Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1889-11-16

fifty odd years has been In the continuous
employ of the Senate, and who has, by con-
cesling their identity, been enabled to pre-.
serve them from the vandalism of relic
hunters. Senators Moody and Pettgrew
are the only two of the eight new Senators
who have been elected, and they have se.
lected two of the new seats in the outer row
on the republican side.
Representative Bowdep, of the Norfolk
district, Va one of the only two republic
cans from his State now in Congress, is here
to-day. He says he doesn't know when
General Mahones anticipated address, as
signing fraud and intimidation as the causes
OF his recent defeat, will be issued. but he
does know that fraud was rampant in his
district, or words to that effect.
Ex-Representative Tsulbee, of Kentucky =,
says most of the recent lawessness in his
State has occurred in mis- district, the Con-
gresham from which Is republican. He
says the population of the district is CON-
posed of the men and the descendants of
men who followed the deer and turkeys
from Virgins, Tennessee and the more
thickly settled portions of Kentucky, who
think the greatest man Ia the one who Is the
best shot at long and the best slasher al
short distances. He says proposition Is
now being considered in Kentucky Tor or
ganizing a special police force of fifty picked
men to be Kept at the Capital and sent as
occasion may require to the places In which
lawlessness makes its appearance.
Now that the republicans in Virginia
have had time to recover from the shock of
their recent defeat. they have resumed their
visits to the Postoffice Department. where
thew always had favor, and have revived
their applications for offices and renewed
their talk about such offices. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Wise has transferred his en-
dorsemenissof Mr.. Grubbs-who has been
provided for by Collector Bradyf-or the
Richmond postofice, to Judge Atkins,
and that the latter may probably be
appointed, as MIR. Blair Morris ia
Mahone's iavorite, and as the re-.
cent election shows that Malone ia
not endorsed by his party. MIR. Rob
inson, an applicant for the Danvlie
postofice, accompanied by Coils. Sims anG
Popham had an interview with Postmaster
General Wanamsker to day. MIR. Agnew
of Alexandria also called upon MIR. Wana
maker in reference to some OF the offices in
his district, but there were 30 many ahead
| of him that he did not wait for his turn.
Some of the applicants say they were told
to keen quiet until after the election, and
they did 30, but that now nothing can be
risked by removing democratic incumbent'
| and filling the vacancies with republicans
They seem to think also that hereafter Vir
ginia republicans will be appointed more or
| their individual merits than on the endorse
ment of General Malone or that OF tht
| leaders OF the "kickers."
AS anticipated in yesterdays GAZETTE
| Edw. Marbaker was to-day appointed post
master at Yoy. Prince William county. Vir
ginia, vice 81. Voy. removed. This was the
only change made in the 4th class postoftice
of Virginia to day.
The first session of the Fifty first Congress
will assemble two weeks from next Monday
Forty-fve members of the House have al
ready arrived, and about dozen Senators
1t seems to be pretty we'll understood
the State Department that Virginia is tc
| find no favors there. Mr.. Blaine never wal
| favorably disposed to those Virginia appi
cants who had General Mahone's endorse
ments, and now that the General has been
submerged it ia thought best to ignore al
Virginia applications, especially as there are
80 many from other States. The Genera
has hurt the Virginia repub icans individual
IL as we'll as collectively.
