REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING LAST EVEN
ING.-The Republican meeting last night
was not all that was desired by the party.
/ The cold weather and the nor. arrival of MIR.
Lowndes and Major Torbert were unfavor-
able to the full success of the demonstra-
| ton
! However, two speakers We're upon the
ground-Col. H. j. johnson, editor of the
/ Cumberland Daily Neaes and Hon. J. b.
Pugh, of Cecil county, and Chairman of
the State Republican Executive Com
mittee.
The meeting assembled in front of the
portico of Peter Payne's residence and was
called to order by Mr. c. H. Walker, who
also announced the following officers for
the occasion.
! Prta!dent-W H. Evans.
Tice Presdents-R. r. Sanner, N. S.
Frost, L. NJ. Gorsuch, George Hosken, r.
w. Mason and c. NJ. McCulloh.
STANDARDIZATION Armstrong.
The organization perfected, Col. johnson
was introduced. He apoligized for the alb
sence of Messrs Lowndes and Torbert
These gentlemen, owing to the grand sue
cess of the meeting in Grantsvile, were I'M
able to get away from there until late
hour. They are now on their way; if they
arrive in time they will certainly speak.
He had been over great portion of the
District and had met with encouraging
prospects everywhere, and confidently be-
lieved our true and tried representative
would be returned to Congress.
Mr.. Pugh spoke over an hour, reviewing
tariff history. He cited numerous facts in
support of systematic protection, and con-
trasted the operations and results of free
trade in those countries where it existed.
The Republican party is protective and
national; the Democratic party is free
trade in one section, tariff in another; in
tiation there, hard money here-everything
to suit diversity of locality. He arraigncd
that party for mismanagement of State and
local affairs; charged it with imposing high
county taxation for purposes which were
not effected. He appealed to the voters
for careful study of the suggestions he had
made believing they would result profit
ably If so, he knew they would do their
duty and sustain Mr.. Lowndes and the
party he represents.
Since the above was put in type we learn
that Mcssrs Lowdes, Torbcrt and Conrad,
left Grantsville at G.3j, p. NJ, and would
have reached here in ample time to partici-
pate in the meeting but for the breaking
down of their carriage when only one mile
out of Grantsville
