the voting list. Last years total was 64 ,22l.
Nearly all divided tax bills were paid by

sion Of negroes who had been attending q
republican meeting in another part of the

making other noisy demonstrations, that
compelled the meeting to suspend its pro-

Gen. Scales, and one striking in the breast
Col. John n. Staples, the candidate for cleo.
tor at large. The democrats quietly sub
mitted to the outrage; but it has created
intense indignation, and there is much ex.
element on the streets to-day. The meet

prominent white republican leaders, and
inform them that they would be held re-
sponsible for any repetition of the outrage.

No THANKS will be due to either the New

Press Association for Cleveland's election
for both those associations have done all it
was possible for them to do to defeat him
From the first of the campaign until the pre-
sent their dispatches have all been biased in
favored of Mr.. Blaine. But, fortunately for
the Governor and the friends of honest gov
eminent, the press is not dependent solely
upon those associations for its campaign
news, nor is all the telegraphic communca-
ton of the country under the control Mr..
Jay Gould. 1t is also fortunate that the
election is not influenced by the press of the
national capital, for of the four daily papers
there three are conspicuously for Blaine and

though he is now swinging round the Nor'h
in the most improved style, he is on record
when speaking of former Presidential
candidate who only remotely appropriated
him in the course referred to, rs saying;
"If we needed any excuse for an addi,
tiopal word on our side, it may be founh
and furnished in the extraordinary specta'

American people, when the candidate OF

companions, engaged in the hopeless

candidate making fool of himself at the
rate of thirty miles all hour is quite enough;
and General Grant, in the GARD OF PLAIN
citizen, quietly awaits the verdict OF the ma

All right minded people think OF Mr..
Blaine's electioneering tour now, precisely
as he did of Governor Seymour's, in 1868,
but while his thoughts were strained, theirs
are perfectly natural.

FATAL CoLLIs1oN.-Two freight trains
on the Shenandoah Valley Railroad ran
into each other at Kimball, Page county,
yesterday evening, killing w. W. Johnson,
engineer on the south.bound freight, and
wrecking both engines. The passenger had
but switched off the main track to allow
the north.bound freight to pass, and was
lying on the switch when the freight trains
ran into each other Immediately opposite
the passenger train. The crash was terrific.
and the passengers hurried out of the train.
None of them were hurt. One of the coaches
was considerably shaken up, and many es-
capped through the windows. The two en-
gines and some of the cars on the freight
trains were piled up in a confused wreck.
Johnson was killed at his post, his body
being dreadfully mangled. He leaves wife
and two children in Hagerstown. The fire.
man escaped by jumping.

The LATE President Garfield, when a
member Of the House. said the man VINO
might expect to advance his own selfish
ends by reviving and perpetuating the an
imosities of the civil war would be woe
fully mistaken. The result of the present
political campaign will show whether or not
he was correct; for Mr.. Blaine, finding all
other means inadequate to secure his cleo
ton, has suddenly adopted the very course
deprecated by Mr.. Garfield, and, for no
other reason than the fact that all the
Southern States will vote for his opponent,
Northern and Union man as he is, now at
tempts to revive sectional and war animos-
tiles by waving the bloody shirt, and ny
falsely accusing the people of those States OF
q conspiracy to seize the Government.
If the people of the North were as patriotic
as they pretend to be, and as delighted "a
they say they are at the reunion of the once
divided nation and the restoration of the
feelings that should actuate fellow citizens
of common country, they would squelch
the incendiary Blaine by voting as solidly
for Cleveland as those of the South intend
to do
