ACCIDENT, Md, Sept. Is, 1878.
ED. REPUBLICAN: THE session of
the Normal School established here
by Mr.. Asa f. Speicher is rapidly
drawing to close, and the pleasant
relations existing between teacher
and pupil must soon be interrupted.
That the school has been an entire
success need hardly be mentioned as
the name of the teacher alone is suf-
ficient guarantee to establish that as
a foregOne CONCLUSION. The students.
than whom Il more excellent set of
young ladies and gentlemen were
never brought together within the
confines of Garrett county, have all
by their excellent department in and
opt of school, endeared themselves
to the order-lOving citizens of Acct
dent. 1t need hardly be said that
the citizens of Accident generally
felt a personal interest in the school
from the first. They felt that it was
a matter in which the reputation of
the tOWL was at stake and therefore
the realization of such marked sue.
cess was gratifying in the extreme.
Be it said of the citizens of Accident,
en- PEASANT, that they opened their
doors and reduced the price of board
as generally paid, and made the ex-
pense of attending the school merely
nominal, without making any invid-
iouS distinctions we must conclude
that, all things considered, convent
ent location, daily and tri-Weekly
mails and pleasant surroundings, Ac-
cident can compete with any place in
the county as point not only for
Normal School, but as the most de-
sirable location for high school.
Board at the hotel has been S2.25
and 1.50, and at private houses still
lower. Quite anumber by returning
to their homes on Friday evening re-
duce the expense to less than S1.5O.
The Normal is composed princi-
pally of advanced scholars and teach
erS. This district furnishes the larg-
est quota, seventeen out of the thirty
nine. The other districts represented
are Selbysport, Sang Run, Frostburg,
Bloomington ana Grantsville.
The names of those attending are
as follows: Jno. Steele, George Dun
ham, John McMillen, p A. Mich
ael, Z. Boyer, NJ. NJ. Shrock, John
Beeghly, Francis E. Speicher, P. F.
Michaels, Dave A. Turney, James
Beeghly, w. w. Schlossnagle, f. NJ.
Conway, Gus. Garringer, Charles A.
Murphy, S. P. Specht, Horace r.
Dewitt and Henry Casey. The la
dies. Hattie Beachy, Jennie Miller.
Allie Swalp, Eta Hinebaugh, EN-
ma NJ. Miller, Rose McMillen, Mary
Weller, Ella Lininger, Emma De-
Witt, Lizzie Kahl and Katie Casey.
The majority propose to be eXamin-
ed for teachers we wish them all
complete success. Mr.. Speicher, the
teacher, will as soon as the school
closes, start for Philadelphia to at
tend medical lectures at the venera-
BILE University of Pennsylvania. The
good wishes of his many friends will
accompany him. We feel assured
that in his chosen profession he will
meet with that success which his
many excellent qualities merit.
1t would be pleasant indeed to
reckon among the possibilities of the
future a Normal at Accident COM
posed of as excellent material as the
present one. We again wish them
all success.

LORD BEACoNSEIELD delivered, in
the House of Lords last week a speech
in which he reviewed at length the work
Of the Congress. He showed that by the
treaty of Berlin the menace to the indie
pendence of Europe had been removed
and the threatened injury to the interests
of England terminated. During the de.
livery of his address it was evident his
sympathies were with Turkey, and he
considered it great victory that the Sui

possessions. He touched very lightly on
the shabby treatment Russia received in
having realized but little fruit, compare.

A. McGregor returns thanks to the del
eoates in the Democratic Congressional
Convention, held at Massillon last Thurs
day, who faithfully supported him
while he remained candidate. 1t is
also gratifying to him, as he is confident
It must be to those delegates, to know
that in their support they but carried
out the verdict of the Democracy Of Stark
county, as expressed at our primary
meetings, held on the 10Th Of June last
Democracy is government by the people,
for the people. "All governments de-
rive their just rights from the consent Of
the governed" Hence a fundamental
principle of the Democratic party is
"absolute acquiescenCe in the decisions
of the majority, the vital principle ol
republics, from which is no appeal but
to force, the vital principle and immedi'
ate parent of despotism."
He also cordially thanks his delegate
friends of Stark for their prompt support
when he requested, of the gallant Gen
Wiley, on the l42d ballot, and thus closed
the long and wearisome struggle. 1t is
gratifying that in our candidate we have
the gallant soldier, the unfaltering Dem
oCrat, the capable man and worthy citizen
in fact man every way worthy of our
support, and when elected, eminently
qualified to represent, Creditably, the
district in Congress.
Believing that the best nomination
possible for the good of the cause was
made in the selection of Gen. Wiley, we
urge upon the friends to bear in mind
the Importance of his triumphant elec'
ton. Let us, Democrats ofStark, do our
full share,

THE Atlantic Constitution, speaking
Of the present condition of the colored
race in Georgia, says: "Their average
prosperity is quite equal to that of the
whites, and the majority of them are as
thrifty. All signs Of the bitterness sown
between the races has passed away, and
the negro now goes to the polls, and
votes, if he votes at all, with an eye to
the material results to be brought about,
and without let or hindrance from any
quarter" The idea that the negro race
is decreasing in Georgia is also denied.
The blacks are better cared for there and
more prosperous than they are in other
Southern States. They we're less demor>
allied by the war.

THE Congressional Convention is now
being held in the 10th district, composed
of Ashland, Wayne, Stark and Portage
counties. There is at least one, and from
some of the counties, two candidates.
Eshelman of Wayne, and McGregor of
Stark, seem to be the favorites, but the
latter having an opponent from his own
county, bitter fight has sprung up be-
tween them, which will probably leave
Stark out in the cold. A county to se-
cure respect and support from the out
side, should concentrate upon one candi-
date. Although this will not always car
ry the day, it certainly will give them a
much better chance than to show a divi.
ded front. A dispatch to the Cincinnati
Enquirer indicates that Eshelman, of
Wayne, is the coming man in the 10th
district. But the ways of Democratic
nominating conventions are past finding
out, and as the nomination will likely be
made to day, it is useless to speculate on
the result Columbus Dispatch, 18th.

If Columbus had kept Mr.. Howells, the
Treasurer of State, there, attending to

shouting for Gen. Wiley.

The Democratic Convention of last
week left Mr.. McGregor in a very happy
mood-s state not always felt by de-
feated candidate. He says he thinks
Gen. Wiley very strong man; in fact a
stronger man than himself, or any other
of the candidates. He told your corre-
spondent he had no hopes of getting the
nomination; he only entered the contest,
as he says, to have something to say as
to who the choice should be. He is a
truly happy man who has learned to ad-
apt himself 20 circumstances. s.-CdntOn

THE cotton crop this year is estimated
at 4,7oo, 900 bales, or the largest since
the war. The largest crops heretofore
have been; I859.'6o, 4.86I 900 bales ;
1901, 4,437,ooo bales; 1886,
4,632,ooo bales I876~'77, 4,474, 900 bales.
There will be no excessive supply from
the increased yield as the growth of cots
ton in other countries has diminished.
We have nearly monopoly of the sta
pie. Besides, in spite of the dull times,
the consumption of cotton has been
maintained, and that of American cot
ton increased. Still the large crop esti-
mated for this year is not assured, as
danger from heavy rains or an early
frost will not be wholly past until the
first of November.

so taking advantage Of this time for vis>
iting Colorado. The arrivals at Denver
number from seventy,hv to one hun
dred per day, The Government signal
officers stationed at Denver, think that
the Garden of the Gods, seventy five
miles south of Denver, and Castle Rock,
on the Denver and Rio Grande railroad,
will be the best points in Colorado for
viewing the eclipse, as they are nearest
the center of totality. The eclipse, as
seen from Denver, commences at 2:I6
totality begins at $3.50 and lasts three
minutes. The eclipse will end at 4;3I,
This is by Denver time, which is nearly

for fair day at Denver are sixty out of
