eStaDlsn q telephone line from rroSt-
burg to Sang Run oia Elbow.
The Salt River packet started up
stream yesterday afternoon immediate
ly after the PRONUNCIATION of the Of
fetal vote. Several passengers much
"indispogsd."
The weather was nearly all that
that could be desired for the gentle
men who carried away majorities.
For those who got left it was shade
below desirable.
Many of the early returns were
much too prior. Some of the later re-
ports devastated a few proposed conse-
quences. Both sides suffer from the
hasty tardiness of statistic fiendish-
ness.
~ Much depends upon the location of
your party hamlet to determine how
exquisitely you enjoy the victory.
We know a man, however, who re-
joiees every time somebody "gets
beat"
The late, contest was marked by less
feeling than we ever observed in
Frostburg. Republicans and demo-
Gratis consorted together like "brethren
dwelling in unity" This determines
one advantage of mutual desire to
splice tickets.
The "paster" committed fearful
ravages upon the regular ticket. Hun
dreds were horribly splotched by alien
prenomens and patronymics. The
worst instances to be cited are those of
putting a candidate for the House Of
Delegates under the head of County
Commissioners. The intelligent voters
who did this failed to elect him to
either office.
The telephone is marvel of
convenience to the people of Frest-
burg, especially when Homecoming gets
control of the line and monopolizes it
all of forenoon after the day of a
close election.
Mrs. Henry Wood is the author of
novel entitled "Within a Maze" A
Cumberland gentleman stole the
title, not the novel, in answering
question Wednesday afternoon con-
cerning the Judgeship.
"How's Your Beloved Family ?"
eloped Wednesday afternoon with
"How Does Our Ticket Run Out
Your Way7"
One bet made was paid before the
election. Several others remain un-
paid and will probably continue in
that state of health.
Some of the retirements from public
life are tinged with pathos too dismal
for people with future. Where one
did all he could, supplemented by the
best support of his known friends,
there should be entire satisfaction
with the result.
One candidate says he wouldn't
"take it so hard" but he was so certain
of being elected. "Jess So"
ga close CALL" remarked Mr.. Hoff-
man to Mr.. Mcmillan. "Quite close"
said Mr.. Men,, looking across towards
Mr.. Richmond. "Kery close" added
the last named gentleman. Judge
Coulehan fully conceded with Mr..
Richmond, probably more so.
Nobody appears to understand why
Mr.. Rouzer entertains such an unkind
feeling toward Mr.. Dick. Four years
ago the same thing occurred, but then
the people did it-not Mr.. Rouzer.
The Mine Inspectorship might be
given to one of the 292 democrats (P)
who voted for Mr.. Grove, but did not
vote for McLans. Better not let the
governor know anything about that,
however.
Mr.. Price, q newspaper man, anger
ed some of his Cumberland confreres.
Incorporate temperance is alleged.
Now, let us go to work.
''Pete" writes to the Homecoming
Reuieac that he is "Lonely Tonight"

Some Mohammedan seers predicted
that the world would end Thursday.
Two days too early. Besides, Butler
and Malone are not the world.
Politics may be the salvation of the
nation, but it is death to manual labor
at least one day in the year. The true
plan would seem to be a quiet, freez-
ing vote for the regular ticket then go
home and make some preparation for
the balance of the winter.
The clark horse" is already Begin
ing to neigh softly to himself some
thing pleasant about two years hence.
The orator of the barn-door and
windmill type is resting. 1t is to be
hoped his temporary retirement will
not be interrupted by any suit for dam
ages brought by the English language.
Eckha't Etchings. s.-The people of
