A little son of William Mackey of the
same family above alluded to, had severe
fall last week from a tree in the yard
which he was climbing. He fell upon pale

fatal. The child is reported convalescent.
Brick Pomeroy, of La Cross Democrat

good in everything;;" and this blanket is
probably large enough to cover Brick too.

Heavy Rains.-There was very heavy
rainfall, on Wednesday last, in the middle
section of the county, extending from be-
low North East through Mechanics Valley,
Zion, Fair Hill, and crossing Pennsylvania
Mr.. Duyckinck was overtaken by the
shower about Mechanics Valley on his way
to Elkton, and represents it as something
akin to water spout. The Big Elk creek
rose three feet almost instantly. At West
amwell rolling mill the water was SO high
as to back up the tail race and prevent the
mill from running. We have had sue
cession of showers all week, generally very
heavy and but short intervals between them.
Wet August is paying the debts of dry
May with abundant interest.

LET IT BE DONE.

The Republican party of the State and
county has great opportunities before it,
which can only be turned against it by its
own folly. Democratic ring rule and shame
full mismanagemcnth have brought the people
to a crisis which they are willing to turn
against the party that has shown itself so
grossly incapable of controlling public
affairs to the general welfare. They see
that the rule of ring in Baltimore city is su
preme. 1t has dictated the State ticket
from beginning to end. 1t has carried out
that dictation in spite of the protests of the
better intellects and hearts of the party.
Its will has proved omnipotent over the
voice and wish of the people. What it
could not accomplish in the city it has
accomplished in the counties. In the city
the tactics Of fraud and violence with a
little money at the primaries did the bust
ness there. Outside of the city money
flowed more freely prehaps. Political pro-
misses and appointments were used extern
sively. We have heard that there are ap-
pointees drawing salaries from the Cheasa-
peake and Ohio Canal who have never seen
it. Where money and political appoint
ments and promises could not avail, the
people were hoodwinked and sold out of
their choice for the Chief Executive officers
of the State by setting up some one else
than Carroll or Hamilton-for there was
no contest except for these mentor one
of the three officers for which nominations
were to be made. In this way county
was carried for Groome for Governor, for
some one else for Comptroller, or some one
else for Attorney General, ostensibly, but
in reality for Carroll. When the contest
came to its crisis Groome dropped out OF
the way and there was no name put before
the convention for Comptroller but the
man who begged two years ago to be al
lowed to 60 home to make some money for
the support of his family. Everybody who
voted for Groome in primaries and county
convention no doubt were delighted to pay
him that marked compliment. But what
is their surprise when they find that they
have only been used in this way in order
that their votes and influence and support
may be eventually turned over to Carroll p
Would not most of them have gone for
Hamilton if they had not been cheated out
of their choice by this political device?
The honest Democrats are getting quite
tired of being thus used to destroy their
party and perpetuate ring rule. The Re-
publicans' opportunity is in nominating un-
erceptionabe men, who are active and
energetic. 1t is the duty of every man
demanded by the occasion to make the sac
rifice of serving upon the ticket. The
complaint in some counties is that the best
men of the party cannot be induced to
serve. We are glad to assert that this is
not true of Baltimore county. 1t is assert
ed that many of the best soldiers are obtain.
ed by draft. Let no man called for by
the people be excused. The times demand
change. The people are praying for it.
Let the Republican party do its duty by
putting it's best men in line. The people
will take care of the rest.

him, and it was held up as the duty of
every honest man TO vote accordingly.
Now il appears that these charges were
wholly without foundation. Govern

incorruptible statesman, but one of
the best Governors that Pennsylvania
ever had. The Philadelpha Press
