The Citizens of Alexandria Severely Criticise the Course Pursued by Mayor Thompson. Evening Star Bureau, No. 121 North Washington st., Alexandria, Va., February 24, 1897. The summary action of Mayor Thompson in the police court yesterday, when Sergt. James T. Smith and Officer William Fergu- son were suspended from the police force for thirty days each, has caused a great stir among Alexandria people. The result Webster was the accused, Sergt. Smith and Officer Ferguson were really on triai. The last words of Officer Ferguson had hardly left his mouth before Mayor Thomp- son announced that the case against Webster was dismissed, and Sergt. Smith and Officer Ferguson were suspended for thirty days each. The commonwealth’s at- torney was not even allowed to sum up the evidence, and no witnesses were put on the stand to refute the testimony offered. While it was predicted in The Star at the time of the recent effective policy raid by Sergt. Smith that that officer would “lose his Lead’ the people generally did not think it would come in such a manner, and on every street corner the matter is being discussed and the mayor harshly criticised. There is a movement on foot by several prominent citizens to take the matter up before the city council, and it is rumored that an effort will be made to impeach the maycr for ‘ncompetency, as, it is alleged, the police affairs have been in a turmoil ever since he has been at the head of the Office. The police commissioners are non-com- mittal in talking of the matter, though it has leaked out that there will be a called meeting of this body as soon as Commis- sioner Tackett returns to the city. Com- missioner Lindsay said: “If the men could be tried on the charge of insubordination why can’t Chief Webster be tried for con- duct unbecoming an officer?” The police force in this city, as has been stated many times in The Star, is in a very much disorganized condition, and prominent citizens on all sides express themselves as being tired of the whole mat- ter, and want it settled if every officer on the force from the mayor down has to be discharged. 4 County Board of Supervisors. A special meeting of the board of super- visors of Alexandria county was held in the county court hovse in this city yester- day. The meeting was called to consider the matter of making an appropriation for cpening a new road for the proposed ex- tension of Prince street to the Leesburg pike, the county court having already erdered the new road to be opened. Col- orel Francis L. Smith and Mr. A. W. Arm- strong appeared before the board as coun- sel for those who desired the new road, and Mr. John M. Johnson for those who op- posed it. After a long session, during which the matter was fully discussed, the beard approved the order of the court and decided that they would make the neces- sary appropriation upon the condition that the city council order the extension of Prince street.

Nominations Mnde by the Michigan Republican Convention. The struggle of the day in the Michigan republican convention at Detroit yesterday came on the nomination of a regent of the university. There were several very warm nominating and seconding speeches. The advocates of the re-election of Regent Bar- bour (gold demccrat) argued that since their candidate last year sacrificed political preferment to follow the banner of McKin- ley, and since: he had rendered distin- guished service to the university, he should be the convention’s choice. They asserted that the republican party, at this time especially, could afford to be generous to a gentleman of undoubted talent who was willing to run upon the St. Louis platform. The other speakers declared that they were sent there as republicans to nominate republicans. They opposed fusion in any form and declared that if patriotism had in the cases of sume democrats, risen above partisanship it was commendable, but that suck virtue should be its own reward. The republican party was not obligated to them. it was asserted that if the new congress did its duty such men would be opposed to its action and six months hence might be fighting republicanism. The candidates named were as follows: Levi L. Barbour, Detroit; E. D. Nelson, Ironwood; Joseph R. McLaughlin, Detroit: James M. Wilkinson, Marquette, and Chas. D, Lawton of Van Buren county. ‘The first vote by counties resulted: Bar- bour, 472; Nelson, 154; McLaughlin, 247; Wilkinson, 13: a choice, 543. The second ballot gave Barbour, 362; Nelson, 70; McLaughlin, 303; V Lawton, 401. The third ballot narrowed the contest to Lawton and McLaughlin, but the former made such gains that all the delegates went over io him, and Lawton was declared the unanimous nominee. Before adjourn- ment resolutions were enthusiastically adopted, thanking President-elect McKin- ley for General Alger's appointment to the cabinet.
