churches.

THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans throughout the
second congressional district should
lose no time in perfecting their par
ty organization in order that their
full strength may be brought to the
polls in November. Strange as it
may seem, it is nevertheless true,
that the free traders are making
desperate effort to hold this district
Notwithstanding the fact that its in.
terests are SO largely dependent
upon the preservation of a protective
tariff, and hence the imperative dnty
of every Republican to join hands in
opposition to the common enemy.
All preferences for particular candi-
dates, all disappointments, real or
fancied should be reIegated to the
rear and united front presented so
that victory may crown our efforts
in November. No test OF manhood
is so absolute as that of duty well
performed, and in no way can Re-
publican more surely compel party
recognition than by working vigor-
ously and cheeriully for party sue
cess. We feel sure that the Repub-
lican column, led by able aud worthy
leaders and animated by high and
lofty purpose, will be found to con-
tain within its ranks no drones or
laggards, but that each member will
consider it personal duty to press
forward and achieve "a decisive vic
tory,

SENATORIAL COURTESY RECORD.

Until within few years, Mr.. Cor
man has been officially a dictator
in Maryland. He is personally res
possible for tha policy OF the party,
the conduct OF the State government
and the management of the finances,
because evey financial agent until
the appointment Of the present
Treasurer. has been his work. Every
appointment or election to Office
which has brought diScredit on the
party for fifteen or twenty years,
has been a personal appointment of
Mr.. German.
| Every nominee on the State ticket
for years, with the single exception
of Mr.. Hamilton for governor, has
been his selection. Important legis,
lation has been largely framed in
accordance with his will.
In addition to all this, he has had
the conduct OF all the State cam.
paigns. No man in the State need
entertain any ambition, however
honorable, whatever his abilities or
fitness might BE-, who did not submit
himself to Mr. Germans will aud
walk in his ways.
How has he borne himself in his
high Office!
The only way to answer this ques-
ton is to look at results.
In the legislative department OF
government, the lobby las been Su.
preme at Annapolis, with all that it
implies.
Offices have been multiplied and
expenditures of taxation have been
kept up to high water mark.
IL the treasury department bad
financiering and disregard of the
Constitution has been the rule, aud
has finally eliminated III defalcatiou.
As President of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, Mr.. Gorman's record
is no better. He found it flourish.
ing, money making concern, and
left it Il wreck. AS party leader
and political manager the monotony
of buagling and selfish management
is not relieved. He took command
of the party when 1t had a clear ma
jority of nearly thirty thousand and
has held on to it until Its majority
over all has to be counted by hun.
dreds instead of thousands. This,
too, at time when the Democratic
party was becoming stronger in
almost every State in the Union.
No one can deny these facts. Some
will attempt to explain them away.
But it will be useless. The records
of the legislature speak for them
selves and the long lists Of oflicehol.
ders and bills OF expenses stand rs
dumb witnesses. Self-respectlng
men in Baltimore have been driven
into rebellion against the party by
the annual spectacle of forced nomi-
nations and elections by violence or
fraud.--HagerSto,on Mail.

West Virginia's U. S. Senators
are as Inconsistent politically as
they are pretentious and partisan
and selfish. Free trade in wool, lum.
Der and iron, is what they preach
because the tariff is a tax and the
poor people have to pay it as they
proclaim with affected sympathy, for
they have nothing in sentiment, fact
or feeling with the poor people.
But free coal they oppose. Why do
their arguments applyto wool and not
to coal. If it is the poor mans dinner
bucket and coat that they want to
make cheap by free trade why not
his sugar and his fuel 10y the same
means. They oppose free trade in
coal because it would bring foreign
coal in competition with our coal
and our labor, and cheaper both.
Will it not do the same with wool
and lumber, and are they not dema
gogues in the disguise of ariStocratic
statesmen 3?

THE FARMERS OPPORTUNITY.

For years past there has been a
growing belief among the masses
that the lawyers have absorbed far
more than their share Of the law max.
ing power, and that this power has
in too many instances been exercis
ed to the detriment of the farmers.
This feeling has found vent in the
organization of the Farmers Ali,
ance, an institution designed to fos.
ter and protect the great agricu!tur'
al interest of the country. 1t is non
political in design and has already
seriously marred the political career
of more than one Congressman.
That the farmers as class receive
far less at the hands OF legislative
bodies than they deserve is an undis.
puted fact, and that they have at
last organized for offense and defense
augurs we'll for the future of the coun-
try. 1t they stand shoulder to Shout
der and ignore the frantic cry of pro-
iessional politicians they will place
in the next Congress a sufficient
number IMPRACTICAL farmers to secure
just and needed legislation in their
behalf. II they turn deaf ear to
the appeals Of party strikers who
urge them to vote the old ticket in
order to "save the party" and vote
for a man of their own class and
known to be identified in interest
with them they show to the country
that they believe in the righteous.
ness OF their cause and are earnest
in their efforts to maintain it.
The nomination Of George H. Har.
mon, of Grant county, affords the
farmers Of the second congressional
district an opportunity to Sead one
OF their number to Congress and
thus secure representative who
will work and vote f3r their inteIe Sts.
This nomination also enable those
who have made such loud proles
sions of friendship for the farmer to
show whether they are sincere.
Every farmer in this district is di.
rectly and personally interested in
seeing Mr.. Harmon elected to Con.
gress, and every one who fails to
vote for him strikes Il blow at his
own interests and at the interests
OF every farming community in the
country. The fdrIAers OF the second
congressional district should realize
that this is their opportunity. If
they fail to embrace it the fault will
be with themselves.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indivi-
dual. Such remarkable event is treas
ured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that so much is heard in praise of Elec-
trio Bitters. SO many feel they owe
their restoration to health, to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of Kid
neys, Liver or Stomach. of long or short
standing, you will surely find relief by
use of Electric Bitters. Sold at SOC. and
