torn. Md.:
NM Dear Sir:-When 1 mailed you
my letter OF Oct, 1St. accepting your
suggestion as to joint discussions. l
believed that the public discussion
would be conducted with decorum
and good feeling. and the canvass
lifted from the slough of personal
abuse to the plane of national poll
tics.
A perusal of the following infam-
Ously false and malignant statement
clipped from the editorial columns
of the last issue of the Herald and
Torch Light. edited and controlled. I
am informed, by Charles w. Adams,
your app0intee IN the House of Rep
resentatives, will show you the char
acter of treatment that Is to be meted
out to me by the paper advocating
your cause. and the utter fallacy of
expecting any good results to come
from the joint discussion:
"Mr WeIlingt0n's declaration that
Mr.. McKaig saw fit in the days of
our trouble to go South and array
himself under the flag that was OPP
posed to the Stars ana Stripes was
practically correct. the facts being
these: Mr.. McKaig was engaged in
furnishing information to the rebels.
and when 1t became unsafe for rim
to remain longer in loyal Maryland
he went South within the Rebel
lines. Two entirely creditable citi-
zens of Cumberland and a resident of
this county are the sources of our in.
formation on this point. Mr.. Wei.
lington, therefor. is not "a liar and
again the Malt is mistaken"
Understanding Mr.. Adams to be
your accredited political agent, can
not allow the arrangements for the
joint discussion to go any further, fov
don't propose to be met in front
with decorous debate gilded over
with good feeling, whilst am being
knitted in the back with maliciC us ed.
iturial comments 'sed upon false
facts furnished by straw witnesses
Many false statements have been
made in relation to my private and
public life which l haye never no.
ticed. but the degrading and scurril-
Gus character of the above fabrica
ton cannot pass unnoticed, and 1
draw the line right here in condemn-
ing it by the method set forth in this
letter. Very truly,
W. M. MCKAIG.
CUMBERLAND, Md, Oct. 10, 1890.
Dear Sr:-The Suns report of the
HagerstoWn convention appraised
me of your willingness to have a

Secretary.
Mr.. McComas has served for many
years on the Committee on the Dis
trict Of Columbia. and has been
brought into intimate relations and
close contact with the people. itch
and poor. of Washington. The
workingmen have closely observed
his conduct. both in and out of Con-
gress. and they have always found
him in the front ranks during battle
for their rights and interest. He has
been prominent in his support of all
measures brought before Congress to
amelIorate the condition of the labor
ing man. and particularly has he
been effective in his efforts to have
eight hours established as a days
work for employees working for Gov
eminent contractors and doing Coy
ernment work. These things have
been noticed by the working people
of Washington, where the duties of
his Office call him the greater part of
his time, and hence the above unan.
imous resolutions participated in by
both Democrats and Republicans.

The Press., 1890-08-28

"GiDe her the ltfe thGt she s0UeG."
 "How am to reward her, Dr. Selwyn? That is what puzzles me-" And the patient, Harry Forester, leaned back in the comfortable chair which had been provided for him, and looked up with an expression of real anxiety on his face.
 ''She has saved your life twice -once at the eminent risk of her own and again by her devoted nursing. You are the one to place an estimate on the value of such service"
 The two men were alone. Jamie had gone for walk on the bluffs and Mrs. Burton had borrowed neighbours wagon, and with the boys had gone to Orquay for household supplies.
 Ten days of convalescence had done wonders for the stranger; he was now out of danger and rapidly recovering.
 "It was 8 wonderful thing for girl to do, that is 8 fact" he resumed. "I was about gone. remember her hands how they held on to mine. don't re- member anything else until awoke and saw you leaning over me-"
 "I have not mentioned it before, :" said the doctor, 'sbut I have wondered why you were not missed and searched after. l"
 "Oh, that isn't strange at all. often strike out for trip, and I seldom write to the governor unless I have business. I have no mother to worry about me. As told you, was thinking of invest ing few thousands in timber lands, and was looking through here when this happened. A mighty close call, I can tell you, and then to be rescued by a girl. A nice job it is, I must sayl But how am to reward her? want you to help me with your advice. Ihave been studying it over ever since could think at all. Of course am going to do the fair thing-give her mother lot of money if she will have it, and all that, but what must I give the girl3'
 ''Give her the life that she saved. Give her your heart-if you have one."
 ''Oh, by love, doctor, that is going it too strong. I don't say that I couldn't love the girl, and if I lived in these woods it would be all right. But to take her to St. Louis and introduce her into my set, couldn't, you know, and then her family! Oh, no-ask me to do some- thing easy"
 'As easy, for instance, as for girl to pull you out of the clutches of death and nurse you back to life and strength"
 ''I say will do anything in reason. In a novel of course I should fall in love and marry her regardless of convention alities. But will make a confession to you, doctor. Two days before fell into that cursed creek was at ball, and I met my divinity there a little angel in rose cOlored tulle-and I waltzed with
The Press., 1890-08-28

"You must be gro,0ing deltrious again,
 Mr. Forester"
 Here he began to revolve in his mind the subject of reward.
 "Confound Selwyn's prider' he said to himself. Il know girls-there are thou sands of things that they want, and am going to find out what she would like" < entrance of Jamie herself, with her hands full of early wildfowers, which she laid on stand at his side.
 s.How we'll you look!" he exclaimed half enviously. ''Do you know, Miss Jamie, the doctor says that have trou- bled you long enough, and he means to take me away to his house tomorrow"
 Jamie stood as if turned to marble, while the color slowly drifted out of her face.
 Harry Forester looked up, expecting reply, and was struck with pity at her expression.
 Do sit down." he said, s'and let us talk a little" He reached for chair and she dropped into it.
 "Are you sorry to be rid of your trou- OAV0OAAAO CASb1 4hAAoo OcAASs
 "Yes," she said. My life has been so different of late; but it is all over now, and there will never be any change again"
 ''Oh, don't think that; am sure hope that you will be very happy"
 Her eyes were downcast, and as he looked at her he was for the first time struck by the statuesque beauty of her face and form, and he began to wonder if after all she were not the disguised princess of some fairy story. His thoughts found expression: "I hope you will pardon me, Miss Jamie, but haven't you seen better days"
 ''No," she answered, 'I never saw any better days than these, and I never shall see any better. There is no romance about me, MT. Forester, I am not even founding. My father is 8 machinist and works in Orquay. We live out here because it is cheaper. We own this little place, and. the boys run wild in the woods except when there is school"
 'tYou have school then?' he asked, at 8 loss what to say.
