Rather than having can Improbable con-
vIctlon that the first flush of impressions
made in too previous opening of the cam
paign has faded OUT we would say to the
Free Press that we are too, too utterly con-
WINGED that The support of Mr. Lucas in the
District is increasing daily and further, we
fail to fiud appended to The letter addressed
to Judge Hoge the names OF some Berkeley
county gentlemen who were his most ardent
supporters in the last campaign. Wonder if
the Free Press, with its very keen porceptivo
organs. has noticed this little fact. If SO, it
will afford it some food for reflection.
The Martinsburg Herald makes what i. no
doubt deems very facetious reply to our two
little paragraphs in regard to that paper last
week. It utterly fails, however, to define
f'Bourbon;sn, }" farther than to say, in SUBJ
stance, that CA Bourbon is n Bourbon, and
as to its specific facts and figures as to the
tremendous progression of West Virginia un-
der Radical Republican rule, and the de-
crease of population, property value and pros
pesity during the latter years of Bourbon
rule, it refuses to toe the mark and give its
readers light upon the subject. AS to deem
ing it its duty to "'pour oil upon the trou-
bled waters and to administer soothing syrup
to the refractory factors" we hopo tho oil is
not intended for explosive purposes, and that
there may not be too much bonzine in its
composition.
Whether or not Judge Hogc has ''in JEFF
ferson to~day moro friends DESTROYS of seeing
him returned to Congress than he had before
his first nomination." tho Free Press, We
opinc, will end will be decided emphatically
in the negative by solid delegation from
this county in the next Democratic Congress
sional Convention for tho Hon. Daniel B.
Lucas-a Democrat who has never stood
back when there was call to work for his
party, and who, in the dark hours of Radical
misrule, hcsitated not to beard the lion in his
den, and has since never failed, in a single
campaign, to do Trojan work in the cause of
his party, and for the advan cement of tho in
terests of his people and his State If it be
true that "the laborcr is worthy of his hire"
surely our able couutyman should receive
some consideration at tho hands of his party,
and especially the solid and hearty support
of the people of his own county.

Alexandria is situated on the west
ernmost branch of the Nile, on the
Mediterranean Sea, l12 miles north.
west OF Cairo, with which it is con-
nected by the Mahmoodeeyeh Canal
by the Nile and BY railway. Another
railway connects it with Rosetta. The
modern city is built on a peninsula
(anciently the Island of Pharos) and
on the isthmus connecting it with the
continent. The ancient city was on
the mainland, where its ruins cover
vast extent. TIE city has, or had be.
fore the bOmbardment, palace OF the
Khedive, large naval arsenal. naval
and military hospitals, a customhouse,
tribunal of commerce, the Italian
College, and free mission, normal and
other schools. La the new streets
and squares its aspect is more that of
a European than of African city. The
Turkish quarter is irregular, but the
Frank quarter has many good streets.
The city has beautiful country houses
in the suburbs. and an excellent new
artificial harbor, formed by break
water mole and quays, and is the
great emporium Of Egypt. The princi
pal exports are corn, cotton, wool,
gums, rice, dates, sugar, cotton SEED
wheat, beans. SIENNA and hides. The
principal imports are wooden and silk
goods, hardware and machinery, with
timber, coal, petroleum, drugs and
colonial products. 1t had regular
steam communication with all the
great Mediterranean ports. 1t is sup
piled with water from the Nile aud
partly lighted by gas. Its the seat Of
several large government aud other
factories in which steam is the motive

Alexandria was founded by Alex
ander the Great, 332 B. c. Under the
Ptolemles it rose to great distinction
FOR its learning. commerce, wealth
and literature It's library, founded
by Ptolemy Philadelphus, surpassed
all Others of antiquity, numbering
100000 volumes, portion of which
was accidentally destroyed by fire
during the war with Julius Caesar,
md the remainder by command of the
Caliph Omar in A. d. $40. From this
period the city fell into decay, its
population, once numbering 100000
souls, is said to have been reduced to
5000. Since the destruction of the
Mameluke pc yer it has been gaining

Egypt became nationality. The
popu atien in 1872 was 2l2,034, of
whom 47,3l6 were foreigners. Pom

pronounced it an unqualified and
most gratifying success. Every line
OF the hbretto aud the whole Of the
music were given with remarkable &C.
curacy, from first to last. Indeed, so
effective was the work presented, that
the audience frequently expressed its
appreciation by the bestowal Of en-
thusiastio applause. The entrance of
the twenty love-sick maidens, esthet-
ically dressed and playing on lutes
and mandolius, after the curtain rose,
made an intensely picturesque specta-
Gle, and the excellent singing Of the
first chorus drew forth rapturous ap-
plause. The singing of the dragons
was splendid, and themaidens chimed
in at the proper time with fine effect.
Portions Of the dialogue were notice
ably weak, and occasionally the voices
of tho soloists failed to rise with
the orchestral pitch, while the
right foot of some of the boys moved
where the left should have been used,
but a different result could hardly
have been expected when many of the

The snhappy Bolters.


The actual representation and alb
eof it at the late boilers conven-
too, as taken from full reports in the
Nashville papers, is given in another
column. After reading the glowing
dispatches sent out, and hearing the
frequent boast that nearly every coun-
ty was represented and that the gath
ering compared favorably in numbers
with the regular Democratic conven.
ton held in June, we we're surprised
to find that the bulk of the crowd,
including spectators, came from few
counties aud the city Of Nashville
Several counties entitled to large
delegation were represented by sim
gle delegate, who doubtless appointed
or suggested himself. Seven coun-
ties, entitled altogether under the
apportionment to twenty. seven del
egates, were represented By
proxies, and in several instances by
men not living in or near those cOun
ties. Out of the ninety four counties
in the State, forty-eight were not
represented at all, not even by a proxy.
Add to this number the seven coun
ties represented by proxies which did
not and could not reflect the will Of
the'people, and we find that fifty Eve
counties really were not represented
in the boilers meeting. 1t may be
said that these are small counties
Many of them are, it is true but their
aggregate representation would have
been about FIVE hundred delegates.
Add to this the counties that were
misrepresented by men never appoint
ed at any public meeting or by
any authority outside Of some back
office, and the boasted convention
would be reduced to an incousiderabl
minority. Yet men who have acted
with the Democratic party in times
past, and done good service, go off with
faction which repudiates the ira
ditiOn and very corner stone Of Democ
racy, the great written and unwrittep
law that the majority shall rule. This
is the more serious il carried out to Its
logical effect, from the fact that i
would turn the State over to the Re
publican party for years to come and
render the Democratic powerless TO-
good, and make it the laughing.stocl
of the country "a blind and
feeble old Samson feeling around
for the pillars under the temple Will
the Republican Philistines would hold
high carnival overhead. The will Of
the Democratic majority has unques
tionably been made known, and it
sustains the platform of the June
convention and the nomination Of
General Bate for Governor. And we
have the utmost faith that he will BE-
elected. The boilers may continue to
bolt and not see the error of their
ways; they may blow their trumpets,
buy up newspaper stock, and send
their great men forth to harangue the
masses, but it will be in vain. The
people will be true to their principles,
themselves and the gallant man who
carries the flag of their party. And
when it is all over some will return to
the old camp. and others continue
with the Republican party, but all
may ask themselves, "IfsOsoon we are
done for, what we're we ever begun
for2"
