clazeland,s Administration.


"What is thought of Clevelaud's Ad-
ministration ?" is questiun often asked.
The answer is found
In an increased Democratic majority in
New York of more than 10000;
An overwhelming Democratic victory in
Virginia, that as a result displaces Malone
with Democrat;
Increased Democratic vote at all the
local elections the past winter and spring !;
Increased Democratic majority the pres
ent week of about 10000 in Tennessee.
The tide is all in favor of Democratic
supremacy, and the elections this fall will
show, we believe, hearty endorsement of
Democratic rule. Not only will a Demo-
cratic House be returned, but the Repub-
lican majority in the Senate will be turned
or made too slender to be able to seriously
embarrass the Administration during the
latter half of its term
What has caused this result ? The
answer is found in the practical reforms
inaugurated.
Mr.. Cleveland and the Democratic party
has given the country safe and economi-
cal administration, and disproved the as
sertions of incompetency.
Land grab jobs have ceased, and unearned
grants to railroads have been declared for
feited and thrown open to settlement.
Straw bids in the postal service are a
thing of the past.
A check has been put toreckless pension
legislation by the intervention of the pres
idential veto.
Excessive appropriations for public build
ings have been cut off
Public officials have been taught to re-
gard themselves as public seryants-not
the masters of the people.
Honesty and capacity are essentials to
entering the public service-not mere ca
pacity for partisan work.
These and other reforms has assured the
people not only of the capacity of the Dem.
ocratic party to govern wisely and well, but
of purpose to give the country a safe and
economical administration.
The President would be more than hui
man if some mistakes were not made, but
so far the errors are unimportant. He is
stronger to-day with the people than wher
elected in 1884, and is growing stronger
every day, His consistency, his conserva
tism, his sound views, and strict observance
of the constitution and the laws, his con
sciencious discharge of duty, and his firm
ness have made him trusted and admired
by the people.

An Intended Elopement.

Summit Grove Camp, on the Northern
Central Railway, over in Pennsylvania, which
closed this week, was the scene of little af-
fair not on the program. A correspondent
of a Baltimore paper thus gives an account
of it.
The particulars of how an intended elope-
ment at Summit Grove, on Monday, was
cleverly foiled came to light on Tuesday. Mr..
Welsh, who keeps the boarding tent, noticed
young lady from York, Pa, apparently not
over 16 years of age, whom be knew intimate
ly, sauntering around the grounds as if she
were waiting for something or somebody.
He invited her into dinner, and after dinner
asked her to spend the afternoon with his
family and return to York in the evening.
The young lady said she could not do that,
because she was going to Washington, and
had a ticket for that city. Mr.. Welsh thought
it very strange that the girl should be going
to Washington alone, and determined to let
her father know what was going on. He
sought the assistance ofConstable Hedrick, of
the county. The young lady was introduced
to officer Hedrick, who managed to entertain
her for some time, without disclosing his
identity. In the meantime Mr.. Welsh went
to the station and telephoned to the father of
the girl of her intention of going to Washing
ton. The father telephoned back to arrest
his daughter and hold her until he arrived.
Here the other party to the intended elope
ment may be introduced. A young man was
seen sauntering round in close proximity 10
the young lady and watching her movements.
but he did not approach her, as she was
closely watched by the officer. The young
man is a printer from Washington, and had
only become acquainted with the young lady
about three weeks before while at picnic at
Glen Rock. The plan, it was stated, was
that the two were to meet at Summit Grove,
and from there proceed to Washington, where
they were to be married. About the time
that the express train was expected from
Harrisburg, which is due at Summit Grove
at 5.35 p. M, the young lady became restless
and said that she must go to the depot; that
she wished to leave on the train. Officer
Hedrick at this iuncture disclosed to the as
tonished girl who he was, and told her that
she was under arrest and could not go away
on the train, but that her father would ar
rive on the train in question to conduct her
back to her home. The girl, with saddened
look and more saddened heart, awaited the
arrival of her father, and when he came joined
Kim without much remonstrance. tram
north soon came along, and the father with
his daughter got aboard, and were soon on
their way to York. The young man who was
expecting soon to be made happy husband
looked on from afar, but did not attempt to
seek an acquaintance with his intended father
in law. The young man was seen meander-
ing alone around the camp late at night.
This is the romantic part of Summit Grove
camp for 1886, which has now passed into
history.

A Firm Executive.


A New York contemporary has pre-
pared "A table showing the number Of bills
vetoed by each of the twenty-five Presl-
dents from Washington to Cleveland.
Eight of them-Adams, Jefferson, Adams,
Van Buren,, Harrison, Taylor, Fillmore and
Garfield-vetoed none; Washington vetoed
.: Madison, 3; Monroe, l; jackson, II;
TYLER, .; Polk, 3; Pierce, 10; Buchanan, 4;
Lincoln, l; johnson, 81; Grant, %; Hayes,
u; Arthur, A. Cleveland, Ill. In ninety
five years twenty-one Presidents vetoed LOG
bills. In eight months President Cleveland
vetoed III bills.
This statement may be set down to MIR.
CIeveland's credit There probably never
was time in the history of the govern
ment when there was so much reckless
legislation and so much need of the exer-
else of the veto, except the eight years i'm
mediately succeeding the war, when Con
gress and the Executive were in accord
and scarcely any measure was questioned
The most of these vetoes were of specia
pension bills and appropriations for public
buildings, of which an unusual number
were passed last session; and but one Of al
the pension bills was passed over the Pres
ident's veto, and that one was case IL
which all the papers were not sent to the
President, so that he could not have {
proper understanding of it. There seems
to have been scheme on the part of the
Republican Senate to deplete the Treasury
as far as possible, against which the Dem
ocrats were not sufficiently vigilant, and i
is fortunate for the country that it had al
Executive who is not afraid to take thu
responsibility, and to exercise the vet'
power as often as the recklessness of Con
gress made it necessary. He has shown
in this respect some of the qualities of Ole
Hickory, who never hesitated to take thu
responsibility when the occasion demanded

ITO THE FARMERS of Carroll

zELL,s FERTILIZERS.
We wish to call your attention to the just

These fertilizers have been extensively used
by many of the leading farmers of Carroll aud
the adjoining counties for the past SIX or eight
years successfully, with the most gratifying
results. They not only realized the most ex-
cellent crops of grain and grass, but their
farms improved under its application. AS a
grass producer it has no superior. Many
farmers will attest to the above facts.
Also the Chemical Company of Canton's
Fertilizers, though not so long in use, are
making for themselves splendid reputation.
These various brands of fertilizers all will be
in good condition for drilling, and will be sold
this season cheaper than ever before. Farm
ers will do well to examine our stock before
giving their orders or purchasing elsewhere.
A full supply of these goods will be kept
on hand during the season of 1886, at

The elections this fall will interest the
whole people, as United States House of
Representatives is to be chosen. The
House is now Democratic and the vote for
Representatives will be a question of en-
dorsement or censure of the Democratic
Administration. Local matters will have
more or less influence, but the result will
be regarded as above stated. In a number
of states state officers and legislatures will
be chosen, and the latter will have to elect
United States Senators The Republicans
control the Upper house of the national
Legislature, and will struggle to maintain
that control 1t is their last Judgment,
and when that is lost the party will be
completely gone. The first of the elections

Congress appropriated 100000 for a
public building at Annapolis, and Presi-
dent Cleveland vetoed the bill. Annapo-
litans are in consequence greatly disap-
pointed. We see no cause for disappoint-
ment. Such action might have been ex-
pected from so careful guardian of the
public treasury. The sum appropriated
was nothing less than reckless extravaganza,
and there was nothing left for the Presi-
dent to do but veto the bill. Annapolis
ought to have public building for post

would have been ample Had the bill ap.

Secretary Bayard's Position.

Secretary Bayard defined his position in
the Cutting case to correspondent on Sun
day night He said "he considered the prin-
ciple involved in the Cutting affair to be one
of the gravest Importance, and one as to
which the whole country, without reference
to party, should be a unit. The personal
merits or dement's of Cutting have nothing
to do with the matter. Mexico
claims in Cuttings case the right to try an
American citizen for an offence committed in
the United States and Cutting has actually
been convicted and sentenced for publishing
a libel in Texas The Secretary thinks
"this raises the gravest possible question be-
tween the two countries, and, if Mexico's
claim we're once conceded, no American
travelling in Mexico would be safe." He
sees no reason, however, why satisfactory
adjustment should not be reached, as he is
assured that such is the desire of the Next
can Government The other questionable
judicial murder of Arresures, Illegally ex
tradited by the Texan authorities, is in pro-
cess of settlement.

AS the day for the nomination of can
didate for Congress in this district ap-
proaches, public sentiment seems to be
crystalizing into the belief that J. f. G..
Talbot will have no chance of even carry
ing his own county, and that DR.. Shaw will
be renominated without opposition. This
is as it should be. DIR. Shaw is entitled by
courtesy and usage to the nomination, and
more SO by reason of his faithful services
to his constituents.

The Republican State Committee of
New York have decided not to call state
convention this year, and the committee
will nominate the candidate for Judge of

the trouble Of holding county and state
