Woodensburg, 4th District.-The Demo
Gratis of this district although very sore at first
over their defeat, are now settled down to the
fact of it and are taking it very gracefully. OF
course, the majority ofthem can find very good
reasons why they were beaten, but undoubted-
ly the best reason was that given by Mr.. Cleve-
land, that Harrison had the most votes. Our
friend Senator German is roundly abused in
some quarters especially for the defeat of Con-
gresham Rayner in the Fourth district, which
they attribute directly to him. If all the NUT
terings and discomfort now heard materialize
there will be some lively times in the State next
fall. The good old ship Democracy is evil
IDENTIFY not in the soundest condition and if the
discomfort and faction strife now so obvious
continue their work, it may be possible that
they will scuttle the craft next fall and it may
go down amid the breakers of defeat
On last Monday night an election bet was
paid at Fairview between Mr.. Thomas Gill, Jr.,
and Mr. Joshua Gill The former wagered the
latter to wheel him through the village if Har-
rison was elected, while the latter was to do the
same for the former if Cleveland was elected
But Mr.. Joshua Gill winning, Mr.. Thomas Gill
prepared to fulfill the bet as stated above. A
wheelbarrow was procured, some lanterns were
fastened on the ends OF fence rails for torch
lights fifer and drummer were present and
the crowd in attendance to witness the perform
ance being large, the procession got ready to
move. Mr.. Joshua Gill was seated in the wheel
barrow, with large white hat on his head.
L
and the torch-light procession began to move
amid the cheers of the crowd, headed by the
fife and drum, the man in the wheelbarrow,
and the wheeler. The route was for distance
ofneary a half mle over soft dirt road Re-
turning, in crossing the railroad track, the
wheelbarrow was upset, dumping the occupant
out. But he soon gathered himselfup and was
in again. determined to have his ride out.
The Glyndon Republican club, which now
has quite large membership, has held one or
..r1Da Nlnll
arations for holding ratification meeting but
on account of not being able to secure speakers

respond with Mr.. w. w. Johnson, president of
the Young Mems Republican Club of Baltimore
with a view to the clubs becoming member
of the Republican League, after which it is ex-
pected that nearly or quite every Republican
of the district will become a member The
Democrats are also talking of making their club
in the district permanent affair.

have been literally torn to pieces, run race
with tariff reform and issue and on the home
stretch, ahead by at least league, yet the sun
still shines, the farmers, happy and serene,
have paid their bets, shaken hands over the
loss and gain, and with much complacency
settled down to the Notwithstanding, hauling,
calculating and preparing fer the coming sea-
son of inclemency and storm.
In the vicinity of Sweet Air much pride and
satisfaction is felt by the German residents at
the success of their undertaking in the erection
of the new church. The building is rapidly

ported much better and improving.
The only instance of ballot-stuffing and bri-
berry that came to my notice occurred in the
18th district, where Cleveland's majority was
returned with startling excess of the minority
and also where an ordinary cigar-boX was used
instead of the enjoined glass recepticle, much
othe disgust ofthe opposing Republicans The
occasion was during an election held by teacher
and pupils in the public school located i'll Long
Green Valley.
Unionville is looming up. The new dwell
ling ofMr. Joseph Miller, built by Mr.. Emerine,
and the residence of Mr.. John f. Sade, about

appearance. -,

Der of our citizens were duped out of small
change, good dinners and self respect last week
by the worst looking subject that has passed
this way in many moons. He was short,
stout fellow with left eye-tooth out, a pug-dog
face, big watch chain, Gerry well worn clothes
and general untidy makeup. He came from
the direction of Belair and hailed to the name
ofFrank Geiger, and had friend, George Bush.
He claimed to be drover and dealer in horses
in search of land and buildings for herding and
stabling The unsavory, unwashed thing soon
had an admiring retinue who listened to his
plausiblespeech with open mouths and anxious,
envious hearts. After few days sojOurn he
bargained for two farms in Hartford, adjoining
here and engaged their owners, who were to
remain this winter at SIS per month to just
look over the stock he would Immediately send
for wintering. One party Ghe arrangements
were made separately was to meet him in Belair
and the other in Baltimore next day for ex-
change of deeds and money, and with an at
tempt to borrow good round sum from EACH
which only failed because their surplus had all
gone with Cleveland, he took leave of them for
the station. AT this place he purchased, after
ostentatiously reporting the fine deals he had
made, a pair of gum boots and half bushel of
timothy, presenting some ones check on The
National Bank of Baltimore in payment. He
was told to endorse the check, that it would be
presented and the goods and change sent him
next day. He complied and took his departure
