The Publication of the Laws.

The following is taken from the
Revised Code, article 2, section II;
Every publicgeneral law which is
made to take effect before the first
day OF June next after the session at
which it may be passed, shall imme-
diately after its passage be published
at the expense of the State. daily, for
one week in ti0o newspapers in the
city of Baltimore, one of which shall
be in the German language, and one
newspaper in each county h0gi,lg the
largest circulation, if there be news
paper published in said county"
Comptroller Heating, the Ring
Democratic candidate for re election,
has Wilfully and persistently violated
this law. He has defiantly and for
political purposes published the laws
IN three neWspapersin Baltimore city,
Instead of two, at cost of 81 $50
each. He has published them in tlUO
newspapers in some of the counties
instead of one. lie has selected Dem
ocratlc newspapers in every instance,
without reference to the extent of
their circulation. as by law he is re-
CURED to do. Where there is but one
Democratic newspaper in "A county,
no matter how small its circulation
as compared with Republican news
paper in the same county, he selects
the Democratic and pays it $1,000.
Where there are tco Democratic
newspapers in a county, ignoring the
question of circulation he divides the
pay equally between them giving to
each $500. The object of the Jaw is
to inform all the people of the pas
sage of laws by which they are 10
be governed. But this immaculate
Ringster thinks only of his Demo-
cratic friends and complacently vio-
lates the law he is sworn to support
to advance the interests of his politi-
cal friends and his own. No wonder
that honest Democrats like Judge
Carmichael and Senator Earle and
Judge Merrick and Col. Marshall
and Others are disgusted at the cor
ruptioH of the Ring, and have re-
pudiated "Bossism" and refuse to
wear the collar of German. Cotton,
Hines & Co. : Westminster Sentinel.
In 1880 the Oakland Democrat
published these laws, and and re-
ceiyed $1,000 for doing the work,
when THE REPUBLICAN had nearly
double the circulation, and we would
have done it for half The amount and
considered ourseif well paid.

In communication in the Demo
crot last week we find the following
false and Infamous statement, in ref
erence to mismanagement in county
affairs:
"On page 1 of ledger, Mr. Durham
is credited with $4,000, and on page 2,
we find the same amount credited
the second time"
That statement is untrue ana the
writer knows it. We presume 1T
will be claimed to have been a "ty-
biographical error" which may ex-
honerate the writer, but will hardly
excuse the editor, who could have
turned to his files of less than two
wears ago and found the true hgures.
IN crave charges like the above great
care should be taken not to DO lnJus-
tica 70 a fellow citizen who STANDS as
high in the community as the writer
or nuhlisher of the above libel.

commencement of the late war ne
enlisted as private in the army ana
served for three years, taking part IN
several engagements, in one OF Whlch
he was severely wounded. Near the
close of the rebellion he was honor
ably discharged. AS we said before
he is thoroughly qualified, and being
strictly temperate he will be a safe
man to elect to the responsible POSI-
ton.
The Commissioners ticket is made
up of representative men, of acknowl-
edged business capacity; men OF
brains and character. 1t is we hon
estly believe the best ticket ever pre-
scented to the people of the county.
Mr.. S. l.. Townshend. of Oakland,
heads the list. He is one of the best
known business men in the county,
and is held in universal esteem by
all who know anything about him.
He has heretofore held the office of
Commissioner, as well as those Of
tax collector and magistrate. in all of
which he gave universal satisfaction.
His business training especially fits
him for a place on the county Board,
and in his hands the interests of the
tax payers will be safe. He was
nominated very much against his
wish, but concluded to stand after
being urged by large number of the
best men in the county.
Mr.. Eli McMillen, of Accident, is
an intelligent and successful me-
chanic-a saddler by trade. He start
ed out in life poor, but by energy,
directed by well balanced mind, he
has accumulated modest compe-
tency, as Well as gained the esteem
of large circle of friends. He has
also held the Office of magistrate.
Mr.. Thomas B. Wiley. is a farmer
residing in Grantsville district. He
is careful and prudent in the man
Of his affairs, and fully
qualified for the place. He is no
politician, but was placed upon the
ticket because it was believed that he
was an honest, capable man.
Mr.. John Harmed, candidate for
county Surveyor, was unanimously
renominated, he having already serv-
ed for four years in that position.
He is so we'll known throughout the
county, that any commentator from
us is almost unnecessary. He is rec
ognizad as being one of the best and
most careful surveyors in Western
Maryland, and, as heretofore, he Will
undoubtedly be elected by a very
large majority.
We have given these biief sketches
of our candidates, SO that our readers
may know whom they are called upon
to support. We have a good ticket,
one worthy of our support, and if che
proper work is done. and full vote
polled, the entire ticket will be cleo
ted by a good working majority.

The Republican Ticket.

SO far as we have been able to learn,
the ticket placed in the field by the
Republican nominating convention,
gives generaral satisfaction, and is
regarded as a good and. strong one.
All parts of the county are represen-
ted, as nearly as it is possible, and
the character of our candidates are
above repreach-against whom moth
ing of damaging character can be
alleged. Ii contains many elements
OF personal strength, and ought to
command the full vote of the party.
Hon. Geo. w. Wilson, our candi-
date for the State Senate, is farmer
and lumberman, a man of quiet, re-
tired habits. sharp business qualifica-
lions, and a sound Judgment, that
has won success in his calling. He
has ably represented the county in
the lower branch of the legislature
Tor four years, and has been success.

the county needed, and was looked
upon by members of both political
parties as an able, active and temper.
ate man.
Mr.. Samuel j. Beachy, nominee
for the House of Delegates, is a farm
er of Grantsville district, and is a
very influential and highly respected
citizen. He has filled the office of
county commissioner and several
minor positions, in all of which he
gave entire satisfaction.
DIR. Howard M. Kemp, of Bloom
ington, the other nom nee for House
OF Delegates, is young man who has
secured for HIMSELF under mauy dis
couraging circumstances, thorough
education, being graduate of the
West. Va. University, of the class o.
1876. Since then he studied medi.
cine, and is now practicing in his ma.

A curious feature of the returns of
the Ohio election is the uniform Re-
publican gain in all the Democratic
counties. There are twenty-one of
these counties in which there have
been recently cases of defalcation on
the part of Democratic officials. Five
of these went Republican, and in the
Others there were large Republican
gains. In short, there has been too
much Democratic reform in Ohio.
The business has been overdone.

The Warning will be Needed.

The exposition which has recently
been made of the manner in which
members of the Legislature betrayed
their trust-the recklessness with
which they layishIy appropriated the
money of the taxpayers by the en-
plOyment of a useless number of at
taches in both Houses of the General
Assembly, solely for the purpose of
bestowing rewards for partisan SER
yices-the failure of the Ring leaders
to stand by the principles of the plat
form on which they were electt d
are all so many warnings to the peo-
pie TO be on their guard to prevent
the nomination and election of such
men in the future.-Balto. Tribune,
(DeM.)

Facts for the People.

When new Legislature meets it
is necessary that few of the cid Off
GERS should attend to assist in its or
ganiZation. The law, however, ex-
pressly provides that seven only shall
attend for that purpose and receive
pay. This law is as positive as it is
possible for any language to make it,
The usual allowance used to be about
six days per diem or $50 each. For
seven this would be S2l0-and be-
liberal pay. Yet when the Legisla-
ture of 1880 met, the Ring leaders.

of the former officers there and paid
them from 5000 down to 60 apiece.
to S2,25l, more than 81.

and Mr.. Heating, the Ring CAN

bills.

President Arthur Monday sent in
the nomination of Edwin ID. Morgan,
of New York, to be Secretary ot the
Treasury. This was the only Cabl-
net nomination sent in. A telegram
was received from Ex-Governor Nor
gan by President Arthur accepting
the Treasury portfolio with the UNI
Outstanding that if the duties of the
Treasury become too fatiguing, he
will not remain during the Presi-
dents entire term of Office. The
Senate, in executive session, has con-
firmed the nomination of ex-Gover-
nor Morgan to be Secretary OF the
Treasury, without the usual reference
TO a committee.
Wednesday Gov. Morgan declined
the position.

A Yorktown correspondent says it
was generally remarked by the ladies
that President Arthur was very
handsome man. When he delivered
his address he wore a iaunty Prince
Albert coat buttoned closely and his
hands were carefully gloyed. The
French guests regarded him admir-
ingly as he spoke.

"Who killed Garfield ?" queries the
Democrat, and from thinner conscious
ness" we presume, evolves the an
swer that it was the outgrowth of a
Republican civil service system. Was
not Jackson the author of the motto
ito the victors belong the spoils."
and did any Democratic administra-
ton ever practice any other precept ?
And now, while we are about it,
let us ask a question or two.
Who killed Lincoln and attempted
the assassination of his cabinet?
Who killed Chisholm and his chill
dren ?
Who killed Dixon?
Who killed the Hamburg Victims {?
Will the Democrat kindly answer.
