MR. BLAINE, in his speech at Brooklyn
yesterday, -took occasion to laud to the
skies the ghoul who raked up the skeleton
of the Byron scandal, Mrs. Harriet Beecher
Stowe, whom he delighted to honor for the
part she took in bringing on the civil war
by writing "Uncle Toms Cabin" He was
down, as of late, on rebellion, but said
nothing of ssrum and Romanism."

AND NOW the Federal authorities, in Gin

BY arresting policemen on the frivolous
charge of interfering with voters at the late
election in that city! 1t is wonder the
people are so long suffering.

'Patrick, who are you going to vote fof?"
was the question put by boss to one of his
workmen. "For Cleveland, sure" was the
quick response well, remember if you do
your wages will have to be reduced" "Oh,
no, sir. Sure you thought that, you'd vote
for him YOURSELF" was Pats reply.

WHEN Mr.. BLAINE was hrst nominated
for President, his friends said it vas the re-
suit of the influence of the business men OF
the North, who desired stability, and that
bis election would result to the advantage
of the business interests of the entire coun'
try. The WaI Street Ne,Us, non partisan
journal, gives about as fair reflex OF the
views of those to whom the real business
interests of the country are of any interest,
as any other newspaper. Here Is what IL
says on that subject:
"Think of Gould naming five Judges OF
the Supreme Court, in the event OF Blaines
election. Whose property, real or personal
in this country would then Dc sate ~
looks very much, however, as II the cry OF
On to Washington :! would prove as ifuit.
less AZ it did when Tweed and Gould
cot mn the same kind of & deal some years
ago"
Also the following
"Blaine does not represent the best Gle.
ments of the republican party. He repre-
sents the peculiar ideas and methods OF such
men as Jay Gould, Cyrus W. Field, Sidney
Dillon, Russell Sage and G. ?. Huntington
His election means the triumph of Gould
ism, which fifteen years ago was known as
Tweedism. It is the money of the great
monopolsts of the Pacific railroads which
is being used to elect B aiue, aud they ex-
pect in return none but The most dishonora'
BILE services"
Among the many different influences that
combined will result in the defeat of the
Gould and star reuters candidate, none is
more potent, in the North, than that Of the
business men of that section, the men whose
own financial welfare depends upon the
prosperity of the whole country.

70 the editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:


have neither the time nor the inclina-
lion to engage in newspaper controversy,
aud least of all with a person who, though
:. republican, has in some manner, best
known to himself, got possession Of demo.
cratic ticket who acknowledges over his
own signature that 'the ticket desired was
the national republican ticket changed to
suit the various Congressional districts ~
and that he wanted it 'made the same size
and printed on the same kind Of paper" as
the sample shown. ! am content to dismiss
him, and the controversy, with the publica-
ton of the following a6darits voluntarily
sent me by parties to whom have been as
unknown as the respondent in this matter
is 10 me.
1t must not be understood that my orgi-
nal letter was intended to dignity individu-
ally the two parties named therein, but
rather to call attention to the methods OF
he party to which they belong. for we have
FOOD warrant to believe that figs do not
grow on thistles nor grapes on thorns.

Mr. Gerhard has settled down to q more even

Nelson, on 9Th avenue, just above 18th street.
He is seldom seen at the club, spends much OF
his time at the stables, and rarely attends the
theater. When he does he retires into the mag.
nifcent seclusiOn of q private box, and hurrIes
away before the play Is over, so as not to be

statement OF a lady who had been robbed BY this
gang graphically described her experience with
certain detectives, and tended to show their col
fusion with thieves and 'fences" Then came
the sworn statement of Parker, Berry and Nc
Gill, three sneak thieves. one of whom
described thirty robberies that he had been per-
petrated, twelve Of which were committed in
about months time. These confessions gave
the details not only Of the robberies. but the

stolen from their residences, then carried to q

and held there while detectives bargained with
the owners for the ransom and divided the
money thus received with the fence and the
thieves.
Information was at the same time secured of
those who committed the large robberies, OF
which mention has been made, and the expose
was complete and startling.
