meetings in each district, at clock, p M,
ON Saturday, September It'll, 1889, except IN
Union Bridge district, where the hour OF

The Committee, at its meeting, passed the
following to which attention IS called
ReSOtreQ, mat Whlsb VIC iSSOStii-S -
right of every Democrat to aspire to ofhee,
we depreeate primary contests, for the reason
that they are often productive OF bitterness
and animosity, and inimical to party unity
and harmony, and we recommend that I'M
nled0ed delegates be chosen in every district,
and that they present to the county conven-
ton. for its consideration, the name OF every
person who may desire his name presented;
SO that the convention may not be embarrassed
by any pledges to individuals in selecting such
ticket as may, in the Judgment of the eonven-
ton, be most promotive Of the public welfare.
Personal interests and ambitions ought to be
subordinate to the ascendancy of Democratic
principles. - -
NJ. Z. WALSH, Secretary.

The Most Foolhardy Yet.

NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. Last Sunday
afternoon Carlisle d. Graham made a sue
cessful trip through the Whirlpool RAPIDS,
the Maelstrom and Fosters Flats, before an
assembled multitude of Is, 600 people. That
was preparatory to his effort today TO pass
over the falls, which was accomplished ia
safety The same barrel was used.
At o clock this morning IT was towed out
into the river by Andy Horne and Carrot
Stanley, and at As A. NJ. it was let go at a
point opposite Chippewa creek. Down the
current it swept, plugging over reefs, often
out of sight, till at 40 it approached the
brink and dropped 200 feet into the abyss
below. The barrel soon rose intact and was
deserted in an eddy. Elmer Jones swan
out from the Canadian shore, caught hold OF
a rope fastened to the barrel and towed it in
shore, where, just at rs A. N Graham
was lifted out by Jones and Mr.. Cahill.
Graham was quickly brought, more dead
than alive, to Horne's saloon, on this side.
Graham himself says The first | knew
was when some one struck the barrel and
said. Graham, are you alive f" He com
planned of terrible pains in the back and head
from the racking he had received, and could
talk but incoherently. About dozen people
verify the statement that Graham was IN the
barrel. and many more will say that they saw
the barrel go over. Graham was probably
led to his exploit by the appearance here OF
Steve Brodle with the ayowed intention OF
jumping the falls.
Graham has offered to repeat the feat II he
is paid $1,000.

Two Fruitful Themes.

Two subjects are fruitful themes for
Washington correspondents of the daily
press. One is an extra session of Congress
and the other the banding together Of the
Republican Congressman from the Southern
states for the purpose of demanding spoils
Whenever news is scarce, these two sub
iects are taken up and discussed and elab-
GRATED. There will not be an extra session
of Congress. 1t is doubtful if President
Harrison ever seriously considered calling
one. or was asked to do 50 by any inHuen-
tial Republicans. Nothing could be gained
by an extra session-no public good nur
party advantage. Tariff reduction and
revision is the only pressing necessity.
There is no prospect Of this relief by the
present Congress, and if there were,
month or two delay is a matter Of no con-
sequence. The only elamor for an extra
session is from the horde of ofhee-seekers.
Not only are there numerous places to be
given out by the Republican House and
Senate, but the place-hunters want their
Senators and Representatives at Washing
ton 50 they can press their claims for aP-
pointmenl in the Departments and other
places. In party sense, an extra session
in October would be suicidal. Not only
would the Senators and Representatives be
drawn from work in the campaign, but
thousands Of voters, seeking positions or TO
aid friends, would flock to Washington.
These would all be Withdrawn from cam
paign work. aud very many would not get
home in time to vote. DisapPointments
would be sure to result from selection Of
officers and appointments of subordinates,
and the disappointed-for the average
working Republican is moved most b. the
hope of ofice-will sulk aud become luke
warm or altogether Indifferent. The spoils
system was largely Instrumental in defeat
ing the Republican party 10 1884, aud the
leaders are not going to risk any detection
III the party BY holding an extra session
of Congress at the request Of ofice-seekers.
As to the Southern Republicans stand
ing together for spoiIs, all the talk to that
end is imaginative. There are about six
of them, and if they choose to put up one
of their plumber for Speaker and stand by
him, they could prevent an election and
hold the House in check Should they
do 20, they could either secure the choice
of their man, or extract large amoant Of
patronage in return for Withdrawing their
candidate for Speaker. We do not believe
the Southern Republicans viii take any
such stand, though not one Of them has
a principle, except the principle Of spoils.
They viii all be offered prizes for their
votes for Speaker, by the aspirants from
the North, and they viii be divided as
other Republicans are.

Primary Meetings.

Democratic primary meetings will be
held in the several districts of Carroll to-
day. In every district, save one, the sug-
gestions of the County Central Committee
will be needed. There will be no contests
for supremacy, and the delegates will pre-
sent to the County Convention on Monday
the names of aspirants in their districts, and
will be at liberty to present the names of
others also. In Westminster district there
are two candidates for sheriff, and con-
test for the delegation is to be made.
While almost every Democrat in the dis
trict is in favor of one or the other, there
are also enough in favor of an unpledged
delegation to elect unpledged delegates.
1t is probably not the fault of the principals
that the contest has arisen. 1t was most
likely forced by enthusiastic and injudicious
supporters of each, and the matter has
been so much agitated that by common
consent the contest has been allowed to 60
on-or rather those in favor of unpledged
delegates have not taken any action toward
selecting independent representatives.

Democratic Success in Louisiana.


A special election was held for Repre-
sentative in the Third congressional district
of Louisiana on Tuesday, to fill the place
made vacant BY the death of Congressman
Gay. Owing to the slender majority they
will have in the next House, the RepubG-
cans made special efforts. Mat. Quay took
command of the Republican campaign, and
sent Northern Congressman there to stump
the district and witness the count The
result was Democratic majority of about
5000. A negro supervisor, whose back
bore the marks of severe hogging, was
exhibited to some of the visiting statesmen
as evidence of Democratic bulldozing, but
the effect was spoiled later, when it was
shown that the martyr supervisor had
stolen church funds aud his own race had
flogged him for that offense. Congressman
Peters, Republican, Of Kansas, who watched
the election in Lafourche, says it was as
fair and as free an election as he ever saw,
the negroes voting there in large numbers
without let or hindranee.

The Republican party has always prided
itself upon being party Of "high moral
ideas, and the last national platform con
tanned a plank leaning toward prohibition.
BUTT has many ways to catch many people.
1t is for or against prohibition, according
as votes may be obtained. As @high
Iicense" sentiment is strong in Maryland,
the state Republican organ, the Baltimore
american, regulates the national Platform
and remarks sThe Republican party is
not a prohibition party, and never has had
the slightest leaning that way"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1889-09-07

Because Pennsylvania gives large ma
iority for Protection, the Baltimore Amer
lean regards it ridiculous for the Demo
cratic State Convention to declare for tariff
reform, when such declaration means
certain defeat. Republicans attach no i'm
portance 20 principle. Success, with spoils,
is their object, and they would make a
platform in accord with the general senti-
ment in order to obtain success. Not SO
with the Democratic party. 1t is founded
upon well defined principles, and it is prin-
ciple fer which they contend. OF course
the AmeTiealt cannot appreciate any such
a position.

Once an Honor---Now a Disgrace.
From the Hnrre de Grace Republican.

From the Havre de Grace Republican.
There was a time when a pension carried
with it honor-when it was the insignia of
bravery and patriotism-when the true soldier
felt proud that his name was borne on the
pension rolls; but that was before the days of
Tannerism. Now several old veterans of the
last war have told the writer that their month
" stipend they once regarded as a sign of
honor, but now Of disgrace: since under a
recent ruling of the Interior Department dis
houorably discharged soldiers may secure
pensions without regard to the cause of their
expulsion from the service, and now thieves,
bounty jumpers, towards and utthroats,
skulkers, camp. followers, cravens and bum
mers, who were found unworthy to wear
Uncle Sans livery in time of national peril,
can pass up their buckets to be filled while
Corporal Tanner is still at the faucet. One
of these days there is going to be a revolution
in the Pension Bureau, and the dishonorably
discharged warriors who disgraced their uni
forms had better hurry up. Tanner may not
long be to the fore, and the golden stream
from the Treasury may cease to flow any day
when Congress shall be in session.
More unwarranted and unjust rulings, brazen
frauds and reckless villainy were never prae-
ticed under the guise of law upon the gener-
Gus people and government, than has been
lately practised in the Pension Bureau.

From the Greeusburg Pa Democrat.
One year ago You could buy eighteen pounds
Democratic administration. Now you can
buy from nine to ten pounds of sugar for one
dollar. under 4 Republican administration.
At the same time last year you could get a
dollar for a bushel of wheat and now you can
get seyeuty-fiye cents. Then a bushel Of
wheat would have secured eighteen pounds of
sugar. As You see, the farmer loses al both
ends Of the transaction, but many of them
voted for such condition OF affairs. they must
naturally feel happy that they have been sue
cesstul in bringing it about. Unfortunately,
however. their neighbors, who used their
common sense when they voted, suffer hy the
acts Of the less intelligent voters.
