Democratic Club Meeting.


The Democratic Club of Westminster held
its first public meeting in Odd Fellows Hall,
on Friday evening, the 9Th instant. The
Westminster Band was present and enlivened
the occasion with its spiritstirring airs.
VIM. H. Thomas, Esq. of the Westminster
bar, President of the Club, made neat pre-
liminary address, closing by Introducing to
the audience Gen. Chas. Z. Hooker, member
of Congress from Mississippi. Gen. Hooker
is an orator of rare power and ability and
tive speeches which has been listened to in
Westminster for long time. 1t was instruc-
tive and convincing, interspersed with pas
sages thrillingly eloquent, chaste and schol-
arly. His auditors hung upon his words
with rapt attention, and evinced their appre-
citation by rapturous applause from exordium
to peroration. We have not the space to
present even an outline of this able speech.
He discussed the issues ofthe persent canvass,
the oppressive character and the inequalities
of the present tariff, the corrupting and dan
gerous tendencies of an overfowing treasury,
and the urgent necessity of revenue reform,
and showed that protective tariff was q
misnomer, and onerous tax upon the poor,
and protection only to the rich, and to the
capitalists and monopolists who need no
protection; that the idea that the wages ofthe
laboring man were increased by an oppressive
tax, was delusion and a snare that could no
longer mislead the laborers the land. Gen.
Hooker spoke about an hour and half.
The next speaker was our own fellow-towns
man, Hon. Frank t. Shaw, who always COM
mands the attention of Carroll audience.
His presence on the platform was greeted with
hearty cheers, and lie spoke about thirty
minutes in his usual impassioned and earnest
manner, addressing himself to the sober rea-
son of his auditors.
The Club had abundant reason to be proud
of its first public demonstration. 1t was at
tended with the evidence of good and effective
work.

An Expensive stump Speaker.

Chairman Quay, of the National Republi-
can Committee, is finding out that female
stump speaker is as hard to manage as a pri-
ma donna. Anna Dickinson is the means of
his enlightenment on that point. She was
engaged for six weeks at $500 week and ex
penees There was some dickering over the
price, for she wanted $500 week and Quay
was inclined to 500 as sufficient
There has been no end of bother about her
route, her travelling accommodations and
other things that are commonly provocative
of ofirritation to managers of great actresses and
singers. Anna telegraphed before she had
been on the road week to know whether
there was going to be any objection to paying
the travelling expenses of two lady compan-
IONS A little later she demanded extra rooms
in hotels and additional luxuries in parlor and
sleeping cars.
These points were conceded to her, al
though they made of her far more costly
campaigner than any other in the field. But
Quay is now dumbfounded by the reception of
dressmaking and millinery bills to the extent
of nearly $500. They represent the wardrobe
which Miss Dickinson deemed necessary for
her tour and which, according to her idea, is
a legitimate part of her electioneering outfit.
These bills have not been audited by the Re-
publican committee, and the indications are
that they will not be, but nobody who knows
Annals decision of character will be surprised
II, when she learns of the refusal, she gets
real mad and goes straight home.

Civil Service.
work.

Senator Hales report on the Civil Service
was presented to the Senate on Wednesday,
but the Chairman neglected to state that a
part of the testimony upon which it is based
was taken without the knowledge of the com
mittee, except one other member than him
self, and was done in secret. The report is a
labored effort to show violations of the civil
service law under Mr.. Cleveland's Admins
tration, but we don't believe it will have the
importance in the campaign which it is intend
ed. The investigation was made purely as a
campaign measure, land after the election it will
be heard of no more forever.
In reference to Civil Service in Maryland,
the report complains that out of $50 persons
in the Baltimore postofiice and Custom House
on the first day of June, 1885, but 81 remain
ed in June, 1885, No fault will be found by
Democrats with this result, except that the
other 81 have not been removed, and few if
any Republicans of Maryland will censure the
Postmaster and Collector for the removals.
These gentlemen are responsible for the con-
duct of these important positions, and they
should be allowed to select their own agents
and assistants

Novel Campaign Trip.

BUFFALO, N. Y, Oct. 8.-The canal boat
Thomas Jefferson began its political cruise
at 10 tonight with bands playing and big
display of fireworks. Buffalo Democrats
were on hand to start the canal missionary.
The Cleveland Democracy, the Buffalo Dem
ocratic Club, the Second Assembly District
Cleveland Club, and other organizations
turned out in goodly numbers. Before the
departure United States District Attorney
Daniel n. Lockwood made send off speech,
in which he said that the Democrats were
sure of victory, and really did not need this
novel method of disseminating Democratic
doctrines, but that it was just as well to make
the victory as big one as possible. Hon:
John Boyd Thatcher, of Albany, replied
briefly, and Congressman Breckinridge, Of
Arkansas, made short speech. Then the
tug David B. Hill started. The crowds on
the bank cheered, the bands played, sky
rockets were shot off in profusion, and the
Thomas Jefferson started on its trip.
The boat has been entirely remodeled,
cabins have been built, and it is quite com
Portable. The first stop will be made to-
morrow at Tonawanda, where Lumberman
Fassett will preside at the meeting. 1t is
expected that the boat will reach Lockport
on Wednesday evening, and that Gov. Hill,
who is to speak in Batavia that afternoon,
will Join it there. Stops will be made at all
the principal canal ports. Syracuse will be
reached October Is.
Ex-Mayor Thatcher, Of Albany, said to-
night that he was sure this novel campaign
scheme would make many votes for the Dem
ocrats s'This is lield,m said he, '.that has
been comparatively neglected heretofore, and

One of the features of the trip is the chal-
leuge to debate the tariff question, on four
hours notice, with Republicans anywhere on
the route, the Republicans to organize the
meetings and have the choice of beginning or
closing the debate.

Grand Democratic Mass Meeting.

The outpouring of the Democracy of Car
roll, Howard, Montgomery, Baltimore and
Frederick counties, at Sykesville, on Tuesday
last, was an event long 10 be remembered.
The number present was yariously estimated
at from three to five thousand -Four bands
of music eniVened the occa sion, With their
spirit-stirring strains, and many of the fair
daughters of Carroll aud Howard graced it by
their presence. Indeed, the beauty of the
ladies was the subject of very general remark.
The arrangements, which were very elab'
crate, were perfect in all their details
These were under the skilfui and thoughtful
management of Hon. Frank Brown, assisted
by the gentlemen Of the Cleveland, Thurman
and Stump Club of Freedom. A prominent
Democrat of the district remarked-"Frank
Brown never does any thing by halves" and
indeed there were no halfway measures OBJ
servable by the most critical eye,
The waving banners, the decorated wagons,
the speaking, the songs, the music, and the
enthusiasm Of the vast assemblage, all were
soul-inspiring and contributed to render the
occasion one Of far more than ordinary inter
est; one that will be referred to in after years
with pieasurable memories.
The marked attention which was paid TO
the several speakers, and the rapturous ap-
planse with which the people responded to the
sentiments enunciated from their lips, evinced
the fact that the meeting was effective in
promoting the cause of revenue reduction and
tariff adjustment, in eementing together still
more closely the great brotherhood of De-
moeracy, and giving fresh ippetus to the
cause of Cleveland, Thurman, Stamp and
Victory.
The details Of the meeting are given more
at large in their appropriate place, to which
our readers are referred.

Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures,
are our great leading interests, and all Of
them should be fostered as far as possible by
our laws. But Agriculture languishes, and
Commerce is almost destroyed by our high
protective tariff in aid of Manufactures. This
is all wrong. Our laws are not equal-that
is, they do not operate equally upon all oul
citizens. They enrich some and impoverish
others. Witness the Steel Works at Pitts
burg, from the earnings of which Mr.. Carne-
gle drew in one year, according to his own
statement, 81, 100000, through the operation
of our tariff laws. Is this ''equal laws and
equal rights" when the toiling farmer, laborer
and mechanic, can scarcely make "both end;
meet" Isn't something wrong? Undoubt-
edly. What is it? Mr.. Cleveland says it is
our iniquitous and unequal tariff. And so
say we all.

Judge Thurman enjoys the respect of the
workingmen in Ohio in an eminent degree.
In 1886 he acted as arbitrator between the
coal operators and the miners in the Hooking
Valley and Ohio Central districts, who we're
on strike for 60 cents per ton. He devoted
ten days of unremitting toll to the investiga-
ton of the case, without compensation, and
decided in favor of the men. Immediately
after Judge Thurman's adjudication compli-
mentary and congratulatsry resolutions were
adopted by the Ohio State Trades and Labor
Assembly, and conveyed to Allen G. Thur
man, that ''sterling man of the people" The
laboring people greatly appreciate this act OF
Justice towards them.

Deception in Regard to Indiana.

The New York Sun, WHICH will not be ac-
cused of unfriendlness to the Republican
cause, prints letter from Indiana which
says: FIN one respect the people of the
whole country are deceived as to Indiana.
The pilgrimages to Gen, Harrison's home are
not what they are represented to be. The
railroads are working up these excursions at
low rates, and are daily bringing crowds de-
sirous Of seeing Indiana's big city and the
State fair nov in progress here. The pilgrims
are not wholly Republicans either in fact or
by avowal. They are mainly sight seers,

band that came while the Sun reporter has
been here was published as numbering 400
souls. As a matter of fact the railroad sold
1856 tickets The alleged 400 were called Re-
publicans and reported to have called on
Gen. Harrison. As . matter of fact few of
them did SO, and there was no proof that all
of these few were Republicans

Two weeks ago we stated that the lists Of
alleged changes published in the Republican
papers were very unreliable. Week before
last we published the denials of Gen. James
C. Clarke, Potter Palmer and Marshall Field,
of Illinois We now add that of Hon. Geo.
J.. Converse, of Columbus, Ohio. Mr.. Con
verse was published conspicuously in the
Sentiners list two weeks ago. This change
has been emphatically denied, as a large
number of others were earlier in the campaign.

Dollar Wheat comes too late in the season
to benefit the large majority of producers, fol
the most of our farmers have sold their crop.
1t is welcome news, however, for it has been
several years since wheat brought that price,
and it may be an indication, that, this great
staple of our country, having touched bottom
prices, is now on the rise, and promises to
pay the farmers more remuReratige prices.
We sincerely hope this may be SO, for when
agriculture hourishes all other branches OF
trade feel the benefit, for it is at the bottom
of the prosperity of all other interests.

Needless Taxes.

From the Hebreto Standard.
Two-thirds ofthe war debt is liquidated, but
the machinery for employing the taxgather is
still in operation. The carpetbagger had to
relinquish his occupation, but the monopolist
is as busy as ever to gather in the shekles
which the war tariff, now called protection
tariff, and dwelled upon as a blessing--of
course, in thin disguise-affords them. But
an honest, courageous President shows the
iniquity of collecting taxes which are no long
er needed.
