In the past sixteen years two Presidents of
the Republic have been assassinated; another
was tried and escaped being impeaehed and
ousted, by the skin of his teeth aud another
held the Presidential office by n fraudulent
title. This is great country. What next
Hare de Grace Republican.
Well, as this all happened during the
supremacy of the Republican party, the
next thing should be to hurl it from power.

they been given their proper recognition

The Cambridge Convention.

The Republican State Convention met
at Cambridge on Wednesday, and organ
lied with Hon. John A. ]. Cresswell as
Chairman. The Grant StalWarts had every
thing their own way in the convention,
and also in the State Central, Committee
where they turned out J. Emory Weather
by and put in Mr.. Stockbridge as Chair
man.
Thos. S. Gorsuch, president of the First
National Bank of Frederick, was nomina-
ted for Comptroller.
The Baltimore American of Thursday
says editorially of the convention
A familiar figure, suggestive Of most I'M
pleasant period in the history of the Repabll'
can party, doomed up in the Cambridge con
vention yesterday as chairman OF that body
1t was not the ghost, but the living presence
of j. A. ]. Creswell, the left hand OF Grant
Cabinet. How he came there matters not.
The apparition, we fancy, will startle the bet
ter elements of the Republican party from
their dreams of harmony, and they will not

the political leaders who once before nearly
wrecked the Republican party, and whose
reckless and INSCRIPTIONS rule is now, after
lapse of eight years, still fresh in public
memory,
The Baltimore Gazette of the same day
says:
Mr.. Thos S. Gorsuch, of Frederick, wa;
yesterday nominated by the Republican con
vention at Cambridge for comptroller of Ma
ryland by the stalwart faction, which seems to
have had things pretty much all its own way
1t is hardly probable in consequence of the
exceedingly bitter feeling that exists in the
| rank and file Of the Republican brethren that
Mr.. Gorsuch will even receive the full partl
vote, but even should he do so there is moi
| the slightest chance Of his election over Mr.
! Heating. That a candidate chosen BY con
vention controlled by the Grant party IN Ma
ryland should receive the support of single
| Democrat is not to be thought Of. The actor
of the Cambridge convention will unite more
soIdly than ever the Democracy of Maryland
and largely increase Mr.. Keating's majority.

WHEAT FOR CHICKENS. Every far.
mer has noticed that about the
time of wheat harvest, if the fowls
are allowed to run the fields and
bsrnysrds, there is a material in
crease in the egg supply. The
second fact is the result of the
first. I have fed corn, oats, bar
ley and buckwheat, fax and sun
flower seeds, and have found moth
ing equal to whole wheat as food
for fowls. For young chicks it
seems especially adapted. After
two or three weeks feeding on soft
food, the young chickens will pick
up the wheat quite greedily, and
will thrive on it as on nothing else.
Growing chickens have a large de-
mand for lime, and especially bone
and this is more nearly
applied in whole wheat than in
other grain.-Country Gentleman.
