The publishers of the american Agricm-
furist have secured Marshall's new, large
magnificent STEEL PLATE, "THE FARM
ER's Pride" one OF the finest works OF this
great artist. whose pictures of Washington
and Lincoln are Of worldwide reputation.
So fine is this new work that Mr.. Marshall
received $4,000 for engraving the steel
plate alone. 1t was SO highly valued that
thirty good judges subscribed S25 each for
30 copies of the first artist proofs, and no
copy Of the picture can be bought for less
than $500.
But the publishers Of The 1merican Agi-
cslturisf, have just secured the Plate, and
having large facilities for multiplying it,
they propose to presen. this Splendid En-
craving, on fine Plate Paper (22x2S), de-
livered postpaid, to every subscriber tor
volume SO of that Journal, who sends 20
cents extra to cover cost of packing, mail
ing, and postage on the engraving.

JOKE.
[Idahoan.l

Tie scouts in Eastern Oregon one
night saw strange animal standing
~ the doorway Of deserted .holse.
Il was q hideous looking creature. It
was . grotesqno looking creature.
Inc brave scouts cautiously approach
ed and ogled it with shaded eyes and
rom different standpoints. They
brushed up all their natural history
coupled with years Of observation in
the endeavors to make out its species.
All II vain. They then thought they
had discovered the link between the
animal and feathcred tribe. The orea-
ture seemed to have wings and a eau
dal appendage, and was a quadruped,
but void Of eyes. The scouts finally
formed aud charged down upon and
captured it. The strange creature
turned out to be an unfortunate cat
which the Indians, when they raided
the premises, had caught and dipped
IN key Of sprop aud then rolled in
feather bed. The boys say it was
about four feet in diameter, the feath-
ers standing ont in all directions, and
when it bowed its back il looked like
a feather bed turned inside out and
thrown over calf The poor ami
mats mouth was SO glued together
that it couldn't tell what allied it. The
Indians did the trick for a practical
joke. 1t was considerably out of their
hue OF joking, too; for they have gen
orally killed or horribly manned every
living thing that has fallen into their
hands.

The Work Gnmnlnted

The triumph Of the ring eliminated
on Wednesday last, as we predicted,
in the nomination Of George Peter
of Montgomery county, as the Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress in this
district.
1t is sufficient for us in this partic-
ular crisis to know that this nOmina-
ton was dictated by the ring, that
they planned and plotted and set it
up six months ago; and that they
expect to control, manage and use
Mr.. Peter in proping up their waning
power in this section of the State.
We cannot support him because by
so doing we would be contributing
nothing in aid of the cause of Demo
crazy, we would be adding nothing
to the cause of honest government;
we WOulG be doing nothing in aid of
the triumph of Democratic principles;
we would be doing nothing in eX-
piation of the wrongs perpetrated by
the corrupt combination that now
acts for the Democratic party in this
State has usurped all its functions,
and made it a byword and reproach
among all classes Of respectable peo-
pie.
On the contrary we feel it our duty
to combine and conspire with any
party in opposition to the nominee
of this most infamous and ubiquitous
of all combinations. The election of
Mr.. Peter will strengthen the arms
and cement the power of German,
Bannon, Cotton d Co., and that of
itself is sufficient reason why every
honest man should vote against
George Peter Cumberland Democrat.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-09-28

has been, time and again, honored
by the party. AS we say, this is
matter of no earthly consequence and
can be dismissed.
There is, however, in the article in
question a base charge upon Mr..
Urner's integrity, viz that he turned
Republican to catch Republican
practice, there being no Republican
lawyers then at the Frederick bar.
Mr.. Urner read law with Mr.. Eich-
elberger, who was not only Re
publican but lawyer with a large
practice. Mr.. Urner certainly could
not haye expected to compete with
his preceptor, an old lawyer of long
and heavy practice. Besides, at that
day, Frederick county was inclined
to be Den Ocratic, and the fashion
was to go that way. 1t was in later
years, when the colored people were
enfranchised, and Frederick county,
through the Jealous labors of Mr..
Urner and his associates, became Re-
publicanized, that it became prof.
table for Republican young lawyer
to practice at that bar. AT that day
we find that Mr.. Urner had active
competition in his profession from
attorneys in his own party. So that
" would appear there was no mer-
cenary inducement for Mr.. Urner to
change his political views in 1861,
for there was not a great deal of Drac-
tice likely to come to him through
his party, particularly as Mr.. Eich-
elberger was already in the field. If
there was an jnducement later, when
practice became more diffusive, there
was also the the drawback of more
active competition.
There is not Republican in the
district who cannot become thor
oughly satisfied of Mr.. Urner's Re-
publicanism. 1t is not to be honestly
questioned or fairly doubted. And
among those who know him, and
who haye for. years observed his life
passing in the iull scrutiny of the
public eye, there is not man who
will hesitate to say that his political
principles were honestly acquired
and are faithfully and conscientiously
maintained by Mr.. Urner. CuM6.

Plain Words.

Our neighbor of the EUeniJ2g Bull
Ietin has been putting in some good
work this week. In an article en-
titled Crooks Ahead" after warning
the party managers of the dangers
that threaten Democratic supremacy
in this State, it thus happily de-
scribes the political situation in
Maryland:
Externally the attitude of the
party may be one of seeming acqui
estence in whatever the managers
may dictate. Every one knows,
however. that this show of peace is
but hollow truce that at this mo-
ment there are eager aspirants for
the important offices to be filled next
year, for the Governship, the United
States SenatOrship, and in this city
for those fat prizes, the cIerhshipS of
the seUer0I cOurts-distruSting each
other; cordially hating each other !;
cycling suspici0usly and jealousy
each others every move upon the
political checker board ready to fly
at each others Threats, and only pre-
vented from engaging in the veriest
Kilkenny. cats fight inside Of the
party this fall, by the apprehension
of the effect upon their common in
terests next fall. These are plain
truths, unpalatable truths it may be,
but necessary truths to Oe considered
and weighed before it is too late, by
all who have the honor and the in
terests of the Democratic party sin
cereiy at heart"
Everybody knows that this is a
plain statement of facts. AS the
Bulletin says, these may be unpala-
table truths, but they are thruths,
nevertheless, which it would be well
for the party managers to heed.
The great majority of true Demo-
Gratis in Maryland have borne with
much from their leaders that they
would not otherwise have submitted
to, because they preferred even party
despotism to the odiOus embraces of
Radicalism. But patient adherence
to principle will not prevent revolt
against party leaders, and unless the
managers of Democratic politics in
Maryland amend their ways, they
will wake up some fine morning and
find themselves without any follow
ing. - B0LtimOredH DEM

The split in the Democratic party
in, Massachusetts, which has been
made inevitable by the Worcester
convention, should be accepted as a
warning by the Democrats of Mary
land. The party wants its best men
sent to the front, and, if the "man--
ayers" persist in putting forward the,
worst men and the most deserVedly
unpopular ones. because they hap en-
to be their to is, there will either be
a revolt in the party or surrender
Of the party TO the opposition. There
is no other alternative. Fraud cam
not win so long as the Democratic
party of Maryland remains honest,
and when it ceases to be honest it
ceases to control majorities in this
State, where the great bulk of the
people are honest, and cannot be got
to consent to fraud. Bi0tO. Bulletin,

The Southern Democrats give their
best offices this year to the men who
have done the best service in the
Confederate army, and the North
ern Democrats give theirs to those
who have done best service for the
cause by menacing the Union army
in the rear. The Frederick citizen,
leading Democratic paper of this
Congressional district, in speaking Of
their nominee for Congress says;
During the old Wing times Mont
gOmery county gave large majority
for that honored old party; but since
tn : organization of the Known 0th-
ing party old Montgomery has been
true and faithful to the eau e Of Dem
ocracy. She sent more of her gallant
sons to the cause of the South than
any other county in Maryland. Her
people were almost a unit during
those dark days. Her noble women
devoted their lives to the cause their
brave husbands and sons had esp0us-
ed. Ruin, imprisonment and almost
desolatiOn was heaped upon Mont
gomery in consequence Of the open
stand she took for Southern indie
pendence. No one in Montgomery
was more faithful to that Lost
Cause" than our Democratic nomi-
nee.

The AHegd11ida yesterday copied
from the Oakland Democrat vitu.
perative article about Mr.. Urner.
The article contained statement
that in 1860 Mr.. urner, who has for
years been a pronounced Republic
can, was a Breckenridge Democrat.
This is a fact which we suppose no.
body, much less Mr.. Urner, has eyer
sought to deny, and it is really mat
ter of no consequence. Mr.. Urner
subsequently became convinced that
his political principles We're wrongly
founded. and he becamea Union man
and Republican. This was in 1861,
or II years ago. With his friends
and neighbors and party associates
his youthful political tergiversations
have never been regarded as militat-
ing against his Republicanism, as he
