To the Editor Of The Alexandria Gazette:
/ notice in the Washington letter TO
your paper yesterday an interview with
Mr.. Frank Hume in which he is quoted
as saying that the report that he had
voted against his own party had not
the shadow Of truth to sustain it, Now
from what | understand from good au-
thOrity Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow telephoned to
Mr.. Hume that | was the man who was
active in my efforts to make it known
that Mr.. Hume did not vote the demo-
cratic ticket. This statement of Mr..
NJ. b. Harlow's is not true. / did re-
peat what had been told me at the polls
at Fourmi!e run that Hume did not
vote for Mr.. Cleveland and did write
Mr.. Meredith's name on d republican
ballot and vote that ticket. | will say
further, have it from some of MIR.
Hume's best friends that he did not
vote for lcveland-therefore he could
not vote for the electors, which left
bat one man to vote for on the demo-
cratic ticket (NIr. Meredith who was
told Mr.. Hume did vote for. Now
/ invite your attention to the returns
of Jefferson district and see how the
vote stands as reported in your paper.
Meredith ran two ahead of Cleveland
and Harrison two ahead of Turner.
What does this look like? Mr. Hume
said it must be for some personal spite
against him. l will assure Mr.. Hume [
have no personal hard feeling against
him, and l would be glad to do him any
favor, but no personal feeling, love or
relation has kept or ever will keep me
from doing the things l think best for
myself and tellowmen. l think any
man who will use any means except
manhood and legal power to "get even"
on personal matter, is coward.

ALEXANDRIA, Va, Nov. II, 1892.
To the Editor Of the alexandria Gazette:
A local item in your issue of last
evening mentions my name as one OF
several who lit is said" are covcting
the postmastership of this city under
the incoming administration. This is a
mistake | have never authorized any
one to say [ was an aspirant for the
position, as | am mot in it, Had we
not all better try to realize the import
ance of this glorious victory and all it
means to the whole people, and espe-
cially to as, before we enter upon new
campaign, within our party, which will
inevitably be accompanied with many
disappointments? Respectfully.

INVENTOR BELLS TRoUBLEs.-Geo.
Ii. Bell, the inventor, has filed an an
swer in Newark, n. j., to the COM
plant of his wife in a suit for divorce
and alimony. Mr.. Bell denies that he
treated his wife unkindly or neglected
her in any way. He says that his wife
ridiculed him when he prayed, and
showed violent temper. This UNI
nerved him so that he could not do JUS
tice to his work as an inventor. He
charges her with having on one occa-
sion slapped his face and smashed his
eyeglasses, at the same time exclaim-
ing "Oh, if l could only see you
dead" He says that she told him that
she would have her way or there would
be eternal hell in the house. On an
other occasion he wanted her to agree
to refer their trouble to the Rev. DR..
Boyd, of the Peddie Memorial Church,
when she said to him ''The church
folks, the devil will not have them
meddling with my affairs" Mr.. Bell
also says that his wife refused to pre-
pare his meals or make his bed, and
that she ordered goods that were not
necessary and sold them to the neigh
bors. a hearing in the divorce suit
will probably be had in the Court of
Chancery some time next week.

SENATOR GoRMAN-A dispatch from
New York says: Senator Germans
dinner Wednesday night with the Pres
ident-elect upon Mr.. Clcveland's invi-
tation has occasioned a great deal of
comment among Germans admirers.
Throughoutthe campaign the candidate
and Senator German conducted their
intercourscs through VIM. c. Whitney,
and that they We're apparently out was
evident. Since the election Mr.. Cleve-
land has stated that he is ready to rec
ognize the work of the Maryland Sena-
tor, and the first step in that direction
was the invitation extended to him to
dine ut Mr.. Cleveland's house. The
usual amount of Cabinet building has
been going on here, and some of the
tables contain Germans name. He
has been mentioned as available for a
Cabinet place, but it is yet too soon to
predict what Mr.. Cleveland will do
four months hence. 1t is generally be-
lieved here that Germans counsel will
be sought by Mr.. Cleveland at Wash
ington as it was sought by the mana
gers of Mr.. Cleveland's campaign, and
that is why the Marylander wears a
pleasing smile and has word for every
Maryander that comes along"

LAST NIGHTS REJoICING.-The eX-
tensive preparations which had been
going on yesterday for bonfres at night
eliminated in several respectable
bazes in every quarter of the city be-
tween seven and eight o'clock, though
the most colossal were on the fair
grounds, at the upper end of King
street, and on Windmill Hill, at the
southern end of Lee street. A stifiand
cold northwest wind was blowing at
the time and wintry-looking clouds,
black and dismal, were tumbling over
each other and banking into solid
masses, while the sickly light from one
or two stars, which struggled for recog-
milton between the riffs, to be thrown
into an eclipse by the mountain of
cloud. were about the only things say
oring of light overhead. This state of
things made lights terrestrial more
glaring, and as the lurid flame from
huge pyramids of fire shot heavenward
and east halo of light for squares
around. the crowds which had gathered
shouted and cheered themselves hoarse.
The old fair grounds proved to be ia
vored spot for such display, and as
the flames from the boxes, barrels and
divers other combustibles grew fierce
and strong, the spectacle savored OF
wcirdness and grandeur, and amid the
cracking of the fire, the tumbling of
the burning embers, the sheet OF light
cast over houses and fields ada
cent and the hurrahs of the multi
tude. the Civilizations of victory from
thousands of threats showed how
sincerely all enjoyed the opportu-
nifty of giving vent to their feelings.
The blaze on Windmill Hill drew
large crowd to the southern end of the
city. About halfpast seven O'Clock
the bank of combustibles was ignited
and few minutes later several squares
flee street, as many more of Union
and all the adjacent commons were IL
Illuminated, while far above the cloud of
light the burgee from the pole with
the names of Cleveland, Stevenson and
Meredith on them. kept unfolded to the
best advantage by the stiff breeze, as
sumed pyrotechnical appearance and
the names of these democratic stand
ard bearers could have been read in
nearly every quarter of the city. This
brilliant scene continued for nearly
half an hour, during which time cheer
after cheer rent the air, while old Po-
tomac. which was also basking in the
sheen of light, surged and roared rs it
seemed to vie with the multitudes over
looking its banks in the enthusiasm OF
victory. Several smaller fires were
kindled in other sections of the city,
around which numbers Of enthusiastic
people gathered.
