publican success and Speaker Reeds
good and wise ruling in the late Con-

great need Of the passage of that

Mr.. Sincell showed very plainly
how that seven Congressman in
Georgia were not elected but said to
he and sent to Congress by a less
number Cf votes than il takes to elect

party always has been the friend of
the soldiers and proved this by refer
ring to the dependent pension hill
which was vetoed by Grover CIeve-
land but passed by a Republican ma
j0rity in Congress, opposed by a
Democratic majority and signed by a
Republican President. He then
closed by referring to a statement
made some time ago by Mr.. Me-
Kaig who said he had no stock in
pensions. Mr.. Smell was very
much applauded by The large audi
ence which had comein by this time.
The Hon. Milton G.. Urner, of
Frederick County, was then intro
duced and spoke to d considerable
length upon the great Importance
of returning our honored and es.
teemed representative to the Fifty
second Congress. His Congressional
record, which is brightand clean, was
clearly set forth. Hisgreat popular
ity not only in Maryland but
throughout the U. S., was shown in
a very able manner. He then spoke
of the pride we should take IN a rep
resentative who is in Congress, not
to represent capitalists or trusts, but
to represent his constituents in every
respect. He then spoke of the great
mistake which many people make
in retiring a man before he has had
a chance of becoming great, and send
ing an inexperienced man to fill his
place, which is impossible. Numer.
Gus illustrations were made so that
all that WaS said might have its de-
sired effect. The tariff bill was then
ably discussed, showing the import
ance of the me ,sure and the benefits
to be derived from the same. He eX-
planned that the bill is a farmers
bill, a miners bill. a mechanics bill
and an American bill. Mr.. Urner
closed by referring to Mr.. McComas's
honesty, even from youth up and
urging all good Republicans and
Democrats alike to vote for a man
who is able and who will represent
all for their best interest saying that
had he 10000 votes to cast they
should all go for McComas. Mr..
Urner during and at the close Of his
speech was applauded.
Mr.. Sincell then said that Mr.. Nc
Comas would try to speak to the peo-
pie of Accident yet before the cleo
ton. We hope he will. as all are
very anxious to see and hear him.
J. A. Felix, Secretary.
