Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. -.
Postmaster General Wanamaker, in
n letter this morning TO the civil ser
vice commission, acknowledges the re-
ceipt of their communication of the 10th
instant, calling attention to the case of
the postmaster at Whitney, Michigan.
1t appears that the postmaster was re-
auested by the secretary of the repub-
lican State committee of Michigan to
furnish him with the names of patrons
of his office, their politics, etc, with a
view to sending them campaign ltera-
ture. lIr. Wanamakci says: This
Department is powerless to prohibit
persons from making requests of this
kind to postmasters, although it forbids,
by official order, all postmaStcrS and
other postal officers to furnish lists Of
names and addresses and private in
formation gained by them in the dis
c barge of their official duties"
Collector Brady left here for his home
in Petersburg this morning. He got

da tie in that district by his recent trip to

Mallone,s Committee.

William Flanagan, of Amelia, A. w.
Harris, of Dinwiddic, and James ID.
Neblett, of Sussex, the committee APP
pointed by the Malone wing of the re-
publican party to prepare an address to
the republican voters of the fourth con-
gressional district of Virginia, have
completed the document, which is in
pamphlet form, and will be widely cir
culated The address has special refer
ence to the action of the Brady-Lang-
sion combination at Burkeville on the
81 of September in nominating S. Y.
Gillian, of Dnwiddie county, for Con-
gress from that district. The address
says:
Sin view Of the proceeding of what
has been called the Langston-Brady
Convention, at Burkeville, we can safe
ly assert that the attempt there made
to throttle and defeat the popular will
was the foulest that has ever disgraced
the annals of our political history
Speaking of ex-Congressman James d.
Brady, the address says: THAT he is
tool and an active agent of the demo-
cratic party no better evidence is need
ed than the words of the late la
mented Senator and State demo-
cratic chairman, John S. Barbour, who
to a prominent democratic friend, when
approached and asked to vote against
Brady's confirmation to the office OF
collector of internal revenue, said he
could not comply with his request; the
democratic party owed Brady its sup
port for past services and for future
uses" Brady, the address claims, is
the breeder of contentious and the crea-
tor of factions, an enemy to party dis
cipline and promoter of discord.
Speaking of Langston's refusal to ac-
cept the nomination for Congress from
that district, the address says: THE col
ored voters of the district will take
note of Langston'5 betrayal. The most
vexatious and objectionable feature
in the whole scheme was his conceal
ment of his purposes, when he knew
that candor and open dealing would
have defeated the whole combination
programme, and it is to be regretted
that men have been hoodwinked so
long and have made so many sacrifices
before his true character was devel-
oped.n The committee in their ad-
dress saytheyare ct loss TO see the faint
eat show of regularity in Mr.. S. Y. Gil
lia,n's nomination as candidate for
the district, and they repudiate and
denounce it as bogus.

The Columbus Celebration.

new YORK, Oct. l2.-The celebra-
ton of military day, the greatest Of ell
the days devoted to honoring the dis
covery of this country, began at 6;Oa
this morning with the hosting of the
stars and stripes from the Liberty Pole
at the battery. The weather was de-
lightfll. Throughout the earlier morn
ing hours portable stands and carts
built up with slanting rows of seats be-
gan to be stationed ut points OF vantage
from the battery up Broadway 10
Fourth street, then west around Wash
ington Square to Fifth avenue, to tour-
teenth street, to Fourth avenue, TO
Seventeenth street, to Fifth avenue ana
TO Fifty-ninth street, where the parade
was eventually disbanded. The route
lust mentioned was the one followed by
the great military parade. There was
not a seat or standing room anywhere
in windows, on roofs, on the stoops,
lamp posts, stands or elsewhere where
human being, large or small, could
find perching room. Fabulous prices
were paid for windows and balconies.
The parade was one OF the most gor-
seous ever witnessed. The streets were
swarming with people. Fully 25O,ooo
strangers witnessed the parade as well
as probably an equal number from
Brooklyn, Jersey City, Hoboken, West
Chester and other counties and other
surrounding points. In the 29o,oOo
mentioned are included only the num-
Der OF people whom the police estimate
as having travelled many miles III or
der to be in New York in time for the
parade.
After the military pageant was over
the crowds directed their steps towards
Central Park, where the Columbus
monument was unveiled. A salute OF
q guns was fired as the monument
was unveiled.

A RuMoR is current among politicians
of both parties that though ex-Gov-
ernor Foraker of Ohio has made a
speech for Mr.. Harrison, he is by no
means well affected towards him, and
that he doesn't hesitate to tell his init
mate friends that were it not for the
popular local ticket the Cincinnati re-
publicans have nominated, ne does not
believe the President would get five
thousand votes in the whole of Hamil-
ton county. A small republican vote
in that county indicates that the demo-
Gratis will carry the State, and the i'm
preston, at present, certainly seems to
be deepening that such will be the case

OUR chief is away and we have
no authority to print the following
from the St. Cloud J07umuz Press,
put it has the true ring in it in re-
latlon to our editors honesty.
Any man whoever or whatever he
may be, that utters any sentiment
rejecting on Bob Dunn's integrity
IS either liar, a calumniator, a
villain or fool. Whatever other
shortcomings he may have-and
who has them not-he is honest
and fearless:
The JournalRress regrets that the
editors of the Sank Rapids Sentinel and
the Princeton UNION are engaged in a
very foolish row. So long as thew con-
tinued to fire away at each other. this
paper had nothing to say, but when
outside parties are falsely assailed, as a
matter OF fair play, the Jou1maz-P Press
wi simply correct misstatements.
The last issue of the Sentinel intimates
very broadly that the UNION editor, r.
Y. Dunn, voted in the senatorial caucus
nearly four years ago for w. D. Wash
burn and received for such vote two
thousand dollars worth of pine land.
ms statement is not true Mr.. Dunn
did not vote in the caucus for Mr..
Washburn, but voted every time for
ID. M: Sabin. This the writer knows
positively to be the fact. The insinua-
tlon against Senator Washburn is con-
temptible; even Donnelly has not re-
sorted to more bare faced lie. In all
kindness we would suggest to the
Sentinel editor that if he cannot hold
his own in a controversy with the
Princeton UNION, that it would be
more to his credit to drop the matter.
than attempt to make points for his
side by uttering false ISLANDERS against
outside parties. While Bob Dunn has
his faults, as have we ALL, his honesty
has never been cushioned by any COM
petent witness, and the fact that he is
the most popular man in his own
county is pretty good evidence that he
commands the respect and friendship
OF those who know him best.

seriously contemplating his incar-

that anything he may say in his

Cause of q National Trait,

1t is q matter Of common observation
that Hebrews as rule are more than
ordinarily devoted to their families, and
their home life is beautiful in many
ways. AS everything has cause, the
most plausible one in this regard appears
to me to be the severe prosecutions to
which that race has been subjected for
centuries, compelling clannishness and
affording*them their greatest happiness
at home. Persistent influences acting
through numberless generations would
surely institute a racial popularity such
as this.-S. V. Clevenger in Science.

A Troublesome Name in Chicago.

The many variations as to the pronun-
citation of the name Goethe street cause
some queer misunderstanding and lu-
dicrous situations. A policeman who
was standing on the corner of Wells
street and Chicago avenue was asked if
he knew where man lived ~.
"Shure, an he's afther Twin on Goatee
sthreet," he replied. H.
"Where?' ..
"Goatee sthreet."
"How do you spell it," -
"Pfwhy, s'pose like g-o-a-t-y, same
as a goat"
But the man was still in the dark. so
he stepped into a corner drug store and
asked the question he had put to the po-
liceman.
"Mr. j lives on Geety street."
"Where is that placer ,.."
"Just eleven blocks north of here"
A Wells street car soon covered the
eleven blocks and Goethe street was
reached. After the interview rad Seen
attended to a number of inquiries were
made of various persons in regard to the
name Of the street, eliciting at least a
dozen different pronunciations.- Chi
