FOR PRECEDENT:
GEN. BENJAMIN HARRISON,
Of Indiana.
Opening of the Camp ign.

The Republican campaign in
this congressional district opened
at Laurel, in Prince Georges coun-
ty, on Saturday last, the 22d in
slant A grand mass meeting at the
home of Mr. Compton, was opened
by the Hon Sidney Il Nludl. and ad-
dresses were delivered by ;hc Hon
Benz Butterworth and Hon VIM Nc
Kinley members Of Congress from Ohio
and Hon. S. b. Scull, Representative
from Pennsylvania. The great orator.
cal ability and the national reputation
Of the gentlemen who volunteered
10 assist Mr. Mudd in his canvass
b. ought large audience, and doubtless
many Of those who long have been al
most persuaded, " threw of forever
their allegiance to the democracy, and
joined the ranks Of the Republican party
"hlOh udo OCCu oNAl lVltHlOSI ~ progress
and true reform From every portion
Of the district we have glowing reports
Of the rapid growth Of sentiment in favor
of Mr. Mudd, and each day as the can
vass progresses his prospects will grow
brighter, and If continued and earnest
effort be made his triumphant election in
November next will be assured. 1t is
well known, although an unsuccessful
attempt has been made to disguise the
fact, that there is great dissatisfaction
in THIS district against the longer con
tnuancc in Office Of Mr.. Compton, and
many who were never known to vote
any other than the Democratic ticket
will, for this time at least, vote against
him. In view Of this state of affairs it
becomes the Imperative duty of all who
believe in the principles embodied i'll the
Republican platform adopted at the Ma
sional Convention, to labor collectively
and individually for the election of Ilar-
ri,on, Morton, and MnId. The vote Of
this county is vast deal more import
ant in the coming election than is gen
orally supposed, for beyond doubt there
Hre many changes taking place through
out the district, and should our county
give, as it ought to do, good Republi-
can majority, we believe that Mr.. Mudd
will occupy at the next session Of Con-
gress the seat now Glled by Mr. Comp
ton We therefore urge upon our party
friends to Immediately take eff their
coats and go to work, and not cease their
exerions until the polls are closed on
the night of the election Should this
he done we can then rejoice in no half
hearted manner, for when the news
comes, as it certainly Will, of the cleo
ton Of Harrison, we will have the knowl-
edge that our Representative will be in
accord with his political views, and will
work for the advancement of American
rather than British interests

At New Haven an the evening of he
LIST instant, Mr. Mills, the putative au-
thor OF the great Bin, addressed the poo
pie. Among other things he expatiated
upon the blessings our manufacturers
would derive from free raw materials -
With them, he said, they could COM
pete with foreign manufacturers, and
grow rich by selling their goods in "the
markets of the world" 4 gentleman in
the audience politely called the attention
of the speaker to the fact that our suppl,
of raw cotton is absolutely free, aud
asked why then our cotton goods did not
control the worlds markets. This was
a simple and pertinent query. Mr. .
Mills saw that it completely disposed Of
what he had been saying. He therefore
answered the too successful interlocutor
with materials from entirely outside the
field of economies. One account says he
told him to go home and soak you;
bead, - another that it was to go home
sud take a cold bath" Either form
sufficiently illustrates the straits in which
lhe Texas gentleman found himself -
The reply, it will be said, was rude; but

Mr.. Mills and Free Whiskey

From the course Of speech last week
before a great audience assembled in
Boston. MIR. Mills, in defense Of his tar
if bill, repeatedly declared that the OPP
ponents of his measure propose to give
the country free whisky, while he pro-
poses free clothing, free food, etc. lie
reiterated and reintroduccd this STATE
ment, clothed in various parapbrases, It
frequent intervals throughout his Dis
course, holding up the so-called free
whiskey propositions for special condem-
nation. 1t was simply the old dodge Of
crying "stop thief
Now the feet is that the bill passed BY
the House of Representatives, and
known to the country As the Mills bill.
absolutely, although in an undcrhand
way, provides free whisky. Mr.. Mills
free whisky provision is not simply a
declaration or statement in party plat
form, or the resolution of mass meeting
which may never take effect. 1t is a
distinct provision in the tex of bill of
which the gentleman from Texas is there
puted father, and which has actnlly
passed one branch Of the United States
Congress. Little Eon0er Mr.. Mills
IN his speeches makes no allusiol to
this part of his bill. which coming IN at
the tail-eni of his g. page measure af-
ter three months debate, was rushed
through with but very little discussion
1t hal been prepared by gentlemen who
met in secret and knew what they Ecre
about, but was not better understood BIZ
the mass of the House than if it bad
been written in Cboctaw.
/ It's alleged that in tie copies G the
bill distributed to the public for bun
paign purposes these sections, nan ply,
80 to 40. are left out, aud that the Sher
sections are SO REMEMBERED as to conl zeal

The Times in reply to our position in
reference to the last levy Of the old
board of commissioners says: The
money levied in June is not in the main
available for any purpose until the fol-
lowing January, aud is rarely ever fully
collected and appropriated within the
fiscal year next succeeding That
statement applies equally as well to the
counties of Prince Georges and St
Mays. And We cannot see why our
commissioners should presume that tue
amounts due by the counties named,
would be paid Immediately and the
amounts be credited, when it is a VOL
known fact that monies levied by the
above named counties have frequently
not been paid for twelve months after
the levy.
