THE CAMPAIGN OPEN.
Mr.. Compton, DR.. Tuck and Mr.. Frank
Holmes.


At the republican congressional
convention held at Laurel, Mr.. Frank
n. Holmes, Of ST. Mary's county,
made speech in which be charged
that Hon. Barnes Compton bad mis-
appropriated the school funds whilst
State Treasurer.
When Mr.. Compton opened bis
campaign at Gainesville be spoke as
follows:
"But at that convention there was
another Moses, but. from his ignor-
ance, be should tarry while 10 Jeri-
cho, and let bis beard grow longer. |
refer, OF course, to the genial Mr..
Holmes, of st. Mary's. This gentle
man was very anxious TO play the
goat, bit DR.. Tuck got ahead of bin.
lie told the convention that it be had
been nominated be would have

cord He charged that | misappro-
priated the school funds whilst treas
urer OF the State Why, bless your
dear innocent soul, Holmes. the State
treasurer has no more to do with the
school fund than you have. The
comptroller appropriates and pays
out the funds Ii you don't know
any more about the laws Of the State
than that, you bad better, ~ some
people suggested. stay home and De
tied to your wife's apron string"
To this, Mr. Holmes publishes q
reioinder 10 an open letter as follows:
,Sir-Your speech of the 9Th in-
slant, containing personal illusions to
me, with a copy of my speech ut
Laurel, as reported by the Enterprise
Of the "a instant. is herewith in

would ask, has the public school
money, or any portion thereof, been
diverted-levied 10 the name Of
schools aud applied TO other purposes!
Ii so, by whom? Are you directly
or indirectly responsible5 Does the
Constitution Of Maryland, article 6
section 3, read. THAT the treasurer
shall disburse the same the revenue
for the purposes of the state accord
lug to law, upon warrants drawn by
the comptroller, and On checks, coun-
tersigned by him, and not otherwise?"
Can man who winks at or is silent
when diversion is being prepetrated
against great interest, he said to be
friend Of that interest? If | have
nadverteutly or innocently wroOged
you or the Democratic party, show it;

seek forgiveness and to make repa-

On this point, we may soon ex-
pect to hear the musical voice Of DR..
Tuck floating through the Filth Con-
gressional district. giving bis views
on the past history of his opponent,
while holding official positions in
county, State and nation.
We hope, however, that the dis
cussion Of these local issues may not
entirely engross the attention of
these gentlemen. The people want
more important issues presented in
this canvass. The tariff. the silver

THEBE is hope gt this tme that :le hostile Apaches, who have been engaged m their murderous rad for a!moSt a year, will be safely taken prisoners oy the military forces. and be accorded the just measure of punishment their crimes merit. While no particular brilliancy is attached to the method bH which our forces have obtained posses sion ot these Indians, they having chos
 en to capitulate voluntarily, the be- stowal of the triumphant laurels and the honors 10 the conlue,ing hero are ques- tions of less importaGce than the dis position of the red fiends who have gwen themselves up. Were they white men. and American citizens, the solu- tion of the question would not be diff cult The hempen cord would Ue brought into early requisition. But in the case of a lot of lazy, tTeacheroUs. fisndish brutes, the probability IS that they will be transported into an indian heaven, where they will get plenty to eat and have nothing to do. We hope, Tor the sake of the justice so often mocked in the treatment Of these savages by our government, that an example will be made of tue leaders of these hostiles that will strike terror to the whole tribe now on the reservation. They only rec ognize the authority of brute force, and they will long hesitate before they place their own necks in jeopardy when they know that such retribltion will surely oyertake them.
