BOWDOIN'S
POSITION
Issues Statement in Regard to
Allegations Concerning
?.'"'? ' Him,
NEVER SHOWED ANY LETTER
Op pascer Ali?. Matthews, But Did
so as Individual?Started lie
fore Present Administration.
Hi?. J. W. Bowdoln, of Accollino, chiilr
tiio.irof tho Stalo Board of Fisheries, nnd
chairman of tho Democrnllo CohinilUco
of his county, whoso name, has boon
brought into controversy <by tho recent
Htntomont of Senntor Btuksdnlr?, alleging
undue activity against the return of Hon.
S, WllkliiB Matthews to tho Housb, was
In tho city yesterday, und gavo out the
following signed Interview' on Ilio sub?
ject:
Tho slaloment to the Sonata of Vir?
ginia; riH published in t.o-tlny's issue of
Tho Tlmes-Dlspatch, in regard to my ?c
Uo ?'linci position In tho contest, for the
nomination for member of tho Houso
from Accomac county, In the lost legis?
lativo primary Is erroneous and un?
true in tho following Instances:
'?]. I did not use'my -Influence either
ns "chairman of thu Board Of" Flshorles
or ns chairman of the Democratic, party
In Accolline county to defeat Mr. Mat- ;
thews."
SIIOWF.D ?O LETTER.
2. J did not. show Mr. Matthews a letter
from Governor Montague alleging that
Mr. Matthews had polled tho .Legislature
as between Governor Montague nnd Sen?
ator Martin; nor have I over shown Mr.
Matthews any letter over received by mo
from Governor Montague, in fact, 1
never received such a lettor.
I diri ?stato to Mr. Matthews that'
1 I hnd heard that lie did so poll the Legis?
lature, and ori his demand for my au?
thority, I stated that Governor Montague
told me so, whereupon Mr. Matthews
admitted that he had done so. but said
It was done In a "spirit of fun," und that
It had "no significance."
Tt is true that I did vote and work for
tho defeat of Mr. .Matthews, but did so
only after notifying him In persons that
I should oppose him and do what I could
In an open, honorable way, to defeat
him, My opposition to him commenced
moro than six years ago, and had he
been Governor Montague's best friend. I
could not have supported him. My op?
position to Mr. Matthews was purely In
my personal capacity as a citizen, and
voter of Accomac county, nnd not as
chairman of tho Board of Fisheries .or
as county chairman.
INDIVIDUAL POSITION.
The Board of Fisheries had no connoo
lion nor did It have anything tu do with
this contest: nor was any of its machin?
ery called Into opposition to Mr. Mat?
thews; nor was the machinery of the
County Committee so used. Tho fact Is.
a majority of the. County Committeo were
supporters of Mr. Matthews; nor did
Governor Montague have anything to do
With that fight.
Any statement that partisan politics
havo been practiced by the State Board
of Fisheries at any time or in any way,
is untrue.
Sly personal vote has always been
open, ami my position pronounced In all
political contests In Accontile county, for
the last tv/enty years, nnd I have always
been both open and activo In support of
my friends and in opposition to my ene.
mies, and this line of conduct was cer?
tainly not departed from In tho last legis?
lative contest.
WAS.NOT INFLUENCED;
I have never allowed, nnd llover will
allow, tho aceptauee. of any office or po?
sition, to control or hamper ma in the.
free exercise of my vole and influence In
any political matter or contest, which
may arise in my county,
1 can only add that in tho efforts to
prejudice and-injure ine, my associates
on the Board of Fisheries and tho Gov?
ernor, have been ruado, to appear In a
disagreeable and false position, without
excuse or warrant for doing so.

AT THE ACADEMY.
The dramatization of "David Harum,"
which has been finding so much favor,
and which Is to be seen ut tho Academy
Christmas Day, Is said to ho very clever?
ly arranged. Of course, Hurutn la tho
central figuro and around him aie
grouped all the characters of t.ho book.
Thoro is otd Aunt Polly. Pretty Mary
Blake, the Widow Cullom, and John
Lenox, who is the cashier of Harum's
bank. Then Utero is Dick Barri bee, pert
Cheti Tlmson, the miserable old usurer,
'Sicko awlimey; the sanctimonious, yet
wiliiiil, horse-loving?. Deacon Perltlns, and
Amos Elrlght, the landlord ot the Baglc
'l'averti, with his boast that his Is tho
only Oiotol at which they give five kinds
of pio for breakfast. General Wolsoy
moves through Iho play, and so does the
village tough, Bill Montalg, and Poleg
Hopkins, the small boy at tho bank. The
character sketches are all capitally
drawn and equally well portrayed, and
to play promises to win oven moro suc?
cess than did the book. It has much to
commend It, inasmuch ns it is clean and
wholesome, tolls a most Interesting story,
Is repleto with bright lines nnd quaint
sayings, nnd has a delightful and re-,
freshing atmosphere.
