"The Cleveland bat is ready to
knock the Radical ball sky high and
old Grover will make home run,
sure. "-Frederick Citizen.
Harrison's in-shoots cannot be
touched BY the democratic free trade
lumber bat. The protective ball can
not be knocked out of the diamond.
Grover may succeed in making first
base, but Morton viii throw him out
at second every time. The protec-
tive field is in good trim, and play
ing trusted, honorable, home play
ers. The free-trade team has an I'M
ported battery, that is obnoxious to
home people and that cant win this
time. Jimmie Blaine is umpire and
the home team will get fair play.
Yes brother Citizen, Grover will run
home-but not to the White House
he amt built that way this time.
LOUIS RHINE, freight conductor on
the first division, was run over by
the caboose of his train on Monday,
prox., in Martinsburg yard, crushing
his left leg, and necessitating ampu-
tation. The operation was success
fully performed, and the patient, for
while, seemed to do we'll when
traumatic gangrene set in, and with
astounding rapidity, soon overspread
the entire limb. Every thing was
done by kind friends and the attend
ing physicians to arrest the onward
and rapidly fatal progress of the dis
ease, but to no avail, death occurring
just 70 hours after the accident
Conductor Rhine was an old and
faithful employee of the B. & O. r.
r. Co., in whose service he spent "a
years of his life. He resided in Bal
timore where he leaves kind family
and host of loving friends and as
sociates to mourn his sudden death.
Mr.. Rhine was 81 years OF age and
the oldest conductor on the first di-
vision. His wife was with him when
he expired.
LET us eat, wax strong and 60 forth
to conquer, and let every heart rejoice
| Statesman.
| Reminds us OF the parable OF the
foolish man in the Bible.
"This will do will pull down my
barns, and build greater; and there will
l bestow all my fruits and my goods.
"And I will say to my soul, Soul,
| thou hast much goods laid up for many
years take thine ease, eat, drink and
be merry.
"But God said unto him. Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be required OF
thee; then whose shall those things be,
which thou hast provided ?"
Wax, eat and rejoice are well
enough, but there's nothing attrac-
tive in these. Where do the drinks
come in? Democracy asks for infor-
ton.

"THE President entertained the
young gentlemen in chapel Monday
morning with some very appropriate
and well chosen remarks in reply to the
report that the cadet corps would turn
out en- masse to participate in Thurs
days thuse. He complimented the
young Republican gentlemen upon the
idea Of meeting Gen. Golf at the train
accompanied by as many of the Demo.
cratic boys as felt willing to participate
and escort him to the hotel. The sug-
gestion was unanimously regarded very
prudent as means of preventing any
unwise and unwholesome remarks re-
lating to the University as college. p

President Turner is no active pol
itician, but always willing to treat /
political difference of opinion with
fairness. No wonder the University
is SO steadily growing in usefulness
He won't permit politics to gain {
hold in its management.
