rs The large and fashionable watering places
along the Atlantic coast, says the Philadelphia
Record, are suffering from an unusually dull sea-
son. The little villages along the seashore, with
their comfortable but cheap hotels, and their care
lessness of Fashions requirements, are we'll filled
with seekers for rest and salt air. There appears
to be ground for the suspicion that the fash
ionable watering place business is slightly over
done. The number does not proportionately in

sive charges demanded by the costly establish.
ments that have sprung up of late years wherever
the tents of Fashion have CHANGED to be pitched
for summer or two. There are almost as many
big summer hotels as there are swell customers
and guests. The collapse of some of these huge
concerns certifes to American good sense instead
of portending general disaster.

CLEvELAND'S LETTER OF ACCEPT
ANCE.

The babe in the woods has been heard from at
last. The letter of Butler, accepting the nomina-
ton of the Labor party for the Presidency, pub
lished on Monday, was the key that unlocked the
safe deposit company's vault that had securely
held the letter of Gov. Cleveland for the past few
weeks. 1t is an exceedingly common place affair,
exhibiting in its entirety utter lack of ability
and craftsmanship. 1t is self evident proof of
the incOmpetency of the Democratic candidate to
to his own party or the great body of the people
generally. His assertion that the Presidents but
the sheriff of the people has recalled the time when
he was sheriff of Buffalo and made the Office more
profitable to himself than any of his predecessors
had done. As far as his vouchers show he charged
more for hanging criminals and for his services
before the courts than any other sheriff; even his
twenty-fve-cent gifts to the newsboys were
charged to and paid by the county.
His assertion of well-known truths are fiat
contradiction and an open arraignment of his own
course as accidental Governor of the great State
of New York when he says ga Government is not
by the people when one party fastens its control
upon the country and perpetuates its power by
cajolery and then betraying the people instead of
serving them" He cajoled the labor element of
the State of New York in his letter of acceptance
as a candidate for Governor and then mercilessly
betrayed them into the hands of the monopolists
and great corporations.
He says that cheap and easy transportation
should be literally fosered, while as Governor Of
New York he is publicly charged by the farmers
of that State with having violated positive pledges
of fidelity to the peoples interests by selecting
two Railroad Commissioners identified with rail-
way corporations, and Commissioner of Public
Works who is charged with running the Erie
Canal the cheap water- Of the S4-.--''. 49,.
interest of the railroads by letting it get much
out of repair that it mus. soon be entirely aban-
doned.
Every profession he makes in his letter is
fragrant lie to his every practice sheriff, mayor
Governor during the brief period of his official
life. Between the lines of his common place letter
of acceptance the evidence Of his consciousness of
defeat in November is plainly seen, and therefore
he has no principle to advocate, no broad views
to present, and no policy to lay down by which
his party could be guided. In the language of
one of his most enthusiastic supporters "the Dem
ocratic party is very hungry, and as you may
we'll believe, thirsty-a party without single
definite principle; party without any distinct
National policy which it dares to present to the
country; party which fell from power as a con-
spiracy against human rights, and now attempts
to sneak back into power a conspiracy for plum
der and spoils.'
Grover Cleveland's letter of acceptance is an ex-
act copy of the above description. No principle,
no policy, but conspiracy against human rights
and for plumber and spois.

Ns-John Q. A. Herring, Esq, has been select
ed as manager of the Adams Express Company
in Baltimore, place made vacant by the death
of Saml NJ. Shoemaker. Mr.. Herring has been
connected with this company for more than thirty
years and it is highly gratifying to his hosts of
friends that his valuable services have been thus
recognized. He has received scores of congratula-
the country, showing in what esteem he is every
where held. Mr.. Herring is gentleman in every
way qualified to discharge the important duties
of that responsible office, being thoroughly faml-
lar with the business of this great company, and
therefore the selection was an eminently proper
one. We cordially add our congratulations to the
others that have been showered upon him.

gss-Wehave before spoken of the high esteem ~
in which Ben Butler is now held by the DEM
ocratic press, and the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, not desiring to be outdone,
pays his respects to the Widow in the following
glowing terms: "To him notoriety is fame, and
mischiefis the happiest ofpastimes. A conscience
of leather, cheek of brass, renegade from every
party in existence, he is the high tariff candidate
of the anti-monopolists, the millionaire candidate
of the workingmen. He is probably the slyest
demagogue and the biggest humbug that ever
appeared in American politics." And yet this
same Ben Butler was delegate from Massachu-
sets to the National Democratic convention and
was one of the biggest men in that body

WHICH WILL YOU VOTE FOR-PROTEC-
TON OR FREE-TRADEq
Lish World dem.


Every intelligent American citizen, lifting him
self above party trammels before, ought to voting
weigh well the consequences of the election or the
defeat of the candidates that the Republican
party and the so-called Independent Republicans
have presented to the ten million American cti-
who will register their will at the polls next
November. 1t will be noticed we say nothing of
q Democratic candidate. Cleveland has been
nominated by the Independent Republicans and
therefore, the contest is narrowed down to whether
the standard bearer of the Republicans or the
standard bearer of the Independent Republicans
shall be elected next November.
Now, what is the real issue between the Repub-
licans and the Independent Republicans, alias
Democrats? We believe answer this question
when we say that the election will decide whether
the Government at Washington for the next four
years will favor the policy of Protection Free
Trade.
The supporters of Mr.. Cleveland will do their
best to make it appear that the voter casting his
ballot for their candidate is not voting for Free
Trade. They will do this because they dare not
openly ask the American people to sacrifice their
trade and their manufactures in order that Eng.
lish manufactured goods may find a market on
this side of the Atlantic. If the Independent Re-
publicans had the courage of their convictions
and plainly stated that they wanted Mr.. Cleve-
land elected because he was in favor of policy
that would sacrifice the industries of the United
States in the interest of England, there would be
such popular uprising 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 blunder of letting
the country know what are their real intentions
in supporting Mr.. Cleveland. They are, there
fore, trying TO keep the question of Protection
and Free Trade in the background. However,
no intelligent voter can fail to see that when the
polls close ON the 4th of next November great
battle will have been fought that will have de-
cided whether the policy of Protection or Free
Trade will be triumphant for the next four years.
Every American who is loyal to the best in
side of Protection. If this is true of the ordinary
American, how much truer is it of an Irish Ameri-
can who, besides the motives that should actuate
every American in opposing Free Trade, has the
superadded one of hatred for the country that has
done its best to rob and enslave the race to which
he belongs.
Now, Blaine stands for Protection; Cleveland
for Free Trade. A vote for the former means a
vote for the protection and the development of
American industries; q vote for the latter means
a vote in favor of enriching England at the cost
of the United States.
Reader, we have placed before you in plain
terms the meaning of vote for Blaine Cleve-
land. We now leave it to your sense of
patriotism to decide which candidate you will
support.

@-The indianapolis Sentinel, a specimen
Democratic sheet of the West, was the author of
most outrageous scandal, involving Mr.. Blaine
and his family. As soon as the matter was brought
to Mr.. Blaine's attention he at once telegraphed
the most prominent law firm in that city to at
ceinstitute proceedings for criminal libel against
the filthy sheet, and the editor now finds himself
in position from which he would be only too glad
to escape Prominent Democrats of Indianapolis
are loud in their denunciations of the Sentinel,
and freely admit that the charge is base SANDER.

@-Mr. Handy, of The Philadelphia Press,
".,.-- W MS papS. f.V.-- Do. nsrpVr: As Ior the
Maine Democracy, if they were not urged on by
their brethren of other States I really doubt
whether there would be any show of opposition
in Maine this year. The general feeling is that
Maine should not appear to throw a stumbling
block in the way of her favorite son. On all sides
hear Democrats say that they will either vote
for Blaine or not vote at all. It is necessa ry,
however, to maintain the organization and keep
the party in fighting trim; SO the lines are drawn
for pitched battle in September and after that,
by general consent, it will be go-as-you-p please
race, with no effort to keep down the November
majority"

N9-A correspondent of the Democratic New
York Sun propounds the following question to its
editor:
"What are your reasons for refusing to support
Cleveland?
He is not fitted (says the Sum to be President
either by intelligence, personal qualities, expert
ence, public services. He has some good points,
but his deficiencies are many and very serious.
He has done nothing to deserve such reward as
the Presidency, the greatest in the gift of the
American people. With such candidate defeat
is better for the party than success.

ES> The Republicans of Hartford held their
county convention on Wednesday, and elected five
delegates to the Congressional convention which
meets at Waverly, Baltimore county, on the 2Sth
inst. The delegates were not instructed but it
they vote for Col. 7. G. Blair. Col. E. II. Web
ster and Hon. E. M. Allen made speeches, the
former speaking for upwards of an hour, and there
was much enthusiasm for Blaine and Logan. The
party in Hartford is united and in first-class fight

there in November.

THE COMING FAIR.

Preparations are being actively made for the
annual fair at Timonium. The track has been put
in order and the grounds and buildings are in pro-
cess Of renovation and repair wherever needed
More interest seems to prevail than is usual this
length of time in advance of the fair, and the
officers report that inquiries for information, pre-
MUM lists, et,, show that public attention is be-
ing drawn to this popular local event all through
the county.
The schedule of prizes has been enlarged by the
addition of many new items, and the date of the
exhibition, nearly a month later than has been
generally chosen, will have the effect of charging
the display of some classes of products and stock
not likely to be on show at an earlier date
Various changes have been made in the conditions
of competition in some of the departments, and no
pains spared to open up such offers that such COM
petition will be lively and interesting among all
classes of agricuturists stock breeders and Others
In the domestic department the lists are varied
and extended, and the good housewives of the
county are expected usual to make large and
effective display of the results of their skill and
industry. The prizes for children's products are
maintained, and this very commendable feature
will no doubt stimulate to efforts after perfection
in the several classes. The dairy prizes, which
last year produced so fine show, are also con-
tinued and a sweepstakes for cattle of the beef
producing breeds will make contest full of in
terest to breeders, will special premium offer
ed for the best dairy COW of grade stock amongst
farmers who make speciality of that kind of stock
A number of new features will be presented in
this years fair, including not only the COMPETE
lions of stock and products, but as we'll in the di-
versions, etc. Coming later in the season more
than ordinary time for preparation is available,
and present indications seem to point to a more
than usually successful fair. Our people will all
aid, we trust, in bringing about this result.
