The Coming Campaign.

The Philadelphia Press says: "ln
the Western States the political can
vas is being prosecuted with great
activity. The issues of the day are
discussed in thorough and exhaus-
tive style, with a convincing array
of facts and figures. No time is lost
in defamation. Leading. questions
are grappled with in a mastery
manner, sophistry is exposed, and
history and experience are success
fully appealed to in vindication of
of the policy and course of the Re
publican party. Never were more
important issues at stake. If the
Democratic party gains the ascen-
dency in the next Congress, the con-
sentative legislation which has pre-
pared the way for a return to pros
perity will be set aside, and we shall
enter into new era of uncertainty,
agitation :and trouble. Fernando
Wood will revive his free trade
Tariff bill, fresh onslaughts will be
made on the army and navy, the re-
sumption act be nullified, the ma
tional banks destroyed, illimitable
issues of irredeemable paper money
be authorized, and hundreds of mil
lions be appropriated for the pay
ment of rebel claims. We are now
on the verge of better times. Flat
tering as the outlook is, it will be
blasted by the destructive tendencies
of Democratic Congress.
If the Republicans can hold the
next House of Representatives, the
country may safely rely upon radi-
cal change for the better. If they
are defeated, the nation will be at
the mercy of vampires, of men OF
doubtful loyalty, and of impractical
BILE schemers of all kinds. Every
man who has a personal interest in
the general welfare, should feel that
he has an interest in preventing the
return of such class of men to
power. 1t has taken years to repair
the calamities they inflicted on the
country in the past, and it will re-
quire a long lapse of time to correct
the mischiefs they now propose to
perpetrate.

The Democrats held a mass meet
ing Tuesday night at the Oakland
Hotel, which was addressed by Hon.
J. S. c. Blackburn, of Kentucky, and
Hon. Fred. Nelson, of Frederick
county. But little enthusiasm was
manifested, and but few voters were
present, although large number of
of the citizens of the county were in
Oakland attending court. Mr.. Black
burns reputation as an orator should
have drawn a much larger crowd.
The adjournment of the Congress

The Democratic county convention
of Frederick county was held on
Saturday, and there was a warm
contest between the friends of Mr..
George H. Peters and his opponents.
The city delegation were against Pc
tiers, and those from the county were
in his favor, and, as the latter were
in the majority, they carried the
Convention. There was a great deal
of noise and confusion, and finally
the city delegates refused to vote at
all. A full Peters delegation was
then elected to the Oakland conven-
ton.

Cincinnati. They were all refugees.

and more distressing. Only one city
official is on duty, and the Board of
Health cannot secure quorum.
Men cannot be procured to bury the
dead, burn infected clothing or dis

on Saturday were 95, with 123 new

800 of them have been without food
for whole day on account of the in

kept there by the free rations, though
refusing to attend the sick. A Com

Teachings of the Southern Press.

The action of the Republican con-
vention of South Carolina in deter
mining to concentrate all theirenergy
of the Congressional candidates has
stirred the ire of the chief bulldozers
there. The Charleston NelCs and Cot0-
Ter thus calls the Klans to action
"The Democracy must assume the
defensive at once and give the chief
knaves no quarter. 1t Is the duty of
Democrats to go to Radical meetings
and insist on being heard" The Be

that incites a fight, 50 much The

Harmonious.

The following extracts from the
Herald, of last week, would seem to
indicate a "mixed" state of things
somewhere:
1t is subject of universal congrat-
lation that the Democratic Conven-
ton held in the Court House We'd
nesday last passed off in harmoni-
GUS manner. In fact we may say
that it was the firstsimon pure DEM
ocratic Convention ever held in
Garrett county. The conservative
spirit evinced carried us back to anti
6etL,tm times. when in our own moth
er county it was rule to bury all
personal aspirations and prejudices
for the common veal of the party.

The Republican for the Campaign

We will send THE REPUBLICAN

until the November election, for
twenty-five cents. The money must
accompany the order.
Our Republican friends throughout
the county should aid us in getting a

and Republicans should be posted on
the questions of the day, and they
will be if they read THE REPUBLI-

sympathetic voter to say, "Well, If they
abuse Barlow so, | will vote for him, any

and you will find that the statements oil the
s.. Adams papers are false.
The charges have been made, in reference
to the mail contract business, IN regard to
which Mr. B,rlow paid SO many thousands
to protect his interests, and to the meth
DDS by which he or his friends sought
to pack tie Convention. and to the
- strict morals and blameless life - indi-
Gated by his apparently sincere acceptance
of the result of that Convention and his
promise to make Gen Grout no more trouble,
and then promoting his own nomination by
boiling Republicans, and the infant Green
back PARTY. The above contain the main
charges. A correspondent has charged him
with some ancient naushtiness in reference
to the Franklin County Court House. Beside
the above what has the FREE PRESS done by
way of accusation?
The St. Adams papers boast Of not throw
irs dirt at Gen. Grout Il suppose the brack-
cted charges arc forgotten). The Adrcrt'Ser
refers to scandal circulated in private as
being more effectual, and it is true that
those who visit St. Adams, on business,

scandalous story about Gen. Grout.

by representing the opposition papers as
accusing him Of things they never dreamed

Judgment, or determine the vote Of a sin
gle honest, intelligent freeman. If the
people believe him to be the best man, and
properly nominated, and cannot sec any
thing disreputab.e in his treatment of the

they will vote for him, and leave on record

Four years ago B. b. Smalley was elected
City Representative by 50 majority. Two
years ago the Republicans rallied, put up
one Of their best and most available men in
the person of Judge Wales, and elected him
by 1876 majority in total vote OF 2O35.
This year the pendulum swings back and
Smalley has l54 majority in a total vote OF
$50. The lightness of this total vote is 4
matter of general surprise. 1t shows that
nothing will take the place Of vigorous
canvass of the voters, in this city. The

and that with a full vote the majority fer

Yet, as i. was, Judge Wales was defeated

Indications are that most Of the $50 Repub-
lean votes given to Bradley Barlow, were
also. given to his nephew, Bradley Barlow

is elected, for We do not see how he coud DO

prohibition were simply again-t mans

Mr.. Snal!ey might resign his United

one who cannot be elected. and if Mr.. Small
