One of "Bob'' Ingersoll's religious
heresies: II tell you, women are more
faithful than men. never saw a man
pursue his wife into the very ditch and
dust of degradation and take her in his
arms. never saw man stand at the
shore where she had been morally
wrecked waiting for the waves to bring
back even her corpse to his arms; but /

The Republican Nomination
for President.

Mr.. Blaine by the skiIful management
of his friends and by the popular en-
thusiasm excited by his name, has cap
tured the Chicago convention and is
before the country as the nominee of
the Republican party for the Presiden-
cy. His nomination upon the whole
has been received by the Democrats
with qualification, not because they
would choose him il they had their
choice among Republicans, but because
they think his nomination makes New
York with its 80 electoral votes certain
for their own nominee. Indeed, if the
Republican party must hold the gov
eminent for another term, Democrats
generally would have preferred Mr. Ar
thur we think. His administration has
been conservative, and personally lie
has been agreeable and courteous to all
classes of people. We Of the South
have kindly feeling for him, because
never since his accession to the presi-
dency has he used an unkind word to-
wards the Southern people, and he has
favored all the enterprises which have
been proposed for the development of
our section. We are free to confess
that we should have liked to see the
Republicans take again such very res
pectable and unexceptional man. But
Blaine has won the battle. Will lie be
elected ? If the Democrats make jul
diciOus nomination in our Judgment he |
will not. He can not carry the strictly |
independent vote, nor can he carry the
independent Republican vote. His
nomination has already evoked express
sions from States which can be turned
by these independent voters, sufficient
to demonstrate the fact. The following
influential Republican journals have
declared that they will not support him
New York Post, New York Herald,
Harper's Weekly, Puck, Evening Tele-
gram, Brooklyn Union, Rochester Post
Express, Rochester Herald, Flushing
Times, Boston Advertiser, Boston
Transcript, Boston Herald, Springfield
Philadelphia Times, Chi
cago Times, Chicago News, and New
Haven News. The reason that this
large section of Mr.. Blaine's own party
refuse to support him is that his record
q not clean. He went into Congress a
ooor man and with no profession or
means ola livelihood outside of poll
les, and after a twenty years service in
hat body he comes out of it million
Eire. Mr.. Blaine is very brilliant and
parsonage, but all the CLAM
,ur thrown over his career cannot and
will not Disguise the fact that his char
cter and career have been that of a
obber. This, we think will be made :
lain enough before the campaign pro-
resses far, and the enthusiasm shown
y bis followers instead. of spreading
yer the country will grow beautifully
,es by degrees. Any sound Democrat
Statesman with a clean personal re-
>rd, can, we think beat him. Mr.. Til 4
Ell could certainly doit.

seems that when he got on the wall that en-

Mr.. L. l.. Miller, superintendent of the
Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company,
is in Westminster canvassing among the citl-
zens for subscribers and arranging to estab-
lish a telephone exchange here. 1t is pro-
posed to bring the line from the Frederick
connections BY way of Union Bridge and
Uniontown to Westminster. Work on this
will be commenced on Monday, and until the
line is constructed from here to Baltimore
direct, communication can be had with that
city by way of Frederick. 1t is, also, to have
lines run to all the important points in Car
roll, SO that there can be easy and rapid com
munication.
There is no place of like population in the
world, perhaps, that needstelephone commu-
nication more than Westminster. tits nearly
two miles long, and it is quite journey from
one end to the other, and it is often quite in
convenient for business men to make 1t. The
telephone would annihilate distance, and bus
mess conversations could be held by means
of il lust as we'll as though the parties were
in the same room.
Mr.. Miller has gotten quite number OF
subscribers, and it is probable enough will be
obtained to warrant the company In estab-
fishing an exchange. Every drug store and
every physician should have telephone con-
nection, and also every prominent business
man. The County Commissioners should
have connection at the Court House for the
use of the courts, clerks Office, register OF
wills office, for the school board, sheriff, and
for their own office. When the lines are es-
tablished throughout the county, much time
and money could be saved to the county by
the use of the telephone and individuals in get,
ting witnesses and others to attend court.
/ The line would be advantageous to the county
/ in many ways. 1t would be advantageous to the
citizens in many ways, and 1t is hoped that
the people viii agree to use telephones and
have the lines constructed. Hagerstown and
| Frederick have them in successful operation,
and even small places like diminishing and
| Mechanjcstown have exchanges. In Emmitts
burg there are twenty-five subscribers.

The heaviest rain of the season visited us

appearances there will be bountiful crop.
Corn is coming up regularly in our locality,
and some of our farmers are narrowing the
early planting.
Our road supervisors are at work, and we
hope our commissioners will give them the

well supported, they will not be able to make
