The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-10-05
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

The Republican Convention Of the
Sixth Congressional District pursu-
ant to call met on the 18th instant at
Rock willie, Montgomery county, with
full delegations from each of the re-
spective counties, and on the second
ballot nominated Milton G. Uuner,
ESQ.,, of Frederick county.
Mr.. Urner, who is rising forty years
of age was born and reared ii. Fred
erjck county, is one of an extensive
and influential family and has by
dint OF personal effort raised himself
to his present prominent position in
the councils of his party. He is a
lawyer by profession and in point Of
ability ranks high among the mem
ber5 OF the Frederick Bar, his prac-
tice being among the most lucrative
in that place. In 1871, he was elect
ed Prosecuting Attorney. He dis
charged the duties pertaing to that
responsible position with zeal and
ability and to the entire satisfaction
Of the people. In 1876, he was made
an Elector-at- Large on the Hayes
and Wheeler ticket. Though the
honors of Delegate and Senator in
the Maryland Legislature have been
pressed upon him, he has steadily re
fused them owing to his large and
lucrative practice. He Is Il ready
and effective speaker, and when the
time comes we have no doubt Will
n lNI IN
among the people of this county.
The action Of the Convention pledg-
es the Republican party to an entlru-
siastic support Of its nominee, a gen
tleman of whom they NAV well be
proud, and who, if elected to the
highly responsible position for which
he has received the nomination, will
reflect honor upon his large, wealthy
and intelligent constituency. Wash
ington county gave Little Mac"
nearly one hundred majority, and let
it be the laudable ambition of each
Republican voter to achieve the same
splendid result or even better one
in favor of Milton G. Urner.
The Republican party has before it
a task of no small magnitude in sup
porting those great principles Of hon
esty which lie at the foundation of
all good and staple governments. 1t
has fairly redeemed the public credit
in The face Of continued opposition,
and now in these dangerous times
when even strong men WAIVER and
bend to the Greenback delusion, it
behOOYeS every earnest, tried and
true Republican to stand by his col
ors. The etferveSence of the advO-
Gates of irredeemable paper money,
like all other shallow and evanescent
agltatiOnS, will spend and exhaust it
self upon the rock of national integ-
rity and honesty. Time, that great
gauger of all human enterprises will
test and show the StupendOus folly of
fiat paper money. Let us, if neees-
s9ry, nail our colors to the mast-head
so that if, for time we go down be-
fore the storm of deIuSion, it will be
said OF us, that we sunk with our
streamer floating in the breeze. But
we shall not go down. We have an
abiding faith in the capacity of the
American voter, Our principles
champion the fullest, fairrst and fire.
est discussion. From now until the
second Tuesday in November, there
must be one sustained effort--a long
pull, a strong pull, and Il pull alto
gether, such pull as will show that
when the ballots are counted, Milton
G. Urner is the choice of the whole
people Of the Sixth District. -Her-
