The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-09-29
Orr Candidate for Comptrosler.

We place at the head of our COL
umns to-day the name of DIR. G. Ellis
Porter, of Allegany county, as the
candidate of the Republican party
for Comptroller of Maryland. DIR.
Porter is we'll and favorably known
throughout Western Maryland as a
staunch and unflinching supporter of
the principles of the Republican par
ty, and also as one of the most dis
Greet business men in the State. For
this important position the conven-
ton could not have found one more
suitable, nor do we think that the
people could do better than elevate
him to the position for which he has
been nominated. Men like DIR. Por-
ter seldom permit their names to be
used by their friends, except when it
is absolutely necessary that change
should be made in State officers.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-09-29
DR.. G. E. Porter, the Republican

DR.. g. E. Porter, the Republican
candidate for Comptroller, is a native
Of Allegany county, Nd, having
been born in that country In the year
1880, and is consequently at present,
n his forty-seventh year. In 1858
he graduated at Jefferson Medical
College, Philadelphia, since which
time he has practiced medicine in
Allegany, building up by his skill
and attention a very lucrative
practice. During the war he served
with distinction as. Major of the
Second Maryland Infantry, and was
greatly esteemed and beloved by the
command to which he was attached.
He was a member of the State Legis-
lature in 1872, receiving the largest
Republican vote ever cats in ALLIE
gany county, and was the unanimous
choice of the Republican members
of the House for Speaker. He served
with distinction on various impor-
tant committees, and gave very
substantial evidence of his al ility
and usefulness. DR.. Porter is Re-
publican Of strong and decided con-
yictions,, and whilst his chances for
election are not as promising as we
would desire, yet the high esteem in
which he is held by his fellow Re-
publicans throughout the State is
very clearly shown by the unanimity
with which they rendered him the
nomination, which is in itselfa COM
pliment not to be ignored and de-
spised. ...
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-09-29

possessed to an eminent degree those
qualities which would enable him
to preform the duties of Comptroller.
Nothing had been done so bungling-
ly in Maryland as things relating to
taxation. DIR. Porter possessed the
ability to devise vastly improved
system of taxation, which would
he much more equitable in its opera
lions than the one at present in
operation. Baltimore city cordially
endorsed the nomination of DIR. Por-
ter, and asked that it be made
unanimous by reclamation.
III. j. johnson, of Allegany, thank
ed the Convention for the honor about
to be conferred on one of Allegany's
citizens.
On the vote being taken the nomi-
nation of DR.. Porter was made unani-
mously.
On motion, the Chair appointed
f. M. Hoffman, Judge Douglass,
VIM. Moody, Jno. Woodall and
Sam'l Mallalieu as a committee to
notify DR.. Porter of his nomination.
The Convention then, on motion OF
Mr.. R. Stockett Mathews adjourned

Register /!

-.
Republicans should not fail to re-
member that the Registers will be in
session but two days yet previous to
the next election. Their next sitting
will occur on Monday and Tuesday,
the LIST and End of October for the reg
istration ofsuch persons as are quail
lfied to become voters, and. ALSO for
the correction of the lists. It is
hoped no Republican entitled to it's
provisions, who has as yet failed to
comply with the requirements of the
law will SO far forget his duty as to
neglect this important matter. Our
friends in the various districts should
see to it that no Republican forfeits
his vote on election day by falling to
register next Monday and Tuesday.
This is a very important matter and
cannot be too carefully attended to.

The President, in his speeches at
different points, drops many a whole
some suggestion. At Nashville, in
speaking of the Importance of imni-
grafton to the South and the attrac-
tons of that section for enterprising
young men, he said that the most
effective way to bring the best class
of immigrants there was to plant a
school house on the shady side of
every hill, and have good teacher
in it nine months in the year. That
would be a better advertisement of
the country than could be obtained
at the same cost in any other way.
There is no doubt about it, what
ever.

A fellow-student of the distinguished
Boston clergymen, Cook and Murray, saws
that when they were in Yale together they
both stood low in scholarship. Murray
graduating about the middle of his class.
and Cook occupying about the same rela.
tive position as long as he remained in the
college. They were both good debaters.
Murray carrying his determination to speak
on every occasion to such a degree that he
frequently "bored" his classmates. They
were both good writer's and frequently
competed for prizes. Murray was the more
finished speaker, Cook the more forciblp.
They were both longwinded, and neither
methodical in the arrangement of a sub.
iect. Murray played upon the surface and
Cook often got lost in graphing with the
kernel Of a question. Neither had an
adequate idea of mathematics beyond
algebra. We have seen Cook, when called

The country papers in South Carolina
are, with one consent, demanding the re-
establishment of the whipping-post. The
argument is that larceny, highway robbery
and burglary have become so common i'm
all parts Of the State that no mans property
is safe. The chickens in the coop, the
corn in the field, the very clothes that a
man pulls off at night in the expectation Of
putting them on again in the morning. be.
come alike the prey of the midnight PROV.
lers; and the cry comes up from all quar-
ters: "Give us what Virginia and Delaware
already have-the whipping-pOst" 1t is a
popular theory in South Carolina that it is
utterly impossible for a negro to be honest,
and the whipping post, if introduced, will
he used exclusively as an instrument for
lntimidating and furnishing the blacks. 1t
is easy to forecast the results of such an ex.
pertinent in State where the color and
race lines are so sharply drawn. The
whipping'post would open the way for
merclless system of repression and cruelty.
10 Its credit be it said that the Charleston
NewS and Courier does not advocate so
extreme measure. 1t insists that the
same ends can be better accomplished by
other means, which will not be open in the
same objections. 1t argues that labor is
more distasteful to the criminal than the
lash, and that he will prefer a whipping to
a place in the chain gang.-N. \. Tribune.
