GREAT Mills,

October. 10Th, 1892.
Messrs. Editors:-Thinking that a few
items Of news from this section Of the coun-
ty might not prove altogether uninteresting
we will endeayor as briefly as possible TO
give them together with some thoughts Of
our own bearing upon the same and pre-
Stunning upon the very kind consideration
heretofore shown your correspondenrby
We Editors, with confidence we assume the
pleasant task. We had the pleasure on
yesterday the 27th OF attending d very sue
cessful and enthusiastic democratic meeting
at Jarboesville, which TO say the least was
one tf the most pleasant and interesting.
The several speakers that addressed us ex-
celled themselves and we do not believe
thai any people anywhere in the State (all
things taken into consideration were more
highly favored than the unterriaed democ-
racy of the Eighth District on that occasion,
thanks to the grand and noble men that
addressed US, enlightening our minds
upon the great and vital questions that
appeal to every patriotic Americans heart
and directing us in The way of duty. To
discriminate between them would be invId-
ious. ST. Mary's will vie with any county
in the State in her array Of local democratic
talent. DIR. r. p. Blackstone began the
assault on the enemy in good fashioned
democratic style, making fearful break
upon their Mckinley robber tariff bill.
Hon. Jos. II. Key followed. With rapt OF.
tentiCn we listened, as he 30 eloquently
portrayed to US how our agricultural in
terests was so uujustly Disseminated a.
gainst by the heartless, souiess corporate
greed loving monopoly Mckinley law,
with his scimetar well poised he approach
ed that devils ghost that sum OF all vii
lianies, the infamous Davenport Lodge
force bill and showed how by the gift of
prescience some of our forcfathers foTetold
in their debates on the constitution that
Catalina conspirators would arise in the
future and rape the sacred instrument to
suit their helIish and ambitious designs.
Weinvoluntarily brought sigh and wished
within ourselves that st. Mary's, poor dis
honored st. Mary's, had such nohleman
to uphold her honor in the Senate of Mary
land, the worthy son Of an illustrious sire,
a scion of the same name that has immor-
talized in song the stripes and stars that
spangle our National banner. Mr.. Key
took the same position on the pension
question that his illustrious chief Grover
Cleveland takes, that the penson roll should
be roll of honor and not be open TO every
camp follower, hospital hummer and boun-
ty jumper in the land; his pathetic allusion
to the poor neglected Confederate soldier
brought emotion to our soul, but we were
comforted by the thought that they fought
for principle and not for pay; that principle
still lives; the mills Of the Gods grind
slowly but surely; the day Of retribution
will come; twas then decided by brute
force the battle of Asmageddon has not yet
been fought but will be. We beg pardon
of the other speakers who did us honor on
that occasion we have not forgotten them
because we are writing in detail. b. Harris
Camalier next spoke with force and elo-
quence electrifng The audience notwith.
standing he was laboring under severe
bodily indisposition. DIR. Richardson got
his democratic blood up and the way he
made the hair fly was caution to the G.
o. p. Next arose in response TO lusty calls
DR.. Walton Of your Town who surprised
us by his cool, calm and logical presenta-
ton Of the questions now at Issue. With q
prophets ken he told the people how they
would ANONYMOUSLY until too late alas,
arouse 10 find themselves manacled in
the letters Of serfdom and slavery to the
powers of mammon. Last butnot least came
forward our own game chicken L. J. Wise,
before he got through with the republicans
having made Jarboesville too hot for them
that choosing between the devil and the
deep sea they took to the water, in direct
line for Patuxent river and the last we
heard of them they were swearing alle-
glance to Grover Cleveland. Give your
selves no uneasiness Messrs. Editors the
old Eighth district is coming 70 the front.
We hope to greet you with happy saluta-
tons on the 10th Of November
Truly Yours,
BIS.
