A Nuta of Alarm.
o. S. Journal. .

u. ,. Journal
The following letter from Marion
county received yesterday at Republi-
can State headquarters is but one of
many such that are being sent in from
different parts of the State, and it is well
calculated to excite the suspicion and
alarm of Republicans everywhere. 1t
shows that the Democrats expect to
win secretly where they recently failed
so signally by ordinary methods, and it
behooves Republicans to be wide awake
and active in their efforts to counteract
all such secret Vaccinations. There
are enough members of the old order of
"Knights of the Golden Circle" yet left
among the Ohio Democracy to revive
that organization an the letter below in
dicates that such revival is going on.
But as in the dark days of 1864 there
was enough loyal element in the State to
defeat the diSlOyal designs of that order,
even in the absence of the boys in blue
at the front, so now that the soldiers are
at home there ought to be no trouble
from that source if they are properly
aroused. Let all Republicans be on their
guard and see to it that no such secret
work shall subvert the will of the people:

My DEAR SIR-The Democrats max
ing the greatest efforts of their lives
right now in this part of Ohio. They
have sent for two Democrats to come
from st. Louis, Mo. and one from Mich
igsn to vote, and they are betting mon
ey like dirt that Ohio will go Democrat
ic. They are running all over the coun-
try after night. Last night they held a
meeting at school house in the most
remote part of the township. and had a
doorkeeper so that no Republican could
gain abundance. Half the Democratic
county committee were there, and they
were IN session three hours and not a
speech was made by anyone. 1t was a
secret copclIve nf Bourbon Democrats
throughout the va Zee ening, and they
went away as secretly as they came.
believe they will make greater effort
in the back counties of the State than
they will in the cities, and it will take
harder work upon our part to get out
our vote than it did at the October elec.
tion.
We must make our greatest effort now
for the danger is. now that the October
election is over, our people will become
lukewarm and settle down as if we were
to have no election in November. Re-
member this. for it is as true as gospel

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none SO trifed with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trifing or unconscious
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.

Democratic Rally at Damascus.


On Saturday afternoon last, at 3 O'Clock, ac-
cording to advertisement, number of Demo-
Gratis of Damascus district collected together
for the purpose Of holding mass meeting
and forming Cleveland, Hendricks and
Nelson Club The audience was addressed
/ by Richard X. Bcall and F. ID. Laird, of
Rockville, and Col. Carey, of Virginia The
issues Of the campaign were deliberately dis
cussed and excited the closest attention of
the audience. The meeting was very en-
thusgsic
After speaking was over the organization
of the club was proceeded with, and upon
motion 81 Mr.. B.all j. G. W. Kemp
was elected Chairman Of the club, and Mr..
Price Secretary. A committee Of five from
different sections of the district was ap-
pointed by the club-Mareen Duyall l.. w.

will meet on Saturday, September the 9th,
at o'clock p. NJ, and desire all voters who
are Interested in the success of the Demo-
cratic ticket To attend and have their names
placed on the list.
The prospect is, said a prominent Demo-
crat of Damascus, that with good work and
square talking, appealing AS we should al
ways endeayor to do, 10 the Intelligence and
not 10 the money interest OF the voter, we
can carry this district for the ticket. and thai
too in the heart oil county Republicanism.

Cherry from Cum berland.

Dear Sentinel:- | came up | made
careful observation at all points along the
route, ana ! was surprised TO find the activi
ty among the Democrats. ! scarcely dared
to hope we would carry this District before
| came here, but now am fully convinced
it can and will be done. Talking with
prominent citizen OF lIagerstswn, learned
that the opposition to McComus, even In the
town itself, is strong and determined. II
seems Mr.. Nice. displaced the efficient post
mistress Of the place for purely politi-
cal purposes. She being the widow Of a
former postmaster, having her children's
bread TO earn by her own labor, and being
dismissed for no cause OF neglect her large
and influential family connection are up in
arms and are making it exceedingly lively
for the Hon. Louis. Among the miners there
is the same slumberous sense OF the bitter
wrong and injustice done them by the pre-
sent protection tariff and it can be relied
upon that wherever miner is given an OPP
portunity to assert his opinions by the bal
lot he will vote for reduction OF the pre-
sent enormous and iniqutous duty on the
articles Of his daily necessity.
Mr.. Nelson's Sligo speech has been largely
circulated among the miners, and they re-
gard him as avowedly the champion Of their
best interests, as they equally fxedly look
| upon Mr. McC0mas aS the slave Of their
capitalized oppressOrs. The only fear | have
is that the mine bosses may be able TO stiie
an honest expression Of sentiment by these
poor, oppressed toiers Of the mine.
/ am told by Democrat of influence In
the county that Mr. Nelson will receive
nearly as large vote as did Senator Bowlus,
who was triumphantly elected as a Demo
crat TO the State Senate by $50 majority
Even If Mr. Nelson only receives plurality
Of 100 in Frederick county, with Mont.
gomery's $50 or 700, CARROTS 100 and
Washington's 200 he will have majority
of 300 to 400 over McCemas, whe will hard.

Asking Money from government
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company
have filed a suit in the Court of Claims
against the United States, asking $500, 800
in all for damages which it is claimed the
company has sustained by the operations
carried on in connection with the aqueduct
extension. The company claims that it
owns two pieces Of land embraced in the
survey of the land taken for the use of the
aqueduct, one portion being that on which
the gate-house stands in Montgomery coun-
ty, and the other portion lying east of the
gate house For these lands 1886 900 is
asked. 1t is claimed also that the com
pany's rights in the bed and waters of the
Potomac by the proposed extension are inn
paired, and on this account claims 1926 900.
The sum of $4,000 is asked to reimburse
the company for expenses entailed in de-
stroying the feeder at Great Falls, rendered
necessary by the construction of the aque-
duct. Two hundred thousand dollars is
claimed for the purpose of constructing dam
No l, at Little Falls, and $129,900 for the
costs of extraordinary repairs to dams and
from the beginning Of the year 1868 to
June 30, 1884 Gen. Benj +. Butler has also
filed suit on behalf Of the Great Falls
Manufacturing Company, el aiming damages
from the same cause, the amount being left
to the court to determine memorial sub
mtted by Gen. Butler to the Secretary of
War and the Attorney Genenal offers ~ sell
the entire rights, which the company claim
to possess, To the government for $250O00.
These suits have been referred to Lieut.
Symons, in charge OF the aqueduct ex tension
under Engineer Commissioner Lydecker, for
Investigation. Major Lydecker has stated
that these suits would not affect the work
under his charge on the aqueduct extension,
that all the work is now in progress, and
will not be interiered with by suits such as
