Daniel, president ofthe State Temperance Alliance
aad wm. NJ. Way, . minister Of the religious so
eiety Of Friends, addressed the meeting, which
was q highly intelligent one and large for u ceun-
try place. While tho speakers dwelt on tho re-
lgious and moral bearing Of the subject they also
most emphaticaly and ably urged that local option

and advocated the union Of the whole religious
element Of society for that purpose. The follow

BEWARE OF THE BOSSES. :"

There are two or three things Il will be we'll for
the Republicans Of our county keep In view. The
Embossed, intelligent and united action Of the
Republicans 10 required to make successful con-
test with the Democrats. That condition can be
had only by determined, unselfish patriotism on
the part Of ai Republicans 10 see that the party
In the county Is prostitutei to no Mans interest.
We know Of no man who ID greater than the Re.
publican party. The boss principle as well as
bosses should be dealt with in dispassionate, yet
determined way that mono could fail to under
stand. There can be no bosses without people TO
boss and = word to those who have heretofore
been too willing to be deluded may not be amiss.
They may SGT Il down as q fact that the senti-
ment that prevailed at the Frederick Convention
in lSSO will be the ruling one in the convention
to meet October 5th, at Cambridge. That senti-
ment was that hs party, and not Jaefion-fke
party, and not a cotorie Of bosses. Office mongers
and Otiee-seekers Of many years standing should
control the management and welfare Of the party.
How that management told last year was record
ell In the magnificent vote poled for our stricken
and suffering President-more than G,O0O heavier
than ever polied before.
Gentlemen who have been following reluctantly
the forlorn fortunes Of men who have been for
some time on the down grade. being promised Mt
every turn that prize was awaiting them for
their slavish personal service, can now tear them
selves away from the selfish boss that has been
using them, with the absolute certainty that he
has no power to help or harm them. Unless you
want to DO on the losing side there Is no wisdom
in riding longer in that boat. We think We can
assert with safety that the sentiment Of the party
will set down on the arrogant Office holding and
Office. seeking bosses. We have no desire TO re-
fleet upon either class. But Il Is the bossism in
each that we condemn and which L. ruinous to
any party.
Bossism In our county was defeated twice last
year. The people are again ready to repeat last
years lesson. Last year Il showed is head bold
ly and defiantly and was routed emphaiicalIy.
This year IL is more stealthy. hiding itself behind
the popularity Of local candidates that IL sets up
in various districts Of the county In order 10 carry
hopeless or doubtful districts. All Of these can
didatcs can't get the nomination. but IL they can
all carry their districts they will all have the sat
isfacion Of seeing the boss &c, all their districts
for ki@sslI. while TnrY will fnd-certainly all but
oue-themscives left. These good natursi gem
tlemen are good enough in their way and would
not be Objectionable IL they were not allowing
this use to be made Of them.

THE DUTY OF THE PARTY.

The Republican party Of our county should put
In the Geld irst.ra,c Republican ticket and
make vigorous fight. The following officers are
to be elected In November: A Register Of Wills
to hold Office for six years: Sheriff for two years
q Treasurer and Collector Of Taxes for two years
Surveyor for two years three County commis ..
sioners, for two years and sir members Of the
General Assembly Of Maryland. This make,
thirteen officers to be elected.
Il 10 not to be expected that the Democrats will
exercise very bread view Of the situation or gu
dates for county officers. aud II becomes the Re-
publicans to exercise their best Judgment In the
selection Of candidates for the peoples .unrag G.
in November. They should be selected solely
with reference to their eminent fitness for the pc.
sition to which they are expected to DO clccte 1
and 10 their ability 10 ria 10 NoremLer.
There 10 abundant material throughout the
county In the Republican ranks from which a
ticket could be selected that would be credit to
any community or an ornament to any positions
TO which they might be called. Let the Republi-
then. from now Till our convention meets, de.
vote their intelligent energies to the selection Of
candidates Of unexcepiiouable bearing. Call
upon the best, most available men In your re.
spective communities and obtain their consent to
DO placed upon the ticket should the convention
desire TO nominate them. Set their eandidac y
going In order tina, it may be generally know
before the convention meets who arc talked Of for
candidates 10 order that their merits or dement's
may be discussed. When this condition prevails
We shall not have convention coming together
without knowing what il Is to do or who il may
possibly nominate, nor have the members inquir-
ing AFTER the convention Is In motion whom they
can get to take the nomination for certain Offices
While we do not believe in rings or dicta,ion to
the convention, or packing and filing to force in
dividuai programmes on the party, We are deci
dedly In favor Of every delegate to the convention
coming with all the information he can bring
that his Intelligent advice and action may give
light TO the convention and aid in its wise conduct
This IL the only condition that prevents the con.
vention from being vietimired by the self. seeker
whose chief end and being Is to subordinate the
rest Of mankind TO his personal use.

sx:o- Bos'ism in politics in this State (says the
Frederick Era@in,rl will soon be a, an end, IL the
signs Of the times read correctly by US. The
canal ring Of the Democratic party is almost on
its last legs, aud the Custom House ring Of the
Republican party has been summarly retired to
the rear. The Fulton Thomas clique feel them :
selves terribly outraged that this should be tho
case. and are now engaged in n desperate but
hopeless eiIrt 10 recover that power which they
used for such unhallowed purposes, aud which the
people have wrss,ed from them just in time to
save the Republican party in the State from going
To utter ruin and dissolution. The people tri-
umph and the bosses will not again be tolerated.
