TIE CANADA ELECTIONS.

MONTREAL, September 18.-Not
only has the result OF the elections
taken the friends of the Mackenzie
government entirely by surprise, but
it 1as astOniShed beyond measure it's
opponents, who, whatever may have
been their expectations, certainly did
not anticipate so extraordinary Il
revolusion of public sentiment in
their favor. So overwhelming is the
defeat of the Liberal party found to
be IN almost every province, as more
complete returns are received, that
nothing has ever been seen like it in
Canada except the sweeping condem-
nation pronounced by the country
against Sir John Macdonald and his
Cabinent in 1874, Immediately after
the disclosures of the Pacific scandal.
In the present contest the issue has
| been free trade versus protection and
retaliatOry tariff against the United
| States. 1t is acknowledged by the
beaten party that the elections have
been carried on fairly, though there
is rumor that Mr.. Gault, the Con-
sentative candidate in Montreal
West, spent $4,000 in the division,
apd the Money was employed lavish
ly in some other constituencies. -
few candidates are also believed to
have carried their elections through
local Influences, but these isolated
cases cannot be held to have affected
the general result to any great extent.
The Liberals must rather look for
the causes of their crushing defeat to
the general discomfort among the
working classes because ofthe scarcity
of work and low wages to vide
spread desire for assimilating the
Canadian trade policy to the system
in force in the United States and
last, but not least, to a combination
of the various interests bent upon
securing protective duties on flour,
on divers man ufactures and on coal
and other minerals.

BY reference to our advertising
columns, it will be observed that the
Offices of registration throughout the
county, will again open their offices,
on Monday and Tuesday, the 18th
and Sth of October, and will remain
open each day until o'clock, for the
purpose Of correcting the list by
striking therefrom tie names OfSuCh
who are disqualified and adding
thereto those who are qualified or
who shall become qualified prior to
the election. There was "A small num-
her registered during the recent sit
tings of the Registers, doubtless many
forgetting to apply for registration.
To all such we have to say that this
will be their last opportunity, and if
they fail to register on either of the
above mentioned days, they will be
debarred from voting on election
day. 1t is the duty of every good
citizen to vote, but in order to do so
it is absolutely necessary to have
their names duly registered. Those
who haye removed from one Elec-
ton District to another since the last
registration, must have their names
transferred to the books of the Dis
tricts in which they are at present,
otherwise they cannot vote. We
trust the Republicans in every Dis
trict in the county will attend to this
important matter, and see that every
Republican in their respective Dis
tries is properly registered. DON'T
forget the time! The Registers meet
on Monday and Tuesday, the 18th
and Sth Of October, which will be
their last session to the coming cleo
ton.

ROCKVILLE, MONTGOMERY Co.
Sept. 1S.-The Sixth District Demo-
cratic Convention, which adjourned
at Oakland on the 10th instant, met
here to-day in the court house to
nominate candidate for Congress.
A general caucus was called early in

after which they joined Washington
and Allegany. Frederick had been
INSTRUCT ed for Peter, but the Freder-
lex city delegates We're strongly OPP
posed to his nomination, while, on
the other hand, one member of Gar
rett was strong for Peter. Suisse
! quently, in caucus it was decided to
endorse any nominee that Montgom-
cry might present. At Ills O'Clock
Montgomery separated from the
caucus and in few moments return
ed the name of George Peter. Some
diSafection was manifested, and the
caucus was dissolved. 1t, however

Encourage every one, especially
new men, to come and settle among
you, particularly those who are wor-
thy, active, whether they have capt.
tai or not. Those who have capital
will buy lots, build houses, or tear
out and remodel the old ones. Go to
work and stimulate every legitimate
enterprise by giving it all The en-
enlargement you. can, or by uniting
your industry, influence and capital
in the cause. Cultivate a public
spirit, and talk less than you work.
Help your neighbor. If he is in
danger of breaking down, prop him
up in some way, either by kind
words, good counsel or a lift from
your pocket book. If he gets fairly
down before you know his situation,
set him on his feet again-his mis-
fortune is to be pitied, not blamed,
and his talents and labor are worth
money to the community. Besides,
it may some day be your turn to need
a corresponding sympathy. EncOur-
age your local authoriti in making
mprovements for the good of the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence to The Republican

Especial Correspondence TO The Republican.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sep. q, 1878.
On general principles it may be
deemed unfortunate that the TreaSu-
ry Department has had to rescind a
very important order that was in
tended to anticipate, by some months,
the date fixed by law for the practi-
cal resumption of specie payments,
because upon more mature reflection
it seemed to conflict with the spirit
of some of the financial work of Con-
gress-at least was not absolutely
free from doubt in that respect. 1t
is chiefly to be regretted because OF
such impairment of confidence as
may result from what will be regar-
ded as retrograde movement, in a
department standing in the most vi
tai relationship to the financial well
fare of the whole country. In other
words annulling the order was equiv
alent to confession that it had beer
prematurely made. But beyond that
mentioned, the promptness Of the
Secretary in correcting the mistake
when satisfied it was such, saves u'
! from anything more serious thar
some disappointment and little an
noyance and temporary business de
rangement in Individual cases.

Department by the American Con

The nomination Of George Peter,
Esq, by the Democratic Convention,
was made on last Wednesday at
Rockville. This gentleman is now
the representative of Montgomery
county in the Senate Of Maryland.
During its last session he furnished
abundant proof of his warm attach
ment and subserviency to the ring,
that has for so many years controlled
the actions of the Democratic party
and dictated its policy. When the
bill, reducing the taxable limits of
Fred derrick, was before the Senate, he
was prominent for his disregard of
the wishes and opinions Of vast
majority of our citizens, belonging
to both political parties, and manifes-
ted his earnest support of the bill by
an incorporate speech. This action
of Mr.. Peter caused great indigna-
ton among his party associates in
Frederick. and his nomination has
been made in defiance of this oppose
tion.-Frederick Examiner.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Review of the Wholesale Mark els.

FOR THE WEEK ENDING DECEMBER 4, 1878.
The markets are generally quiet and unchanged
this week. There slight fail in prices of cot
tons in the dry goods MARKET scarcely any change in
the money market add gold commands 1tO}.
Apples are abundant and this week move slowly,
and good lots Can be obtained at $15U " barrel. In
the matter Of nuts there Is change. Oranges came
in in large quantities during the last few Gays and
prices dropped accordingly about one-third. There
is little doing in raisins. The grocery business
is quiet and this is chiefly attributable to
the bad travelling in the country. Coffee is
very dull, Rio is &c lower and quoted at IA @ TIC.
Flour is firm, sales light and no change in prices.
Lard dull and easy with rise on keg to 81 g 7cand
fall in tierce from 81 q to 81 q sMolasses is dull
and unchanged, except New Orleans, which is quot
ed about &c lower Oil is frmer; kerosene &c higher,
pank, shore, lnseed and boiled a few cents lower.
Beet is unchanged pork dull while in hams there is
fall of ac. Teas are quiet and unchanged and so
with tobacco The grain market is a little frmer
with slight advance in prices. owing to the sympa-
thy with the advance in wheat at the west, which is
partly owing to MIR. keenes corner. Incountry pro-
duce the markets are generally active; beans show
slight decline. The drug, paint and varnish
market Is very quiet at about the last quoted prices
but there is frmer feeling and an advance in pig
