The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1884-09-27

The Democratic party in the pres
ent campaign seems to stake its sue.
cess, or rather its chance of success,
upon mud flinging and scandals OF
the meanest character. If it can sue
coed in getting the people to believe
one-half the lies cOncocted and circu-
lated by its leaders, then, perhaps,
Cleveland, covered all over with vii.
lany as he is, may have some show.
In this community some Democratic
papers are finding fault because Mr.
Blaine did not vote on the prohibit
ton question. Mr.. Blaine like a
statesman as he is, says :"I am chOs
en- by the Republican party as its
representative in National issues,
and by no act of mine shallany ques
ton he Obtruded into the national
campaign which belongs properly to
the domain of State politics." Any
man can see that the course adopted 10y
Mr.. Blaine was the proper one. Had
he been mere time.server, as Cleve-
land, perhaps he would have acted
quite differently.
No better evidence of the terrible

William Walter Phelps takes the re.
sponsibility Of giving to the public
the following private letter, address
ed to him nearly two weeks ago.
AUGUSTA, September 6. 1884.
My Dear Mr.. Phelps: l have your

"the continuous invention and wide
circulation of evil reports render it
advisable lin your judgment) not to
wait the slow process of the law, but
to speak directly to the public in my
own vindication." In this opinion
many others on whose Judgment |

gestion, although l feel sure / could
strengthen the confidence of all who
felt friendly to me, by bringing to
view the simple thread of truth which
is concealed in this endless tissue of
falsehood. You can imagine how in

"What are Republican prospects
in New York anyhow? asks the
anxious Blaine voter. Well, better
by far than were GarfieId's this time
four years ago. Then Jno. Kelley
was loud in his demonstrations for
Hancock, to-day he and Tammany
are cold and Indifferent. Then, no
immoral charge was made against the
Democratic chief, to day Grover
Cleveland is held up before the Amer
lean people as man morally unfit
for any prominent position. The re-
suit is that New York is set down as
safe for Blaine and Logan by at least
$4,000 majority.

All voters should bear in mind that
the real issue in this Presidential con-
test is whether British free trade
shall be fastened on this country as
Its economical policy. If Mr.. Cleve-
land he elected, the protective tariff
will he thrown down and the pro-
ducts of foreign labor will flood our
markets, stop our mills and factories
and pauperize our working men and
women. -NeaO York Tribune.

Mr.. Nelson in his oakland speech

Mr.. Nelson in his Oakland speech
declared that "the money question, the
tariff question and civH Seroice reform
Were only Waimportant side issues, and
that they were only used as blind
by the Republican leaders as the
bloOdy-shirt had been to deceive the
ignorant masses at the North. Just
think of it. THE tariff question an
amimportant side issue. Reader, do
you want stupidity personIfied to
represent you in Congress If you
do not, vote for McComas. If Mr..
Fred. Nelson regards the tariff ques-
tion as an au1iHpOrta'lt side issue why
does he seek to convince the miners
that it will make no difference to
them whether the tariff on coal is
taken off, increased, or allowed to
remain as it is He says they will
get just as much work and as much
pay, because the duty, whatever it
is, goes into the pockets of the Oper-
ators. We can assure Mr.. Nelson that
the miners are an INTEL gent set of
men, and understand the tariff ques-
ton too we'll to be humbugged by
his mliD1pOrtd1at side issues of bosh and
nonsense. They know free coal
means starvation for their wives and
children, and they know McComas
will stand by their interests in the
future as in the past.

A prominent member of the wool

but disaster to them in case Cleveland
and the men who advocate free trade
get control of the government.

On the bill to prohibit the sale of liq-
uors within five miles of the court house
of Alcorn county, Messrs. Houston, of
Monroe and Inge, of Acorn took oppos-
ing sides. Mr. Houston presented pc
tition signed by large number of citi-
zens of Alcorn county, and made an
earnest appeal for their rights to vote
on the question involved. He put him
self square on the record as temperate
in all things, and made a strong argn-
ment in favor of local option. Mr..
Inge replied to Mr.. Houston's argument.
He counted the petition as of no ac-
count owing to its mutilated condition,
and quoted many facts and instances to
sustain him in the grounds taken by
him that the bill should pass without
amendment. The arguments of both
parties were well sustained and the
Speeches delivered in manner that
held the attention of the House. 1t was
a meeting of two Trogans, and as such
will be known as the event of the pres
ent session thus far.
