DIR VICTORY


OUR VICTORY
We congratulate the Democracy of this
bounty upon its good work on last Tuesday
'in nobly battling for the victory it gained
putting itself in accord with the Democracy
If Maryland, Virginia, New York, New
jersey, and the two heretofore strong Re
publican States of Ohio and Iowa Poor
itepublicanism has been left nothing but
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
Our congratulations are more profound
because you have conquered negro domi-
nation, probably forever, and made the |
white man supreme and white schools ex
clusively for white children.
Because you have defeated slanderous
carpet bag element and hurled back into
their teeth their dirty charges against repu-
table citizens and public servants of the
county as infamous lies.
Your opponents were organized thorough
ly; for instance, in Rockville district 1876
negroes were registered and 1856 voted on
the day of election. Their entire vote
throughout the county was only few
short of their Presidential vote
Though the Democracy has handsome
victory fer sn OF year, the majority is not
50 large as We wished to see it. Not by
four hundred did apr registered vote turn
out, which is the cause OF the decrease in
our usual majority But our opponents
have not made any inroads upon us, and
we stand ready TO master them for ali time
TO come.
High taxes and Republcanism are wan
ing.
We have elected our full ticket and it is
cause for rejoicing. Let us rejoice.
Mr.. Nahum j. Bachelor, having been
appointed by the last Legislature ol New
Hampshire To devise ways and means of re-
nabilitating the deserted farms of that State,
sent out letters of inquiry to the selectmen
Of various sections in order to learn the real
state of affairs before going to work to
remedy it. The letters he has received thus
far, says the Boston Globe, "may well startle
the New England farmer, to say nothing OF
those Republicans who are trying to show
the farmer how greatly he is benefited by
protection" and certainly the Information
that is published Is a striking commentary
on the familiar text OF "W hat the Tariff Has
Done for New England" Despite the fact
that many OF the selectmen are Republicans
and skim over the feai truth with mental
reservation" it is reported that in the town
ship Of jackson, for instance over thirty
farms have been deserted, while in Bath the
ACREAGE, Of deserted fields is $4,000 The
same story is told in substance of fifteen
townships, from one to thirty deserted farms
being reported in each case In addition to
these townships fourteen Others report over
$1,000 acres Of farms upon which "al the
buildings have rotted away" and this, It is
said, lis only the beginning Of the list,
which promises, ON the basis OF what has
already come in, to be Il revelation" What
Is thus related of the conditions in New
Hampshire, says the Globe, is known TO be
true OF the other Northern New England
States The decline of agriculture in that
region Is "most lamentable," and certain
lines Of manufacture, which were sources of
great profit under low tariff, are declining
with it. "rhe foundries and other estab.
lishments for metal working are rotting
down along with the barns and dwellings,
we are told; SO that the New Euglanders
have not even the small comfort Of know
ing that they are gaining in one field the
ground they have lost in another

Ex. Representative Norwood, oi Georgia,
speaking of the defeat of Foraker in Ohio,
says: II feel like the darkey in the old
Methodist hymn ieel jus as happy as l
well can feel. Oh, Lord, send salvation
down The Lord has sent salvation down.
rejoice especially ut the defeat OF Foraker.
| rejoice more at his defeat than at the sue.
cess OF our party in the State. Foraker is
disorganizer. His capital is bitterness and
prejudice. His defeat is u rebuke to sec.
tionalism. Every man who tries to get per.
sonal advantage by provoking sectivnalism
il criminal. do not care what side he is
on; any man who tries To provoke bitter
ness between sections ON either side is a
criminal and deserves the most severe treat.

be to make the administration adopt con
sentative policy. think there will be no
attempt to pass federal election law Ii
they do attempt that it will be in despera
ton and will be their dying struggle
There Is an association OF men who ex,
liibit the products OF hundred and twenty
one manufactures of agricultural imple-
ments. This association has decided to ex-
hibit in the future al, the Hagerstown Fair
instead of Williams Grove, and further, to
discontinue exhibitions OF their machinery
al all other fairs in this part Of the country
This will bring An enormous exhibit here,
which Will be all the more important be-
Cause there will be nothing like il nearer
thao Pittsburg. The machinery men find
that the expense OF SO many exhibitions is
too great, and so they have selected few
places in different parts Of the country
