Blair's views as 10 the effect of the Kelly re-

shrewd republican politician who has for a

who arrived from New York yesterday. holds
the same opinion. He say that there is moth

could expect was TO defeat Robinson. The

Somerset county on Tuesday last. The meet.
ing was the largest ever held in the county
aud ocr candidates were enthusiastically re-
ceived. Spencer c. Jones, Of this county, was
the first speaker.
he alluded TO the pleasure il afforded him
to address the Democracy Of the Eastern Shore
for the first time and then proceeded TO review
the political issues Of the day. This be said
vas but the skirmish before the great battle Of
1880, which will be one Of the warmest ever
waged. On The one side the Democratic party
is struggling for the rights Of the people and
free ballots, and on the other is the party in
favor Of surrounding the ballot-box with bay
oneis, marshals and supervisors. He did not
fear but that the party which would interfere
with the freedom Of suffrage would be over

knowledged by its action that II was incapa-
BILE Of making nominations and the job was
delegated to Arthur Stabler and his minions
This committee deliberated in secret and the
whole process OF nomination was under the

saw fit to announce ticket that smacks oi
individual schemes, and which at more points
than one is objectionable to men who have
been in the Republican party since its birth

CLEAN the fact that the unbidden guests will

Of the ticket, the fight is narrowed down to
the old fight of Democracy against Radical
ism. II is not necessary for US 10 say much
before such constituency upon the Radical
ideas Of Capitalization and ga strong govern

county government we simply point 10 the
condition Of internal affairs in Frederick

DEMO CRAFTS AND TIE RADICAL
BULL

Sometime ago we remember Of hearing an
anecdote about farmer Jones and his young
oull. 1t ran something like this Farmer
Jones thought that he would teach this young
bull 10 work, and SO possessing himself of
ayoke be put the bulls head though one
side and his own head through the other and
began 10 guide his queer mate around an
open field. All went smoothly at first, the
bull followed his lead and worked admirably.
at last it became unmanageable and darted
hither and thither regardless of the protesta-
tions and prayers Of the unfortunate Jones'
The bull made for the main road and carried
Jones along at an awful speed, causing him to
make strides three times his won't On and on
they went until poor Jones' head swan with
giddiness Of his speed, and his legs seemed
about 10 be torn from bis body. The store
Of the neighborhood came in view. Alas
poor Jones All his neighbors had gathered
there, for it was Saturday evening Seeing
no way of extrieation Jones thought 10 put
bold face upon the matter and yelled with
lusiy lungs: "WhOopee, toopy Here we
COME oAnln our iool souls, some body stop
us J. The men ran out and stopped the i'll
matched pair, and began to take the head of
the unfortunate Jones from its durance vile,
but he demurred, and between his gasps thus
wisely instructed: "Unhitch the bull, IN
stand"
Now if any of our old Democratic friends
think 10 teach that little bull-the Radical
party-to adapt itself to their gait, let them
recall the above story, for as sure as they
stick their beads in the same yoke they will
find themselves cutting just such figure as
farmer Jones when they pass review in No
vember before their old friends and neigh
bols, and again like poor Jones they will be
most ready to stand and let the bull be IN.
