market which, for the past two
months, has been worrying the wall

spring which started the panic.
The real cause of the panic in
New York and along the lake
shore was a loss of confidence of
the banks aud the people in each
other. This loss of confidence was
occ asioned by the prevalence and
liberation of swindling in the
name of business. The cordape

tors of many millions by processes
as dishonest and immoral as those
practiced by the green goods men
or the bunco steerer. Still in the
name of business these swindling
concerns had their securities listed

business, social and religious circles.

ALEXANDRIA.
The Alexandria Delegates.

Ihe AIeXunuTIa DeIekatcos
The democratic ward meetings to elect
delegates to the Richmond gubernatorial
convention were busy last night in the va
rious places of assembly. After organixa-
ton ballots were at once begun, and the
result indicated a substantial majority for
Mr.. c. T. O'Ferrall in each of the wards.
No pronounced anti O'Ferrall man was
elected, but some of the delegates consider
themselves at liberty to vote in the con-
vention as their judgment shall dictate. The
following delegates were chosen: First
George Duffy and Hubert Snowden. On the
first ballot a tie took place between Hubert
Snowden and Capt. A. ]. Fair. but on sec

ter. The delegates will leave Alexandra on
the evening of the 18th instant.
The Unrepresentative City Council.
The election of delegates to the democra-
tic convention has incised on public atten-
ton the fact that while in the democratic
convention the third ward of this city has
eight delegates and the second ward only
three delegates, yet in the common council
Of the city each of these wards has four
delegates, the tnlrO Waru -FOUR less imam It's
fair representation, and the second ward
one more than in fairness it is entitled to.
The singular fact that the representation OF
the wards in the city council is based
neither upon population, property, area or
votes is now so glaringly evident that
change cannot much longer be delayed.
