Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1896-07-18

the man who wished that the heart,
head and hand of the author of the
order to return the Confederate flags to
their respective States might be para
lived, and as the anarchist Most has
declared for gold, and Mr.. Eugene
Debs, against Bryan and Sewall.
The recent removal of the govern
ment's deposits from silver bank IN
Jacksonville, Florida, and their trans
fer to gold bank in the same city, Is
said here to imply that the U. S. Soil
citor General and the commissioner
and deputy commissioner OF pensions
will be disciplined for having the man
illness to express their intention of sup
porting their party's ticket. In refer
ence to the latter, Mr.. Bell, who spoke
at q silver meeting in Alexandria last
night, it is said he ought to be employ
ed by the democratic national COM
mjttee as an expounder of the princi-
pies of their ticket.
The numerous friends of Justice
Field of the U. S. Supreme Court here
say they fear his present illness is NOR
tai, and that though he is man of in
doInitable will and has determined not
to die and give the President an oppor-
tunity of appointing his successor, his
extreme old age and feebleness are
against him, and that it is hardly posi-
BILE he can survive Mr.. Cleveland's
term of Office.
Baltimore people here to-day say
they have seen it stated that while the
free silver feeling is rife in the rural
districts of Maryland, it amounts to
little or nothing in their city, but that
nothing could be more incorrect. Bal
timore, they say, is full of it, and that
it affects republicans and democrats
alike, and that the official action of the
republican mayor of their city and the
recent boiling of the gold standard
democrats there have greatly increased
its strength.
Senator Jones, chairman of the ma
tional democratic committee, an
,icipates no trouble from the ma
tional populist convention, for the
reason that if it should decide
to put ticket in the field, no
man of any strength would accept its
nomination, and the vote it would re-
ceive be insignificant. Other people
mere say the high tariff republicans and
gold boilers of the North have raised q
large sum of money with which to in
duce that convention to nominate q
ticket, and that, judging from the lead
ers of the populists with whom they
are acquainted, they think it highly
probable that attempt may succeed.
1t is reported here that the lily
white republicans in Alexandria are to
make another attempt to take charge
of their party, at least in that city, if
not in the district. Quite a number of
the leading white republicans of that
district we're here to-day, consulting
about their party's affairs.
Mr.. Alexander Mcdonald, U. S. Min
lister to Persia, now in this country on
furlough, is here on, his way to his
home in Lynchburg. He is suffering
from laryngitis and stopped here to
consult physician about his condition.
Judge Miller, of this city, fined BIZ
cycle rider here S. this morning for rid
ing over pedestrian, saying that
horses may become unmanageable, but
that men should not, and that he will
do all he can to save the walkers from
the riders.
Mrs. G. A. Perry and her daughter,
while riding in their carriage this morn
ing, were run into by an ice wagon.
The carriage was smashed but neither
of them was seriously hurt.
