Mr.. "Somebody," of Grantsville,
in last weeks Democrat, seems to be
in trouble about Temperance Re-
publicans," and asks how "free whis-
key will 90 down with them." and

ing the racket for all that it is worth
ever since. Now if there is free
whiskey party in existence that is
the Simon pure Democratic party.
If we go back "befo' the wah" we
find whiskey free then. You could
buy whiskev for cents per pint and
you had to Day 10 cents per yard for
calico. Under Republican rule you
had to pay so cents per pint for whis-
key and bought your calico for five
cents. Your party bowls about the
"poor mans blankets" yet under
your pure unadulterated Democratic
government you paid cents per pint
for your whiskey while the poor

S1.9O in 1860 sold for $3.50. Other
grades of blankets in proportion. AS
temperance Republicans we cannot
take your advice. While we know

fully for the right. Who deserve
great honor and praise for the battle
they have fought, yet, after all. we
have to remember the fact that there
is not a Democratic state in the land
that has constitutional prohibition.
Every State that has declared by the
vote of its people in favor of prohi-
bition is a Republican State. and yet
you would have US vote against this
party in favor of the Democratic, free
trade and all. We cannot do it, and
more. let every voter read the Re-
publican and Prohibition platforms
and then read section 40 of the Mills
bill, endorsed by the Democratic
party, and then see what party is in
favor of free whiskey. Your party
has also placed every product of the
field, the forest and the mine upon
the free list, and the question is not
free whiskey, but free trade, and Mr..

you would like to have us, and there

don sud. recovering $4,000.
Gem1el & Sinclair, as stockholders

ed thathe award should go to that
corporsiOn. In dismissing the in
junctio, Judge Duffy decided in
favor the complainants. and that
the company is entitled to the award,
and moi Brydon individually. The
injunction was to restrain the collec-

night follows the day, the adoption
of this policy means lower wages.

this cheapening process may be

Referring to the surplus, he claim
ed the Democrats did not know what
to do with it, and, therefore, deposit
ted it in certain national banks. The
Government gets no interest on it.,
but it is loaned out to citizens at in
terest. One of the proper methods
for the use of this surplus would De
the purchase of bonds with it, which
would restore it to the channels of
trade.
Continuing, he said: at is not
whether we will purposeIy raise
money to buy our bonds at a pre-
mium-no one would advise that
but will we so use a surplus that we
have on hand and cannot lawfully
pay out any other way, Do our
Democratic friends propose to give
the banks the free use of it till our
bonds mature or do they propose to
reduce our annual income below our
annual expenditure by revision of
the tariff, until this surplus is used,
and then revise the tariff again to re-
store the equilibrium"

General HarrisOn's Wisdom.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 16.-General
Harrisons entire time to-day was
occupied by visiting delegations, the
presence of so many old soldiers in
the city holding their reunions dur
ing the continuance. of the State fair
adding TO his callers. To-day the
veterans of the Seventh Cavalry
called o. him, and to them he made
shortspeech. In the afternoon he
atsssisssed a delegation from Irequois
county, Illinois, and one from La
porte county, Indian, the two as
sembling together at the park. The
speech on this occasion was the most
important of the day. In the course
of his remarks the General said:
"You have not, l think, in this
campaign heard any Democratic
speaker admit that even a low pro-
tectlve tariff was desirable. Those
who, like Mr.. Randall, have in for
mer campaigns been used to allay the
apprehension of our working people
by talking protection, have been
silenced. On the other hand, the
Republican party declares by its plat
form. and by it's speakers that a pro-
tectlve tariff is wise and necessary.
There is the issue make your own
choice. If you approve by your
votes the doctrine that protective
tarld is public robbery, you Will eX-
pect your representatives to stop this
puDIlc robbery, and if they are faith
full they will do it-not per cent. OF
it, put 100 of it. Applause and cries

Emma II. McFerren VS.. Josiah witt, Sarah
Witt, Michael Witt, Martha L. Witt and
Catherine Witt.
No, 452 Equity. In the Circuit Court for Gar
Fett county.
The object of the bill of complaint In this
case is to procure decree for the sale of Ger.
tain lands therein described and make dis
tribution of the proceeds among the parties
to said cause.
The bill alleges that the complainant is
seized and possessed of a two-thirds interest
in tract of land known as Recourse" con-
tanning ll6 acres, situated in Garrett county
Maryland, which is valuable on account Of
its minerals and timber. That the other one~
third interest is owned or claimed by Sarah
Witt, wife Of Josiah Witt, and Martha f.
Witt, wife of Michael Witt, in seyeralty, all
of whom are non residents OF the State Of
MAJ yland. That said lands are incapable Of
advantageous partition among said owners
but that 1t would be TO their advantage to
have the same sold under q decree of this
Court, the proceeds of such sale divided
among the owners according to their respec-
i've interests. And that said Catherine Witt
also nonresident, at one time appears to
have owned One-half OF said third, and on the
first day ofJanuary, 1874 executed a mortgage
upon the same to said Martha +. Witt, for
S5O5.7l, which is recorded among the land rec
ords of Allegany county, Nd, and unreleas-
ed so far as the records show.
1t is thereupon this 2Ith day of September
eighteen hundred and lightweight, adjudged
and ordered by the Circuit Court for Garrett
county as Court of Equity, that the com.
gether with the object ana substance OF this
bill TO be inserted in some II ewspaper printed
in Oakland, Md, once q week for four success
sive weeks, before the 9th day OF Oct ober
next, giving Lotice to the defendants in said
bill, and warning them to appear in this
Court in person or by solicitor ON or before
the 9th day of January next, to show cause,
If any they have, why decree shall not pass

FOXTOWN, Md, Sept. 81, 1888.
Mr.. EDITOR My patience is
about gone. L have tried hard to
keep up my spirits with the hope oil
much good spirits for myself and the
boys hereafter. After writing you
the other time l invited in all the
boys, and amongst others good
many Republicans came to see me,
who got very friendly all at oEce.
There hasn't been a day for three
weeks that hav'nt had lot of COM
pany, and to tell the truth, my wife
IS getting tired of il, aud that is what
bOtherS methe most. 1t is bad enough
for the boys to come in, eat up my
bread and meat and spark the girls
the Republican boys | believe are the
worst after the girls-but worse than
all is the old woman gives me a reg
ular round about it every night, and
so between the boys, the girls, my
old woman and the hard times, I am
about lost to know what to do. From
the outlook around my home l be-
lieve everything is going Democratic
this fall, but my wife says she be-
lieves they are just fOoing me after
all, but the girls they are on my side
anyhow.
Well, last week, for a change, l
shOuldered up my gun and went
down to Georges Creek to spend a
few days with couple Of old friends,
and there everybody said McComas
was sure and Harrison was sure and
that they didn't believe Douglas
would spend cent more than he had
to, and that German hadn't much to
do with the campaign money, and
that | would better send them Re.
publicans ab"u their business. But
that is easier said than done. and so
you see | am in trouble. Even the
girls are now talking about protec-
ton to home industries, and the
Democrat boys are mad, and the
buck wheat got frosted and all around
it looks discOuraging. Well if it
wasn't for Chauncey [ would about
give it up. He says l must cheer up,
that we will get there all right, and
that everything is to be cheap if the
Democrats get in. and if the Repub-
licans get in tobacco and whiskey is
to be cheap, so l must keep up my
spirits and do all [ can 10 help the
party. But ! tell you it is pretty
hard to meet with so many discour-
agementS all at once. Chauncey says
| will get good Office some day if
| will only have patience. So the
girls say, but the way the victuals,
coal oil and hay disappears on Satur-
day nights fairly makes me groan,
Another thing that bothers me is the
offices are about all filled and I've
got a notion not to 60 to the election
at all. Now, Mr.. Editor, my address
is FoXtown. | may go to the election
and l may not. Baughman and Dick
came to me two years ago, and l can
tell you they are gentlemen. / won't
write any more. You see how it is
yourself. Goodbye for this time.
