LoNACoNING, Oct. II, 1881.
10 The Citizens Of ARsgany County, Nd:
I, the undersigned, would, with
your permission, make a remark to
contradict false report that has been
circulated around the county about
my disqualification as running for the
House of Delegates.
l will show to you and the public
that this report has been gotten up to
injure me in this campaign, for I am
not ineligible according to the Oonsti-
tuition that was framed and adopted
by the Convention which assembled
at the city of Annapolis, May 9Th.
1867, and adjourned August 18th,
1867. Here is what the Constitution
says:
ARTICLE 3, Section 9.--No person shall
be eligible as q Senator or Delegate who,
at the time of his election, is not citizen
OF the State of Maryland, and who has not
resided therein Tor at least three years next
preceding the day of his election, and the
year thereof, in the county, or in the leg
islatlve district of Baltimore city, which
he may be chosen to represent, If such
county, or legislative district OF said city,
shall have been so long established; and
if not, then in the county, or city from
which, in whole, or in part, tho same may
have been formed nor shall any person
be eligible as Senator unless he shall
have attained the age Of twenty-five years,
nor as Delegate unless he shall have at
tanned the age oftwenty.one years at the
time of his election.
Having resided eight years in ALLIE
gany county and being a citizen, I
am undoubtedly eligible.
Yours truly, h. w. PRICE.

ANOTHER CoNTRAD1cT1oN = The
Valley Times R9utimg HseJ--The
Valley Times paws the following left
Landed compliment to some of cur
late Senators:
1t has been years since Allcgany has
been represented in the Senate by one
accustomed to puJlic Speahing, and of the
present candidates Mr.. Brace is the only
ono who can make him self heard on tic
floor of the Senate.
Certainly the Times included Mr..
Combs in its wholesale remark. Yet
th0re are people by thousands who
put Mr.. Combs down as one Of the
very best Senators the county ever
had The Times itself wanted to
send him to Congress next fall, where,
like the Maryland Senate, public
speaking" is far more custom than
a need:
We understand that Mr.. Combs will not
consent to allow the use of his name as a
candidate for the Congressional nomina-
ton next fall. Our suggestion to that
effect was our own and was made without
consulting him.
Of course, the Times suggestions
are all its own. The miners, then,
never suggested that the inspector
should be elected, but they must have
it nolems volens gentleman "accus-
toned to public speaking" must be
sent to the State Senate, and one not
go accustomed to Congress
The truth is, people, in this utilita-
rian age but very few men compare
lively are known for their much
speaking" The tongue has become
an organ Of one of the finest arts, and
very frequently poor player upon a
defective instrument has done him
self harm when brilliant flash of
silence" would have saved him and
his cause. If an orator is what the
people want in the State Senate we
might step out of the way-but not
for Mr.. Patrick or Mr., Brace.

SATURDAY last the Valley Times

SATURDAY last the valley ZINES
yelled to the mining friends" for
some expression Of their views upon
making the Office of inspector elective.
Up to Wednesdays issue none of the
aforesaid" had been heard from.
Now, it is facilitating itself over being
first to announce its position" 1t
has gotten so deep into the matter
that the Times candidates are bound
to give II to then, whether they want
it or not. There is danger ahead for
the miners in this headlong precipita-
ton of their newly -fedged champions.
Fresh converts are proverbially zeal
GUS, and the present revival may not
last over seventeen days. These are
| the fellows who, while at the bench,
peep through their fingers to see who
is making the best prayer, and then
glory in being the first to shout
"eureka /" They are too "peart !
nine out Of ten overreach themselves
ard their good aims, and because
they have a solid delegation the
world must be evangelical right off,
no matter whether the world agrees
to it or not. Hence, the churches
never invest the management of their
affairs in the latest additions to the
membership mainly because Of the
fear that something undesirable or
unhappy will be forced upon them.
Now, if the editor of this paper
goes to the Legislature he will aim ~
to represent, not himself, nor his first
or last inspirations, but to secure if
possible all that the people want, and,
(2) above all things, to do the right
thing honorably by all who may be
concerned. He does not claim that
his antagonists will attempt less, but
he does assert as infallibly certain
that he is in far better position than
they to serve the people effectively.
THE Cumberland Times says that it is
in favor of electing mine inspector by
the people, and now let us hear from
somebody else on the subject.
Mr.. Oder, are you in favor of olecting the
mine inspector VALLEY Times.
Yes, cir; and we were in favor of all
officers being elected when the Times
editor was boy. We know it would
be a cumbersome business, in many
cases impracticable. But the inspec-
tors office does not come under any
restrictions that we know of and we
are heartily in favor of popular cleo
tions therefor.
By the way, Mr.. Editor Of the
Valley Times, are you in favor OF
electing the Cumberland postmaster
We know this matter is not in issue,
nor are you before the people 10 be
set up or pulled down, but for illus
trative purposes the interrogatory
seems pertinent. 1t is necessary to
state also that Cumberland is selected
because democrat might be elect
ed"
And we want it distinctly under
stood that this question originated
in this paper, and lit is entirely too
late for" anybody else ITO jump to
the front" and cry "Me too" Nay,
more-we will have nobody rushing
around hallooing "insipcerity" if the
Times answers-nay.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1881-10-22

The Valley Times places us in po-
sition before tho public. Tt proclaima
that
Mr.. Oder and the democratic candidates
for the House of Delegates dare not lend
their aid to this project.
1t requires no "dare" to bring us
out on that point. To the extent Of
our ability we will go with the people
in making the Office of mine inspector
elective. We believe, therefore, the
Times 10 mistaken in the notion that
Their (the democratic) party in this
county would not permit them to advocate
measure which might lose so valuable
an office to the opposition.
So, than, we join with the Times
IN the following propositions:
1. The inspector should be elected by the
people, not appointed by the Governor.
2. No one but a practical miner should
be eligible.
8. He should be a resident OF one OF the
coal producing election districts.
We will go step further if desired
by the miners and advocate the re.
striction of such election to the voters
only of the six coal-produoing election
districts of this county. This will at
once give the people Immediately in.
terested the choice of the inspector
aud take it from these Of the eastern
districts of the county whose voters
are as little qualified to pass upon the
qualifications Of the candidates as the
governor.

Is the Valley Times polishing up
the handle of a big front door ?"
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1881-10-22

The Valley Times wants to learn
What does the Governor know about
the wishes of our peopleH What does he
know about the qualifications of the APP
plicantss How does he know who will
give satisfaction to the parties most inter
ested
The inquiries refer to the appoint
ment of mine inspector, They apply
with equal force to the appointment
of magistrates and registers. And in
the general government to postmss'
tiers, marshals, and a host Of other
officers.
For our own part We have long dis
liked the appointment" system as a
rule in republic, and we join heartily
with the Times in saying
Let the miners select the man who is to
protect them in their rights.
Frostburg mining journal. [volume] (Frostburg, Md.) 1871-1913, 1881-10-22

THE JOURNAL has no desire what
ever that the people should repel the
advances of those who come forward
at any time to champion their pecun-
larry or legislative interests. But a
very broad line Of distinction between
those two interests should BIO drawn,
and the faculty of memory ought TO be
brought actively into play that the
relative attitudes of the contestants
before the people may be compared.
1t is one thing when there are no Of
fees to fill; it is something else when
there are.
