A BIG SUCCESS
IN THE NATTER OF FINAL RESULTS,
Was The StOckmens Meeting This
Week.
The Proceedings in Full.

Several weeks since n number Of citizens
OF Medicine Lodge and Barbour county cen
crived the idea of inviting the stockmen of
this growing section of the state to
assemble in this city, that they might have
the opportunity of counseling together
about the years business to begin In the
spring, fix the time for round-ups, etc, A
meeting Of citiZcss was held and Wednes-
day and Thursday, March 2Sth, and 29th,
was selected rs an appropriate time for the
meeting. a committee of general ar
Engagements was appointed to arrange the
details and appoint subcommittee.
From time TO time these various commit
tees have held meetings and so well con-
Quoted their labors that the gathering in
session here will undoubtedly be declared
success. The attendance is not large,
but those present are men who have come
here to attend to business. A glance at
the assembly yesterday afternoon was con.
yincing that there is a greater amount of
Intelligence among the stockmen than en-
gagged In any other occupation In this state.
They are not a talkative lot of men, how
ever, and solid work rather than speech
making Is their fort. a..t g.

The Next Governor.

The names Of all the gentlemen spoken
of in connection with that high office have
been presented to the consideration of the
public through the Journals of the state.
What has been said, 50 far was simply
sufficient to introduce them to the electors,
without going to the extent of special
championship in any particular case, except
that of the Hdgerstoon Nail, which has
very imprudently urged the denomination
of Gov. Hamilton. This is eminently
proper. The public have been made ac-
duainted with these gentlemen, but at the
same time left entirely free to canvass their
individual merits and availability, without
having their judgment BIASED or their
opinions forestaled by journalistic favorlt-
ism. The electors are competent to make
their own selection, either from among
those already named, or from among those
who have not yet been presented to the
public. What is required is, that there
shall be no undue pressure In behalf OF
any one; no plotting OF scheming OF cllques
or cabals in any quarter, but the free choice
of the people bodied forth in their chief
standard bearer, and in the entire ticket.
Anv other course will insure certain defeat.
This is well understood. Perfect fairness
in the choice of a candidate is not only
duty. but stern necessity, and a condition
precedent to success. TO win success there
must not only be harmony in the selection
of candidates, but they must be taken from
among the best men, men OF character SUI
fcient to command the support Of the
party they are called upon to serve Ii
these conditions are observed, there will be
harmonious action, united party, full
vote, and complete victory. Without them
there will be inevitable defeat, for never In
the history of parties in this country was
there manifest such determination among
the people to take the direction OF affairs
into their own hands. Any suspicion,
even, Of any other course Of proceeding
would be fatal What, then, is the dictate
of prudence and common sense under such
Il state of affairs? 1t is for the rank and
file of the party to pursue only such course
as will surely lead to victory, and to avoid
even the semblance of anything that would
lead to an opposite result. There must
be, on the part of all, perfect self abnega-
ton, and an honest effort for the general
GOOD and for the success Of the party In
stead of individual success. The candidate
for Governor, or for any other office within
the gift of the people, who thrusts himself
forward, or who is thrust forward by over
Jealous and inconsiderate friends, this fall,
is in imminent danger of defeat. This fact
being patent to all, all should goyernthem-
selves accordingly.

The Press on the Governor.

In this issue will be found several eX-
tracts from the Maryland press on state
politics. They are vigorous and strong
articles, particularly the one from the Hag-
crstown Ners, which gives in brief few
of the leading acts and characteristics OF
Governor Hamilton. The Ne,cs tells not
half He has been ambitious for office
ever since he attained his majority, and
when not holding place he has sulked and
rendered the party no service. Masking as
a reformer. he has done nothing but stir
up strife. Under the pretence of being
for the people against bosses and rings, he
has attempted Il bossism and the establish
ment of ring of his favorites, with him
self as chief, never before known i'll Mary
land. He has created an impression that
the state and its finances were going to
ruin, when no such calamity existed or cx-
lists. The necessity for new registration
law was one of his fancies, backed by a
Republican hue and cry. There was no
necessity for such law, and it was but one
of the masks he put on to divert attention
whilst he laid plans to break down trusted
leaders. The party, he attempted to create
the belief was disorganized and badly man.
aged. a fact that, remarks the Port Tobac-
co Times, was disproved by the unprece-
denied majority given the Governor in
1879 That majority was nearly % 200,
but within three years, by his unfounded
charges against his party, by his acts and
by his utterances, that majority last fall
was less than five thousand Since his
last coming upon the political field, his
party has nearly lost the Senate, lost heav
ily in the House, several counties have been
rescued from us by the Republicans, and
the Judiciary has become partly Republi-
can. As the Hagerstown Ners justly re-
marks, there can be no harmony nor sue
cess until Governor Hamilton is retired,
and he must be. To talk of his re-nomi-
nation, is to discuss an impossibility. None
but those entirely devoid of political sagac
ity or avowed enemies of the party, can for
one moment consider such proposition.

Colored Men to Meet.

A call has been signed for national con-
vention of the colored race to meet in Wash
ington in September. The basis of represen-
tation is one delegate i'll every 25,000. This
will give convention of about three hundred
members. Maryland will be represented.
The call is based upon the declaration of the
signers that it is IAN undeniable and lament
able fact that the present condition of the race
is insecure and the future still more alarming"
Itismeant to give expression to the discomfort
with the political and social treatment Of the
coored race by their fellow citizens. The
signcrs conclude their call as follows: SAC
cording to the signs of the times, the country
is on the eve of great political revolution,
and it behooves us, as a race, to make our in
terests paramount to those Of any party or
sect; that is duty to unite and strike on:
some bold policy and line of action which will
bring us nearer to the estate of full citizenship
and powerwhen this great revolution is over

''The Outlook from the State Capital
makes the friends of Governor Hamilton San
guine over his prospects for denomination.
The friends of the Governor, however, are
very scarce-not numerous enough to carry
a precinct in the state.
c. Irving Dirty in letter to Port Tobac-
co paper gives his reasons ut length why he
could not support Hart Holton for Congress
last fall. He was so disguised by the manner
i'll which the primaries were conducted, he
could not consciously vote for Mr.. Holton.
His conscience did not prevent him, however,
from contributing funds to assist in eleeting

An election was held on Monday for a
member of the Second Branch of the Bal
timore City Council, for the fifteenth and
sixteenth wards, to fill vacancy caused by
the death of Councilman Mooney. Both
wards are Republican, the fifteenth by 33S
and the sixteenth by 1902, on last falls
congressional vote The Democratic can
didate was Henry n. Richers, and the Re
publican nominee George W. Perkins, col
ored. The result was that Richers received
1888 votes and Perkins 260, giving a
Democratic majority of 1923. The col
ored man and brother has another evidence
that the Republican party has need only for
his vote-there is no Office, except very
mental ones, for him.

party Our contemporary will perceive that
we do not desire to enter now into any re-
ordinations in relation to the Governor s
policy. It's difficult. however, to see wherein
the party that elected the Governor by over
Is 900 majority needed any salvation at his
hands; and it must be conceded that the plan
of salvation adopted by him of arraigning, its
policy for decade previous in public ha-
rangue, was rather an unusual one. The
general opinion which has prevailed with re-
gard to the "bombshell," has been that its
sole purpose was to compass the defeat OF
Mr. Heating, and thus give the Governor
control of the Board of Public Works. In
fact we believe the contemporary issues of
the Mail were authority for that view. The
general opinion has also been that IT was Il
very i'll considered and bungling attempt To
accomplish that end, which fully deserved
the signal failure it met.

Torn to Death by a Dog.

On Friday of last week little boy, the son
of Frank Mccormick miner, living in Shen
andoah, Pa, wandered into the yard of a
neighbor, in corner of which was chained a
large dog The child's attention was attracted
by the barking of the animal, and he limo
Gently approached the dog to pat it. The
brute suddenly sprang on the little fellow,
sank his teeth deep into his face and dragged
him into its kennel. The dog then be-
came furiously mad, and forthwith began to
gnaw and tear the child, who was too
much exhausted and frightened to give an
alarm. The terrible noise, however, was
heard by the inmates of the house, who,
quickly running to the dog house, were hor-
rifed to find their neighbours child terribly
mutilated on the floor and in dying condi-
ton. His face, head and hands presented a
sickening sight. The body was removed to
his home, where he died in very short time
afterwards. The infatuated animal was quickly
put to death. Its owners are unable to ac
count for its attack on the child, as he was
never known to be cross, but, on the contrary,
always exhibited gentleness toward children.

Fires in Adams County, Pa.

The Compiler says On Friday morning
about 2 o'clock the mill of Mr.. Tempest c.
Noel formerly Senft's, then Hershy on
Little Conowago, in Oxford township, two
miles north of Mount Rock, was found to be
on fire; and although an immediate alarm met
with a prompt response by the neighbors, the
mill and its valuable contents were consumed.
The total loss is Put at from six to eight
dollars, including grain and flour
belonging to neighboring farmers, and about
120 bushels of wheat, corn, &c., to Mr. Noel.
The cider mill adjoining was also destroyed,
and summer house across the road on the
Hostetter farm. The origin of the fire is I'M
known, but is attributed to friction of the ma
chinery Two milers sleptin the mill They
secured the books and trunk, but upon open
ing an inside door found the whole lower floor
in flames, and were compelled to save them
selves and abandon what they were carrying.
A letter to the star and Sentinel from New
Oxford, says: Another fire occurred in this
place on Saturday evening. Shortly after
dark an alarm of fire was sounded, caused by
the burning of large stable owned by the
Misses Miley. Nothing was saved; two cows,
some poultry, several tons of hay and straw,
&C., large pig pen, hen house
and fencing, all burnt. 1t was calm, and the
exertions of citizens saved other buildings not
far off. There was no insurance. 1t is not
known how the fire originated, but it must
have been the work of an incendiary, as none
of the family were near the stable after sunset
