The Situation In Ohjo.

Now that the Ohio nominations are
complete on both sides, speculation
as to the results of the election turn
chiefly upon two elements of uncer-
tainty-the Prohibition vote and the
colored vote. 1t is asserted, and reit.
Grated with great positiveness, that
there is much dissatisfaction among
the cOlored voters of Ohio with the
nomination of Foraker. This state
ment is, however, emphatically de.
MED, and no substantial proof has
been offered in support of it. There
are about twenty thousand colored
voters in Ohio, and, of course, any
bolt they might make of the Repub-
llcan nominations would be seriously
felt, but there is at present no reason.
to fear that any such bolt will take
place. 1t is Democratic wish that is
the father of the thought.
The Prohibition vote is rendered
uncertain by reason of an element of
comedy that has forced its way into
the very serious canvass. 1t is charg.
ed upon the sworn statement of "a
witness Who cannot be ignored that
the Prohibition candidate, while suf-
fering with dyspepsia, took bottled
ale as a medicine, but took it clan.
destinely in the woods at a camp
meeting. This is positively denied
by the Prohibition candidate, but the
witness makes his statement in de-
tail and promises to give the name OF
the doctor who prescribed the ale and
other proofs. 1t is not improbable
that the Prohibition vote will be Sc.
riousIy affected by it.
There are other elements of uncer-
tainty. There is said to be free
trade revolt in Hurd's district, where
the nomination of Hoadly is regard
ed as "a rebuke." There is also a
split in the Democracy, led by NAL
lon, defeated Democratic candidate
for sheriff. He leads a working.
mans party" and has the support Of
the knights of Labor.
There are other and lesser elements
of uncertainty, but one of the mosI
powerful of these is the personal pop.
ularity Of the candidates. Foraker is
a popular man. Hoadly is quite the
reverse. The Republicans will rely
on an active an stirring campaign
and the Democrats on a still hunt

Put Good Men on Guard.

Sometime ago we called the atten-
ton of our Republican readers to the
importance of nominating our best
men for the offices to be filled next
fall. Since writing that article ample
time has passed in which to thor
oughly consider the subject, and we
trust not only that this has been done
but that the Republican party of Gar
rett county is prepared to act upon
the suggestions we then made. We
feel that the importance of the sub
.ject demands our earnest and careful
thought and our energetic action, and
we trust we may be pardoned if we
again urge it's attention upon our
readers. The Republican party owes
it o,itself to nominate good men. If
both political parties would nominate
good men the public interests would
not suffer, no matter which party
might succeed for the time being.
Experience has demonstrated that
the public interests have not been
subserved by the election of Demo-
Gratis heretofore, and with the eXpe-
rience Of the past two years before
them the people are not likely to re-
peat the experiment. This is a Re-
publican county by majority al
though not large yet decided, and we
may reasonably look forward to the
election of a Republican ticket. This
being, as we believe, the case, we re-
gard it all the more important that
none but good men should be nomi-
mated, and then, when the people
vote for such men, they will feel not
only that they are voting for the
men who are going to be elected, but
that when they are elected they will
have the ability as we'll as the integ-
rity to faithfully discharge their du-
ties. Don't nominate men simply
because they say they are strong;
don't nominate them because they
think they can capture few Demo-
cratic votes; don't nominate half-and-
half milk.and-water Republicans.
Nominate men about whose political
principles there can be no doubt, true
men-men who command the conf
dence of their party and challenge
the respect of the opposition. With
a ticket composed of such men we
may snap our fingers at the Democ-
racy. With a ticket composed of
different material we will deserve de-
feat.

Death of Judge VIM. Motter.

HAGERSTOWN, August ok
Judge VIM. Motter died between II
and II o'clock last night at his resi-
dence, this place, aged siXty-eight
years four months and tWenty-seyen
days. He was in falling health for
some time, and his death was not I'M.
expected. Deceased was born in 1917,
at Emmittsburg, Frederick county,
and graduated at the age of nineteen
at Princeton College, having also at
tended for short time Pennsylvania
College, at Gettysburg, Pa. He stud
led law with William Schley and
Edward A. Lynch, at Frederick,
having as fellow-student at the time
the late Judge Geo. A. Pearre, with
whom he afterwards practiced law
for six months in Cumberland. Civ
ing up his practice at Cumberland at
the end of that period, he removed
to Wheeling, w. Va, and thence, IN
1915, to HagerstoWn, where he has
since resided. lie was defeated for
the State Senate in 1857, but two
years later was elected states att0r-
ney of this county, and in 1867 was
chosen member Of the Constitu.
tional Convention. In the same year,
at the first election under the new
Constitution, he was chosen associate
judge of this, the Fourth judicial cir
cult of Maryland. He was succeeded
in 1882 by Judge A. X. Syester, who
is now on the bench. Upon his re-
tirement from the bench he resumed
the practice of the law. While on
the bench, he was regarded as a safe
and impartial jurist. and he enjoyed
the esteem and confidence of the COM
munity in every position he held.
Judge Motter was twice married. BY
his first wife he had one daughter,
who married DR.. Bruce. of Cumber-

cheering information that the cOun-
try is to have a very large aggregate
of crops this year, The cotton and
corn crops, we are told, will be the
largest ever grown, whilst the wheat
crop, although less than usual, will
be far more than We can possibly con-
sumo. With this point settled we
need not be seriously disturbed, al
though the dispute about the GUAM
tity or yield of wheat is kept up even
after the entire crop is harvested. If
any fellow wants to lie in the inter-
est of his grain investments we can't
prevent him, but the people know
enough about the crops now to feel
very comfortable Withal.

A National Grant Monument.

From a letter in the Boston Herald.
OF course the Washington people
are thinking somewhat about the
Grant monument to be erected here;
but they do not expect to raise the
money for it, nor do they expect to
determine its character. If it is to be
a truly national memorial and wOr-
thy of the greatness of the name it
shall commemorate it ought, it seems
to me, to be grand triumphal arch,
and ii ought not to cost less than
81 100000. A grand arch would be
in the cOmpletest possible contrast to
the Washington Obelisk, and it could
be so placed as to show to wonderful
advantage. One admirable site for
such work of art would be on the high
ground at the head of Sixteenth st.
This is nearly as fine an elevation as
that on which the Are de TriOmphe
stands in Paris, and the surrounding
avenues could be made very splen-
did. But the grandest site that could
be named would be the hill at Arl-
ington. Then we should have the
Washington monument on one side
of the river and the Grant monument
on the other. Very soon the growth
of the city will require the occupation
of the land between Arlington Gene
terry and the river bluff opposite
Georgetown for dwelling sites. Uiti-
mately the District of Columbia must
be restored to its original size of 10
miles square. There is great need of
new and adequate bridge on the
high level of the city to span the river
between the National Observatory
and Arlington House. TO build this
vast highway and to put the Grant
triumphaI arch at the Arlington end
of it would be the most admirable i'm.
prOvement that could be suggested
| 1t is too great and costly an enter
prise for the citizens of the District
to think of carrying through without
the help of Congress.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1885-08-29

Early in the season the attention
of the corporation authorities was re-
peatedly called to the necessity of
opening certain streets and alleys in
the town for the comfort and con-
venience of the people. Attention
has also been called to the obligation
resting upon The Burguess and Com
missioners in connection with the
opening of these public thorough
fares, which have been closed with
out a shadow of authority. To all
appeals thus far, so far as we know,
q deaf ear has been turned by the
town authorities, who seem to regard
themselves as the masters of the peo-
pie. How is this matter to be under
stood? Is the law designed for the
government of few only, or does it
apply with equal force upon all :? Can
two or three gentlemen of some
prominence in the town keep alleys
and streets closed up and defy the
law, whilst men of less influence are
required to obey the law? The peo-
pie do not complain because some are
required to obey, but rather because
Others are not required to respect the
law.
Some of our people seem to feel
that forbearance has long since ceased
to be virtue in this matter, They
seem we'll assured, also, that it is of
no use trying to induce the town au-
thorities to enforce the plainest pro,
visions of the law. We have often
heard that for every wrong there is a
remedy, and it seems to US the rene
dy in this case would be to lay the
matter before the Grand Jury, to
which the people and officials are
alike accountable. At any rate there
can be no harm in trying this remedy.

State of Trade.

New York, August %. Brad
streets Journal in its commercial
summary says: 1.-THE encouraging
features of the general trade situation
heretofore reported haye been report
ed in special kilograms received by
Br0dStreetS this week. Those spe-
cific advices from Boston state that
while the feeling in trade circles is
more encouraging, the gain in the
volume of trade which has taken
place is not large. Still it is of sig
nificance that at Philadelphia, Gin
cinnati. Memphis and Burlington,
the leading jobbers record better sales
and an improved feeling in trade cir
Giles. AtChicago there has been some
depression, owing to the decline in
the price of wheat, but otherwise
there is no change. AT st. Louis the
threatened strike of the Gould road
operatives belonging to the knights
of Labor depressed trade by causing
the Withholding of orders from the
interior. At Cleveland it is wired
that trade is fair for the season only.
AT New York only moderate aver
age of the reports recorded above is
true. Leading dealers in staple lines
at New York regard the general i'm
provement noticed here, mainly in
cotton goods and wool, as pointing to
the usual excess demand customary
at the opening of autumn. The ne
cessitated outlay in the fall is heavier
than in the spring, General inquiry
fails to find an eXceptatiOn of con.

Awful Responsibility.

WASHINGTON, August 25-"The
government at Washington still
lives" but there is only one men,
Der of the Cabinet in the city. Most
of the departments are run by the
rascally Republican chiefs and en-
poyes, whom Democratic editors
have been finding so much fault with
of late, and the government is being
carried along in the same manner as
it was under a Republican admins
tration. 1t will be remembered a
great deal was once said about the
present administration being a bust
ness affair, and during the last cam
paign Mr.. Cleveland was credited
with saying that President of the
United States had no right to absent
himself from Washington, where the
business of his Office called him, for a
longer period than two weeks at the
most, but here he has been absent
now going on three weeks, and there
is nothing known as to when he will
return. Mr.. Cleveland has probably
changed his mind since he entered
the White House as to what "A Presi-
dent of the United States should do.
At any rate, "the government at
Washington still lives" in spite of
the absence of those who have sworn
to administer it.
