town in Maine from the business depression.
She has felt it much less keenly than Lewis

cut down wages. They have a good lot OF
orders. Only one or two shops in the city
have reduced wages. Nearly all of them are
running ten hours day. Superintendent Hack
er of the new shoe factory says the run is
late this year. but he expects to turn out %
cases a day in few weeks. He is now max
ing about ten cases day. Mr.. Geo. II.

TRoTH,s GRIEVANCE.

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
In Tuesdays issue of the "Tri-Weekly
GAZETTE" appeared an article signed ~. B.
Troth, Accotink, Va.," in which he gives a
very distorted and false account of the
democratic demonstration held here Nov.
18th. I would not deign to notice the efiu.
sion of spite and disappointment, if he had
not in an unkind and untruthfuI manner re-
ferred to the ladies at my house. He said ::
"The headquarters of the celebration were
at the house of prominent citizen: The
party Of ladies and gentlemen that met
sang a song. 1t was something like this,
90, we will hang old John Troth, &C., &C.,
on q sour apple tree There was NUM-
Der of ladies ENGAGED in singing this outrage
Gus song Among them were many ladies
of high standing in good society,"" Sc.
Now the truth of the matter is this: There
was only one lady at my house during the
evening besides my wife, neither of whom
left the house during the demonstration,
and neither Of whom sang Of, spoke of, nor
| am quite sure even thought of j. b. Troth.
Some half a dozen or more y0ung men did,
during The fifteen or twenty minutes cessa-
the tube of the cannon, march up and down
the street and sing, 1--WE will hang John
Troth and others on u sour apple tree" hut
his was done only in spirit of fun and jol-
lily, and Mr.. Troth knew this as we'll as
any one else, therefore his hypocliical cant
about the seriousness of the thu eat contain
ed in the song was OILY equaled by his call
for protection for the white republicans of
Mt. Vernon District.
Mr.. Troth also says, Had these threats
been made by the rabble out there that
these bightoned gentlemen and ladies were
feeding on pine top whiskey, we should not
| thought it 50 serious natter Sc. | can
truly say, and prove by Messrs. Gailard,
| Dangerfield, S. E. hewitt, Landstreet and
others, who took supper with us that night,
that there was not drop of Intoxicating
| liquor offered or drank in my house or on
my premises on the occasion referred to;
indeed do not believe there was any liquor
drank in the village. There were some
four or five young men in the party WHO
were slightly intoxica. ed, but not to IL de :
gree to make them at all troublesome or
offensive, and they did their drinking befoi e
reaching the village. There was a general
understanding among all concerned i'll the
demonstration that no one should be insult
ed or injured in person or property.
1t is evident to every thinking man that
the same spirit that animated James G..
| Blaine to make his late reasonable and in
cendiary speech in Augusta, prompted John
| B. Troth to write the article to which this
is a reply, and l think all good citizens
should feel extremely grateful that the
Government of this country has been wrest.
