MrsAPPREHENsIoN.-There Is O
great deal of misrepresentation in
our community relative to the Ag-
riculiural Implement Manufacture
ing Company of this city.
The facts of the case are thest
These works, In their present or
ganization, are unable TO supply,
by nearly one-half, the demand
for their implements. Parties In
Ohio are organizing company to
manufacture Glover Hnllers, and
take for its field the West. OF
course that company will have to
purchase from this company all its
privileges. 1t 10 separate and dis
tinct from this company and has
no connection with 1t in any way.
The management of the works
have proposed new organization,
or continuance Of the present
one under new arrangements. If
the citizens of Hagerstown, and
the county, want these works con-
tinued with territory ample for
the sale of all the implements the
capital and facilities allow of be-
ing built profitably. they must
come forward and subscribe to the
stock which ought to be 500, 600.
If this is not done, the present
board Of directors propose TO wind
up the concern and sell its machine
cry, patents, patterns, &c. DC, to
any parties giving the highest
price.
In such case 1t is altogether
likely that the new company FORM
ing In Ohio will buy most of the
mathinery, ols,patents, patterns,

ue here under new organization
or not. The men In the old COM

Hammond makes $50 900 year, it
is understood, giving medical advice
which is not worth $4,000 a year.
| call that sort of man a charlatan,
because he is getting his increase

Yet he rushes to the front to con-
denim DIR. Bliss, who is poor, and
who worked like a dog at Garfield 5
side. | have my doubts whether
the medical records will show any
case Of a man who has lost his sleep
and yet kept his nerve as much as
Bliss. If Bliss was not a good deal
of man, physically and mentally,
this picking at him under the cir
cumstances would have broken him
down long ago. Such a wound as
Garfield received was next to con-
domination to die in the first place.
Nothing but the best class of atten-
ton and knowledge has kept him
up.

The COnkling.Herald Article.
SULPHUR IN THE AIR.


In to- days N. Y. Tribune Mr.. Thomas NJ.
Nichol makes short but decidedly sharp reply
to the five column article in the New York
Heratd yesterday purporung to give the his
tory OF the conferences between Garfield and
COHkl1ng at New York and Mentor. This artl-
Gle Is generally attributed to Mr.. Conkling and
quite evidently was either written or dictated
by him. Mr.. NichOl, who was In position to
know good deal about the matter says that
the tone Of the C0nkling article treats the
President as the tool of Mr. Blaine. This is
simply d1sre6pectful and UNIDENTIFIED. Mr.
Blaine is not in position to take part in the
present Tight; II he were it would not be so
perSistent1y forced on to him.
Next the article directly charges General
GARFIELD with being pr0fuse OF promises during
the campaign and even OF going to New York
In August on purpose TO make promises Mr..
NtchOl proceeds to give the inner history OF the
New York meeting, and says the purpose OF
General GAr1eldS attendance at that meeting
was not to make pledges or conditions with
MI. CoDkling, but 20 "thwart his treachery.n ~
In conclusion Mr.. Nichol says: "Surpo3e all
that Is said about General Garfleld's promises
ana pledges to be true; 1t only proves that
ConEl1ng and his followers were not willing to
support q republican ticket as loyal, honest
republicans should, but only on conditions
only for the honors and profits, the lOaves and
fishes. This Is the self fconfeesed disgraceful
story Matched out and TOLD now after EIGHT
months OF incubation, In such bombasttc
tones as only one man In the United States In
master Of 4 am 10th to close as Lincoln said
to other traitors In his flrst Inaugural. Tharo
is more to say, but II Will save"

1t is evident that pretty vigorous effort Ia

while?" quoIh the STAR man.

A democratic Senator said last night "From
all can gather from conversations with repuo-
lfcan Senators think there Is going to be a
OF front.n
Despite denials from any quarter 1t is now
known that the exchange of places between
Judge Robertson and Vim. E. Chandler was
subject Of discussion at the caucus held on
Tuesday: and further, 1t can be said that more
than one Senator advocated it as the best means
OF adjustment OF the present trouble
On behalf OF the President, 1T is said by his
friends that he has no idea OF receedlng from
his position; that Is OF Withdrawing Judge
Robertson. There are Senators who will vote
be better pleased though IL he could be con-
hTmed without the aid of democratic votes.
They admit he cannot. Hence some of them
think, In view of this fact that it may be pay
Ing too dearly for the whistle to force Robert
9,1 son through, and put the administration under
To-day several Senators have called on the
President to see II an adjustment cannot ba
reached whereby harmony can be restored.
Much will depend upon the result OF these in
