A CARD

The managers of Lannon's Opera House feel it
their duty to mako an apology to the people Of
Alexandria who attended the entertainment
there last night. Could we have known or had
VIC have had any indication that the company
were not as they claimed in every particular, wo
should have refused to permit them TO play. But,
to the contrary they came to us highly recon-.
lncnded, having press notices of the highest cha
racter. Their Autographs, wall paper, press no.
tices, in fact everything which rghttully belongs
to first class troupe, were in their own posses
sion. We were deceived. Could VIC have only
known them, no money could have induced US to
even spend a thrcc.ccnt stamp on them in an
swering their letters. We were fooled so were
tao people who paid their admission to SEQ what
they expected would BIO fino performance. We
hope tho people will not be severe and lay the
blame upon us for this mishap. We feel vexed
to think VIC should have been dupcd by such
lot of Sc ,ond class players. We have great num-
bcr Of irst-c!ass troupes hooked, and promise the
people this season to put before them companies
of established merit. Hoping tho good people of
Alexandria will overlook this affair, and promis-
ing to use our greatest efforts in the future to
please them, we remain respectfully,

DEAR SIR - Your article in the last Fair

Attorney against tho slang and false state
ments of Edmund Burke, has created con.
siderable favorable comment in our county.
We do not want Mr.. Clements to have the
judgeship. He is now in the right place to
prevent certain parties from feasting on our
county. We want the people of Fairfax
and elsewhere to know that Burke & Co.
do not represent the respectable people of

We appreciate the bold and manly de-
Tense Of Mr. Clements in your article re.
ierred TO. You can print this letter if you
like over my name. Respectfully yours,

THE DEMOCRATS of New York reaffirm
the declarations of the democratic national
conventions of 1876, 1SS0,and 1854 in regard
to the necessity Of reforming the civil SER
vice, but condemn the actual administration
of the existing civil service law, as the same
has been executed by the republican party.
And in SO doing, it is not too sweeping to
say they have the approval of every true

IT IS supposed that Secretary Manning's
policy of calling in the small notes and is
suing silver dollars whenever he has an OPP
portunity to do so, is in accordance with
General Grants idea that the best way to
secure the repeal of an obnoxious law is to
enforce it vigorously. Nothing is more
conducive to mans opposition to the con-
tinued coinage of the silver dollars than the
weight of some of them in his pocket.
