Alexandria. The contest was between
the Wings and Democrats, ana great IN

means of communication were somewhat
limited In those days, put there was
telegraph line from Washington 10 Alex

with the Wing headquarters in Washing
ton to send US information on the hight
Of the election.
Alexandria, aud our chairman who was a
pre-eminently pious man, received ana
read aloud the kilograms as they care

he ascribcd the Democratic defeat to two
things-the hard times entailed upon tile
people by Republican legislation and the
failure Of the Democratic Congress to pass
the tariff bill I'm time TO have its benefits
known and felt before the election was
at hand.
There is something superbly grand TO

In the world, willing 10 make more sacri-

earth"
