Fair or Foul.

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In late circular of the chairman OF the
State Democratic Committee, ii was charged
that "our political enemies are hard at work
and employing all means fair or foul, to
cast the vote of Virginia for the republican
candidates" Ia the past few days there
has been a striking illustration--a base
proof-of the correctness of this charge.
Two republicans Of Alexandria-one the
Honorable Lewis Mckenzie, ex Postmaster
tx. Member Of Congress, eX-sLraighout, and
Save the mark y ex-VicePresident OF Il
Blaine and Logan club; this Mr. Lewis Nc.
kcrzie, and exc Mr.. Lewis Mckenzie
Bell-who is, as yet, unknown to iame-by
some means obtained possession of demo
cratic election ticket, and the following
letter will show the uses to which they
sought to put it:
WAsH1NoToS, D. C., Oct 25, 1881.
Az. j. Dr. Hill Alexandria, Ia:
DEAR SIR: had 4 call to day from two Alex
andrians, who were looking for the printer of the
election tickets. They had one Of the Eth Dis
trct tickets, which they wanted engraved and
changed to the 9th District. with republican
candidate in place of Mr.. Trigg.
Isave them non .committal answer to Their
proposition. Ono Of tho parties | know. l
thought best to notify you of tho matter.
The letter writer's name is withheld for
obvious reasous-but it can be had by any
BODY entitled to ask ii, and, if desired, gu
affidavit also.
Observe the cunning Of the thing-trom
the Seventh to the Ninth district, from Il safe
democratic to what they call safe rcpuhll-
can district but, if safe, why this resort to
chcanery and tricks TO cloud al honest
title with fraud
Perhaps An attempt will be made to deny
these statements. My assertion is based
upon the letter of disiDterested person,
without motive to invent fa'sehood, and
upon the further information that Mr.. Nc
Kenze, abandoning the forum of conscience,
has inadvertently acknowledged the corn
by consulting lawyer to know if he has
done anything wrong"
have no wish to indulge in any denun-
citation of the conduct of an old man whose
hoary head ought to protect him from pub
lie and private reproach. Neither need
waste time or space on the early and emu
lative namesake who aspires TO follow In
the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor,
for | am content to let his virtue be IFS own
reward.
But it is in order to ask the people Of
Virginia if they will associate with politi
cal party where the MISUNDERSTANDING the
false clamors of their false leaders for
"free ballot and fair count" attempt by
fraud and GOWN to poison the very printer
ink which ought to make the ballot the
echo of freeman's voice so much worse
than dumb as to defeat and contradict it
self and its honest purpose. :.

Mr.. Heecher and JOY.

In letter to the New York Tribune JAM
es F. Joy denies that he ever said to Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher that Mr.. Blaine when
Speaker made him an offer or proposition
directly or through third person that he
would appoint committee to suit Joy, or
put man on that committee as he wished
if Joy would buy Little Rock and Fort
Smith bonds OF Blaine at par. He says Mr.
Beechcr's memory is ut fault.
The following letter from Mr.. Beecher to
Mr.. Joy is published.
"BRooKLYN. Oct. IS, 1851. Mr.. Joy-Sir :
You said at your own table, before me, that
Mr.. Biane offered TO form a committee as
YOU desired il, provided you would take GER
tain bonds OF bun at par. You did lean
back in YOUR chair, put your thumbs into
your vest shoulders and add with contempt,
That's the man that Blaine is
~ did not violate tine laws Of hospitality
| in using the incident. | never spoke of it
publ .Iy until your injudicious friend, Cover
nor Alger, made garbed statement, which,
under your denial, made me a false witness.
Then I was justified in selfdefense. mem
| Der Of Plymouth Church, who is ashamed of
his own name, explains, in close connection
with your letter Of this morning. that Mr..
Beecher Is known to be very forgetul. Yes,
ten thousand things l forget and ten thor
sand things | remember. / do both thor
oughly, and your statement was burned in
to nv memory as with fire, and your false.
hood will, fear, be burned into your mem
DRY as with fire. n
hSuch efrontery is marvellous even i'll this
political campaign. DO you dare look ex.
Governor Baldwin, Of Michigan, in The face,
who sat next me at your table, and deny
that you made such statements? What
will he think of you? Do you dare say
that you never made like statements Of
Blaine's conduct in the transaction alluded
to to Mr.. E. Smith president OF the Oregon
Trapscontnental Company? Mr.. Charles
James and Mr. Kueeland, of the New York
Elevated Railroad, both say that Mr.. Smith
stated to them that Joy had made to him
like statements Will Mr.. Smith publicly
| deny it?
evil you deny to Mr.. John Harmon, OF
Detroit, who was your attorney, and was
conversant with the whole matter at the
time of its happening, the correctness of the
substance OF my statement?
"Allow me to ask, by way of refreshing
your memory, whether the amount which
Blaine required was not nearer S4O, 900 than
S25 900 whether the intermediary between
Blaine and yourself was not Subsidy Pome,
roy and whether proper and honest indg
nation on that occasion was not so extreme
| that you would have sworn outright, had it
not been. luckily, that you were q church
member?
"Mr. Joy, you have told this story too
many times and 10 too many people 70 have
/ made it prudent 10 deny it now.
1.-The advantage which is expected from
your denial can last now but day or two,
but the lie will endure forever. 1t will
abide with you, follow you home, dwell in
your memory, be present in your old age,

to forgive lying Peter forgive you aud have

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette)
PLAINS STATION Oct. 27.-Never in the recol-
lection of the oldest citizens has there been such
interest shown in politics as has been shown by
the voters of this precinct during the present
canvass The large democratic club at this place,
known as the Farmers and Merchants Cleveland
and Hendricks Club receives nightly additions to
rs roll of membership. Whilst the most dis
tingnished talent that this or any other county
can produce is brought to bear upon the deci-
mated ranks of republicanism. One of the best
speeches yonr correspondent has yet heard was
delivered before the democratic club Of this place
on the night of the 23d instant by Mr.. T. B.
Robertson, ir former lawyer of Chicago but at
present resident of our county. His delivery
was rapid aud vigorous, and the speech was full
of telling points. In speaking of the republican
leaders he showed in mastery manner how
zone by one the roses fade"
Captain James Kirk patrick, one of the Oldest
merchants of this place, has sold stock and Tx
lures to R. Taylor.
The many citizens who left here Oh the I'D
instant have returned, and one aud sll say the
torchligbt proc. ssion of Alexandria was the
greatest success they ever witnessed.

THE national republican committee has
supplied General Malone with money to
buy the vote of Virginia, but the General is
sorely puzzled about selecting the men to
whom its disburseue nt shall be entrusted.
The experience of his past campaigns has
taught him that the handlers Of most of his
campaign money instead of buying voters
with it placed it where it would do them the
most good, in their own pockets, and kept
it there. His party affords him now even
less material from which to make reliable
selections than heretofore, and he is there
fore greatly bothered about finding men tc
whom he can entrust the money with any
hope that it will be expended in accordance
with his wishes.

SEVERAL TIMES of late the question has
been asked, Why does the Legislature re-
main in session or Why does it adjourn
over until November? or Why will it be IN
session upon the day of election? or why
does it entail so large cost upon the state
To all of these questions a satisfactory
answer may be given. The regular session
was extended at no cost TO the State lot
two weeks, but at large cost to the poorly
paid members, hoping to perfect all the
needed legislation of great and growing
State. Scarcely had the members vacated
their seats ere the Court of Appeals was
called upon, and did decide the election
laws. maturely considered by men in every
way tho equ,. q the court, invalid. From
that time had Virginia an electoral vote
Ifs how large? Eleven or twelve Would
desperate party, having in its possession
the White House, the army and the
federal patronage, allow it to be counted II
necessary to elect Grover Cleveland ? Hence
the call for an extra-session in which demo-
Gratis and patriotic republicans joined. The
LEGISLATURE met-the Court of Appeals in
session-passed new election laws and
were ready to adjourn, but there were
three standing menaces to the peace
and good order of the Stateionamely
An INFESTED election law, with Court Of
Appeals which upon mere pretext mad
declared valid law invalid, and imperilled
thereby the peace of the country; federal
court which had ordered the funding of a
vast debt, which funding the Riddleberger
bill did not contemplate; threatened
federal army to "protect" the Virginian g
ballot, when the right to cast it as wished
had never been denied. For these reasons
the Legislature adjourned to meet October
ed, 1854. Meeting October ED and sitting
three days, they adjourned to meet again
November Sd. The reasons prompting their
first adjournment still existed, with the
added enes that the debt question was once
more before the United States Supreme
Court and would shortly be decided, and
that local legislation was needed. In
presence of federal troops would interfere
with fair election, but not wishing the
disgrace of being subjected to military rule,
when their presence in session would under
the laws prevent the call Of troops by the
Governor, knowing that the cost to the
State had already been incurred, and that
the proposed prolongation Of one month
would cost the State nothing, the demo-
cratic members of the General Assembly
voted to extend the session thirty days,
adjourned to meet on November Sd nomi-
nally, but really to meet Friday, November
7th, and return to their homes to work for
Cleveland and Hendricks until sunset of
November 4th. In all of this they sought
but to do their duty to their people and
party, and return so far as they could legis
