THE ELECTION.

The late election in this State shows
very clearly that the people took no inter-
est in the candidates aud cared very little
about the result. Not more than half OF
the Democratic vote Of the State was
polled. This county would have given Mr..
Wilson ], 800 majority, ifthe voters had
turned out. This PRECINCT wanted 3O4
votes of its usual number. There is i les
son in this and unless the Democratic par
~ show more discretion in the selection
of candidates hereafter and consult more
the wishes of the people instead of follow
ING the movements and biddings OF few
political wire-workers who care nothing
about the Interests of the people at large
and are incapable ofcxercising awise dis
erection in politics, at the next election,
the State will be lost 60 tie party. Let
the party hereafter select the best men 1t
can COMMAND to fill the various positions
desired and not be bound down TO few
aspirants who may for weeks and months
before the meeting OF the several nominal
ting conventions Use every effort possible
TO forcstall the action of the conventions
in securing their own nominations. Let
the old principle that formally prevailed
i'm the selection of candidates again come
to the front and let "the office seek the
man and not the man the office" Until
this is done we cannot expect to secure
the Hearty cooperation OF the people or
arouse any enthusiasm i'll the political
campaigns. The representatives that 80
to the legislature under so many promises
given to individuals and cliques to secure
their nomination cannot feel as free to
discuss and vote for measures rs they 9TH
erwise would.
The Congressional contest in THE dis
trict is very close one. The latest intel
ligencc makes te-vote between Wilson
AMI Mason Could the election 5c held
over Mr.. Wilson wonld carry the district
by 500 majority.

DER. GEARD DEAD.

A DELICATE OPERATION WHICH RESULT
ED FATALLY-SLErCH OF HIS LIFE AND
Work.
Rev, Thomas Guard, Il prominent Balt-
more Methodist minister, well-kpOwn
throughout the United States, died III that
city on Sunday morning. For nearly five
wears Mr.. Guard had been a sufferer from
calculus of the bladder. AT times his
sufferings from this trouble were intense,
and he finally resolved upon al operation
hoping that it might furnish permanent
relief from the pain. Such an operation
was performed OF Tuesday last by that
skillful surgeon, Prof. Allan L. Smith,
aud a'stone about as large us pigeons
erg was removed from his bladder. The
operation seemed completely successful,
and relief seemed TO come ut once. On
the "Wednesday following the operation
Mr.. Guard seemed much better, and on
Thursday, too, his condition was such rs
to give his family and friends good cause
for believing that permanent relief had
been secured. Thursday night, however,
there was decided change for the worse,
and all 1T once his strength seemed TO
give way and succumb to the strain that
had been placed upon it, he finally
breathing his last as above stated.
Thomas Guard was born in Ireland, and
was the SON of Wesleyan Methodist
preacher. His faith intended him for Il
mercantile life, and he was educated to
that eud. The son, however, chose the
religious profession, ana entorod The MN
istry Of the Wesleyan Methodist Church
of Ireland. Before he enter ed upon his
ministry he married, early in life, in
Dublin. His wife was a relative of the
late Bishop Kcrfoot, of The z. K. diocese
of Pittsburg. lie was noted for his re-
markable cioquencc us preacher and for
his success us Il minister. Mr.. Guard
leaves five SONS and two daughters. The
oldest son, Reginald, is married and lives
in San Francisco. All the rest of the
children were at his beside ut his death.

eeived show Il net democratic gain of 49,

from will it is estimated, increase the
democratic majority TO about 10000. The
congressional delegation will likely stand
ii democrats and republicans. Various
excuses are made by the Republican party
for the great change, but the fact is The
people have become heartily tired of fraud,
corruption, and the squandering of the
peoples lIard-earned money. More
changes will be made i'll the November

bad faith, in placing at the head of the

A sure cure for Blind, Bleeding Itch

remedy,) called DR.. Williams Indian
Ointment. 4 single box has cured the
worst chronic cases of 25 or SO years
standing. No one need suffer five
minutes after applying this wonderful
soothing medicine. Lotions, instru-
ments and electuaries do more harm
than good Williams Ointment alb
serbs the tumors, allays the intense
itching, particularly at night after
getting warm iii bed,) acts as a poul-
iice, gives instant and painless relief,
and is prepared only for Piles, itching
of the private parts, and for nothing
