REJOICING IN ALEXANDRIA OVER THE
REPUBLICAN VICTORY IN ONO.
The Town Illuminated with Fireworks and
Filled with Band Music-Able Speeches on
the Issue OF the Campaign-Thc "Posts"
Endorsement OF Blaine Quoted.

The Blaine and Logan Central Repub-
lican club, of Alexandria, held grand
mass meeting in that city last night.
Assembling at tho City hotel, the head
quarters of tho city republican commit
tee, of which Col. Edmund Burke Is
chairman, the club marched through tho
principal streets with brass and drum
and fifo bands, transparencies, and any
amount Of fireworks, to tho stand south
of tho Federal building, which had been
gayly decorated for the occasion.
Col. Burke opened the meeting by
stating Its object--to celebrate the victory
in Ohio. BY this time the street in front
of the stand was packed with people,
among whom was fair proportion of
white mon.
A letter was read from Hon. 8. p
Rounds and received with uproarious APP
plause.
Hon. I. G. O'Nesl was then nominated
and unanimously elected chairman. Ho
plead for good order, and introduced Hon.
w. W. Curry as tho first speaker. Mr..
Curry took as his text an editorial from
tho Washington Post of the day after the
nomination Of Mr.. Blaine. In which tho
candidate was laudcd and the party COM
plimented on tho selection. He Endorsed
the editorial as most true, though most
extraordinary, compliment to tho repub-
lican leader. The question of the suit
ability of the man for tho Office was con-
coded by this leading exponent
of democracy. No apologies need
be made for tho great soldier and
patriot whose name is second on tho
tickat Tho nsf buI hot nlatnata
strength must not BIO underestimated, and
that the democracy must meet tho nomi-
nation with the best and purost man in
the party. If Grover Cleveland was the
best and purest man the party could pro-
duce, then it must be poorer in presiden-
tial timber even than he had previously
imagined. Loud cheers and laughter. ]
No one knew Grover Cleveland before
this campaign; knew not whether he was
in favor of tho union or the confederacy,
of the resumption of specie payments or
of the imposition of o tariff; he had mover
been heard from on any of these ques-
tions. His associate on the ticket had
said in a carcfully-written speech that he
had never seen Cleveland but once, and
that was after his nomination. The Post
said, in addition, that the nomination not
only forced an issue between tho best men
