NEWS FROM ALEXANDRIA.

Alexandria. April 29.-The unsettled con-
dition of political affairs has occasioned
considerable gossip. and the city Demo-
cratic committee finds it difficult to adjust
matters. After two recounts in the Third
ward, Messrs. Paff Brill, Smith, and APP
pich have been declared nominated for
the city council, and Messrs. Harrison and
Green, who were candidates in the Third
ward, will probably again enter the con-
test at the general election. In the First
ward Messrs. Snowden, Trimyer, and
Burke were nominated at the recent prim-
airy, and Messrs. Alton Moore and Aitche-
son tied on 191 votes. The Democratic
committee ordered another primary to be
held on Tuesday next to decide the tie be-
tween Messrs. Moore and Aitcheson, but
these gentlemen have expressed themselves
as opposed to another primary, and will al
low their names to be placed on the gen.
eral ticket, so that there will be five can
didates for council in the First ward.
The following paper was presented to the
members of the committee today by the
friends of the two gentlemen named:
ITO the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the City of Alexandria:
Gentlemen: AS we are personal friends
and have been for many years, it is not
our desire nor is it our purpose TO partici-
pate in the primary of May 2, 1899, in
which we will be the only contestants.
We therefore desire TO notify the COM
mittee of our intention TO submit our
names to the people of the First ward in
the general election TO be held on May
%, If satisfactory TO the committee.
Respectfully yours,
at ALTON MOORE,
up. AITCHESON."
To the above the committee made the
following reply:
I'VE. the undersigned, members of the
Democratic committee, hereby express our
willingness to comply with the request of
Messrs. Moore and Aitcheson, and hereby
direct that no primary shall be held.
