CLARsBURG, w. VA, Oct. Some
of the most widely known men in the
state is F. N. Richards, editor of the
Telegraph. Richards is pugnacious
and never hesitates to attack an enc.

wonderful command of epithets, and
is noted for his caustic utterances.
He is easily offended, and has had a
tilt with nearly every editor in the
state. Two years ago Richards sus-
pected his wife of infidelity with one
A. G, Osborne. He watched them
and claimed to have secured evidence
of their guilt. He threatened to kill
Osborne, but nothing ever came oft

his wife. She left the place. but re-

A Voice from the Pulpit.

The Rev. John Alabaster, pastor of
Meridian Street Methodist Episcopal
Church, in indianapolis, during his
sermon on Sunday evening, advised
his congregation not to vote for Cleve-
land. He said:
"God forgive that l should be ready
to believe evil of any man, much less
to say it; but if there is any ground
for the oft repeated stories concerning
one of the candidates for the Presi-
dency if thirty ministers in his own
city are not all liars, then this ma
ton is to-day disgraced by the pOlit-
zeal party which nominated him.
Whether all is true or not, the party
have right to insist upon the with
drawal of such a candidate, and the
people of this great Christian land
have a right to protest against EOld-
ing up such an example before the
young men Of America. This is not
question of party; it is a question
of common deceney it is question
that touches every home in the land
it touches every parent, every young
man, every young woman, every
wife and every daughter.

There is one subject of prime i'm
portance during this campaign, and
that is-the Tariff. Upon this Mr..
Cleveland is silent. He sits quietly
on the fence. gazing wistfully at the
White House, wondering whether he
shall ever be obliged to ask his way
to the presidential residence, but his
mouth is locked as regards this ques-
ton. Let us hear something from
the Democratic candidate that will
show that he does some independent
thinking. has an opinion of his own,
and can give a reason for his opinion.

illustration of Democratic economy

illustration of Democratic economy
and reform which comes home to
every tax payer in Garrett county.
and goes to show that whether in
National State or County, Demo-
cratic reform is one and the same
thing. and always has and probably
always will result in increased taxa
ton and the adoption of the vilest
and most corrupt practices which ever
disgraced the history of any political
party on the face of the earth. We
know your interests and ours demand
that the Democratic party shall be
hurled from power in this State, and
that the iron heel of the ring shall be
taken from the necks of the oppres-
sed tax payers, and we earnestly be-
lieve the same interests demand the
continuance of the Republican party
in control of the government. The
Democratic party has betrayed every
trust which has been committed to it
in the past, and you may rest assur-
ed it cannot be trusted now.

The stock in trade of the Democrat.
ic campaign orators is personal defa-
nation and a frezied demand for a
change. Both serve to betray the
weakness OF the Democratic canvass.
Neither seriously demand a reply.
Mr.. Blaine, however, in one of his
admirable two minute speeches,
shows why change at the present
juncture would be a public misfor.
tun e:
There is not one great measure that
the Republican party has adopted,
nor one great step the party has TAX
en-, since the inauguration Of Abra-
ham Lincoln in 1861, that the Demo-
cratic party has not opposed, and has
not considered unconstitutional. So
that to-day to remand the Govern
ment of the United States to the con-
troll of the Democracy is not merely
an ordinary change Of parties. 1t is
a tota. reversal of the entire policy
that has distinguished the Govern
ment of the United States since 1861.
1t is giving to the narrowing dogma
of State rights the precedence in that
grand march which has been made
and which could only be made under
the banner of a broad Nationality.

Democratic Roughs at Wolfsville.

MIDDLETON. Oct, IA Republic
can meeting at Wolfsville, a Demo-
cratic stronghold in the northwestern
part of this valley, was broken up by
Democratic roughs last night. The
speakers, Hon. Louis E. McComas,
of Hagerstown, Hon. G. F. Markell
and Postmaster Miller, of Frederick,
were interrupted by cheers for Cleve.
land and by the bawling and hooting
of the roughs, and curses were show
cred upon the chairman, who was
compelled finally to close the meet
ing. The carriage of Hon, Louis E.
McComas was also stoned as he was
leaving the place. This disgraceful
affair occurred in a section where all
the people were supposed to be civil
lized and are wont to boast of their
refinement. 1t is evident, however,
that some of the Democrats there are
opposed to "free Speech" and the
chairman we'll said in closing the
meeting, that Wolfsyille ought to be
removed to Kemper county, Miss,
where neither free speech nor a free
ballot is tolerated by the political al
lies of the Wolfsville rOughs.

me to know what am saying, The
opinions of James G.. Blaine upon
every question affecting the interests
of our industries, affecting the char

our Government, and its foreign re-

The New York Sun Dem says
"The defeat of Grover Cleveland is
the most important service that can
now be rendered to the Democracy.
"The election of Grover Cleveland
would be the greatest injury that the
Democracy could now be called to
endure.
fortunately, it is now probable
that the service will be efficiently
rendered and the injury prevented"
The Sun predicts that Cleveland
will be beaten $4,000 votes in New

Old Cash" Clay.
Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.


When the Democrats begin to pour
their wrath upon the head of the vet
eran Cassius M. Clay, it is sure sign
that they are being badly urt.--The
speech delivered at Louisville. few
days ago, by the venerable stumper,
has raised the ire ofthe Bourbons and
has caused more than usual inquiry
as to what the fearless old war horse
had to say. He said great deal that
the Democracy does not relish, and
the reason it hurts so much is because
he said nothing but what is true.
AS an early, pronounced and ag-
gressive Abolitionist-as one who did
yeoman service in the cause of human
freedom-his career is we'll known.
Since 1866 he has not been in sympa-
thy with the Republican party, or,
rather, to use his own words, for the
last eighteen years he has been ''im-
ploring the Democrats to become civ
ilized and to abandon their barberous
ideas-to lay down the pistol and the
bowieknife and appeal to reason"
He has lived long enough to learn
that all efforts to civilize and human
ize the Democracy of the South were
vain, and he has given up the task
in disgust. He finds he cannot make
silk purse out of sow's ear.
With respect to the methods pIac-
ticed in the South, and in face of the
party's professions in favor of free
ballot and an honest count, Mr.. Clay
maintains that the solid South enun-
ciates this idea "If you are mean
enough, if you are base enough, i
you are bad enough to vote for the
Republican party, why we won't
trouble you ; but you shall not or
ganize the colored voters of the South !;
and on that we will resist you to the
DEATH" This is not mere assertion,
but a fact clearly demonstrated by
the evidence in the Danville and CO.
piah Investigations, every word of
which Mr.. Clay has read.
In addition to the above valid rea-
sons for leaving "the meanest party
on the face of the EARTH" Mr.. Clay
proclaims for Blaine and Logan be-
cause they represent the party of pro-
tection-the party that stands up for
the American people against the
world. And in this he is not alone.
There are thousands of others all
through the South who, dishearten-
ed and Disguised at the policy and
methods of the Bourbons, are turning
to the Republican party as the only
hope and salvation of the country.
On the question of Southern politics
old "Cash" Clay knows what he is
talking about.

The New York Sun is not Repub-
lican paper. 1t is Democratic, but it
cannot swallow Cleveland and treats
our candidate with common fairness.
The lines quoted below might have
been written by an active supporter
of Mr.. Blaiue. They are Ill reply to
some structures of a Lancaster Demo-
cratic paper:
The observations of the Lancaster
newspaper gives us an opportunity
to speak of two peculiarities which
have distinguished the canvass
against Mr.. Blaine since the Inde-
pendent Republican revolts assumed
in great degree the responsibility
for the preparation of the case against
him. The first popularity is in
the rapidity with which falsehood
after falsehood has been invented
and put in circulation to damage
his cause. and in the disingenu-
Gus pertinacity with which these false
charges have been adhered to in the
face of complete disapproval. The
second popularity is the stupidity
with which legitimate grounds of sus.
picion or criticism have been over
looked and promising lines of inves-
tigation neglected while Mr., Blaine's
accusers have spent their energy in
reiterating charges which the facts
fail to sustain.
Who inYents the false charges
against Mr.. Blaine? There is to all
appearances a Bureau of Defamation
with headquarters either in this
town or in Boston, which furnishes
the Independent Republican press
and its Democratic allies with all the
campaign matter they want, present.
ed in shape as plausible as the Bu-
reau's intellectual capacity can
achieve. With vast field for inves-
tigation and inquiry at hand in Mr..
Blaine's Yariegated career, these stu
pid and maliscious jacksnlpes-who-
ever they may be-prefer to depend
on their own imagination or ingenu-
ity for campaign material. Thus it
happens that they are involving
themselves and the whole anti.
Blaine cause deeper and deeper in
fatuous, helpless mendacity. while
every exploded charge of theirs
counts for Mr.. Blaine by the reaction
created in his favor in the minds of
all citizens who like to see fair play,
The fabricatOrs are doing their best
to encourage the growing belief that
there is nothing at all in any of the
charges affecting Mr.. Blaine's per.
sonal character.

While the States through which
Mr.. Blaine has travelled, are On fire
with the enthusiasm produced by his
presence, the name of Mr.. Cleveland
is hardly ever mentioned save by
the Democratic machine-politician.
There is nothing in the mans record,
political, professional or moral, suffi-
GENTLY important to have justified a
nomination. He is an accident, about
whom not even the ordinary rhetoric
of the times can throw the slightest
flash of glamour. His stock is low.
and descending still lower as the day
of election draws near.

Home again! Governor Cleveland
came into town this morning in the
full baze of day. Not cheer was

So far the cholera in Europe has
slain about 1900 people, and it is still
going on in the work of death. The
large mortality is mostly due to the
ignorance and superstition of the lower
classes, especially in Naples, where
half the deaths have occurred. 1t is
difficult to say when the scOurage
will cease. 1t has spread to so many
places that its repression will be a

Hedging on Ohio.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE very
best evidence of the hopelessness of
Democratic ambition in Ohio next
week lies in the fact that the shouters
for that party are beginning 10 talk
about the great change that is going
to be brought about in that state be-
tween the two elections. Said one of
these unhappy ones to The american
correspondent to-day: "This Octo-
Der vote in Ohio is not for Blaine or
Cleveland, anyway; it is contest
between state tickets, and / would
not be at all surprised to see the Re-
publicans win next week, and then
to see the state go for Cleveland in
November" This is certainly the
expression of forlorn hope. But we
are told that the Buckeye opposition
is not to Republicanism but to Blaine;
a sort of personal animadversion, as
it were, and that Blaine cannot ex-
pect to get as many votes as the Re-
publican state ticket will get. On the
same principle, it may be supposed,
therefore, that the crowds that have
flocked to do honor to Mr.. Blaine
during his trip through Ohio have
been prompted merely by curiosity,
zsI- that they intend to let an Octo-
Der victory presage a November de-
feat. Ridiculous as this idea is, it
plainly shows how completely the
Democracy throw up the sponge as
far as Ohio is concerned. They are
manifesting a great deal of anxiety
about West Virginia, toe. Particu-
larly on account of the hearty man
ner in which Mr.. Blaine has been re-
ceiYed during his brief tour from
Wheeling eastward. The speech made
by him at Grafton yesterday has been
in everybOdy's mind in Washington
to-day. 1t was wonderfully telling
speech, and will no doubt be circula-
ted broadcast through the South,
where it must prove to be a very
strong campaign document. The Har.
per's Ferry meeting tomorrow is
also expected to produce good results
along the line of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. No little interest is
being manifested in this meeting on
the part of the Washington Blaine
and Logan clubs. 1t is thought thai
five or six hundred local Republicans
will go up on the morning train from
here. Another source of uneaSineSs
to the Democratic mind is the situa'
ton in North Carolina. Reports from
that state show that the canvass there
bears very decided indications thai
her vote may be thrown for Blaine
and Logan. Apropos of the Ohio
campaign, Mr.. Secretary Mcpherson
told local reporter this afternoon
that he had information from the Re
publican quarters at Philadelphia thai
one Of the officers of the Democratic
committee of this city was discovered
there in perfecting arrangements fol
sending men to Ohio to vote the
Democratic ticket. A letter has also
been received by Mr.. Mcpherson
from Columbus, Ohio, stating that il
is known here that arrangements are
made for a committee of Democrats
to receive the colonists from Phila
delphia and Baltimore and send then
to different parts of the state. 1t il
the purpose of the Democrats, it il
believed, to send these men to small
towns. where the Republicans are
not expected to be prepared to gree
them.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-10-11

The immense enthusiastic crowds
which greet Blaine and Logan where
ever they appear are the nations re-
ply to the volleys ofslander and abuse
which the Cleveland organs seems to
think 80 effective.
