Stricken West Virginians.

A dispatch from Wheeling says: ga panic
prevails in that part of Clay county, West
Va, lying along Sycamore creek, arising from
the ravages Of u strange and fatal disease
among the few inhabitants of that region.
About fifty people have been attacked, of
whom score have died, and the death rate
promises to increase with great rapidity The
Weekly Progress says
" Every hour brings the sad news of an
other death. At first the malady was thought
to be hux, but it is now believed to be another
and more fatal disorder A vague, horrible
fear has begun to fill the breasts of some.
1t may not be cholera, but the symptoms are
very much like it. An instance of the fatal
effects of the disease is afforded by the family
of Justice Sizmore, well-known citizen.
Three of his sons are already dead, and as
they lay in their coffins three more were
writing and screaming with the awful torture
which carried off the others. We have been
unable TO learn the exact number of deaths,
but the reports are most alarming 1t IS
chiefly confined to children, who are attacked
and die within an hour, seemingly paralyzed
with pains.
"The Sycamore creek region is very sparsely
settled with a class of hardy mountaineers,
and as the region is one of pure water and
healthy mountain air, the outbreak seems I'M
accountable. The symptoms seem to suggest
the disease that last year prevailed in a num-
Der of counties in the extreme south western
part of this state and one or two over the line
in Kentucky"

Another Contrast.

Senator John Sherman, in his opening
speech in Ohio, gave the keynote to the cam
paign when he said
ssThe rebels are on top. Some of the very
men who boastfully threatened to break up
the Union, &C., &c, have been placed IN high
office again on the very seats of power which
they abandoned with scorn and defiance. /"
He then made an old -time s'bloody- shirt
speech, and did his best to stir up sectional
enmities and bitterness that were fast dying
out.
Last Saturday Gov. Hoadley opened the
Democratic campaign in Hamilton, Ohio.
He answered and criticised Sherman speech,
and closed that part of his remarks as follows:
40 the policy of alienation, the Demo
cratic party opposes union; for hate, 1t sub
stitutes love"
These men voice the sentiment Of their re-
spectiye parties, and it is very plain that the
Republican party is sectional and the Demo-
cratic is national This is what the Demo-
cratic party has always contended. 1t is
national in its principles, and national in its
extent. The Republican party is confined to
section, and its policy is for section.
CleveIand's vote in the North was nearly
equal to that for Blaine, while four states east
their electoral votes for him. Blaine scarcely
made respectable showing in the southern
half of the Union, and did not carry a single
state.
The Republican party is sectional.
The Democratic party is national.

Political Notes.

Tammany Hall Democrats say they have
no candidate for governor of New York, and
will stand by the nominee.
An independent colOred club has been or
gained at Staunton, Va. The members indi-
cate their purpose to vote for the Democratic
State ticket.
The returns from the special election for
Congressman in the third congressional dis
trict of Arkansas, held Monday, indicate the
election of McRae, the regular Democratic
nominee, over Mitchell, his independent com
petitor. by large majority.
The President and his Cabinet are expected
to attend the Iroquois Club jubilation in Chi
cago on November 4th. Among the prospee-
tive speakers at the banquet are Vice Presi-
dent Hendricks, Secretaries Whitney and
Lamar, Speaker Carlisle, Senators Hampton,
Vance and Voorhees,, Representatives Curtin,
Reagan and Blackburn, and ex Senator Thur
man.
A number of circulars sent by Thomas v.
Cooper, Chairman of the Republican State
Committee Of Pennsylvania, to employees of
the Pension Bureau and the General Land
Office in Washington, soliciting political con-
tributions, have been referred by the Acting
Secretary of the interior to the Civil Service
Commission for action. 1t is claimed that
these circulars are in violation of the civil
service law.
The Hon. John s. Wise recently wrote to
Capt J. H. Rives, of Lynchburg, Va, asking
his support for the governorship, and request
ing the Captain to be present when he (Wise)
speaks in Lynchburg this month. To this
Capt Rives replied briefly, giving Wise his
reasons why he could not support him on the
Malone ticket. Capt. Rives was formerly
collector of internal revenue in the Lynch
burg district as we'll as the late chairman of
Mahone's State committee He was also the
Republican candidate for Congress in 1882.
The ticket recently nominated by the Re
publicans of CINCINNATI is openly denounced
by leading members of the party in that city
as an exceedingly bad and weak one, and there
is already strong talk of mass meeting to
put forward another ticket to represent the
better elements of the party. The CONNER
cial Gazette the Republican organ, yields the
ticket only a halfhearted support, and re-
marks that sit is sorry It is not better and
glad it is not worse" The indications are
that if the Democrats exercise wisdom and
nominate good ticket it will sweep Hamilton
county by an uneXampled majority, and the
Cincinnati Enquirer appeals to the party to
put forward the ablest and strongest men.
With the Hamilton county legislative delega-
ton Democratic, the chances of Hon. John
Sherman for reelection TO Senate would be
very slim.

There seems to be no rush for the Republic
can nomination for Comptroller or for Clerk
of the Court of Appeals. Some years ago
nominations for such positions as these, and
for Governor and Congress, were eagerly
sought. Although the nominees had no hope
of election, yet to have run and been defeated
placed them in the positions of martyrs, SO to
speak, and the Republican Administration at
Washington usually found good places, with
comfortable salaries, for them. But the Re-
publicans do not reign supreme in Washing
ton now; there is no chance to play the role
of martyr, consequently there are not so many
patriots in the Republican party to sacrifice
themselves on the political altar When
there is no hope for Office, there are no can
didates. The Republicans of Maryland have
no sacrifices to make for principle. In fact,
it looks like the party had no principle, ex-
cept the principle of ofice-holding.

Second Comptroller Maynard, of the Treas
ury, has just rendered decision disallowing
an item of $500 for expenses incurred by Rear
Admiral Jouett, of the United States steam
ship Tennessee, in entertaining certain public
officials at the New Orleans Exposition.
Judge Maynard holds that there is no law for
such expenditures, and that there is no statute
or naval regulation which imposes on naval
officers the duty of entertaining public officials
at the expense of the government. Admiral
Jouett forgot that he was living in the days OF
strict enforcement of the Law and Democratic
economy. Republican methods have passed
away now, and he will know better hereafter.

Mr.. Miller Withdraws.

Mr.. George A. Miller has Withdrawn from
the contest for Clerk of the Circuit Court. In
his card of withdrawal, to be found in this
issue, Mr.. Miller says he is entirely satisfied
that party harmony will be best promoted by
his withdrawal, and he promises an earnest
support to the ticket that will be nominated
by the Democratic convention. This act is
frank, manly and Democratic. Being con-
WINGED that party harmony demands his with
drawal, he goes out of the contest. Demo-
cratic principles and Democratic success
should always be placed before personal in
ternsts

CAMPAIGN OF 1885.

The campaign of 1885 will be one of the
most important for many years For the first
time for about quarter of century the
Democratic party is IL power in the govern
ment Although the Cleveland Administra-
ton has been in Office but short time, it will
be on trial TO some extent, and great interest
therefore attaches to the campaign this year
throughout the country. The contests in Ohio
and New York are of special Importance, and
the election in Maryland is one of great i'm
porIamce also In order to supply political
information at a price within the reach of
all, the Democratic ADVOCATE will be sent
to any address from September II to Novem-
Der for % cents. Make up clubs at every
postoffice, and send in names by Monday, the

Messrs. Eugene Higgins and Morris A.
Thomas, both fwhom have received appoint
ments under the Cleveland Administration,
cause great trouble among Civil Service Re-
formers and Independents in Baltimore. Mr.
German; in an interview with Secretary La
mar, refers to these 'self-styled reformers,
who, he says, are continually warning on active
Democrats, but having nothing to say of the
Republicans holding Office in Maryland who
have been rated for years as INSCRIPTIONS po-
litical managers. That was well put. If some
Of the Republican ohicer-holders in Baltimore
are guilty of one half charged against them,
they are guilty of very disreputable conduct.
Yet, the Civil Service Reformers have moth
ing to say against their retention. The best
thing the Administration could do, would be
to pay no attention to their protests. They
are Democratic enemies in disguise.

While Johnny Wise is bending his efforts to
elect himself governor of Virginia, thinking
he is having the backing and earnest support
of Malone, the latter is most concerned over
his reelection to the Uaited States Senate.
Malone no doubt loves Wise, but loves him
self most, and will sacrifice Johnny to save
himselfif there is a necessity for it. The
Democrats of Virginia should be watchful and
secure the Legislature. The retirement OF
Malone from the Senate would be hailed with
as much satisfaction as was the election of

Democratic Primaries.

Democratic primaries, to select delegates
to county convention, will be held next Sat
urday in the several districts of Carroll. The
convention, which will meet on the Monday
following, will nominate candidates for the
offices to be filled by the people by election
on November 3rd The ADVOCATE has sew
eral times urged moderation on the part of
aspirants and their friends in the canvass for
nomination, and we would again remind them
to be careful rot to be too Jealous. The party
should be more interested in Democratic
principles and having government admins
tered under them, than in individuals.
The application of Democratic principles
has given Maryland a government equal
to that of the most highly favored states, with
a tax rate lower than in three-fourths of the
commonwealth of the Union. Under Dem
ocratic government in Carroll we have as
good roads, bridges and schools as elsewhere,
and the people enjoy life, liberty and property
to an extent unsurpassed by any other COM
munity. Carroll has the lowest tax rate OF
any county in the state, and the people are
not burdened by bonded Indebtedness.
These are blessings that should be priced.
Their con inuance should be the sole aim OF
the Democratic party, and Democrats should
be no further concerned in regard to public
officials than to see to it that they hold to
Democratic principles and are honest and
capable

IN MEMORIAM.
Gone from a world of sin and care
To dwell where saints and angels are;
Gone to behold His loving face,


Who saved her by HIS sovereign grace.
Our beloved friend and Christian sister HANNAH
A. DAVIS departed this life WateIsvie, Carroll
county, Nd, on Monday, August 1Tth 1880, after
seven weeks of the most intense bodily suffering,
which she bore with that patient resignation which
is the offspring of the faith that says For reckon
that the sufFerings of the present time not wor

Sister Davis professed change of heart thirty
years ago under the ministry of that eminent and
devoted Christian pastor, the Rev. DR.. Richard Full
ler of Baltimore. She was baptized by him and
united with the church of which he had charge,
and she proved by her life and eXemplifed in her
death the genuneneSs of her profession of attach
ment to the Lord Jesus Christ her Redeemer and
her Guide. The desire which she constantly express
ed that she might so live here as to reign with
Christ in glory" From the time of her illness she
was deeply impressed with the conviction that it
would be her last. She would not allow the dear
about her to indulge the hope of her recovery,
but expressed herself as being ready and even anX
ious to depart and be with Christ She would say :
Come, Lord Jesus and come quickly" About two
hours before her death, grasping the hand of her
sister she said "How hard 1t is for the body and
soul to part! But the Lord is with me- the mansion
He has prepared is ready will soon enter in" In
this happy frame of mind she continued until death
closed the scene
She had requested that before the removal of her
mortal remains from the house in which she died
her loYed ones should sing hymn and offer prayer,
and this request was complied with Her funeral "a
Glover, of the Presbyterian Church, officiating
Loving hands laid her body in the old family bury
ingground by the side of her two sisters previously
departed Her only surviving sister, Mrs. Sim,
widow of the late Rev DR., Thomas Sim, of Liberty
town (of precious memoFyG her only surviving
brother, S, q, Davis. and many sympathizing rela-
tives and friends, were present.
The writer of these lines was long and intimately
acquainted with Sister Davis and had abundant
cause for thanksgiving to God that he could claim
her as one of his circle Of Christian friends. That
circle becomes smaller on earth as the years roll on
hut il is ov to know that it will be renewed and
peFpetuated in heaven.
There friends shall meet again
Who have loved:
Their communion will be sweet
At the dear Redeemer's feet
When they meet to part no more,
Who have loved"
