Answer 1

George Templeton Strong declares Beezlebub as Washington's ruler. He also claims that Washington is the first detestable place together from the extreme heat,  crowd, poor fair and quarters, unhygienic environment. He considers Willard's hotel as his own temple. 

Answer 2

Answer:

- Beelzebub (identified in the New Testament as the devil)

- Willard´s Hotel

Explanation:

Willard´s Hotel, found on Pennsylvania Avenue and 14th near the White House, was the most popular accommodation in Washington DC during war time. However, the hotel was not appreciated by everyone. George Templeton Strong, who was a New York lawyer, said of it: "Beelzebub surely reigns here and Willard´s Hotel is his Temple."(Wright, 2001, p. 325), in a reference to the place association with sinful acts.
