Democratic Voters who VIII not Send
Delegates to LeesburE
AT the meeting Of Democratic voters
Of the jefferson magisterial district Of
Alexandria County to elect delegates to
the Leesburg Convention, the following
preamble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted.
Whereas there has been such indecent
haste made by few friends and relatives OF
General w. II. +. Lee to reuominate him
for third term In the Congress Of the
United States, regardless Of the will OF the
great majority Of the Democratic voters OF
this Congressional district; and
Whereas the unlawful and diCtatorial
action Of the chairman of the Democratic
executive committee Of Stafford County IA
portion Of this Congressional district) was
50 grossly insulting tocommon fairness and
10 the right OF the people, in arbitrarily
calling convention in that county TO select
delegates TO the Leesburg nominating con
ventiOn without consulting the other mem
hers Of the county committee as to the
time, place, and manner Of selecting said
delegates, and without giving sufficient
notice OF said county convention, thereby
rObbing n great majority OF the peO-
pie Of that portion of this Congressional
district Of their lawful right to a fair ex-
preston Of their wishes, and by other acts
Of said chairman so revolving aud unfair
as to cause several members Of the execu-
tive committee Of that county, and one
delegate appointed at the so-called county
convention, 20 publicly protest against
such tyrannical iniustic and un-American
dealings; and
Whereas, all honorable competing cand-
dates under such shameful state OF affairs
have declined TO allow their names to be
used before the convention to be held at
Leesburg on the Goth inst; and
Whereas, there is great dissatisfac-
out the district, and an almost
universal expression Of feeling that
the great body Of the Democratic
party Of this District do not want General
Lee to represent them IN the next Congress,
but that he is forcing himself and being
forced by few in temporary authority,
upon an unwilling peoples and
Whereas General Lees nearly four years
IN Congress has been Of no benefit what
ever to this county, but to the contrary,
replete with good opportunities INSULT
Cieutly acted upon, neglected and wholly
lost tO-the great damage to the welfare Of
our people, and to the great hurt to the
prosperity OF our community; and
Whereas we are strongly opposed 20 the
denomination Of General Lee FOR Congress,
and desiring TO take no part In the Lees
burg convention because we do not believe
that II represents one-tenth OF the Demo
cratic voters Of this Congressional district.
Therefore, be IL
Rcsolrcd That we, the Democratic voters
Of jefferson magistorial district Of Alcxan-
dria County, refrain from sending delegates
20 the so-called nominating convention to
he held IN Leesburg on the 2Oth inst.

SUCCESSFUL GARDEN PARTY.



The roor OF ST. Arban's Parish VIII
Have Cause to BE Thanbfui.
The Sewing Society Of St. Alban s
Church has every reason to be proud on
the success which has crowned It's latest
effort toward ameliorating the condition
Of the poor Of the parish. The garden
party for the benefit Of the society was
given last night on the lawn Of Captain
Van Zandts residence, opposite the
church, and from to II o'clock there
was a constant stream Of visitors The
grounds were prettily decorated with
Chinese lanterns and music was fur
nished by a string band.
In the dining room Mrs. Van Zandt
presided over a bountiful supper table,
ana Miss Jeanie G. Van Laudt had
charge Of the refreshment table In a
shady corner Of the lawn Mrs. Falls
dispensed ice cream and cake and the
business at her table was continuous
and profitable al the evening Miss
Tillie Falls made a charming Rebecca
at the Well, and the excellent quality
Of her lemonade brought In a store Of
"nickels'' that it took her a long time
TO count Delicious candy sold by a
still more delicious young Miss caused
many to visit Miss Mamie Schneider's
table, where the supply was not equal
10 the demand
Miss Lilly Schneiders face beamed
with satisfaction all the evening, for
the sales at the fancy table over which
she presided exceeded even her prayer
full expectations. The display here was
very attractive and reflected great credit
on the skilful handiwork Of the numer-
Gus donors. Miss Clara Baker, In
charge Of the grab bag had 10 report
"all grabbed" and Miss Katie
Schneider, who made a charming post
mistress, was kept quite busy at the
general delivery window" Miss
Minnie Brooke, who, in a very becoming
Yum. Yum costume, sat behind the
japanese table, dispensed iced tea, fruit
and cigars, and. with Miss Lena
Brooke. who sold flowers at the adioin-
ing table, turned in large sum to the
treasurer.
One Of the great attractions was the
exhibition Of the phonOpraph, which
was located in the parlor Of the resi-
dence. The place was continuously
crowded and the popularity OF the pho.
nograph for such entertainments was
fully demonstrated. Miss Van Zandt
presided over this part Of the pro
gramme and Mr.. Budding Of the Co
lumbia Phonograph Company, 027 +
street northwest whose machine was
used, had charge Of the exhibition,
The musical records included many
Of the most popular selections played by
the Marine Band.
Misses Falls, Lowe, Ellis, Morton,
Schneider and loabough worked In
dustriously as mattresses.

SUMMING UP
TIE ARGUMENTS In THE GUY TRIAL
BEGAN TODAY.
District Attorney HazeItou MAKES a
Review Of the Testimony, and
Asks for the Lieuten-
ants Dismissal.

Il was precisely los o'clock when
District Attorney Hazelton. with the
voluminous mass of testimony on the
table before him taken during the trial
and indexed by Stenographer Edwin
Forrest. arose and addressed the Com
missioners in the opening argument ia
the Guy trial. The first thing he did
was 20 read the rules and resolutions
governing the police force, and the
charges and specifications preferred
against Guy, heretofore published 10
The CRITIC.
District Attorney Hazelton took m
the charges preferred against Guy Of
not reporting officers John Hart and
Robert H. Smith for drunkenness and
shielding the policy shops Of w. II.
Riley and James McGlue. He read all
the testimony given by the witnesses in
the two latter charges, which consumed
considerable time. After this Mr.
Hazelton read the testimony as given in
the charges against Lieutenant Guy as
to efficiency and integrity, and es.
pecially the testimony of eX- Lieutenant
Arnold that he met Guy at Harris &
Shafer's iewelry store where he Guy
had purchased a watch for 500 with
money given him by Max Hilton, who,
at the time, was at the head Of the
policy dealers in Washington.
Burgess testimony was particularly
dwelt upon in his testimony that Guy
had received money from the Louisiana
Lottery Company through Dr. Mohuu,
and Of having received $40 from Kate
Black.
Mr. Hazelton then reviewed the testi-
mony Of the witnesses, and In summing
up, said whether OF not Arnold periured
himself in his testimony Il does not ap-
ply to that given by Burgess and
Atkinson. The attempt, he said, to
impeach the testimony Of Burgess aud
other Witnesses had proved a failure.
and that as 10 character, the statements
Of some witnesses were as fair as those
given by others.
At 1:55 p. m. Mr.. Claughton pro-
ceeded 10 speak. lie said that before
he proceeded to his argument he wished
TO refer 10 statements that had been
made that the Commissioners had a
right to dismiss Lieutenant Guy with
out a trial, and for which grace he
should be correspondingly grateful
Mr.. Claughton said the power and
right 10 dismiss an officer was limited
unless the public interest demanded IL,
and that Il could neither be arbitrary nor
capricious. The point he wished 10
raise was whether Lieutenant Guys
dismissal was demanded by the
clamor Of bad and vile men, or
for the interests Of the public good II
the charges against Lieutenant Guy are
not proven, you cannot dismiss him.
The charges said Mr.. Claughton, are
serious, but he would warn the Com.
missioners not to lnillct such a terrible
calamity as dismissal upon man
whose IepuiatIOn had been eXCellent.

QUAY's RESOLUTION.

THE PENNsYLvANtA SENATOR LOOKING
Ur RECRUITS ron THE CAUCUS.
II has transpired that the Quay resolu-
tion, regulating the order Of the busl
ness In the Senate, Is identical with the
proposition submitted to the Democrats
two weeks ago by Senators Hiscock
and Aldrich. The latter will not say
outright that he Is In favor OF abandon.
ing the Force bill, but he does say that
in his opinion the Tariff bill Is OF
vastly more importance than any mere
political legislation.
Senator Quay was In close consulta.
tion with Senator Washburn and other
Republicans known 10 be indifferent 10
the passage of the Force bill. II Is sup
posed that he was looking up his sup
port for the tug Of war ia the caucus
