by the american correspondent, none
seem to be materially strong save,
perhaps, those which arise from the
implied hostility of "the political
managers" If this be true, it is a
confession in advance that they can
not, or do not really desire, to carry
the district. For it may be put down
as certain that if Judge Alvey can
not be elected at this juncture, no
other democrat can be.
Our object, however, in first allud-
ing to Judge Alvey in this connection
was simply to put forth the idea that
the standard of intellectual, Judicial
and political qualifications for a con-
gressional nominee should be raised
from the level fixed by the blatant
aspirations of many who are seeking
the distinction. This isa district in
Importance second to few in the
United States, and it should always
be very ably represented in the Ma
tional Legislature. Both parties
should see to it that the best, purest
and strongest intellocts in their
ranks are secured to give us the
weight and influence we ought to
have.

Swanton coal company. The Super

The Cumberland correspondent of
the Baltimore american quotes Judge
Alvey's letter and adds:
As the editor Of the JOURNAL few
weeks ago suggested to the republicans the
denomination of Hon, M. G. Urner, the
distinction, in his estimation, belonging to
him by right of party usage. ltremains 10
be seen whether OF not both political par
ties will follow his advice. The Demo
Gratis may be fortunate if they should in
duce Judge Alvey to consent to allow his
name to go l,efore their convention in this
congressional district, as he would help to
unite the disafiected elements in their
party, no matter if they failed to elect
him; but it is hardly likely that they will
ask him to resign his present position as
chief judge in this circuit to accept NOM
nation for Congress, which is not equiva-
lent to an election by any means in this
mountain district, and especially at this
particular time. The power OF the politi-
cal managers of the State is always shown
in this district at every election, and no
democrat can get the nomination for Con
press this fall without their consent
Judge Alvey is not their choice, and it is
not very likely that he will be nominated.
The JOURNALS course in the mat
ter has been one of suggestion, not Of
, "advice." The nomination of Mr..
Urner seems to be foregone, in accor-
dance with usage. Moreover, SO far
as we know he has made good rep.
resentative-good enough at least to
furnish no substantial reason why the
republican party should, against Gus
tom, turn him down.
With reference to the obstacle cited
az against Judge Alvey's nomination

An ENTHUSIASTIC ENDORSE
MENT or JUDGE ALVEY.


ROCKVILLE, MD., Aug. l6, 1880.
EDITOR FRosTBURd JoURNAL-My
Dear Sir:-To say that was pleased
at the receipt of your esteemed jour
nal of Saturday, containing the letter
of that eminent iurist, true gentle
man and sterling democrat, Hon. R.
II. Alvey, and your very sensible and
appropriate remarks thereon, conveys
but faint idea Of the intense graft
fication afforded me.
Your. suggestions from an indepen-
dent standpoint in reference to what
is the proper thing to do by both po-
litical parties in the ensuing congress
sional contest are extremely apropos.
Mr.. Urner has made very respea
table representative; has fully earned,
and is entitled to denomination at
the hands of his political friends.
But in regard to the action which
should be taken by the democratic
party in the selection Of their stand
ard-bearer, your suggestion is a most
excellent one. If followed and put
into practical shape by them, it will
result, pq did the action of the late
Cincinnati convention, in giving US
candidate stronger than his party-a
nomination which is invincible, as it
will unite all factions; and one which,
in my humble estimation, will place
the sixth district in accord with her
sister districts in the State, thus pre-
senting in the 47th Congress an un-
broken democratic front in the Mary
land Line.
I have talked 10 a great many
democrats from all parts of the dis
trict on this subject, and the invarl-
able and enthusiastic response to the
inquiry as to the propriety Of Judge
Alvey's nomination for Congress has
been-"why, he's Just the man !"
In the coming contest democrats
will be welded to no particular aspi-
rant, or insist upon the nomination OF
their particular favorite, as in times
past, whether for veal or woe. The
other gentlemen already mentioned,
Messrs. Schley, Baughman, Douglas,
Henderson, Semmes, and Veitch, are
all worthy and able men who would
do no discredit to the banner upon
which their political creed is emblaz-
oned, and under whose folds they
have all SO gallantly struggled IN the
political battles of the past. But all
those worthy gentlemen, in comparl'
son with our peerless Alvey, are as
the young lieutenants of an army to
the great commander. They are
young, intelligent, aad daring; he,
aged, experienced, reaolute, and wise.
BY all means, let him be nominated,
for there is brilliant political future
which he may thus attain, and which
will enure to the great advantage and
credit OF his constituents. He is, and
can be, no aspirant for political pre-
ferment in the direction indicated,
but he is too public-spirited citizen,
too unselfsh a patriot, to refuse to
make some sacrifice for the public
welfare. Let his cold fashioned JEFF
fersonian convictions which, il out
Of date, should be made the style
once more, be met and salutod with
"old-fashioned Jeifersonian action" on
the part of his acknowledgements, and,
the "oGlce seeking the man. gfato-
full constituency will applaud the act,
and the people will latiiy it at the
polls in November next.

FATAL AcCIDENT.--James Barber,
an old and well-known miner of this
section, was fatally injured Monday
last in the Midlothian mine of the
New Central coal company. Itseems
that the room in which he was work
ing is marked by heavy grade, so
that when loaded car has to be run
down a man must 90 ahead and sprin-
kle coal dust upon the track. Barber
was in the act OF doing this while his
partner remained to manage the car.
Tn this instance the latter discovered
that his car was gaining headway and
becoming unmanageable, and with all
the voice he could command called to
Barber to "look oqtl" 1t issupposed
by some that Barber did not hear the
call by others that he continued his
duty with the hope of stopping the
car. At any rate the car struck and
dragged him along the track dis
tance of fifty fest, He was picked up
and carried to his boarding-house in
an unconscious condition, and died
while hiscomrades were washing him.
His breast-bone was broken up and
mashed in upon the vital parts, pro-
ducing mortal injuries. He was about
As years old and unmarried. The
Inspector promptly visited The scene,
but upon an examination of the cir
cumstanco9 decided that an inquiei
ton into tho causes Of death was un-
necessary.

The FRosTBURG JOURNAL speaks of the
recent forcible bridge building movements
ofthe new railroad at Knapp's meadow as
enterprises" If some rival printer were
to set up job office ON the JOURNALS
front steps the editor would know how to
appreciate such enterprise" without
closer ''intimacy" with the old, the new OF
any other railroad company than he now
maintains-NduS.
Unfortunately for the NeaUS, its
illustration does not apply.
If our job Office had squeezed out
of this community over 100000 per
snnum during the nine last years, the
location of rival establishment up
on our front steps" would find good
excuse for the development of its "en-
terprise," and the people would be
JUSTIFIED in sustaining it.
We are not aware, however, that
the JOURNAL has oppressed anybody
certainly it has never claimed to have
achieved more than decent living
hence, a "rival" who would success
fully occupy our "steps" would i'm
pose hardship and perhaps, if he
were able, drive us out of town. We
could "get away" with him handsome
ly, though, if we could block his course
SO thoroughly that, after having done
his printing, he could not deliver his
goods to his customers
Hence, it would be on his part a
decided stroke Of enterprise" to
"raise the blockade"
Why not?
Frostburg mining journal., 1880-08-21

SEVERAL papers, among them the
Cumberland Times and Baltimore
Sun, publish Judge Alvey's letter as
"declination." We do not so con-
strue it. In the first place, the Judge
has had no opportunity to "decline"
for the reason that no authoritative
offer of the nomination has been
made. In the second place, if we
may be permitted to take his letter as
indicating his status, he writes: I'll
am not a candidate and, i'll fact, have
no aspirations that way" A high
toned, modest man, imbued with the
"Jeffersonian" idea, could say no
more. He is "nota candidate" every
body who knows the man believes
that. He has "no aspirations that
way" is equally credible.
The most unfavorable portion OF
the letter is that wherein he fears "no
good could result from his election, :
but this is also characteristic of the
man. Suppose the convention should
take the opposite view-in effect that
he is the only democrat that can be
elected-and nominate him accord
ingly-with all his great ability who,
then, would be esteemed the best
judge of his availability, and ulti-
mately of his effici ency as represen-
tative?
Until he refuses to yield to some
such decision as this we will not con-
slider that he has declined.
