chambersburg,s Centennial.
Reported for the Democratic Advocate.

Reported for the Democratic Advocated
Notwithstanding the intense heat of Mon
day and Tuesday throngs Of people poured
into Chambersburg, Pa, to witness and take
part in the centennial exercises. Every ac-
commodation to make the stay Of the visitors
pleasant was at hand private residences
were open and all strived to make each enjoy
the festivities. The religious part of the eX-
ercises took place on Sunday, and all the
churches in the county, (Franklin,) had very
large congregations. On Monday the parade
of the various organizations-Grand Army OF
Republic, secret societies and fire companies,
comprising grand total of 1850 men, took
place, the majority of whom were in uniform.
During the afternoon Japanese fireworks were
set off to the great delight of thousands who
had never witnessed daylight fireworks before.
At night the scene was one of great brilliancy
Chinese lanterns, gas jets, electric lights,
rockets, Roman candles and other fireworks
amused and astonished the thousands who
stayed in the city to witness the exhibition.
| Nearly every residence and business place
was decorated with bunting and other evil
dences of a holiday occasion. The carnival
feature was the finest ever witnessed in the
Cumberland Valley; there were Gig ht tableaux
on floats, illustrating several historical events
Tuesday, the centennial day, was ushered
in by the ringing of bells, blowing of steam
whistles, and salute of one hundred guns.
From u noon to l p. M, all the bells were
rung and the whistles ON the various manu-
featuring establishments blown, the one on
the Taylor Works seemed to feel its impor-
lance on the occasion and was heard at Edge
mont. That whistle is simply tremendous,
and has to be heard TO be appreciated.
This day was devoted to the trades display,
and if those who were living 100 years ago
could have returned they would not have been
able to comprehend the vast strides made in
that time Several farm implements of We
olden time were exhibited in the parade
and attracted much attention, causing many
to wonder how our forefathers managed to
cultivate soil with such rude implements.
By the time the procession formed it is esti-
mated that fully 10000 people were in the
city. Every township had a representation
the most notable ones, however, were the
Taylor Works with $50 men in ''plug" hats
preceded by President Taylor, Superintendent
Beck, Clerks, and Directors in carriages,
followed by several engines, ETC., drawn by
traction engine; Cumberland Valley Rail
road employees. several men who have been
in the employ of the company since 1888, and
the oldest engineer in the United States
Frick & Co., of WaynesBoro', 7l2 men in
line, and 500 Geiser manufacturing Company
employees, officers and clerks accompanied
by the A. 7. H. & l.. Company Band. In
the afternoon an historical address by George
Chambers. Esq, and a poem by John NJ.
Cooper, Esq, were delivered in the square.
At night the scene was one similar to the
description of fairy land. and was witnessed
by atIeast Ii, 200 people.

Not So Hopeful as Usual.

Maryland Republicans are not as hopeful
this year as usual The nomination of Blaine
has not inspired enthusiasm, while the selec-
ton of Cleveland has given Democrats hope
of a great national victory. The close of the
new registration two years ago found the Re-
publicans pretty well all registered, and the
Democratic vote probably ten thousand short.
At the following election the Republicans
made good showing. They captured few
judges and gained congressman, and expect
ed to capture the state government in 1888.
last year, however, the Democrats were bet
ter registered, and, though not as well united
as they should have been, they showed that
this state was Democratic by safe majority.
This year there will be a full registration and
u united front on election day, and the Re-
publicans have had some difficulty in getting
candidates for Congress. By reason of the
failure of the Democratic convention to nom
mate in this district, Mr.. Blair imagined that
some dissatisfaction would ensure, and he
might have chance to win, but he will be
more mistaken than he was two years ago,
when he several times in public speeches pre-
dicted his own election. William j. Hooper,
by reason of the great amount of money it
was supposed he would put into the canvass,
was nominated in the third district. He did
not care to waste time and money, and de-
clined, so Sebastian Brown was nominated.
The negroes, the bone and sinew of the Re-
publican party in Maryland, have revolted at
his nomination, and he will be buried very
deep. Mr.. Holton was nominated in the fifth
district, but he took nearly two weeks to de-
eide, not caring to waste time and money
against an opponent that would certainly de-
feat him. He has consented to stand, how
prompted him to accept. He knows he is
not fitted for congressman, and does not
desire to return. He was only taken up in
the first place on account of his wealth. He
had no other recommendation. By lavish
expenditure of money, and by reason of the
great number of Democrats not registered,
Mr.. Holton won by majority of sixteen or
seventeen hundred. That made him a hero,
and before he had taken his seat in Congress
he was put up for Governor. He was exhib-
tied around the state, and by his speeches
proved himself an ignoramus. Although
everywhere predicting his own election, he
was badly defeated. Even that portion of the
state comprising his congressional district
gave majority against him. Hon. Barnes
Compton will defeat him this fall, and that
will end Mr.. Holtons political career.
Mr.. MeComas may again be successful in
the sixth district, and, if so, he will be the
lone Republican in the House from Maryland.
Yet, Mr.. Nelson, the Democratic nominee, is
making an active canvass, and will make it
warm for Mr.. McComas, Lukewarmness for
Blaine and enthusiasts for Cleveland have
changed the situation in the sixth, and if Mr..
McComas was not now in Congress, he would
not be eager fora canvass for Representative

An Appeal to the Dead.

Hon. Lot NJ. Morrill,, formerly United
States Senator from Maine and Secretary of
the Treasury under Grants administration,
died about Is months ago, since which his
widow has resided at Augusta, in that State.
Mrs. Morrill, was recently surprised to receive
from Ohio an official letter directed to her
late husband. Opening it she found it to be
a very importunate appeal to Senator Morrill,
to visit Ohio, and to lend his aid in saving the
State to Mr. Blaine. The appeal was from
the chairman of Republican committee.
Mrs Morrill, was naturally indignant, and an.
swered as follows 81 am surprised and
shocked to receive such communication.
thought every citizen of this country knew my
husband was at rest | am in mourning for
him, but, as much as mourn his death,
thank my Father in heaven that He called
him home before the party he loved SO well
and did so much for had SO disgraced itself
as TO nominate so wicked and corrupt man
for the highest office within the gift of the
American people, as know and my husband
knew James G. Blaine to be. If he were
alive he would not support Mr.. Blaine or any
such man, even at the bidding Of his party. +"
In reply to an interviewer Wednesday,
Mrs. Morrill, said: 'My husband was visited
by Mr. Blaine at the beginning of the con-
gressional investigation into the Little Rock
Railroad bonds Mr.. Blaine, as he did to
Mnlligan, importuned my husband with tears
and entreaties to use his influence to save him.
When my husband resigned to go into the
cabinet it was generally understood, and my
husband so understood, that Gov. Chamber
lain would be appointed to fill the vacancy.
Instead, and to the surprise of every one,
Gov Conner appointed Mr.. Blaine, then a
Representative in Congress and under charges
in that body, to the vacancy"
As Mrs. Morrill, intimated, the appointment
of Mr. Blaine to the vacancy was evidently
to save him from the further investigation and
the Inevitable discriminating verdict of the
COMMITTEES. GOV. Connor had his reward.
He is now penssep agent for Maine, the
best Office next to the colIsctayship.

There is surplus in the United States
treasury of $500, 900, 200, for which the gov
eminent has no need. This surplus remains,
Notwithstanding the wholesale robbery that
has been Notwithstanding the
fraudulent naval contracts, starr route robber-
les, pension frauds, defalcations, and extrav-
agance in every department, amounting al
most to robbery The collection of this sur
plus affects every man, woman and child. A
government tax is collected indirectly, and is
not so heavily felt as direct tax in hard cash.
But the people Pay ii, by the increased price,
by reason of high tariffs, on everything they
buy for the household and farm. If the gov
eminent would undertake to collect an aver

While mills are closed, miners out of en-
ployment, business generally unsettled. and
wheat at eighty cents Il bushel and other
agricultural products proportionately low,
there is surplus of $500, 600, 900 in the United
States treasury. The government has no use
for this money, and its accumulation by ex-
cessive and unwarranted taxation is no better
than robbery of the people. With this sur
plus in the pockets of the peoples to each
man, woman and child in the country-busi-
ness would not now be so unsettled How
long would the people of Carroll county, or
any other county in the United States, keep

The population of Carroll county is $4,000.
How long would the Democrats have control
if they collected "a surplus, above even ex-

Well, don't the people think it time for the
Republican party to go?
