The Llght Weight sneaked into Annapolis
Saturday and made a speech NJ that place
Saturday evening. Kinsey's movements are
very mysterious and the reason he i so quiet
about his dates is that he is afraid there will
be some DemocI at on band TO confront and
confuse him. There ISM, i school boy over
II years Old in the district hut ought to be
able TO down the Light Weight in a tariff de-
bate.

We understand that j. \. Field, of St.
Louis. delivered an ultra protective tariff
lecture at the N. L. Church in this city last
sunday evening. Mr.. Fie Id is protected
manufacturer Of iron machinery, who has
one price for his goods in this country and
another price for the foreign trade. OF

be served from 4:30 P. NJ. Proceeds for BEN
eft of Pastor. All are cordially invited. The
supper, we understand, will be prepared
under the supervision Of Mrs. j. Newman,
and this guarantees that the edibles will be
prepared in a toothsome manner. The pro-

object, and we feel sure the patronage ofthe
public will be liberal.

The case of State vs.. Robert Williams,
charged with assault to rape, was taken up
Monday. and occupied the court until Tues
day evening, when il was given the jury.
After deliberatiEg about forty-dve minutes,
a verdict of not guilty was returned. Will
liams is known as a "bad nigger," and his
acquittal was rather surprise. However,
he was ably defended, and no doubt evil
deoce concerning the reputation of the pros

In Belleyiew, the Republican strikers tell
the people that the candidates on the Dem
don't care for Belleview; can be elected
without it, In the South End-at Annap-
oils and Des Archie lie is repeated, SUBJ
stituting the names of Des ARC, or Annapo-
lis, to suit. OF course, no Democrat is 60
ing to be gulled by such means, but they
show to what desperate methods some OF the
Republican candidates resort. Give it to
em in the neck, fellow Democrats: They
can't di>franchise you now.

Mr.. VIM. Searle, President of the Pilot
Knob Republican Club, in this issue of the
REGISTER disclaims the resolutions regard
ing the editor of this paper published i'll last
weeks Truth, and purpo- ing to have been
adopted by the Club. Similar disclaimers
have been privately made to US by every
reputable member Of that organization. AS
for Mr.. Lueddecke and his confreres, we
shall have no newspaper controversy with
than. Another forum shall determine be-
tween Us. In the meantime we stand pat
upon the charges made the week before, and
can prove every one of them.

The campaign methods used by the Re
pubcans of this county in behalf of their
ticket remind one forcibly Of the ''good old
times" when a Democrat stood no show: il
is a pers oDal campaign, whereby advantage
is sought, not by advocating the merits of the
Republican candidates, hut by traducing
their opponents. Lies are filling the c1rcum-
ambient atmosphere as plentiful as flowers
in May. One of these Is to the effect that
Hon. 4. W. Holloman, Presiding Judge of
the County Court, aud candidate for re-elec-
ton, has violated the law by borrowing
school funds during his term of office, and
giving therefor only nominal real estate Sc
curity. What are the facts in the case?
We state them briefly: MIR. Holloman
has not borrowed one cent of school fund
during his incumbsncg, nor has he at
tempted to do 50. In January, 1880, three
years before he first took his seat as Judge,
he. with other members of his family, bor-
roned 5000 from the school fund, giving
ample security, both personal and real.
Since then there has been paid on the note,
as interest, $3.50 80; on the principal, $3S9.52
leaving yet due, $40 The real estate
morgaged to the school fund to secure the
payment of this sum is assessed at $4,000.
Even the Truth, we take it, will admit that
this Is "proper real estate security.' The
above fgu res and facts are of record. and
the records are open to all who may desire
to verify or di>prove our statement Of the
case. Judge Holloman has been q resident
of the Valley for fifty years, and in all that
time has never done an act that may be
pointed at with the finger OF scorn, and even
Republican contumely might be expected to
stop short of as>ailing his character. He is
revered and loved by all who know him in
private and public life, and Is UNNECESSARILY
superior to these assaults, made upon him
for purely political purposes. 1t is not nee
essary to defend him, and the foregoing Is
submitted merely As an evidence of the men,
