Veterans. How Can You Vote for
Cleveland or Mckalg?
Gen. Daniel +. Sickles was a
Major General of the Army of the
Potomac. At one time he COM
manded the Third Army Corps,
which fought in many of the hard
est battles of the Civil war. 1t
fought at Antietam and Gettysburg.
In the latter Gen. Sickles lost a
leg.
The General was one of the New
York delegates to the Democratic
National convention. When he
saw the convention would nomi-
nate Cleveland against the wishes
of New York, he served notice on
the party that 10000 Democratic
soldiers Of that state would never
vote for Grover Cleveland.
Last Thursday he spoke at the
reunion Of his corps at Washington
lie alluded touchingly to President
Harrison troubles and he insti-
tuted a comparison between the
brave soldier and the man "who
was content to serve his country by
Il vicarious sacrifice . He declared
he would not vote for Cleveland.
His speech was quoted in the papers
and the +, port was subsequently de-
MED by Democratic organs; where
upon, in response to letter asking
his confirmation of the language at
tributed to him, he said:
'Ever so many thanks for your
kind est mate of what | said. The
men heard it, and | meant it, and

General Slckles can't vote for the
coward who hired substitute; who
sneered at the services and suffer
ings of veterans, and who, often
with scott, vetoed more than four
times as many pension bills as all
his predecessors in the Presidential
office.
You, also, if you are Union
veteran, ask yourself how can you
vote for Grover Cleveland, the cow
ard, or for William McKaig, the

A correspondent of the CUM er-
land Ne'rs, writing from Pied
mont under date of Monday, has
the following to say in regard to
Garrett County and the political
schemes imposed upon her people
by the Legislature of the state:
"The Democrats believe in theory
only (same as tariff for revenue
only in local rights. Now we have
a case in point-at Kitzmillersville,
just opposite to Blaine station, on
the West Virginia Central and Pitts
burg railway, and which village
is in the good county of Garrett.
where there was at one time vot-
ing precinct, and it gave those Re-
publican fellows sixty-six majority.
Now what did our Democratic
friends do, but 90 to the MARYLAND
Legislature and have this voting
place closed and when the county
road cut the town in two parts,
sent one-half of the voters to Alta
mont, ten miles to vote, and the
other half-ten miles to Deer Park
to vote-because in seeding time
and rainy weather those Repubh-
can voters might have to remain at
home, and not vote-against the
Democrats, and thereby give them
a chance to carry the county; this
Is not fiction, but solid fact, and if
you don't believe it, wait and sec
how those men will repudiate such
trlckery by assisting to elect We'll
lington. They will not have "free
WOOL pulled over their eyes this
time. Wait till you hear the re-
turns from Bitter creek. There
Will be both weeping and wailing.'
On the 18th of October, which is
Monday next, the county officers of
registration will complete their
work of the year by a final revision
of the registration lists. On that
day they will finally determine the
cases Ct all who have been set down
to be stricken off, and make up the
books for the election in November.
They will register no new voters Oh
the 18th, as the actual term fol
registration has closed, and those
who are not on the books now will
not have the right to vote this fall.
