To the Voters of Garrett County.

EVANSVILLE, Md, Oct. 10, 1884.
In the interest of fairn 9ss | take
this method to call attention to hand
bills posted in this district, and pre-
sumo the same is done in Others, call.
ing upon the voters to "Stop Read
and Ponder" to read carefully the
sixth section of the Local Option
Law" before voting away their right
to do what they please with their
own. Who it is that sees such dread
full things in this section of the law,
and seems so solicitous of the peoples
rights l do not know, as they give
US no name whereby we may do
honor to one so ready and willing to
guard the voters rights, but has no
eye to see the suffering of SO many,
brought about by that which is sought
to be remedied by Local Option. Evil
IDENTIFY the intention of the hand bills
referred to is, by its wording, to de-
ceive; for certainly any intelligent
fair minded voter, who will read said
9th section as it is, will at once see
that there is nothing in it interfering
with individual rights as all we'll
know that ary such law would be
unconstitutional, and therefore a null
lily, as no law can prevent any one
from eating or drinking what they
please if they can get it; but the law
intends, and will, if adopted, pro-
hibit the licensing and legalizing the
sale of Intoxicating liquors, either by
selling it direct or pretending to give
1t away and charging it on something
else, at his, her, their or its pace of
business; ard what would the law
amount to if parties were not restrict
ed from giving it away at their places
of business all know how that would
be. 1t would not be given away. but
would be sold indirectly, thereby
making the last stage worse than the
first.
Now what does this sixth section
THAT has so alarmed the champion of
the peoples rights say. "That no
person, persons. company, corpora
ton or association shall deposit or
have in his, her, their or its posses
sion, any spirituous or fermented
liquors, or alcoholic bitters, or intox-
icating liquors of any kind, aOith in
tent to sell the same or give away the
same at his, her, their, OR ITS PLACE
OF BUsIN EsS." Not a word interfer.
ing with the rights of anyone to keep
as much as they please at their pri.
vate dwellings, or anywhere else. so
they do not sell or give it away
(which means selling it Indirectly at
their places of business to the public.
This section is the same as embraced
in the law of all the counties in the

Mr.. McCOmas' Campaign.

1t was frequently remarked during
the last session of Congress, that the
young Congressman from this Dis
trict evinced wonderful aptitude tor
the business brought before it, as well
AS a keen care for the interests of his
constituents. He has speedily learned
the needs of his official position. and
developed fitness to grapple with all
the problems presented by it. On
this account the Convention present
ed his name for reelection with such
wonderful unanimity. His action has
been endorsed with great enthusiasm
throughout the District. Wherever
he has addressed his fellow-citizens,
large crowds have assembled to hear
him and to declare their confidence in
the man, not only on account of his
moral and political honesty, but his
real fitness for the important office he
holds. The number of his supporters
has been increased, and the signs of
the times indicate that he will be
again returned to swell the number
of those who will support James G..
Blaine in all his efforts to give the
nation successful and prosperous

married to G. w. Mclaughlin on the
Goth day of April, 1883. She left an
infant son, only six days cid, since
named George Mclaughlin Brown,
Her husband survives and m0urns,
and so do her many friends. All
who have known her we'll cannot
help hut do so, as she made herself
a favorite wherever she went. Look
ed to for ADVICE, not only by those of
her own years but those beyond.
Never frivolous or girish in her ways
but always WOmanIy, discreet and
sensible, thoroughly domestic and
practicable. Her own newly made
home in its completeness, showed all
what woman and wife she was. it,

hopeful, but holdings came in her last
weeks that an approaching ordeal
would not he successfully passed-sO

away to the place of rest. For ten
years the deceased was a member of
the Presbyterian Church at Cumber-
land. In her last enfpvered moments
she gave the most tender advice to
her husband, and messages Of love
were sent to each of the home family.
There was ne terror of death, and

Know Ye the State

The special edition of the B. and

evident from its remarkably compre.

almost inexhaustible. The returns of
Presidential, State and Congressional
electionals are shown in full by coun-
ties and districts, and the comparisons
figured out cover every possible point
which could be raised. The remarks
embrace statistics of the State culled
from past results almost without end
such, for instance, as the name and
term of every Governor from the
first, the variation of State Verdict

positions held by State representa-

which constitute very epitome of
political history. In writing for this
Invaluable little work, it should be
definitely indicated what State is de-

Pole. Raising at SelbyspOrt.

On last Saturday the adherents
of Cleveland and Hendricks and of
Blaine and Logan, in our district,
cOngregated in our little village for
the purpose of raising poles in honor
of the candidates. Contrary to the
usual custom, the two parties united
to raise the two poles, thus showing
while our political faith differs, we are
very good friends. The Cleveland
pole stands on the east bank Of the
Y0ugh river and is " feet high. and
shows its flag and streamer very well.
The pole is inclined to bend little,
owing, we suppose, to the influence
of the Ohio returns, which reached
here just after the pole was raised.
The Blaine and Logan pole stands at
the west or upper end of the village,
and is near 80 feet high, and is the
handsomest pole ever raised in this
district. We doubt if there has ever
been nicer one raised in the county.
1t is all in one piece and does not
measure over 10 inches at the ground.
1t displays the red, white and blue
in gallant style. End pOrtends COM

What has become of the district
committee? We don't think they
take much interest in polite, at least
they took no interest in getting the
Blaine pole raised, G.. w. F.

There is something ludicrous as
well as contemplate in the way that
the Democratic which up to
the eve of the battle declared that
Ohio was to tell the whole story, that
as Ohio goes. so goes the Union, and
so fOrth-has trimmed sails at the
last moment, and vowed that Ohio
would not make much difference
after all. In brief, it is Maine over
again.-N. Y. Com. ADJ.

Ohio's vote on Tuesday settled
several things. Thus it practically
settled the vexed question as to who
was to be the next President of the
United States, it settled the question
concerning protection or non-protec-
ton of American industry, then, too,
it unsettled the Democratic party
in way that has made their heads
dizzy ever since,

| has the right to sell what he pleases."
Yes, if he chooses to sell what is not
harmful to others. Law asserts its
right to say that hurtfu things shall
not be sold. In the cities, there are
laws against the sale of meats, fruits
and vegetables in unwhOlesOme con-
dition, adulterated milk, &C., &C.,
and there are officers whose duty it
is to see that these laws are enforced.
We think this is right. Better that
the dealers who have such things on
hand should lose than that the peo-
pie should suffer harm by buying and
using them. And if the sale of these
things can properly be prohibited,
certainly the law can rightfully pro-
hibit the sale OF that which does vast
~ more harm than adulterated or
otherwise unwholesome food. Set it
down as a sound principle, that the
ld10 has q right to prohibit the sale of
hugM things. We are responsible
for evil that we can prevent. 1t is in
our power, citizens of Garrett county,
to prohibit the sale of Intoxicating
beverages in our midst. Will we
exercise this power, now that we
have this golden opportunity?
If the Local Option act should be-
come a law. it cannot be said that
snap judgment has been taken on the
saloon keepers, for the act was passed
last spring and cannot, under any
circumstances, become a law until
May LIST, 1885, so they will have had
plenty of time in which to get out of
their present business into some 9TH
er that is better and more respectable.
Furthermore, remember, that of
the money now derived from liquor
licenses in Garrett county. not one
cent goes to the county. We are not
complaining of this feature of the
law, but desire the fact to be kept in
mind.
We have given license trial. To
say the least, can there be any reason
able objection to giving mo license"
a fair trial -?
This is contest ofthe home against
the saloon. Which shall win 2
Which do we value most ? Which
shall we protect? The influences of
the saloon are opposed to the good
influences of the home. Happy
homes are SO often ruined, high hopes
so often blasted, fond hearts so often
broken, because of the saloon. The
issue is joined and the battle must be
fought with ballots. There will be
those who will lend their aid to The
saloons and those who will stand for
the defense of the homes. Will you
be found supporting those whose bus
mess is responsible for so much of
the crime and misery and poverty of
our country? Or will you join the
ranks of those who will vote for the
boys and for the homes, and for the
wives, mothers and daughters who
have suffered so greatly at the hands
of the saloon and Yet, powerless to
cast vote against it, can only entreat
you, as true men, to vote for them
against the saloon Whoever may
receive your vote for president or con-
gresham, see to it that upon your
ballots are the words. Against the
sale of intoxicating liquors." X.

Helen was the cause of the Trojan
war, and now Ms. jeff. Davis seems
likely to be the occasion of a duel.
Mr.. John Spies, of Boswell, Ind, is an
ex-Federal soldier, who was in the
party that captured jeff. Davis. Mr..
Spies alleges that his courteous treat
ment of Mrs. Davis at that time re-
suited in the presentation by her of a
keepsake, an account of which Mr..
Spies kindly furnished a reporter In q
recent interview. The Boswell lind. J
Courier published the interview, and
some good-natured friend sent copy
to Mrs. Davis. She put the paper into
the hands Of Col. J. G. Mcclure, who,
for Mrs. Davis, explicitly denies Mr..
Spies statement relative to the keep
sake, pronouncing it lie, and offer
ing Mr.. Spies certain satisfaction
which Mr.. Spies, at latest accounts,
proposed to accept. A duel to the
death is looked for.

Tilden Can Get 1t.

From the Philadeldeia lines.
"Yes," said ex-senator BuckaleW
yesterday at the Girard, "Mr. Tilden
can get the nomination if he wants
to. He can command the situation If
he chooses, the reason for this being
not that politicians are very anxious
TO do him honor, but because behind
them is the sentiment and feeling of
the mass of the people that a great
wrong was done to our institutions
in his person by what occurred in
1876. 1t would be delightful to thou
sands of intelligent and earnest men
to rectify that wrong independently
of any question of a party triumph.
NY idea is that Mr.. Tilden Is not an
extremist ON the tariii or any other
business question. There would be a
feeling OF safety among business
men and industrial intert SITS over his
selection, and it would not be posi-
BILE for republican leaders oleYy great
contributions upon timid capitalists
and moneyed men to secure his defeat.
Whether Mr.. Tilden will ultimately
agree to become candidate or not l am
unable to say, having no better means
of in formations than the average cltl
zen. Possibly his judgment as to be,
coming candidate may be influenced
by the action of the republican con-
