotel, ilion and pier; Columbus Hotel, F.
