ADDRESS BY s. THos. MCCULLOUGH.
Theu followed an eloquent address
by S. Thos. Mccullough, Esq, which
closed the exercises of the day. Mr..
Mccullough spoke as follows:
Twenty long years had elapsed
since the last gun was fired, the last
long roll beat to arms, and the last
charge was made in that conflict in
which brave Americans met, each
solemnly impressed with the justice of
his cause, and each ready to lay down
his life in obedience to his convic-
tions. He then spoke of the great
changes that had taken place since
then, of the grand progress made by
us, as a people, and of our wealth in
every department of industrial enter
prise-truly had "the lines fallen to
US in pleasant places and ours was
goodly heritage"
He then spoke of the changed rela-
tions between the people of the two
sections, the fraternal intercourse con-
stantly going on between them, and
said we had at last come to feel that
we were indeed one people, of one
common race and heritage, and hav-
ing common future hope and des-
tiny.
Mr.. Mccullough then spoke of the
re unions taking place in various
sections of the land, notably of the
recent visit of the 28th N. Y. volun-
teers to the 5thVa. (Confederate) Reg
iment, and of the princely and royal
welcome extend by the boys who
wore the grey to those who wore the
blue-and the noble patriotic and
eloquent sentiments uttered by both
on the occasion.
We regret that our limited space
prevents us from giving more ex
tended synopsis of Mr.. McCullough's
oration.

THE THIRD DISTRICT.
NORTH SEVERN, May 20, 1884.
Mr. Editor:
1t is seldom we are called upon to
record at the same time, the death of
two prominent members of one COM
munity-two persons, who have been
Unidentified in social and political life
so many years together, should pass
away, from the tolls and cares of this
world within a few hours of each
other. We refer to PETER SHEMINANr
prominent citizen, reliable merchant
and shrewd politician, and DR.. SAML.
ID. LYNCH, respected gentleman,
eminent physician, and CONSPICUOUS
in the politics of this district for many
years. Two men have gone from
neighborhood who will be remem-
bered with regret by those with
whom they mingled in the daily
paths of life.
DR.. Lynch has practiced medicine
for nearly half a century in the vicinity
in which he lived, and had endeared
himself to many, by his kind solici
tude for his patients.
Mr.. Scheminant was buried on
Sunday afternoon and DR.. Lynch on
Monday afternoon. Both funerals
were largely attended, by friends
from this, and other districts, also
Baltimore city; which fact was evi-
dence of the high esteem in which both
were held in this community. b.

EDWARD EVERETT HALE, discussing the
political situation, in the Independent,
says: 1.-The situation as | understand it,
is this: From 1901 TO 1861 the National
Administration was generally in the
hands of compact Southern oligarchy,
which used the machinery of ministra-
ton for its own purposes, and greatly to
the injury of the Nation. From 1861 to
this time 1t has been in the hands of the
Northern States. In this period have
been made the greatest advances in the
National history, and for the first time
there has been n certain effort to make
the Government represent the principles
on which we all say it is founded. 1t
now seems possible for the solid South
ern oligarchy, by combination with
the voters Of the worst wards Of the city
OF New York, to regain the power they
lost In 1861. Many gentlemen, whom
highly respect, ask me and others who
have voted with the Republican party to
assist this combination. You ask me to.
l do not think | shall-very much. IL
must be remembered that the election of
a Democratic President means the cleo
ton OF a Democratic Congress. Though
he were an immaculate saint, as believe
1t Is proposed that he shall be, he could
DO little to restrain the hunger of such O
throng' For, very fortunately, the
PRESIDENT with us has but little power
wnen he is alone. The election Of .
Republican President means the election
OF Republican Congress. Such Con
gress can not do much harm; 1t may pre-
vent a good deal. / am told that th.

1t is only question Of offices. The Re-

ces, naturally wants to keep them. The
Democratic party, out Of power, natur-
ally wants to get power and get the
Offices. The so-called Independents of
the Republican party, dissatisfied be-
cause they have not received enough
from the Republican crib, are hoping
that the Democratic bowl will be so full
that from the overflow they may catch
something in their cup; while | have to
tell all such persons that they had bet
ter not be disappointed, for they will
never get so much as spoonful OF pap
from the Democratic bowl. That party,
after n privation of q years, cannot be
blamed II they keep all they get. Abso-
lutely nothing but question Of offices.

The question OF Presidential candl-
dates taking the stump, is one of great
import on the ground that they are apt
to say something that can be used
against them. This is quite true as re-
CARDS General Hancock who, while he
did not exactly make n speech, yet his
utterance that the tariff question was
simply a local issue, settled his Presiden-
tial hash very positively. But with
Blaine that position would be different.
lie is campaigner from Campaignville,
and knows what to say and how to say
it; and as he will be the recipient Of
about all the abuse possible during the
campaign, he would run but little chance
of making any great slip, and the ques-
tion of his election would not be in any
manner jeopardized. The sourrility
now being hurled at Mr.. Blaine, If kept
up during the campaign, will make his
election sure, for 1t has about passed in
to proverb, that the man who is most
abused and has the most political mud
thrown at him, If he have any abilities
whatever, will succeed. This is the
logic Of politics, MS one of the best
things about human nature and the mass
Of great American voters, is that they
always sympathize with the man who Is
traduced. Mr.. Blaine, in 1876, met his
accusers and vindIcated himself fully
and freely of every act charged against
him then, which are simply being re-
peated now, ard his appearance in the
latter part of the campaign, either in the
South or East, would give to the ticket
a success unprecedented and make the
campaign one that will live long in his
tory.

completely with the revolt Of 1913. while
yet II student in the university, and the
only wonder is that he did not join the

ltcal heresies he adds that Of free trade,
and that alone would be sufficient to in

the financial ability of the campaign
committee proves TO be sufficiently
strong to overcome MIR. Schurz's con-

The Golad Guard favors San Anto-
MOS efforts to secure the Gulf road, and
says: ''San Antonio still wants TO own
and control railroad to the Gulf. The
movement recently agltated In the Ala
mo city, was TO build the road to Aran-
sas Pass. over S2O0,0OO was subscribed
to the stock, but we are told this amount
was raised by men Of small means, with
prospect of bankers and other wealthy
men taking stock. We would have
more confidence In San Antonio building
the road If her monied men had been
the first to subscribe TO the capital stock.
We are not disposed to discourage the
enterprise, however, and hope the San
Antonians may succeed this time"
