Making Watches.

Detective 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 ofthe watch necessitating cleaning, re-
pairing, &C., and the amount thus paid out IL
applied toward buying good case in the be-
ginning, would have saved all this trouble
and expense. We have recently seen a case
that meets all these requirements, 1t 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 IL does so many adj
vantages over all other watch cases, being
made OF two heavy plates of solid gold over
O plate of composition, and we advise all our
readers to ask their Jeweler for a card or cat
alogue thatwill explain the manner in which
they are made
IT 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 Jeweler
who keeps the JAS. BOSS PATENT STIFFEN-
ED GOLD CASE that you may learn the dif fer
ence between II 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, ana don't be persuaded that any other
make OF case is as good.

Our Next Comptroller.

The Republican party ofMaryland,
at its nominating convention, gave
to the people of the State an earnest
of its determination to wage vigor-
ously the move of Reform in our
State government by the nomination
of Thomas Gorsuch, ESQ.,, of this
county, for comptroller of the Treas
ury. In this action they net only
have paid high compliment to
Western Maryland, and especially to
Frederick county, but they displayed
such a wise discretion as seldom
characterizes political conventions.
Perhaps there could not be found
within the borders of the entire
State, man more fully competent
to discharge ably and successfully the
important and responsible duties in
cumbentupon the State Comptroller.
Mr.. Gorsuch's large experience in
the management of financial and
business affairs, together with his
high and irreproachable character for
honesty, integrity and answering
devotion to duty, entitle him, be-
yond all question, to the confidence
and earnest support of the tax payers
and voters Of the State, irrespective
of party affiliations. His record in
public and private life is unsullied
and invulnerable, and his life long
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1881-10-22

devotion to the interests of the peo-
pie Is standing guarantee that when
the people shall. at the polls in No
vember, ratjfy the action of this con-
yention. they will have placed the
most important trust into the hands
OF man who will sternly wage war
upon the abuses in our State govern
ment and seal the doors of the treas
ury against the villainies of the cor
ruptlonists and the plunderers.
With Mr.. Gorsuch as Comptroller
the Infamous Canal Ring will be
defeated in it schemes for plundering
the people of the State. and from be-
ing a mere political machine will be
reconstructed as a business corpora
ton the State fishing force will cease
to De burning disgrace to the poll
tics of Maryland there will be no
more unlawful Interpretations of
the public school funds of the State;
there will be no further mysterious
disappearance of the sinking fund, by
winch the State debt should haye
been, ere this, wiped out of existence,
and the Board of Public Works will
no longer defy the will of the people
and be run in the interest of Ring
politicians. With these considera-
tons presented to the people of the
State, and with their certain knowl-
edge that the reelection of Mr.. Keat.
ing means the continuance and ag-
gravatiOn Of all these evils, we have
no hesitation in declaring our belief
that Frederick county will have the
next Comptroller.
The Democratic Ring managers
need not deceive themselves into the
belief that the voters and tax payers
and labOring classes. whom they
nave SO long oppressed with the bur-
den of taxation, always promising
them reform in the future, will longer
listen to their false promises. The
people are too independent and in
telligent to support for this office a
man who has showed himself to be
the corrupt instrument of unscrupu-
lous men. whose record is one of dis
honest infidellty in the discharge of
official duties and whose nomination
was forced upon them against their
protest. at the dictation of a political
machine. Political rings in Mary
land are doomed TO crushing defeat
at the November election, and there
is every reason to believe that a
brighter day has dawned in the his
tory of the politics of the State.
Every Republican in Maryland will
vote for Mr.. Gorsuch and thousands
of honest Democrats will aid in
swelling his majority to such figure
as will vindicate the people against
the ruinous policy of corrupt and
avaricious politicians.
Western Maryland will give him
magnificent vote, and we appeal to
the people of the entire State to lay
aside for once partisan rancor and
stand up nebly for the protection of
their own mos! vital interests. Fred
erick Examiner.

Guiteau was arraigned in court
Friday, and pleaded not guilty.
The apprehensions which were enter
tanned in some quarters that he would
be lynched do not appear to have
been well founded, although the in
eyitable Washington crank turned

unfeeling conduct of detective in
refusing to lend him a pistol. might
have accidentally shot one of the
spectators. The trial of the assassin
has been fixed for the 18th of Novem-
Der, and the statements of Mr.. SEQ
vile confirm the previous impress
sion that the grounds of defence will
be insanity on the part of the prison.
er and malpractice on the part of Mr..
GarfieId's physicians. The question
of Jurisdiction is to be argued in the
meantime. There seems to be every
reason for believing that the trial
will be the scene of fierce contest
between leading authorities in the
medical profession. and that after the
experts have all been heard, the jury
will be in as much doubt about Gui-
teau's insanity as at first. 1t is pref
ty sure to he all a muddle.

Ed. REPUBLICAN - Allew me
space in your valuable paper, to ex-
press my hearty appreciation of the
wise selection made by the Repub-
licans ON September 9th. The ticket
is undoubtedly strong one. The
nominees are men well known for
their strong Republi an principles

efficient to discharge the duties Of
their respective offices. IF the Re-
publican voters but do their duty,
work tremendously, and each and
every one 60 to the polls OF election
day, "viclory is ours" Therefore,
let all animosities be buried. let strife
and dissensiOn in our ranks be a
thing of the past, and let us meet one
another around the polls on Noyem-
Der 9Th, with a firm, hearty and
genial "hand-shake," and more
determined effort to maintain and
perpetuate by word, deed and action,
the lllustrious principles of that grand
Old party, upon whose escutcheons
the noble, God-like and manly Gar
field shed such new lustre and glory.
Yours respectfully,
