West Of the River

Hurrah for How chilly
the east wind feels......... Our democrat
ic friends must remember "there is
many slip between the cup and the
lip" If we must submit let us do it
cheerfully, showing that republicans
can bear defeat as nobly as they can
wear the victor's crown ........Mr.
John Young, son of J. r. Young, late
ly of Nebraska, but formerly of Allen
county, is now living on his fathers
farm near the school house. We
think it would be much to the gratifi-
cation Of the west siders and those
who travel the road if the approaches
to the culverts between the bridge and
town would be kept in better order.
Their present condition would be bad
on any by-road, and is disgraceful on
one of the most travelled roads of the
county. And we think the railroad
authorities might devise some better
crossing than the one of the same road
on the s. X. r. r. Other roads have
smoother crossings, and why not
the s. XIV. F. Servey and fam
lily have returned to Kansas to make
this their future home. They report
snow falling when they left Pennsyl-
vania last week. How does that COM
pare with our lovely weather. The

having subsidized, they have again
taken up their abode at home.........At
the residence of /. B. Lawyer, on
Tuesday evening, in the presence Of a
small company, by the Rev. R. NJ.
Scott, Mr.. H. E. Thomas and Miss
Sadie Lawyer were united in the
bonds of wedlock. May their voyage
through life be all smooth sailing.

Nothing like just estimate Of which
party has profted most by this in
crease, can be arrived at by q compar-
lson Of this years vote with last, for
the reason that the republican party
was practically united this year while
it was practically "all broke up'' last
year. 1t Is fair to presume, however,
from the mejorities given the republic
can candidates this year, that that
party has taken the lions share.

A Rising Room for Comptroller

The Annapolis correspondent OF the
Baltimore sun writes, foreshadowing the
selection If Comptroller Thomas j. heat-

says, gives Judge L. X Wilson A in Wor-
cester, a in Wioomic0 and 2 in Dorohes-

Talbot, including his own Senator
Groome, of Cecil and of Kent; Judge
Robinson, of Queen Anne's and OF
Caroline. Somerset is Republican and
out Of the fight. Those who speak of MIR.
KsatiDg as the darh horse argue that
Queen Anne's will have to come to him
to win, aud that further complications
will develop Esstsrn Shore strength.
Against Judge Wilson'S chances Is the
fact that his county, Worcester, iras also
the Congressman, MIR. C0vipgton. This
fact very likely had its influence
in determining Judge Wilson'S
friend, Senator Bishop Of Worcester, to
put aside, firmly and quietly, the honor
which was within his reach of filling the
presiding officers chair 10 the state senate.
The counties below the Choptank have
had the congressman for some years.
Cecil, though in the Esetern Shore for
senator, is part Of the Second eongres,
siensl district. This gives Mr.. Groome
strength, So tending to limit the selection
of congressman in the second district
to Hartford, Baltimore and Carroll coun-
ties. In other respects also the represen'
tstive question has an influence on the
senatorial fight.

should be borne in mind, however, tina
the four counties OF southern Msrylsnd

tionable il they will be- permitted TO par
