The Baby Plea.

About the only charge the Demo-
Gratis have yet made against Hon.
William J. Read, the Republican
candidate for Chief Judge in this
Judicial Circuit, and Edward Stake,
Esq, our candidate for Associate
Judge, is that they are both young
mel-n0t so old nor experienced in
the practice of law as their opponents.
The charge is true and we plead gull
ty to all the counts in the indictment.
But this was no fault Of our candi-
dates it was matter over which
had no control whatever.
The same charge would have held
good against Judge Alvey fifteen
years ago and against Mr.. Syester
as well. Would it have been seri-
Gus charge?
Mr.. Read and Mr.. Stake are both
in the prime Of young manhood, in
full possession of the powers of their
intellect, fresh, strong, and not faded
by OverwOrk or abuse in any way.
Some of the greatest minds in the
world did their best and most etfec.
tive work in their early manhood.
Before he was thirty the great Napo-
leon had conducted one of the most
brilliant campaigns the world ever
saw. "Thanatopsis," the most widely
known of all the poems of William
Cullen Bryant, was written IN his
nineteenth year. The world is full
of incidents of the grandest achieve
ments by young men.
Add fifteen years of toll and vast
ing of the energies of the Democratic
candidates Alvey and SyeSter-and
they will be ranked among the old
men of our county, Git yet alive, and,
according to the constitution of the
State, ready to be retired from the
Bench while Messrs. Read and Stake
would be still in the prime of life,
ripe with years of experience, and
good for another judicial race.
The "baby" plea of the Democrats
will not hold good. Better young
man in his homage than an old man
in his dotage.-H dgerstO10n odd rel

The Campaign in Garrett.

The campaign in this county is be-

pubIicans. The meetings held in the
northern section of the county were
largely attended and very enthusiast
tic. The meeting at Selbysport Tues

j, Peddicord, Esq, and was one of
the largest ever held in the district.
On Wednesday evening meeting
was held in Grantsville, which was
addressed by Messrs. PeddIcord and
Snyder. An intelligent gentleman
writes to us from Grantsville that
Mr., Peddicord's speech at that place
is acknowledged to be the ablest and
most argumentative speech ever de-
livered there. The meetings at New
Germany and Gregg's Mill Thurs.
DAY and Friday evenings were well
attended. These last two meetings
were addressed by Messrs. Yelling
ton and McMichael, of Allegany
county, and Mr.. Snyder, Of Grants
vile. We feel grateful TO all the
speakers in the present campaign,
and especially to Messrs. Hoffman,
Richmond, Wellington and McMi-
chael of AIIegany county, for their
efficient aid. Meetings were also
held this week at Altamont Thurs

Up in Garrett county the Demo.
cratic committee billed Mr.. Blair to
stump the county, and he was to be
accompanied by the United States
Senators II. G. DAYS., VOORHEES, and
Vest, and perhaps other great lights
in the party. Well, Mr.. Blair spoke
at Oakland, and will probably not
again appear in the county. Never
theless the caravan started out for a
tour of the county. We heard from
it in the interior. Mr.. Blair was rep:
resented by Col. Kilgour; Senators
Davis and VOORHEES, by Mr.. Ludwig,
editor of the Oakland Democrat; Sem
ator Vest and the others by Mr., G..
G. Wilson, and the balance, of the
Democratic party by a bountiful sup
ply Of whiskey, which was heing
freely dispensed. AT one place it was
dealt out in so dlsgustinga manner as
to cause some Democrats to leave the
meeting, expressing their contempt
for the proceeding and the actors

Why We are Republicans.

In his recent speech at Rock
Island, H., Green B. Baum said:
1--WE are Republicans because the
Republican party had the patriotism
and courage in 1861 to declare that
the Union and the Constitution and
! free government should be maintain
ed at every hazard against the rebel
lion because the Republicans in Con-
gress passed the laws to raise armies,
to create navy, to borrow money,
and to appropriate money for the
suppression of the rebellion; because
the Republican party had the wis
dom to pass the legal tender act and
the national bank act, two of the
| greatest and most successful meas
ureS Of the age. We are Republicans
because the Republican party saved
the Union, and not only preserved
free government to our own people,
but gave an impetus to the cause of
freedom throughout the world. We
are Republicans because the Repub-
liCan party emancipated four mil
lions of slaves and gave them equal
rights and the ballot. We are Re-
publicans because the Republican
party has preserved the public credit,
reduced taxation, reduced the public
debt, refunded it at low rate of in
terest, and has resumed specie pay
ments. We are Republicans because
the Republican party, animated by
the most magnanimOuS spirit that
ever influenced people, fOrga e the
enemies of the government, and re-
stored to them the rights of citizen.
ship, forfeited by the rebellion. The
Republican party pensiored the
wounded and disabled soldiers of our
Army and the widows and orphans
of those who fell in the great strug
gle to preseYe the Union. The Re
publican party made provision for
the construction Of a railroad across
the continent, connecting the Mis-
souri, Valley with the Pacific States
The Republican party has encouraged
the growth of the Western States and
Territories by giving homesteadS tC
settlers upon the public lands. The
Republican party has fostered, slim
ulated, diversified and enlarged the
industries of the country by its wise
tariff legislation. The Republican
party is in favor of education and OF
liberal provisions for the support OF
free schools. 1t is in favor of the sup
preston Of polygamy, and has re-
Gently passed a law for the overthrow
of that "tWin relic of barbarism." 1t
is in favor Ofan efficient and honest
administration Of the public service,
and it has proven its faith by its
works. The Republican party Is
opposed to ballOt-bOX stuffing, false
counting, social OstraCiSm, bull doz-
ing, intimi iatiOn, and murder as

A Scrap of History.

In the year Of grace 1862 there was
an election for member of Congress
from the Fifth Congressional District,
which at that time included Mont
gOmery county. In that same year
Hon. Montgomery Blair was MEM
Der of the Cabinet of President Lin
coin, representing therein the State
of Maryland. He was reputed to be
one Of the. most Influential advisers
of the President, and in all matters
pertaining to the State of Maryland
had had almost entire control.
Mr., Blair had his own candidate
for Congress from the Fifth District,
nominated by the Deputy United
States MHrShals, who were under his
influence. The other candidates were
the Hon. Chas. B. Calvert, who was
the Union candidate, and Hon. b. G..
Harris, the Democratic candidate.
On the day Of election each polling
place in our county had a squad of
United States soldiers stationed at it.,
and every citizen offering his vote
was required to take an oath dictated
by General Augur, the General com
handing at Washington. Many of
our citizens, Union men and Demo-
Gratis, unwilling to submit to this in
vasion Of the rights and dignity of
their State. refused to take this oath
and were thereby deprived of their
right of suffrage. Mr. Blair, the rep
rcsentative of the State in the Cabi-
net, uttered no protest against this
outrage upon her constitution, and it
was openly charged by Democrats at
that time that these troops were sent
to the polls to secure the election of
Mr.. BIair's candidate.
Mr.. Blair now seeks to become the
representative of the Sixth District in
Congress. Can it he that Democrats
who remember how forgptrul he was
OF the hOnOf ana dignity 81 IN" state
in former days, can be induced to put
them again in his charge? Has Mr..
Blair ever expressed any repentance
or regret for this action of his ? II Wds
in his po'rer to hare prevented those
troops from u1rading the polling places
of orr state and he failed to do so. He
should have done so or resigned his
seat in Cabinet that ignored the
rights of the loyal State of which he
was the represer tative.
Democrats have voted for Horace
Greeleyand therefore they might vote
for Mr.. Blur if it were not for this
special action of his in a matter so
vial to the honor and interest of the
State.-RochUiUe Mo,atgomerian.

Bogus Tickets.

Election day approaches. The D.r,
ocratc managers everywhere arc
ready with bogus tickets to deceive
the anti Democrat voter into votino
for one or more of the Democrat
candidates. Let every Republican
voter carefully sean his ticket before
hand as to shape, size, and namou
printed thereon. Better to get if tbo
day before election, before the flurrv
of election day itself. and make suro
that it is right. Then, when Won On
to vote, allow no one to touch it. and
see that you deposit that ticket, and
none other.

Whatever causes may exist any
where for local diSsensiOn let every
true Republican bear in mind the
necessity of keeping the control of the

farmer, laborer, mechanic, artizan,

A Danger to be Avoided.

How would The American farmer
like his home market to disappear
How would the American mechanic
like to see his workshop close? How
would the American artisan like to
see skill uncalled for? How would
the American Iaborer like to find
himself ON half time and half wages,
and in luck at that? How would the
merchant like to find his customers
fall off more than 30 per cent in num-
Der and more than 80 per cent. in
their individual purchases ? IIo v
would the physicians like to have
plenty of work and and no paw I?
How would the clergyman like his
congregations to grow thinner and
poorer until the church must be sold
for debt? Yet all these things, and
mole would they see, if Democratic
free trade is to come and curse the
land. None of these should fail to
vote the Republican Congressional
