Not So Hopeful as Usual.

Maryland Republicans are not rs hopeful
this year as usual. The nomination of Blaine
has not inspired enthusiasm, while the selec.
ton of Cleveland has given Democrats hope
of a great national victory. The close of the
new registration two years ago found the Re-
publicans pretty well all registered, and the
Democratic vote probably ten thousand short.
At the following election the Republicans
made good showing. They captured a few
judges and gained congressman, and expect
ed to capture the state government in 1888.
last year, however, the Democrats were bet
ter registered, and, though not as well united
as they should have been, they showed that
this state was Democratic by a safe majority.
This year there will be full registration and
united front on election day, and the Re
publicans have had some difficulty in getting
candidates for Congress. BY reason of the
failure of the Democratic convention to NOM
mate in this district, Mr. Blair imagined that
some dissatisfaction would ensure, and he
might have chance to win, but he will be
more mistaken than he was two years ago,
when he several times in public speeches pre-
dicted his own election. William j. Hooper,
by reason of the great amount of money it
was supposed he would put into the canvass,
was nominated in the third district. He did
not care to waste time and money, and de-
clined, so Sebastian Brown was nominated.
The negroes, the bone and sinew of the Re
publican party in Maryland, have revolted at
his nomination, and he will be buried very
deep. Mr.. Holton was nominated in the fifth
district, but he took nearly two weeks to de-
eide, not caring to waste time and money
against an opponent that would certainly de-
feat him. He has consented to stand, how
ever, and his certain defeat has no doubt
prompted him to accept. He knows he is
not fitted for congressman, and does not
desire to return. He was only taken up in
the first place on account of his wealth. He
had no other recommendation. By lavish
expenditure of money, and by reason of the
great number of Democrats not registered,
Mr.. Holton won by majority of sixteen or
seventeen hundred. That made him hero,
and before he had taken his seat in Congress
he was put up for Governor. He was exhib-
tied around the state, and by his speeches
proved himself an ignoramus. Although
everywhere predicting his own election, he
was badly defeated. Even that portion of the
state comprising his congressional district
gave u majority against him. Hon. Barnes
Compton will defeat him this fall, and that
will end Mr. Holton's political career.
Mr.. McComas may again be successful in
the sixth district, and, if so, he will be the
lone Republican in the House from Maryland.
Yet, Mr.. Nelson, the Democratic nominee, is
making an active canvass, and will make it
warm for Mr.. McComas, Lukewarmness for
Blaine and enthusiasm for Cleveland have
changed the situation in the sixth, and if Mr.
McComas was not now in Congress, he would
not be eager for a canvass for Representative
this year.

chambersburg's Centennial.

Reported for the Democratic Advocated
Notwithstanding the intense heat of Mon.
day and Tuesday throngs Of people poured
into Chambersburg, Pa, to witness and take
part in the centennial exercises. Every ac-
commodation to make the stay of the visitors
pleasant was at hand; private residences
were open and all strived to make each ENJOY
the festivities. The religious part of the eX-
ercises took place on Sunday, and all the
churches in the county, (Franklin, had very
large congregations. On Monday the parade
of the various organizations-Gra Army of
Republic, secret societies and fire companies,
comprising a grand total of 1850 men, took
place, the majority of whom were in uniform.
During the afternoon Japanese fireworks were
set off to the great delight of thousands who
had never witnessed daylight fireworks before
At night the scene was one OF great brllliancy
Chinese lanterns, gas Jets, electric lights,
rockets, Roman candles and other fireworks
amused and astonished the thousands who
STAYED in the city to witness the exhibition.
Nearly every residence and business place
was decorated with bunting and other ev.
dences of holiday occasion. The carnival
feature was the finest ever witnessed IN the
Cumberland Valley; there were eight tabieauX
on floats, illustrating several historical events;
Tuesday, the centennial day, was ushered
in by the ringing of bells, blowing of steam
whistles, and salute of one hundred guns.
From IL noon to l p. M, all the bells were
rung and the whistles on the various manu-
featuring establishments blown, the one on
the Taylor Works seemed to feel its lmpor-
lance on the occasion and was heard at Edge
mont That whistle is simply tremendous,
and has to be heard TO be appreciated:
This day was devoted to the trades display,
and if those who were living 100 years ago
could have returned they would not have been
able to comprehend the vast strides made IN
that time. Several farm implements OF We
olden time were exhibited in the parade
and attracted much attention, causing many
to wonder how our forefathers managed to
cultivate soil with such rude implements.
By the time the procession formed it is estl-
mated that fully 10000 people were IN the
city. Every township had representation
the most notable ones, however, were the
Taylor Works with $50 men in plug hats,
preceded by President Taylor, Superintendent
Beck, Clerks, and Directors in carriages,
followed by several engines, ETC., drawn by
traction engine; Cumberland Valley Rail
road employees, several men who have been
in the employ of the company since 1888, and
the oldest engineer in the United States
Frick & Co., of Waynesboro, 7l2 men IN
line, and 500 Geiser manufacturing Company
employees, officers and clerks accompanied
by the A. I. H. & l.. Company Band. In
the afternoon an historical address by George
Chambers, Esq, and a poem by John Nj.
Cooper, ESQ.,, were delivered in the square.
At night the scene was one similar to the
description of fairy land and was witnessed
by at least Ii, 900 people.

There is IL surplus in the United States
treasury of $500, OOO, 900, for which the gov
eminent has no need. This surplus remains,
Notwithstanding the wholesale robbery that
has been NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. the
fraudulent naval contracts, star route robber-
les, pension frauds, defalcations, and extrav-
agance in every department, amounting al
most to robbery. The collection of this sur
plus affects every man, woman and child. "A
government tax is collected indirectly, and is
not so heavily felt as direct tax in hard cash.
But the people ray it, by the increased price,
by reason of high tariffs, ON everything they
buy for the household and farm. If the gov
eminent would undertake to collect an aver
age of So from every man, woman and child,
(such taxes being Unnecessary as states and
counties collect it, they would rebel and throw
the ruling party out of power.

An Appeal to the Dead.

Hon. Lot NJ Morrill,, formerly United
States Senator from Maine and Secretary OF
the Treasury under Grants administration,
died about Is months ago, since which his
widow has resided at Augusta, in that State.
Mrs. Morrill, was recently surprised to receive
from Ohio an official letter directed to her
late husband. Opening il she found it to be
a very importunate appeal to Senator Morrill,
to visit Ohio, and to lend his aid in saving the
State to Mr.. Blaine. The appeal was from
the chairman of Republican committee.
Mrs. Morrill, was naturally indignant, and an.
swered as follows: 81 am surprised and
shocked to receive such communication.
thought every citizen of this country knew my
husband was at rest. / am in mourning for
him, but, as much as mourn his death,
thank my Father in heaven that He called
him home before the party he loved SO well
and did so much for had so disgraced itself
as TO nominate so wicked and corrupt man
for the highest office within the gift of the
American people, as know and my husband
knew James G. Blaine to be. If he were
alive he would not support Mr.. Blaine or any
such man, even at the bidding of his party.
In reply to an interviewer Wednesday,
Mrs. Morrill, said: "My husband was visited
by Mr.. Blaine at the beginning of the con-
gressional investigation into the Little Rock
Railroad bonds. Mr. Blaine, as he did to
Mnlligan, importuned my husband with tears
and entreaties to use his influence to save him.
When my husband resigned to go into the
cabinet it was generally understood, and my
husband so understood, that Gov. Chamber
lain would be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Instead, and to the surprise Of every one,
Gov. Conner appointed Mr.. Blaine, then a
Representative in Congress and under charges
in that body, TO the vacancy"
As Mrs. Morrill, intimated, the appointment
of Mr. Blaine to the vacancy was evidently
to save him from the further investigation and
the Inevitable discriminating verdict of the
COMMITTEES. Gov. Conner had his reward.
He is now penSsGp agent for Maine, the
best Office next to the eollsctorship.

Deserving the Plumed knight
From tie Ne,e Kork World.

At meeting of the Executive Committee
of the Republican and Independent Club, held
Saturday evening at Twenty thrd street and
Eighth avenue, Adolphus Salenger was Chair
man and James Burgess was appointed Sec
rotary. The Committee of Arrangements
were Frank Mangam, George Rawley and S.
Hancock. Resolutions were unanimously
adopted to the effect that the Republicans and
Independents of the Thirteenth Assembly
District who have heretofore acted with the
Stalwarts and Half Breeds of the Republican
party, also all other citizens of the said dis
trict, who are disgusted with the boss rule of
the said partisans, and more especially with
the nomination made at Chicago for President
by naming a man who is foremost in corrup.
ton for that exalted position in the United
States are respectfully invited to join this
club; and that It is further resolved that this
club will use all honorable means to accom-
plish the defeat of the above corrupt nominee
and elect instead clean, honest citizen
Grover Cleveland-who now holds the posi-
ton of Governor of this State by the votes of
nearly two hundred thousand old line Repub-
licans. 1t was further resolved that this club
will not parade, but do its work quietly and
effectively. =

While mills are closed, miners out Of en-
ployment, business generally unsettled. and
wheat at eighty cents bushel and other
agricultural products proportionately low,
there is a surplus ofS400, 600, 900 in the United
States treasury. The government has no use
for this money, and its accumulation by ex'
cessive and unwarranted taxation is no better
than robbery of the people. With this sur
plus in the pockets of the people-SS to each
man, woman and child in the country-busi-
ness would not now be so unsettled. How
long would the people. of Carroll county, OF
any other county in the United States, keep
a party in power that would collect and hold,
without any legitimate use therefor, an aver
age of So for every man, woman and child.
The population of Carroll county is $4,000.
How long would the Democrats have control
if they collected Il surplus, above even ex,
travagnnt administration, of S25G, 900? AT
the. next election the party would have TO go.
Well, don't the people think it time for the
Republican party to go?
