tending the Republican meeting at the Court
House in Westminster and applauding the

ing it bipartisan appearance
9th. Did not one of them write to Demo

inquiry of how temperance Democrats ought
to vote in this election, to vote the whole Re
publican ticket?
It'll. Did not they 60 to the telegraph office,
Westminster, to hear the returns the night OF
the municipal election in Baltimore? And ii
so, will they tell the public what principle OF
temperance was involved in that contest?
8th We're not two of them at the Republi-

EthiOpien on the night of the 9th of Novem-

9th. Is this conduct becoming to christian
