legality now. But the fact remains
unanswered and incontrovertible
that the Democracy Of Garrett coun-
ty determined to capture the office
and have It all their own.
They knew that Il was an en-
croachment on popular rights, and
on the established usages Of the State
and county; they knew also that II
was violation Of faith, and a gross
breach Of trust, but regardless Of con-
sequences they determined while a
favorable opportunity existed, to get
possession of the Office right or wrong.
The method Of collecting the taxes
by q treasurer Is no new invention.
II had been adopted by a number Of
the other counties before, and so FIR
as that was concerned was no new
experiment but IN each and every
instance the county commissioners
retained the appointing power.
The question now Is. not whether
an Improvement has been incident.
ally made on the old system. but
whether the party adopting such
methods TO compass Its nefarious
purposes can be or ought to be trus-
ted by the people. The people have
some rights 10 the premises and the
party that wantonly tramples on
those rights forfeits Its claim to their
confidence In the future.
The people have right under the
laws. to elect board OF County Com.
missioners. to represent them In the
transaction of county business, and
that Board has right TO select their
own cashier. treasurer or collector.
and not to have one thrust upon them
by the Governor, or virtually by the
local politicians of the opposite polit-
ical party. Now the pith and the
essence of the whole matter Is this:
The Democrat party of Garrett cnun-
ty through their representatives in
the legislature, attempted to deprive
the people of this long established
right. You may paint an inch thick
but 1t comes to this complexion after
all. You have violated your pledge,
you have betrayed your trust. you
have trampled on the peoples pre-
rogative, and 1t is not likely that
they will be foolish enough to give
you an opportunity to repeat the ex-
pertinent. The Republican party
believes in and maintains a govern
ment of the people. by the people,
and for the people, while the Democ.
raey are struggling for a government
of, by and for the bosses.

The Grand Army at Milwaukee.

The Grand Army at Milwaukee.
In referring to the recent Grand
Army encampment, held at Milwau-
kee, the New York Tribune. edito-
rally, says:
The late encampment was perhaps
disappointment. to both the friends
and enemies of the Union veterans.
In numbers, as well as in character,
the attendance, official and volun-
tary, went far beyond the hopes that
had been entertained since the unfor.
tunate disagreement between certain
department commanders and the
railways. The delegates were never
more numerous, better chosen, or
more In earnest in their work. The
almost numberless reunions of the.
survivors of the historic regiments
brigades and divisions that are ac-
customed to gather under the lee. as
1t were, of the grand encampment,
never drew so many of the comrades
together, save perhaps at Columbus
and st. Louis. The proceedings of
the National Encampmenti itself were
never more business.like. or marked
by better humor or greater good
sense. 1t follows that those who
never liked the old soldiers when
they were young, and who have been
earnestly hoping they might commit
some glaring indiscretion now that
they have grown old, are disappoin-
ted.
To this class it is natural grief to
find the Grand Army as far as ever
from turning itself into a political
machine" and If possible farther
than ever from doing anything to
deserve the epithet of "beggars." in.
vented for them by the discontinued
and the Democratic press the latter
strangely forgetting. or yet more
strangely, not caring that every Sec
ond or third stone thus thrown in
spite hurts one of their own party.
1t is not the first time in history that
this term "beggars" has been reck-
lessIy applied to proud and patri-
otto body of citizens. Never was it
less deserved. Men who demand
their just and lawful rights do not
beg, even when they ask that ''apoth-
ecaries' scales" and powerful magni-
flying glasses be not brought to the
measurement. The Nation has been
generous with its purse and 80 were
these men with their lives and their
life's blood. But it cannot be said
that the Nation has fully kept its
contract so long as the sole hope in
clearing the crowded docket of the
Pension Bureau rests on the death of
the unfortunate claimants.
OF the 800. 900 veterans who proba-
bly, survive to-day, 410.6S6 are en-.
rolled in the Grand Army. Of these
1872, 59S are in good standing, that is,
have paid their dues. the source from
which nearly a quarter of million
of dollars is disbursed annually for
the relief of the more needy. Per-
haps 10000 were present at Milwau.
kee. Boston next year will hardly
bring together 80 many. Indeed. it
Is doubtful If any of these figures
will ever be exceeded. The G rand
Army has grown steadily since 1876.
but henceforth. in the nature of
things, the deaths must exceed the
accessions. and the increasing weight
of years. so strongly and so power
fully evident at Milwaukee, will
have its effect, too, every year more
and more upon the endurance and
attendance of the old veterans. But
the love and reverence of the Ameri-
can people will never diminish or
grow old.
