The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1880-03-20

managers claim that the Governor
has completely ignored and snubbed
them, and there is a disposition to
retaliate. 1t is stated to-day that
whenever Mr.. German and Mr.. Col
ton recommend some person to an
important office the Governor is de-
termined to turn him down. Mr..
German, it is said, desired of ALI
things to see Gen. Bond retained as
adiutant general, and Col. Scharf ap.
pointed as state librarian, and in
some of his interviews with the Gov.
ernor expressed himself to that
effect. But the Governor disregarded
these recommendations, and in each
instance made another appointment.
The leaders also desired to secure an
appointment for Joseph Thompson,
but in that matter they were also dis
appointed. The party leaders are,
therefore, greatly indignant and vow
vengeance, and there is every pros-
pect from henceforth of wrangling
between the two factions. The Ham
ilton men were aroused by the car
ICONS representing them as Bannon's
pups" and there was much indigna-
ton manifested. There were various
conjectures as to it's authorship.
THE STRIKE IN THE CUMBERLAND
COAL REGION.
i CUMBERLAND, March 16.-All was
in readiness on the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal yesterday for the ship
ment of coal, but no boats were load
ed. The Consolidation Coal Company
had intended to ship two boat-lCadS
of coal to Sicily & Findley. of Will
Transport. The sum offered was so
cents a ton, which would be at the
rate of 81 to Georgetown A des-
patch was sent early in the morning
to the mines to have the coal for
warded to Cumberland. A little
later delegation of bOatmen waited
upon the captains of the boats, and
told them that they would not be al
lowed to go o3t for less than the rate
demanded-nameIy, 622 cents. A
despatch was then sent to Sicily IL
Findley, and they refused to pay the
additional 122 cents. There upon the
order was countermanded, and no
attempt was made to load the boats.
The captains, not knowing how long
the strike of the trainmen on the
Cumberland and Pennsylvania Rail
road would last, left for home with
empty boats.
The strike of the trainmen for
| higher wages on the second division
of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
Railroad, extending from Frostburg
to Homecoming to Piedmont and the
third division, from Homecoming to
Piedmont, still continues, and is a
serious matter, as but little coal can
be shipped from the mines, to this
city. From what can be gathered t
is evident that the men are very de-
termined in their demands, and, if
necessary, will go to extreme meas
ures. The strike does not extend to
the employees on the passenger trains
which are running regularly between
Cumberland and Piedmont. A pos
tai card received yesterday from Mt
Savage, says: 1.-THE strike is very
near general among the repair hands,
the brakesmen and also conductors.
Some two or three from Mt. Savage
this morning yentured out, but were
frightened and returned home. Only
a few remain, and are now on the
last run. No coal at Frostb lrg un
less It. MallOy succeeds in getting the
Geek hands to work"
