Political Clap-Trap.

clares
1.-The public lands are heritage of the

million acres. rendering it easy for capitalists
and foreign residents to acquire for mere

public domain. thereby practically multiplying
our homestead grants to actual settlers. And
now, after public sentiment has been awaken

wrong, on the eve Of the Presidential election,
cries out for reform. But there IL no danger

Blaine and Logan Accept.


Blaine's letter of acceptance was given
to the public last Saturday and that of
Logan on Tuesday. Both are long and
both seek to divert attention from their
records and to make the tariff the main
issue of the campaign. Blaine's letter is
well written. but is mainly composed of
specious argument and false assertion. 1t
is, beside, an arraignment of his own party,
for all that he advocates is in direct conflict
with the record of his party. For instance,
he opposes granting the public lands to
corporations, and wants them retained for
actual and Jona tide settlers. The Repub-
lican party has given to railroads lands
greater in area that the thirteen original
states. Blaine voted for all of these grants,
and it was to save one from defeat that he
prostituted his office of Speaker of the
House of Representatives.
We do not propose to enter upon crit
icism of the letter, further than to say
that it lacks the dash, fire and aggressive
ness which always heretofore characterized
Blame's utterances. 1t was supposed it
would be document that would beget en-
thusiasm and revive Republican hopes, but
it fell fiat upon the country. Certain por-
tions of it have been severely handled by
the leading papers of the country, and the
Blaine Journals have not been able to de-
fend it, In the main they have been con-
tent to characterize the letter as cable"
Poor Logan's letter was published by a
number of leading papers-Republican as
well as Democratic without word Of
comment Like Blaine-the result of an
understanding, no doubt-Logan under
took to make the tariff question uppermost
in the campaign, but his effort was feeble.
On the Southern question the letters do
not agree. While Blaine pats the South
on the back, Logan revives the old stuff
about unfair elections and intimidation.
In his supreme ignorance he counts every
colored man in the South a Republican;
and, ascertaining from the census returns
that the blacks outnumber the whites in
several states, he concludes that the Repub-
licans are in the majority, and consequently
must be intimidated and cheated. His
letter is as amusing as comic almanac,
and if we had enough room for that sort
of literature, we should publish it. 1t is
the worst production of the kind ever given
to the American public. In closing the
Zuni Statesman says "there are other sub
jects of Importance which | would gladly
touch upon did space permit. To just
what space the valiant John was limited
the people will wonder. If it be true that
his wife was to assist in writing the letter,
perhaps her note paper gave out.

keynote of the Campaign.

A correspondent of the New York Sun in
terviewed Hop. Thomas A. Hendricks, the
Democratic nominee for VICE President.
Mr.. Hendricks says our Federal institutions
have been shamed by selfish and c9rrRpt
management of public affairs, and that in the
various departments Of the government dis
honesty, rapacity and yenality have debanched
the public service. This has given rise to tha
demand of civil reform, and the cure for these
evils by the election of new men and the pro-
motion of new measures is the overshadowing
issue of the campaign. Inregard to the tariff,
Mr.. Hendricks says reform Is demanded by
the platform of both parties. and is certain to
come, land, like other reforms, can most
safely be entrusted to the party which Is not
responsible for existing abuses and the failure
to cRre tbem.s In word, Mr.. Hendricks
says tsadmiirstraijve reform and personal in
tegrity in public Office viii be the leading
issues of the campaign

Cleveland's Strength IN Ohio.
Gov. HOadIy's Law Partner Says He Wi
Carry the State.

AhC StfssSs
Edgar NJ. johnson, of Baltimore county, Md.
went west about twenty-five years ago. He
is now the law partner of Gov. Hoadley, OF
Ohio, and lives in Cincinnati. Since going
to Ohio he has risen to prominence in his
profession and politics. Last week he was at
Long Branch, and created a stir by laying a
wager of $500 to $500 that Cleveland would
carry Ohio. Being interviewed, he said:
''This bet shows just what ! think of the
political situation. There is no more doubt
in my mind that Cleveland will carry Ohio
than there is that he will win in Kentucky.
More than that, the Democrats will carry the
State in October also, and thus give the ticket
IL boost with the rest of the country. On
what do ] base my assertions? On what /
know. Gov. Hoadley got the largest Demo-
cratic vote ever cast in Ohio, and Cleveland
will get substantially the same ballots. He is
immensely strong out there!
.sAre there many Independents there
s'There are some, who are business men.
But the Ohio Republicans are more seriously
divided than the existence of a body of what
are called Independents would indicate. The
temperance question has come in to divide
the Blaine forces, just as it divided the Re-
publicans before in the Gubernatorial fight.
The Scott law, that is offensive to so many of
our citizens, particularly to the Germans, is
still in existence, and the Republicans are
running their most rigorous Scott law man for
Justice of the Supreme Court. lie will be
defeated, and the Blaine Electoral ticket will
suffer with him. The Germans are nearly all
against Blaine because Of the temperance
question, and because they don't like the no.
ton of his spirited foreign policy. The Ger.
mans are thrifty, energetic, business people.
They had enough of soldering and the brass
band business in Germany. In this country
they have peace, and they don't take kindly
to the idea of official theatricals that may get
them and the rest of the country into trouble
at any moment without Decessity.n

Another Fraud Contemplated.

"The final means of attaining their ends to
which the Republican politicians naturally
look, is the same that they applied in 1876.
1t is to count out the successful Democratic
candidates and to deprive them by fraud of
the offices to which the people have elected
them. IN Y. Sun, July IS.
Gen. Hawley is said to have started the
idea, some months ago, of throwing out of
the presidential count all of the Southern
States on the plea of an unfair election, al
leging that no election which has been held
there for years past has been fair, because
the solid South has been steadfast in her
allegiance to the Democratic party. The
country narrowly escaped revolution in
1877, from the deep and burning indigna-
ton which pcrvaded every Democratic
breast ON account of the counting out of
Tilden and Hendricks. The repetition, or
the attempted repetition of so foul crime
against popular suffrage would precipitate
crisis at once, and no power could stop it
until vengeance was satisfied. If the Re
publican party intend to Mexicanize this
government by declaring, through pronun-
ciamentoes, who shall be President, instead
of selecting him in the usual way by the
peaceful power of the ballot, according to
the constitution and the laws, upon its
head be the consequences. The immunity
from punishment which it enjoyed for the
preparation of that heinous crime against
republican government, could not be calcu
lated on again, and although success then
may embolden it to make another attempt
of the same sort, it may be assured that the
result will be ignominious failure involving
it in the direst consequences. If these al
lusions to counting out the Democratic
candidate, in case of success, are anything
more than idle babbling, it is time that the
Democratic party should know it, and take
such steps as will best secure its own rights
and preserve the constitution and laws of
the country from proclamation by revolu-
tionary hands.

TRUSTEES SALE.

In pursuance ola decree ofthe Circuit Court
for Carroll county sitting in equity, and of an
order of resale, will sell at Finksburg, at 3
O'Clock, P. NJ, on
Saturday, the Esd deg Of august, 1857,
a tract or parcel of land containing
ITO ACRES, MORE OR LESS,
which is part of the Clover Hill estate, and is
now in possession of Daniel Frazier, and lies
within about one mile from Finksburg, witha
turnpike road leading to it, and within short
distance of the Finksburg Station Of the
Western Maryland Railroad. This is really
valuable piece of property and would make a
very nice small farm. 1t will probably sell
for less than its actual value, and is well
worthy the attention of those desiring to have
n moderate sized farm. 1t will positively be
sold to the highest bidder.
The terms of sale are, that one-half of the
purchase money shall be paid in cash on the
day of sale, or on ratification by the Court,
and the balance in twelve months, to be
secured by the note of the purchaser, with
approved security, with interest. If the pnr-
chaser prefers, the entire purchase money
can be paid in cash.

Independent Republican Conference

Four hundred and fifty-nine Indepen-

states, held conference in New York on
Tuesday. The conference was made up of
thoughtful men-men of character and in
fuence, who are determined and firm.
They are Republicans who have uniformly
acted with the Republican party. They
are Republicans still, but they cannot sup
port for President man whose public
record is not in accord with the demand
for honest and economical government, for
conservatism and for reform in the public
service In the address they issued they
declare that the issue now is, Reform against
Corruption, "moral rather than political, =
and concerns the national honor and char
acter and honesty of administration, rather
than general policies of government. The
address further declares that the Repnbli-
can party Golfers candidate for President
who is an unfit leader, shown by his own
words and his ACKNOWLEDGED acts TO be mn
worthy of respect and confidence. The ad-
dress then goes ON to consider the candidate
of the Democratic party, declaring Cleveland
to be one ''whose name is the synonym of
political courage and honesty and of adj
ministratiye reform" who has discharged
every official trust with sole regard to the
public welfare" In order to be effective
