The Baltimore County union., 1884-06-14


more. That mighty assemblage of giant intellects
at Chicago sounded its tocsn in the person of that
statesman and scholar, James Il. Blaine, Of Maine.
| Blaine and q Logan will not only lead the Re-
publican party to victory, but will achieve for the
Nation that prestige stayed the while by the fatal
buet-that golden fruitage the seeds of which
| were sown ON our National soil by the Nations
martyr, James A. Garfield. The thousands of
spindles all the country silled by Democratic
tariff interference will again beput in motion, and
the hum and buzz of twelve millions of spindles
| will make music in the ears of our manufacturers.
| The many furnaces of our country blown out by
| Democratic e-trade dynamite will again glow
with choleric fervor ample to forge anchor for
| the ship of state weighty and strong enough to
| defy any Democratic tempest Yes, the hum of
the SPINDLE the clank of the loom, the ring of the
anvil the thrift of the farmer, the busy hustle of
the artizan and the facial glow of the scientist
in fact all American industries, under Republican
tariff protection, will receive such an impetus as
| not to be again stilled even shocked by Demo-
cratic interference their free trade dynamite
The free trade Speaker, Carlisle, made the Demo-
| cratic party sick; the free-trade Morrison bill
killed it, and the progressive ideas of Blaine's
giant intellect, as exemplifed in the Republican
National platform, will bury it in oblivion.
While the eight-hour system, as advanced by
Gov. McLane in this State would, if adopted by
the State, prove very detrimental, in fact ruinous
to the State, eight-h hour system adopted by all
the States would prove inestimable blessing,
not only to the Nation at large, but to the indi-
vidual citizen. A system that would curtal the
hours of labor in this State and not in all the
States is premature, yea, cruelty, for how could
the industries of this State compete with its sister
States-this State working eight hours and its
sister States twelve or fourteen hours a day
Hence the McLane eighth hour system was opposed
by the Republicans premature and deadly to
the best interests of our State. But now as it is
10, Nat fbo lorI Ixy
of toll Republican and Democrat, can stand upon
this strong plank in the Republican platform and
cast their ballots for James G. Blaine, the only
man who can bring it to successful issue. Long
ago the eight system was adopted and used
on all National works, but when it is made uni
verSal throughout country it will be hailed as
the climax of Republican triumphs by the mil
lions that make up the great of this country.
The Hon. James G. Blaine said to the thousands
who visited him Immediately after his nomina-
ton, off my house was as large as my heart l
would take you all in SO it is with the Repub-
lican platform. It is not only strong enough,
progressive enough, but like the heart of great
leader, it is large enough for every lover of this
Republic to stand upon.
The nomination was received by the Republi-
cans in this section with great enthusiasm, and
who say they ready to wheel into battle line
and meet the enemy. Some of the Democrats say
at is hard ticket to beat" while others, who
prior to Blane's nomination said che was the
strongest man." now, since his nomination, say
che is a weak man." But as is we'll known the
Democratic party is so given to lying that it is
almost impossible for them to tell the truth.
My last letter, especially that part relating to
the burlesque on Powhatan, caused some
ment, and The UNION was sought after by many
to peruse it. One on returning it, who had been
q reader of the "smut machine" as he called it
(the JomnoD, said, "Ths (THE UNION is grand
paper, and l think when I go over to Towson-
town, I'll make change"
Mr.. Samuel Younger, superintendent of the M.
Z. Sunday school here, requested me to send the
particulars of the children's centennial, but not
being present can only say that it was, as far as
could be learned, grand affair and very enjoy
able occasion. The decoration and notices were
tasty and exquisite which the ladies deserve great
credit for.
The children's centennial at st. Luke's and EN-
mart's was not as grand, but was also pleasant
and interesting to all, and no doubt made deep
impression upon the youthful mind.
The literary has closed until the last Thursday
night in September. No literary society in the
county has met with greater success during the
year than the Powhatan, and none, perhaps has
proven more beneficial to the community than it
has. For this, too, the ladies deserve a large
share of the credit especially those who conducted
the musical department. At its close q rising
vote of thanks was tended Mr.. Samuel Younger,
the president for the able manner in which he had
conducted the affairs of the society.
The crops are looking well through this section
and promises a fair yield.
The Powhatan cotton mill will, no doubt, re-
main idle until another Republican President and
Congress elected. 7.
Gardenville, 18th District.-The fair and
festival held at Gatch's NJ Z. church three nights

ice cream, &C., were in it, and the whole being
nicely decorated with evergreens, looked very in

Mr.. Robert Herman, son of our postmaster,
Mr.. John NJ. Herman, has obtained patent
for wagon brake, which is certainly grand i'm
provement on the old style, and no doubt will re-
alize him handsome sum. Mr. III. has been
working on it for three years.
One night last week some thief broke into the
store of Mr.. Oyeman, at this place, by removing
one of the window shutters. All the small change
and several boxes Of cigars were carried off.
On Thursday night of last week marc was
stolen from the field Of Mr. Henry Lange. The
colt that was running with the mare, was left
behind. Detectives caught the thief few days
after It now turns out that ne formerly lived
with Mr.. Lange. He sold the mare 70 S65.
Calverton, Sd DESTRUCTION last Sunday,
the Sunday school of Summerfeld NJ. L. church,
Calverton, presented most unique and hand
some appearance, the occasion being the ceebra-
tion of Children's Day. A platform over twelve
feet high had been erected, running the entire
width of the church, presenting the appearance
of high and broad stairway, upon which the
school was seated The platform was beautifully
illuminated and an immense arch erected, extend
ing from one side of the church to the other,
twined with evergreens and foreign plants, upon
which was suspended hanging baskets, filled with
choice flowers and bird cages, the little choris-
ters fairly bursting their hroats in their songs of
delight. The singing by the children was highly
creditable, being accompanied by two cornets and
the organ.
Another interesting feature of the occasion was
the crowning of six young ladies by six small
girls, all of them being dressed in pure white and
the crowns made of the choicest white flowers,
and while thus being crowned, the entire school
joined in the grand chorus, "Well crown them
with roses" having most beautiful effect The
addresses of the occasion were delivered by w.
A. Wsong, Esq, and j. Caldwell, Esq, of Balti-
more. The school numbers 200 children. The
pastor is the Rev. c. E. Young, and Mr.. r. B.
Clark, superintendent.
Summerield church held strawberry festival
two evenings this week. Gen. John S. Berry do
mating the strawberries. The ladies connected
with this church deserve great credit for the
cess of the festival. VENUS.
