FROM WASHINGTON.
Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Oct. %.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.
MIR. James L. Norris, assistant treas.
urer of the Washington democratic
committee, received letter from ex-
Congressman Tarper, of California, this
morning, from Alameda, stating that
California is safe for Bryan by $4,000
majority. A prominent lawyer of Sau
Francisco has written to Mr.. Norris to
the same effect. Mr.. Norris was in Balti-
more Saturday night when Senator
German spoke to a crowded meeting,
composed entirely of commercial travel
ers, every one of whom was for Bryan.
He afterwards attended a meeting Of
the hack and cab drivers Of that city
who were equally as unanimous for the
free silver candidate. Mr.. Norris says
while in Baltimore he talked with mem
bers of both the State and city demo
cratic committees, all of whom were
confident that Bryan would not only
carry the rural portion Of the State, but
Baltimore also.
People from Alexandria county here
to-day say they know nothing about
the appeal that has been made to the
people of this city, through the news
papers thereof, for pecuniary assistance
to help some unknown committee to
have the laws enforced in that county,
that such an appeal is we'll calculated to
!nJure the value of property in that
county, and that as there is DO legiti-
mate way by which money can be used
for any such purpose, they will doubt
the common sense ofthose who NAV re-
spond to the appeal.
The consensus Of opinion on the sub
ject here to-day is TO the effect that bets
upon the result of the coming election
are more uncertain than ever before.
but that no matter what it may be, it
will be decisive; that it depends entire
" upon the labor vote; that that vote
will be cast almost as unit, and that
the man who shall receive it, will be
elected by as weeping majority. 1t is
also believed that from now until the
night of election day. and even until
the returns are made out, money
from Mr.. Hanna's fund will flow into
all close, not only States, but districts.
Among those at democratic head
quarters here to-day was Mr.. Blair Lee,
the democratic candidate for Congress
from the Sixth Maryland district. He
is confident of his election, and so are
other people from his district now in
the city. The intelligence from all over
the country received at democratic
headquarters to-day is favorable and
every body there is confident of the
election of Bryan aud democratic
Congress. Chairman Faulkner, who
has just returned from Hampton, Vir-
gina, says the election of the demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in that
district is assured, and he says he has
reason to believe that such is the case
with all the other districts in the State

Marriageable Girls Wanted

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Oct. 26.-The
miners Of Trail Greek and Boundary
Creek, British Columbia, where there
are ten men to one woman, want wives
The fact that British Columbia laws
frown severely on gambling and drink
ing, have made the miners prosperous.
A prominent miner, who went recently
to Toronto and Montreal, told the Ca
nadians that if they would send loo
nice girls out to Rossland alone, every
one would get good husband. The
girls are taking up the matter seriously
and the first lot of would. be wives will
be arranged for this spring.

COLONEL NORTON, who was prom
nent candidate for the Presidential
nomination OF the populists, says
"Whether Mr.. Bryan is o popullst or
not. one thing is absolutely certain;
every enenv which reformers nave en-
countered during the last twenty years
we find to-day among his bitterest and
most relentless opponents. Every mo-
nopolistic corporation, every oppressor
OF labor, every d.grabber, every trust
and combine, every robber syndicate,
every millionaire stock jobber, every
subsidized newspaper, every we'll paid
CORPORATION lawyer, every millionaire
coal baron, every Shilock creditor, and
every plunderer of the worlds wealth
producers-all of these old time ene-
mics. whom reformers nave met on 80
many battle6elds, are to-day, Mr..
Brvan's enemies. If they are his enc
mics. he must be our friend. His sue
cess is their defeat; their defeat is our
victory"
This is true, and besides, it is plain,
common sense, and how intelligent
poor people opposed, to the men and
measures that have made and kept
them poor, can vote to support them
any longer, passes even extraordinary
comprehension.

A CARD FROM DIR. ABBOT.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 26, 1896.
TO the Editor Of the Aleraadria Gazette:
Dear Sir-In Fridays issue OF your
esteemed paper there was a communica-
ton from one, signed Citizen" in ref
erence to the withdrawal of work
tickets from sale at the ticket Offices Of
the railway company. The facts are
as follows: The workman's ticket is
intended for the day laborer. 1t is II
ticket used in many parts OF the
United States with great benefit to the
laboring class; its use is entirely new
in this neighborhood. The workman's
ticket, on account of the reduced rate,
is considered practically special ex-
cursion ticket, and as Citizen" knows,
special excursion tickets with special
rates are as rule issued good for GER
tain trains. The workman's ticket
in consideration OF its reduced
rate is limited to certain trains
in the morning and evening,
which will accommodate the la
borer, in going to and from his work.
The reason of the withdrawal OF work
mans tickets from sale at the ticket Of
fees of this company, is, that certain
parties insisted upon violating the con-
tract with the company as to the use OF
these tickets on certain trains. The
conductor was compelled either to ex-
act a proper ticket, or cash fare, or to
accept the workman's ticket and pay
the difference between the value OF that
ticket and the regular ticket, to the tick
ct receiver. The conductors preferred
not to dispute with those who, from ap
pearances, were endeavoring to violate
their contract with the company, and
preferred the quieter means OF paying
the difference out OF their own pockets.
The company allowed this thing to go on
for some time, hoping that the general
feeling would warrant it in endeavoring
to benefit the laborer by this special
rate. But as time went on those who
desired to force this ticket on other
trains became more numerous, and the
company had no alternative. AS to the
reduction of wages, this reduction is in
conformity with the usual reduction
made each year previously, and, fur
thermore, it was in accord with the ex-
pressed willingness of the employees
before such reduction was made.
Very truly,
g. E. ABBOT,
General Manager

AT LYNN, Mass, labor center,
Yesterday. Rev. Mr.. Casson, having
been melted thereto by the preceding
remarks Of other preachers in respect
OF the issues OF the present political
campaign, said This campaign pre-
SCENTS no sectarian issues. The best
men OF all creeds should unite, for the
aristocrats and apostles have combined.
Archbishop Ireland and the A, z. A.
leaders have shaken hands, Macarthur
and Ingersoll have embraced, Reed and
Cleveland have forgotten the tariff,
Bishop Newman and Breckenridge 60
arm in arm. and Morgan Dix and Herr
Most have smoked the peace pipe. "
His congregation was composed OF
workingmen and their families, all OF
whom seemed to agree with what be
said. When the plutocrats of all creeds
and politics array themselves on one
line, it is only natural that all the poor
people, who are intelligent, unpreju,
diced and unbought, should oppose
them.

The NORWEGIAN, whether he be q
railroad or any ether sort Of employee,
who may allow himself to be gulled by
the assertion that the election Of Bryan
will reduce the value Of the dollars in
which his wages will be paid to fifty
cents, and also that his wages in such
dollars will be cut in half, ought TO
emigrate to Sillyland and wear q
leather medal. Workingmen have
nothing to lose, but may gain something
by the resumption of silver coinage, for
then there will be more money in circu-
lation, and the history of the world
proves that an increase of money al
ways induces an increase of business,
and consequently an increase of indus
try, and revival of industry necessi-
tates an increased demand for labor,
the natural consequence of which is an
enhancement of laborers' wages.

He said that as a comrade in arms 10
Virginia, aud close friend in time OF
peace, he knew well the worth and

His reference to the eminence Mr.. Crisp

FROM THE statement OF the New
York World, q plutocratic organ, that
the sinews of war will be in use until
the close of the polls, aud from the IN
timation of several other anti.Bryan
newspapers, that the announcement OF
the result of the election may be delay
ed for day, if not two, it seems not IN
improbable that the republican trick OF
1854. TO cheat the democrats out OF the
election by changing the returns, may
b. attempted again, and that the use OF
the sinewa of war may be continued
not only until the close OF the polls, but
after they shall be closed. 1t will be
recollected that when Mr.. Cleveland
was first elected, the returns were held
b lck so long by order Of Mr.. Jay Gould
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, for the purpose of having them
altered if possible, that Mr.. German,
then chairman of the national demo
cratic committee, went to him and in a
private interview informed him that
unless the returns were forwarded at
once he stood in great danger OF being
hanged from lamp post and of having
his office mobbed aud looted-st which
the returns were made public at once.

BROTHER AND SISTER MARkIED-Jasper
Ebersault and wife, of Laporie, Ind. have
separated through the medium of divorce
suit brought on unusual grounds. Ii recent
ly developed that they are brother snd sister,
fact of which both were previously ignorant.
Ebersault, then New York travelling sales
man, visited Meetz, little town in Steuben
county. in the fall Of 1913 on business trip.
He met there Mrs J. l.. Caldwell, widow,
and shortly afterwards they were married.
One child was born 10 them. The action for
divorce brought in Stcuben county has un-
folded the strange story OF their separation
and reunion.
The Ebe;sault family became separated in
the early life of the two. Minuie the baby OF
the family, went with a family named Dawson.
and young Ebersault came to believe that she
was dead. Wien she was babe of eleven
months legal action was taken which resulted
in her being christencd with the name OF
Minnie Dawson. aud she grew from childhood
to womanhood ignorant OF her adoption. This
week a relative OF Ebetssult's visited the
couple and revealed the truth Often the
couple spoke OF the strong resemblance they
bore to each other but nothing occurred un-
til this visit to throw light on the relation
