CENTENNIAL REcoRD.-Despite the
best determinations we sometimes fail.
We formed purpose some time ago
to record the visitations to the Inter-
national Exhibition from the coal
region as far as we could hear, and to
do so promptly. Last week, however,
We forgot to note the return Of Mr..
and Mrs. j. D. Armstrong-an omis-
sion more important than usual be-
cause their report was the first verbal
one given Our people. They say the
Exhibition surpasses any and all pre-
conceived notions, both in extent and
variety of display, and that it must
be seen to be duly appreciated. They
were strongly impressed with the sys-
tenn and order maintained, which are
so perfect that visitors have all oppor-
tunity for timely and comfortable
sightseeing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Meshach Frost, who
made visit the occasion of their bri-
dial tour, also returned last week.
On Monday last DR.. ]. M. Porter
and his daughter, Miss Noonie, of
Frostburg, and DR.. G. E. Porter and

coming, left for the Exhibition. Their
tour Will include a visit to New York.

lived and died before mere partisan
politics gained possession of the pub
lie mind. He united all parties to a
large degree, still he had political enc
mics, and perhaps some few personal
ones.
No man in Frederick county oppos-
ed his advancement to the Generalship
of the Revolutionary Army in l776,
and no one in this county opposed
his election tothe Presidency in 1888
Or 1892. The vote, according to all
traditionary reports, was unanimous.
Gov. Thomas johnson was unani-
anously chosen Governor of Maryland
in l776-the first Republican Govern
or elected by the Legislature. His
successor, Thomas Sim Lee, was also
chosen Governor by unanimous vote
in Ireland in 1894 was again chos-
en- for the second time. Washington,
johnson and Lee, in their day, were
all we'll known in Maryland, and fav-
orites in Frederick county, had the
unanimous support of our people.
The same cannot be said of Adams
or Jefferson, or Carroll, or Chase, or
any other of the Presidential or Cub
irrational aspirants.
Washington, johnson and Lee uni.
ted all hearts-and their names will
be forever held in grateful remember.

spective towns to take such action in relation to

expedient
Tho ratio of representation of delegates was
fixed as follows: Two delegates at large from

gate from each ward for every $50 votes aud

priotors and occupants Of the building in which
the polls were. After the tickets were all count.
cd, the front doors were opened, and saVeral
who had waited outside were admitted. The
result vas announced to them. Demling had
50 majority and HousoTorth 81. Iheg lmme-
diately said something was wrong about the
voto for Aldermen. The canvass showed that
3l7 men had voted and that only 223 OF them
was apparent. The official canvass was made
on Thursday following, aud one OF the Judges 5e
at the Sixth Ward polls applied to the City
Clerk and Mayor to recount the tickets IN oroef
to set at rest tho talk that Was gong
on about fraud. This Was done, md duflnS
tile proeress of the count we'll known citlzens
ca,ne in apd asked to look at their tickets. ldeh-
tifyiug them, and it WAS discovered IN many In
stances that the namos Of Aldermen hao oeen
erased with light pencil marks, dlner1ne iro1E
any other marks upon the ticket, or nau oeeu
torn off, Tickets thus mutilated were lnvar1a-
blv Smith and Spencer tickets, and there we're
aeyenty-hve Of them. On la6t Saturday Adam
GroeltZ, ono OF tile Judges at that poll. was ar-
rested charged with changing the tickets. ~! IL
WAS in evidence On tho examination that Groeltz
sat at tho window during the day and received
tho tickets aud put them in the box; that he sat
at the boz during tho count, took the TICKETS OUT,
and handed thom to another Judge to read that
no one in the room was in position to look Of
ter lin conveniently il they had thought neces-
sary to do go; that these peculiar marks on tho
tickets commenced to appear about IN hour az
ter the counting commenced; that they we're OF
served after somo time and commented on, and
that after remaras had been made about them
they ceased to appear that Groeltz took broom
after they got through, and swept up around the
tablo. Ho was held to bail in the SUM OF
$500, and gave boud to appear At the May term
OF the District Court. Tho penalty for the Of
Tense is fine not exceeding 81, 900 and impris-
onment in the County jail not exceeding one
year. The theory Of the prosecution ls. that
Grooltz had short pencil hidden III his hand,
and marked the tickets on his knee or in his
hand. 1t is now said that tho same thing Was
done last year in that ward, and that G1oeltz
was judge of election then, aud untoldoa the
tickets. as he did this year. What the hidden
motive for such an net could have been only
family appears. It does seem now that since
election Groetx has been working to secure the
appointment from the now Council as Street
Commissioner. There will be naw election
ordered for Alderneu in tho Sixth Ward.
