THE CAMPAIGN IN GARRETT.
Enthusiastic Meetings.
GRANTsvILLE. Md, Oct. 10Th, 1881

EVANSVILLE, Md, Oct. Goth, 1881.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN: "A large
and enthusiastic Republican mass
meeting was held here this evening.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Joseph Glotfelty, Chairman of
the District Committee, and Mr.. w.
III. Chapman was unanimously chosen
as President, and ISAIAH Boucher.
Henry Muhlenberg and Jacob Plat
ter, Vice President.
Mr.. w. P. Tewnshend was the
first speaker introduced to the meet
ing, who in an able and forcible
manner contrasted the mismansge-
ment of cur State affairs with the
able and successful management of
our county finances by the RepubIi-
cans, and showed by many clippings
from Democratic papers, and able
arguments, that it would not be safe
to trust our affairs to the Democratic
party as now managed.
We next had III. Wheeler Combs,
Esq, who, amid shouts of applause,
rained hot shot into the Democratic
ranks and effectually silenced the cry
of over paid attorneys, &C., by very
cenclusively showing that it was ne
glect or incompetency on the part of
a set of Democratic Assessors and
Board of Control and Review that
made it necessary for our commits
sioners to employ attorneys to bring
order out of chaos, and get the books
in such shape as to be intelligable to
some one besides Democratic clerk.
Messrs. McMillen and Wiley, two
of our candidates for commissioners,
were also present, and assured the
voters that they had been grossly
misrepresented and were not in favor
of employing council. unless in cases
against the county when it would be
necessary.
In all we had an excellent meeting
and the spirit shown by those present
gave earnest of a full and solid Re-
publican vote on the 9Th of Novem-
Der.
Hoping for grand old Republican
victory in Garrett we are
Yours, &c.,

Making Watches.

Defective Watch Cases are one of the chief
causes of so many watches not being good
time pieces. The cases being thin and not fit
ting well, admit dust and dirt to the move
ment, which soon interferes with the running
parts of the watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing &c, and the amount thus paid out if
applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen case
that meets all these requirements, it having
been carried for over twenty years and still
remains perfect. We refer to the JAS. BOSS
PATENT STIFFENFD GOLD CASE, which has
become one of the staple articles of the Jewel
cry trade, possessing as it does SO many adj
vantages over all other watch cases, being
made of two heavy plates of solid gold over
a plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their Jeweler for a card or cat
alogue that will explain the manner in which
they are made.
1t is the only STIFFENED CASE made with
two plates of gold, seamless pendents, and
centre, solid Joints, crown pieces, &C.. all of
which are covered by letters patent. There
fore buy no case before consulting a Jeweler
who keeps the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFEN-
ED GOLD CASE that you may learn the differ
ence between it and all limitations that claim
to be equally as good.
For sale by all responsible jewelers.. Ask
to see the warrant that accompanies each
case, and don't be persuaded that any other
make of case is as good.

There is very little that is new in
Washington concerning the forma-
ton of another Cabinet. Judge Fol-
ger will continue Secretary of the
Treasury until he see lit to resign.
The statement that he accepted the
position on condition that he was to
be made later an associate Justice of
United States Supreme Court is au-
thoritatively denied. Attorney Gen
eral MacVeagh is still absent, and
the business of the dedartment will
be conducted until further notice by
Solicitor General Phillips. Secretar-
les Lincoln, James and Hunt, it is
said, are very likely to be retained
in the Cabinet. though there is
strong probability of James retire
ment after the star route trials are
over, to make place for Secretary
Kirkwood, whose retention is being
vigorously urged by the people of
Iowa. A powerful and wealthy eIe-
ment representing the Pacific coast is
urging ex-senator Sargent for secre-
tary of the navy, while delegations
from the South are advocating Gen
eral Longstreet and ex- Judge Davis,
of Texas, for the same position. So
great is the demand for that position,
indeed, that it is very possible that
Mr.. Hunt will haye to go. 1t is an
nounced as having been stated by
the President that Secretary Blaine
will DE succeeded in December next
by ex-senator Frelinghuysen. 1t
can be stated authoritatively. in this
connection, that whatever change is
to be made in the secretaryship of
state will not be made until after
the next regular session of Congress
convenes.

No Split Tickets.

1t is important that the ticket as
printed should be voted. Its candi-
dates are known and recognized as
men who accept the principles of
the Republican party. are eminently
fitted for the offices in connection
with which they are named, and
have past records for honesty and in
tegrity that will bear strict examlna-
ton. Hence they claim the hearty
support of the party, and should re.
ceive as large a vote as is possible at
the polls next week.

augment of III. Wheeler Combs, ESQ.,,
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee for Garrett coun-
ty.
The large and enthusiastic meet
ings which have been held indicate
to a certainty which way 1.-THE wind
is blowing" The Republican voters
are wide awake to those interests
which affect them so directly as tax
payers, and there is evidently de-
termination on their part that Gar
rett county shall give an increased
Republican majority on Tuesday,
Nov. 9Th.
On Monday afternoon Oct. 31st, a
large and enthusiastic meeting was
held at Selbyspert. The meeting was
addressed by Messrs. VIM. z. Town
shend, Esq, and III. Wheeler Combs,
Esq, of Oakland, and q. A. Snyder,
Esq, of Grantsville. The issues of
the campaign were ably discussed,
and all present were pleased with the
manner in which they were present
ed. The Republicans of Garrett coun.
ty need not fear the result in this
bulwark of Repubicanism. No. 2
can be depended upon to do yeoman
service for our ticket on the day of
the election.
The meeting here at Accident was
called for three O'Clock, which came
in conflict with the Democratic meet
ing called for two o'clock. In view
OF this, and that the attorneys to the
present Board of County Commits
sioners had been personally assailed
in regard to the fee charged for their
services as counsel and other misrep-
reservations, which could be refuted,
our speakers proposed joint discus
sion, which seemed satisfactory to
them at first, but after further re-
Election and consideration they back
ed down, giving very tame excuses
for their refusal to accept the chal-
lenge. The Democrats organized their
meeting at two o'clock which gave a
large number of Republicans an OPP
portunity to attend. 1t was to the
Democratic speakers, who were
strangers to the audience, a large
turnout of Democracy, which called
forth from Mr.. Totten we'll .deserv-
ed compliment as to number and
responsibility; but when Mr.. G. A.
Snyder arose and announced that the
time had arrived to organize the Re-
publican meeting up street, fully
two.thirds of the audience arose and
left the room. The Joke was good
one and was enjoyed by the Repub-
licans much more than by the Dem
ocrats.
The Republican meeting was ad-
dressed by Messrs. Townshend, Sny-
der, Combs and Wilson. Mr.. Town
shend gave the facts and figures of
Democratic mismanagement in the
State, showing the corruption exist
ing in the Democratic rings who con-
troll the finances of the State. Mr..
Snyder followed with ringing and
patriotic speech which warmed up
the heart of every republican pre-
