Death OF Ex-Governor Hamilton.

In the death of Hon. VIM. T. Hamilton,
which occurred at his home in Hagerstowu,
on the Goth of October, the State of Maryland
has lost one of her best and most distinguish
ed citizens. He was born in 1920 and began
his public life in 1916, as a member of the
Legislature, elected by the Democrats. In
1S49 he was elected 10 Congress and served
three terms. In 1868 he was elected TO the
United States Senate and in 1879 he became
Governor of the State. He filled every pub
lie position with credit to himself and advan-
tage 10 the State and in the Legislature, in
Congress, in the Senate he was one of the
foremost and most distinguished members.
Governor Hamilton was a man of strong
convictions, fearless in expressing them, and
his plain speech and uncompromising nature
brought him, when Governor, in opposi,i ion
to other party leaders Gov. Hamilton was
man of ability, integrity and honesty. His
private life was plain and transformations and
he is said to have been alike transformations
and generous in kindness and charity to the
poor and unfortunate. He was deeply inter-
ested in everything pertaining to farming and
made several visits to Hartford in order to see
how the business was carried on here by our
most successful farmers
Men like Governor Hamilton are rare in
any State, and Maryland has therefore reason
to deplore his death. He was Gs years OF
age. His funeral took place on Sunday. He
leaves large fortune to be divided between
his widow, two sons and four daughters.

High License or Prohibition

Vote for Col. Stump.

The Republicans are keeping up show of
fighting for the Presidency, but every few
days prominent member Of the party gives
utterance to his opinion that Harrison can
not be elected. What they are really fight
ing for now is the control of the next Con-
gress. They want TO embarrass and hamper
President Cleveland if he is reelected, and
by preventing the administration from carry
ing out the reforms it has promised bring
odium upon the Democratic party and its
defeat in 1899. 1t is therefore of the highest
Importance that every Democratic candidate
for Congress should be elected. Let there be
no trading on the Congressional ticket, but
let every Democrat and every other voter
who earnestly desires stop put to the ex-
action of unnecessary taxes, vote not only
for Cleveland and Thurman, but also for Col
Herman Stump.

Every LabOring Man

Stump Republican orators and newspapers
are loud in their assertions that high tariff
produces high wages. Well, we have a high
tariff, amounting. on some things needed in
the daily life of every humble home, to over
GO per cent of their value. Are you getting
high wages under this high tariff? Look at
your pocket books at the end of the week and
answer the question yourselves. Day after
day the newspapers tell of strikes among
the laboring men, because of reduction of
wages below point sufficient to enable them
to provide food and shelter for their families.
When these workmen remain firm what do
their employers do? They telegraph across
the ocean and in two weeks vessel-load of
foreign workmer, who will work at the re-
duced rate, come over to take the place of the
strikers. And this is the name of"Protec-

False Prophets.

When Cleveland was inagurated, in 1885,
direful predictions were made by the Repub-
licans that the business of the country would
be destroyed. They were false prophets who
said this. Instead offinancinl disaster and
ruin the United States has never before been
so prosperous as it has under Clcvelands ad-
ministration. New manufacturing enter.
prscs have been started in every direction
and the accommodating surplus, notwilhstand-
ing the millions paid out for bounties and to
buy government bonds not yet due, shows
that our people have been able TO buy in
foreign markets the goods they needed for
their comfort and pleasure. The same scare
is attempted now, by the same false prophets.
With four years more of Cleveland s wise and
conservative policy, the United States will
make still greater strides in the pathway of
material prosperity.
