The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1890-10-24

The Mountain Democrat, in its
issue of last week filled II considerable
amount of its space with an article in
which it endeavored to convince its
readers that the Democratic party is
in favor of liberal pensions to the old
soldiers and that the Scared veterans
are under obligations to that party
for the pensions which they now re-
ceive from the Government.
The Uem0crdt has undertaken a
Herculean task. 1t had just as well
undertake to make the colored peO-
pie believe that they are indebted to
the Democratic party for their free
dom. If the Democrat would under.
take to make the people of Garrett
County believe that the Confederate
army saved the Union in the late
war, its task would be no more hope
less than the one it has undertaken
in endeavCring to make the people
believe that the Democratic party is
in favor of dealing fairly with the old
soldiers. The soldiers who risked
their lives for their country know
very we'll what party has given them
relief. and no amount of sophistry
interviewer with fragments of the
record can deceive them. They know
that the only Democratic President
who has occupied the White House
since the war spent great part of
his official life in vetoing pension
bills which a Republican Congress
had passed for the relief of Union
soldiers. They know that whilst
President Cleveland was yetoing
pension bills the Democratic party,
backed by such papers as the Noun
tain Democrat, was encouraging him
and that as a matter of fact he was
only obeying the behests of his party.
They know. too. that the Democrat
is supporting candidate on the
Democratic ticket for Congress who
"takes no stock in PENSIONS"
In word, so far as the present
campaign is concerned, the old SOL
dier knows that Mr.. Incomes and
his party represent the interest of the
soldier and the liberality of the gov
eminent towards him, and that the
Democratic party, represented by
Mr.. McKaig, always has been. is
now, and as long as it lasts. will be,
the unalterable enemy of the Union
soldier and of all that he holds dear.

UNBOUNDED ENTHUSIASM,
A Great and Glorious Meeting al
Oakland.

a TREAT anu OIOTIOuS Me6IlnR at
Oakland.
One of the largest Republican meet
ings eyer held in Oakland was that
on Tuesday evening. Long before
the meeting was called to order Of
futt's Hall was almost filled. The
meeting was called to order by Chair.
man E. E. Sollars, and the following
officers were selected : President, A.
G.. Sturgiss vice-presidents, Ed.
ward Hoye, S. B. White. G. F. Glot-
feIty, A. F. George and H. G. San
ders Secretaries F. G. Hyde and
w. G. Jones. la
After the above named officers had
taken seats on the stage, which was
handsomely and tastefully decorated
with flags. bunting and flowers, the
president introduced Mr.. McComas,
our able Representative. His refer
ence to what he had done in Con-
gress during his four years met with
prolonged applause. Mr.. McComas
dWelied for some time explaining
the filibustering tactics of the Demo.
crate in the House of Represents
tives. He drew vivid picture ,ol
the assassination of Mr.. Clayton, who
was elected over Breckenridge, oil
Arkansas, but who was counted out
by the Democrats, .s 4
His remarks were listened to with
the closest attention, at times relaxed
by uproariOus demonstrations of ap.
probation, and evidently made deep
impressions upon all who heard
them. At the close of his speech
beautiful bouquets of flowers We're
showered about him by the ladies
who were in attendance.
The Oakland Independent Band

selections.

Chairman Sollars and E. H. Sincell

Ex-SoldierS Compare the Records.
The Hagerstown Herald and Torch
Light has the following to say in
reference to MIR. Mr.. McComas' work
for the Union Soldiers and their
widows and orphans:
The disability pension bill passed
by the last Congress will give relief
to 100000 INDECENT ex.soIdiers and
widows and orphans of ex.soIdiers of
the Union and remove 10000 from
the almshouses of the country. Since
Mr.. Harrison has been President there
are 60 per cent. more Union veterans
in Office than during Mr.. CleYeland's
administration. In thirty-one con.
tests for postmasterships between
veterans and applicants who never
served in the Federal army, the vet.
Grams were appointed in twenty-six
instances. The number of pension
claims passed by the last Congress
and approved by President Harrison
is in striking contrast with the num-
Der passed by the last Democratic
Congress while Cleyeland's vetoes
of these bills earned him the unen-
viable title of the "veto President"
Mr.. McComas showed his sym
patty with the ex-seldiers by his
vote and speeches in their interest in
both Congress. He has the great dis
tinction of having been influential
enough to haye the Only pension bill
passed. in Democratic Congress,
oyer Cleveland's yeto-Joseph Rom
User of Cumberland. Mr.. ROmiser
has since had one of his eyes removed.
and Mr.. McComas has secured him
an increased pension.
Mr.. McKaig also has record on
the pension question. 1t is brief but
pointed, and interesting to every
veteran in the Sixth Congressional
District.
This is his record.
l. Among his first acts after being
elected mayor of Cumberland was
the discharge of an x-Uuion soldier
from municipal employment.
2. In an argument before the Or
phans Court of Allegany County he
declared II take no stock in pen.
sions."
This completes his record. There
is no uncertainty about it. There
is not veteran in this Congressional
district who cannot comprehend at
a glance. There is not a veteran in
the district who will not know how
much sympathy or encouragement to
expect from Mr.. McKaig. should he
be elected to Congress. And there
are very few x-Union soldiers in the
Sixth Congressional district who will
not regret having voted for him. if
they do 80, should he be elected.
But with a full knowledge of Mr..
McKaig's record. and with a full
knowledge of his attitude and SYM
pathies in the dark period of 1876.
we don't believe many ex-Union SOL
diers will cast a vote for Mr.. McKaig
for Congress.

Starved in the Midst of Plenty.

1t seems strange that in this city a
man should die of starvation, but such
is the fact in reference to Professor San
born, the elo%cutionist, who died at St.
Stephens hospital. Professor Sanborn
came to this city some eighteen months
ago and began teaching elocution. He
was of a quiet turn of mind and his hab-
its were good. He obtained a few pu-
pills, but not enough to earn him any
thing like a living. He rented a room,
and by the most rigid economy and by
doing without food was able to save
enough to pay the rent. Failing to get
pupils he has been starving himself for
months.
Not long since, when giving a lesson,
he fell in IA faint from exhaustion on ac-
count of being so weak for want of food.
From this his friendsssuspected his con-
dition and they brought him plenty tc
| eat, but he had done without food for sc
long that his stomach would not digest
the food. He was thoroughly honest
and had with him that pride which
made him feel that he would rather &C
hungry and, if need be, starve than tel
his friends he was too poor to buy
meals victuals. Richmond (Va.) Wing

A Point About Moving.

Then the driver and helper Will put
vonr stuff where you want it in the
proper rooms. It's just as easy Tor 1ne
workmen, and if the floors are ready II
will save a vast amount OF bother 1or
the family. AS a rule people are SO un-
systematic that they pack their carpets
around pictures and centre tables ana
the like, so that it's a days job to get at
them. and several days job to get the
CARPETS down, shifting heavy boxes ana
chairs meantime, and finally making a
floor full of wrinkles and quite possibly
of rents.-Interview in New York sun

A Turtles Toilet.


"Never until this year have | been SO
glad to see the schools begin" said a
prominent citizen.
"Why?' asked his curious friend.
"Wen," replied the gentleman, IT shall
tell you of a remarkable effect which a
school a few miles from here has pro-
duced upon the lower animals.
"a year ago a young couple were
boating on a pond in the vicinity of this
school, when the youth, who was row.
ing, took off his cuffs and laid them on
the seat in the stern of the boat.
"By an unfortunate twirl of her para
sol the young lady knocked the articles
overheard, and the weight of the Buttons
took them straight to the bottom.
"Now comes the wonderful part. A
day or two ago the pond was drained,
and a number of boys in the vicinity
went in with gigs and nets to catch the
fish; but imagine their surprise when
they found a large swapping turtle wear
ing the cuffs in the most approved col
lege style. In consideration for his in
telligence the snapper was allowed tc
pursue his course in civilization, and az
soon as the school convenes a cane and
~spectacles will be dropped for his ben

Dangerous Roman Candles.

A fireworks company near New York
made the fortunate discovery last week
that an employe was filling Roman can
dies with both clay and powder. The
addition of the clay, it is said, makes
the exploding of the candle dangerous,
being liable to cause the bullets to come
out of the end held in the hand. The
man has been arrested, but denies that
he has done as charged.
It appears that thousands of dollars
worth of the candles have been tempered
with. Some of them have been shipped
to customers in various parts of the
United States, but they have been re-
quested to return them to the factory
Officers of the company are of the opin-
ion that he did not put the clay into the
candles of his own accord, but was
prompted to do so by some enemy OF the
