He Didn't Know it Was Loaded.

An amusing incident occurred last
week at the Democratic meeting at
Offutt's Hall. The Hon. Mr.. Stone,
from Missouri, launched out on his
speech in regular spread-eagle FASH
ion, and before going very far with
II, he wound up one of his glowing
periods with James G.. Blaine.n
The response was spontaneous out
burst of applause, with a "Hurrah
for Blaine" A little later he again
pronounced the name of Blaine,
which was again promptly applaud
ed. The result was that the speech
which followed was one of the latest.
most pointless efforts ever listened to
in the town of Oakland and not
much wonder, as Democratic orator
could hardly be expected to be bril-
liant or Instructive, or even amusing
when at the bare mention of the
name of the great Republican leader,
his audience would go off at the half
cock. while the name of the great
Democratic mogul produced silence
that was oppressive. 1t showed that
out of compassion for the poor dis
couraged Democracy, the Republi-
cans had turned out to give them a
good send off in Garrett, so that,
when they roll up great big, rous-
Ing Republican majority this fall. as
they will surely do, our Democratic
friends will know there is nothing
mean about the Republicans.
Col. Douglas in his speech showed
that at some time in its history the
Republican party had been guilty of
passing an act legalizing contracts
with foreign labor, and of encourage
ing the introduction of foreign labor,
to compete with the labor of this
country. 1t was the strongest count

count of his disgust at Cleveland's
free trade ideas. After much per-
suasion Mr.. Whitney agreed to an.
nounce in public interview that he
would remain Secretary of the Navy
until the fourth of March. But he
qualified it by saying that it was
much against his inclinatious that he
remained.
The Canadian retaliation bill which
was railroaded through the House is
now in the hands of the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, and it
will not be at all surprising if it re-
mains there the rest Of the session.
There is growing feeling that it is.

Every one Of the readers of this
paper have no doubt seen the state
ment just lately in print of an i'm
mense shipment Of logs in raft from
Nova Scotia. The first attempt was
a complete failure, owing to the fact
that rafting longs along the coast had
never before been tried. But the last
attempt was complete success, and
the arrival of the immense raft in
East RIVER, New York, was herald
ed by booming of cannon and blow
ing of steam whistles, as the inaugu-
ration of a new era in the lumber
business. These logs, as raw material
came in duty free, and the prediction
has been made that this is only the
beginning of great industry. Give
us free trade and our people of West
ern MARYLAND will find another in
dustry will at once begin, and that
is the shipment of coal in barges.
There is IA great demand along the
whole Atlantic seaboard for free coal,
for manufactures. for gas, for coke and
innumerable uses. Remove the tariff
OF 70 cts. per ton and the cost of fuel
for these establishments would be
cheapened. Do not let any one inn
agine that the free traders will be
satisfied to let coal alone. That was
one of the first things aimed at by
the Mills bill, but mature considera-
ton counseled free coal must come
later. In fact coal was On the free
list of the Mills bill as originally
drafted. But the election was too
near, and in its present modified
form the Mills bill is simply an en-.
tering wedge for a wholesale applica-
ton of free trade ideas.

Lies out of the Whole Cloth.

| The statement was made very early
in the campaign, in fact most too
early, that this was to be campaign
of literature of education, and the
great moral campaign Of all. Being
caught in fagrd1lte deLjctO in the
Morery letter forgery, the assurance
was given out early that so far as the
Democratic party was concerned this
thing was to be stopped. Especially
was the mud-slinging to be stopped
when they came TO compare the
moral stamina and standing of the
rival candidates, But it seems all
this high talk was simply blind
after all. The liar branch of the Dem
Ocratic campaign has began to get in
its work, but in such an insiduous
way that the work would, it was
fondly hoped, not be noticed. Pick
up any number you please Of obscure
country Democratic papers and you
will see ear-marks OF the Liar Blu
reau." 1t is generally something that
Harrison said about the Irish people,
or something in favor Of the Chinese.
ForeWarned is forearmed. We eX-
pect 10 write to Chairman Quay at
once, and propose the organization of
a similar Bureau, and we Will then
offer to send for Lying Pete" well
known in Garrett county not many
years since, and then we will see
circus. Unfortunately Lying Pete.
we believe, was a Democrat. There
is an old saying, familiar to some of
us, which said flight the Devil with
fire." and the best way to neutralize
this lying business is to go into it
wholesale; and with Pete to act as
chairman such a grist could be
ground out that would amaze the
oldest fishermen. That Harrison ever
said that the Irish have no intelli-
gence and that all they are fit for is
to shovel dirt, and so on dd H?fHitltDa,
I'D 77duSeuDa, every man of intelii-
gence knows to be a lie out of the
whole cloth, outrageously, malicious
ly false, General Harrison is part
Irish himself by decent, and besides
he is a gentleman, a Christian and
has too much good sense and good
manners to make any such remarks
about any people. You insult the
intelligence Of sensible people by
asking them to believe such stuff.
