Correspondence Of tho Richmond Dispnich.I
ALEXANDRIA. Va, Nov. 6, 1890.
The Democrats Of this city, for there
are a few true-blue ones still left, arc en-
joying hearty laugh at Frank Humes
attempt 10 explain his overwhelming de-
feat by saying that General Lee and tho
Democrats bought up ell the negroes
and poor white people and brought them
70 the polls in droyes to vote the Dem
Ocratic ticket, and that they spent more
money than be could afford" This is
absurd on the face, for any one who
knows the two men knows that Frank
Hume is by far wenltbier man than
General Lee, who has but his salary as q
congressman 10 live upon. Besides this,
IL is Il woll-known fact that the Washing
tom merchants contributed largely to
Hume's campaign fund, they being de-
sirous to have man in Congress who
would represent Washington city.
HUME's mspEST MONEY.
As TO the bribing OF negroes to vote
for General Lee the Democrats in this
section had but enough money TO pay the
necessary election expenses, and rs there
WIS no necessity for buying the negro
vote, they paid the expenses and let the
negro vote as he pleased. In this city
whore nine tenths Of the negroes and
poor white people" voted for Frank
Hume, money was never moro plentiful
than on election-day, aud if they did not
get the money from Hume or his repre-
sentatives, 10 must have grown on trees,
for men who had money last Tuesday
were never known TO have any before
Tho charges brought by Mr., Hume
against General Lee arc but the utter
ances Of an angry, disappointed, and de-
fcated aspirant for honors he could not
reach. The defeat of Frank Hume in
the back counties is due TO the fact that
outside Of Alexandria city and county he
is bat little known and that the greater
portion Of the voters in this district can
not swallow Republicanism under the
guisc Of an Independent Democrat
