Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1876-10-19

The Cumberland News says ohoot-
ing, affair, which is likely to prove ia
tai, occurred at Pekin mine on Monday
night week. All the particulars
we could learn of the affair were that
Andrew Kennedy, Il young man en-
pIoyed in the Pekin mines, was found
lying on the floor Of his boarding
house with q bullet hole in his left
breast Just below the nipple. In his
hand or upon his person was found a
small revolver with q chamber dis,
charged. 1t is known that Kennedy
and the man with whom he boards,
Anthony Strong, together with the
latter's wife, were all drunk, and
that the several brawls had taken
place among them in the course of
the evening, but as Kennedy has not
spoken a word since he was shot 1t is
not known whether he was shot by
his fellow carousers or 10y his own
hand. lie was still alive at last ac-
counts, and no arrests have been mad /.

1t would be the extreme of neglect land
discourtesy were the eastern Democracy,
at the conclusion sof the centennial cam
paign, to fail to recallstheir obligations to
the gallant Democrats of the west.
Everywhere, they have fought the good
fight with stubborn and brilliant courage
that is beyond ali praise. In Ohio it has
been shown that under the most favorable
conditions the Republican majority cannot
exceed per cent of the total vote, and
that at thesnext election the state will
wheel permanently into line sunder the
Democratic flag. Indiana, won in one
great battle, has been held in another, and
there is no longer any doubt as to which
partys candidates will receive her vote
for the next quarter of a century. In
Michigan. the home of Chandler, the day
of As, 900 majorities has passed, and the
Republicans are glad of any majority at all

week after the election, milling in the
balance. IF Wisconsin has given Hayes
any majority at all, it has given him the
smallest of majorities. Even the hopeless

of the Democratic party, have done a

EsRFnal.'s Last Speech.

Col. Lamar made another great
speech in Congress on the ID inst, re-
garding the South and Southern affairs.
He ridiculed the idea that the South
was DESTROYS of obtaining control of the
Republic, and said our people would be
content to withdraw from participation
in the Presidential election if they
could do so, and let the people of the
North elect a President, but they could
not impose on themselves a stolid mae
tivity. All that they wanted in uniting
with the Democratic party was, not to
rule Cabinets, not to dictate policy, not
to control the interests of the country,
but they wanted a representative share
of the responsibilities and benefits of q
common government according to the
measure of their population and race.
They were now cooperating with the
Democratic party only in hope of get
ting an administration that would not
be unfriendly to them-that would not
feel itself commissioned to execute re-
sentiment and oppression upon them.
They wanted to get an administration
which, in place of the forces of con
quest, subjugation and domination,
would give them amnesty and restora-
ton to the privileges of American citi-
zenship-an administration that wonld
allow their States the same rights as
other States, which would allow them
equality of consideration, equality OF
authority, jurisdiction over their own
affairs, exemptions from the domination
of election by bavonets, that would give
them local self government, and then
the country would at last see the dawn
of prosperity in all the industrial enter
prises of the North. 1t would see q
real Southern renaissance, a real grand
reconstruction of the South. 1t would
see her rising from her confusion and
distress, rejoicing in her newly, acquir>
ed liberty-free, great, prosperous.

Needs No indie ton.

After signing q report vindicating
Hon. Proctor Knott of suppressing the
Caldwell Blaine dispatch. the Repnb-
lican members of the committee acted
basely in Withdrawing their names
from the report after hearing Mr..
Knott denounce the notorious Blaine.
If they believed at the time of signing
the report that Mr.. Knott was innocent
of the charges, his speech should have
had no effect upon them. If innocent
before making the speech, he was inao-
cent after making it. But Mr.. Knott
needs no viudication. His people are
satisfied with his action, and their opin-
ION is worth considerably more than the
signatures of four or five base Repub-
licans. No, Mr.. Knott needs no yindi'
cation.

The Scott County Democrat thus re-
fers to the action of the colored Democ-
racy of that region:
The colored Democratic barbecue at
this place last Friday was largely at
tended, and everything passed OFT quiet,
w and harmoniously. The colored
people of our neighborhood are almost
a unit on Democracy, and, if we are TO
judge from the speeches of several OF
that occasion, are as jealous as the
whites for reform and q change OF adj
ministration.
We are glad to know that some Of
the colored people have discovered

In every county the Democratic hosts

Esla Nf alsG EIGiClES.

Our Washington correspondent tells
how the Radicals propose to elect Hayes
and Wheeler. He says the Republic
can campaign managers are determined
to bring about a reign of terror in the
South during the coming campaign.
The Chambers, Chamberlains, Keiloggs
and Spencers have determined that
there shall be no peace this fall, and are
now laying their plans to promote riot,
bloodshed and disorder in at least foul
or five States, if not all over the South.
They are doing it for two purposes,
First, because it will have a damaging
effect upon public opinion in the North
and West, but more especially in the
East; second, because it will afford q
pretext for employing the military, and
third, because it may be the means OF
throwing-out the votes of several of the
Southern States and thereby deciding
the election in their favor.
1t is in- evidence before more than
one investigating committee of Congress
that the agents of these men have plan
ned murder and assassination in pre-
vious campaigns, and it is certain that
what they have done they will attempt
to do again. There is a we'll grounded
apprehension Ill DemocraJ1c circles IL
Washington that the Republican party
South, acting under instructions from
Chandler and his campaign committee,
will this year exceed in crimes and law
lessness anything it has attempted in
the past. They understand fully that
if there is peace and quiet in the South
for the next four or five months there
is no way to saw the party from de
feat in November. Their policy, there
fore, is to stir up the Northern mind by
reported assassinations and murders Of
negroes in the South.

Though most of III space is this week
occupied by the letters of Gov. Tilder
and Gov. Hendricks, we do not fee
that any excuse is necessary. The let,
ters are statesman = like papers and
should De carefully read. Unlike Hayes
and Wheeler our candidates have shown
they gre not afraid to discuss the uues.
tions agitating the public mind. They
meet the questions boldly and place
themselves squarely on the National
Democratic platform. Do not allow
the length of the letters to deter you
from reading them. They are sound
papers, and should be carefully studied
by our people. Breathing naught but
pure Democracy, they will receive g
hearty endorsement by all lovers OF
good government.
The motto now is Tilden, Hendricks
and Reform. Push on the column, fol
a glorious, grand and great victory
awaits us.
With such men as Tilden and Hen,
