Hon. Geo. Q. s,nrgiss IN oharles- TO,on.

The Hon. George c. Sturgiss, of Morgan
town, U. 5. attorney for the district Of West
Virginia, and prominent Republican poll
tician. addressed an audience OF some sixty
voters. about equally divided between the
two parties, at the court house Tuesday at
ternoon. His speech WAS delivered In
pleasant, conversational manner, was argu-
mentative and conciliatory, and, on the
whole. an adroit and plausible statement oil
his side of the controversy, unmarried by
enumeration or bitterness and free from
anything offensive to his Democratic hear
ers. Mr.. Sturgiss began with an attempt
10 divert attention from the great questions
of the time by discussing at some length the
proposed repeal of the tax on State bank
issues and the evils of wildcat currency"
His treatment of the Force bill was laugha-
bly weak. OF course the provisions of the
bill were not discussed but the speaker
dwelt upon the appointment according to
the requirement of law, he admitted) of
deputy marshals in Wheeling at the
election Of 1SSS,by Democratic Marshal
Sehon, arrest Of a single negro and exodus of
two hundred scared dsrkies. He did not
tell his hearers what they might expect
these things being possible under the pres
ent law-from the operation of measure
designed to place partisan federal officials
in control of elections, and drawn by John
|. Davenport who arrested seven thousand,
or more, in New York under the old law
He argued however, that no law could be
passed of which the great body Of the peo-
pie did not approve, said the Force bill was
defeated in the Senate by Republican votes,
and patheticaly appealed to his hearers to
be magnanimous and forgiying-to forget
the record of the party and be guided in
casting their votes by the needs of the hour.
The discussion of the tariff was mainly
along the familiar lines followed by Repub-
lican speakers and writers. The hoary free
trade hobgoblin was paraded, and extracts
were read from Peck's famous report upon
the effect of the Mckinley tariff on wages
without mention of the fact that the stat
istician refuses to make public the alleged
information upon which the report was
based, and is actually threatened with legal
punishment for destroying records belong
ing to the State
Comparison was made Of the appropria-
tons of the Fifty second with those of the
"billion" Congress, without the explanation
that pension and other laws enacted by
Reeds Congress, which the Democrats had
no power to repeal, created the necessity for
the enormous appropriations made this year
Mr. Sturgiss was introduced by Postmas-
ter Higinbotham. A portrait of our next
President, left upon the wall after the great
Democratic meeting of Thursday night,
looked down more in sorrow than in anger
upon the little baud Of errng patriots, and
seemed to smile pityingy at the speaker
hopeless efforts to cover up, excuse or de-
fend the grand old party's record.

In Washington last week we heard a c.
A. r. man say that jeff Davis and Gen.
R. E Lee should have been hung for starry
ing Union men in prison" We asked him
if he knew the proportion of prisoners at
Elmira and AndersonviIe, respectively,
who died, and he didn't know but he
didn't undertake to controyert our state
ment that there were more deaths, in proper
ton to prisoners, at Elmira-where the au-
thorities had plenty TO eat-than there were
deaths at AndersonviIle, where starvation
was almost the lot Of the prison guards
We then told him that his remark about
Davis and Lee was no, creditable to the
uniform he wore. Closer observation re-
vealed the fact that he belonged to the 9th
Massachusetts regiment-the same that
lot of men whipped with stones in Balti-
more-and we excused him for his intem-
perate speech.

Intensive Farmin

This is the established phrase to ex-
press that condition of farming where
each acre and every square yard of
each acre is made to produce the very
largest possible yield. One acre is thus
made to do the work of ten, nay of
even one hundred. Instances are of
record where fruits aud vegetables
well cared for have yielded enormously
and with great perfection of product.
And what is now the exception may
become the rule under proper system
of intensive farming. What is required
for this result is small farms, The
Melvin Garden Farms near Annapo-
lis have been planned and beautifully
laid off with this object in view. The
land is of fine quality for the purpose,
easily improved, with high, healthy
building sites close to the city of An
napolis. The easy terms upon which
Mr.. Melvin Offers these Garden Farms
invite attention. Call and get his maps
and descriptive circulars and invest in
