lantic. If the Independent Repuhli-
cans had the courage of their convic-
tons and plainly stated that they
wanted Mr.. Cleveland elected because
ne was in favor ola policy that would
sacrifice the industries of the United
States in the interest of England.
there would be such popular upris-
ing in favor of Mr.. Blaine that he
would be placed in the Presidential
chair by majority unprecedented in
the history of American politics.
The Independent Republicans are
altogether too cunning to commit the
hlunder of letting the country know
what are their real intentions in sup
porting Mr.. Cleveland. They are.
therefore, trying to keep the question
Of Protection and Free-Trade in the
background. However, no intelli-
gent voter can fail 10 see that when
the polls close on the 4th of next No
vember great battle will have been
fought that VIII have decided wheth.
err the policy of Protection or Free.
Trade will be triumphant for the
next four years.
Every American who is loyal to
tie best interests of his country will
take his stand on the side of Protec-
ton. IfthiS is true of the ordinary
American. how much truer is it ofan
Irish American who, besides the mo-
tiYes that should actuate every Amer
lean in opposing Free-Trade, has the
superadded one of hatred for the
country that has done its hest to rob
and enslave the race to which he be-
longs.
Now, Blaine stands for Protection
Cleveland for Free-Trade. A vote
for the former means a vote for the
protection and developement Of
American industries vote for the
latter means vote in favor Of enrich
ing England at the cost of the United
States.
Reader, we have placed before you
in plain terms the meaning of vote
for Blaine or Cleveland. We nov
leave it to your own sense Of patriot
ism to decide which candidate yoI
will support.

To Get There.

The goodwork at Cumberland, Md,
goes merrily on and the reunion of
those who in time which tried mems
souls stood shoulder to shoulder will
beyond question be the largest and
most enjoyable known since the Or
ganization of tie Society of the Army
of West Virginia. 1t is an old and
time-worn saying that nothing is be-
ing left undone md that sort Ofthing,
but in this instatce it is the positive
fact. and every man, woman and
child in the place appear to act as if
there was but one thing in life and
that the success of tie affair from be
ginning to end. InthiS respect the
B. & O. is not whit behind and its
extensive arrangement for transport
ing the thrOng to and from Cunber-
land and also for the 9rieS Of grand
excursions to follow thu reunion are
based upon a plan of llerality which
cannot be too highly praised. No
railway line in the country can com.
pare with the Baltimore and Ohio in
historic and pictureSquein interest, and
to an old soldier its Valley Division
is simply beyond compare. From
Harper's Ferry up the Shenandoah
on either hand for mile after mile it
is,aIl historic ground, the battle fields
of the past To them will be run
special excursion trails at very low
rates Offare, and combined with all
will he the visit to the wonderful
ayerns of LurAy, than which Nature
'nEver vouchsafed mortal man more
amazing eccentricities of develop
ment.
To Luray alone the cost ofthe whole
trip would be much more than re-
paid but when adding the visit to
the battle fieldsand the almost count
less attractions of the two days trip,
the FIVE dollars expense for railroad
fare becomes comparatively insignifi-
cant.
The reunion opens September ID
and continues three days. The B. &
0. throws open its entire system,
main line, division and branches, to
the exceptionally low rates of one
half fare, or one fare for the round
trip. These tickets go on sale the
9Oth of this month, and will be sold
good for the trip to Cumberland up
to and including the 4th of Septem
Der. For return passage they will he
good up to and including September
9Th. That is to say, one can purchase
these low rate tickets and have ten
days limit upon them for the return.

The Republican County C0nven-
ton for Garrett county met at the
Court House on Tuesday last, and
elected delegates to the Congression-
al Convention at Cumberland. The
delegates Of this county were instruct
ed for McComas, the present incum-
bent, who is a great favorite with our
people. AS we go to press while the
Cumberland convention is in session,
we, of course, cannot give its pro-
ceedings In detail, but we may safely
predict the nomination of Hon. l.. E
McComas by reclamation, as all the
counties In the district have declared
in his favor. Mr.. McComas has shown
himself peculiarly fitted for the posi-
ton he holds. He has ably discharg-
ed his arduous public duties and at
thesame time has always looked after
even the smallest details of private
matters for his numerous constitu-
ents, never losing sight of the fact
that he represented all the people OF
his district. By pursuing manly
straightforward course he has held
the old friends and gathered around
himself host Of others. all of whom

The unkindest cut Cleveland has re.
eeived since he was nominated comes
from the London Times, perhaps the
most influential paper in England.
Many of our readers will remember
how that journal praised Cleveland's
nomination. How delighted 1t was
with the free trade notions of our
modern Democracy. They will re-
member too how all the Democratic
dudes in the land were cheering old
England. swearing allegiance to her
free trade policy, and saying let
American manufactures and Ameri-
can laborers 60 to the demnition bow
vows. We don't care so long as we
have English snobs and the London
Times on our side. But now things
are changed, and the aforesaid dude
Democrats are shocked because the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.



WAsHINGToN. D. c., Aug. %, 1884.
The Cleveland boom, so far as the
Independent part of it is concerned,
has struck huge snag. Mr.. Bowen
of the New York Independent, who
was quite able to digest Mr. Beech
er's TiItonian escapadeS, cannot begin
to stomach the lecherous atrocities of
the Democratic candidate, and he
goes back on him with the most vi.
cious determination. There are hun
dreds nf others in New England and
elsewhere whose adherence of Mr..
| Blaine'S nomination has been chang
ed to an increased disgust at the nom
inatiOn by the Democrats of man
of whom it was said that he possess
ed all the virtues and none of the
! vices of the common herd. If there
is anything more nauseating than
| CIevPland's Offpnse against chastity,
it is the weak, yacillating aud humili-
ating apologies made in his behalf
and these by such immaculate saints
in politics as George William Curtis,

day School editors of Massachusetts.

who would have strung Shepherd up

now preparing to give him Il right
