Big Democratic Meeting at Havre de


The Democrats of Havre de Grace fired their
first gun on Monday night. They had already
opened up headquarters at the Dugan build
ing in Fountain Square, where for years the
battles of both the political parties
have been fought. The campaign committee
had erected large pavilion with stand
twelve by thirty-two feet, upon which were
seated the speakers of the evening and the
officers of the meeting. The stage was
handsomely decorated with bunting, flags
and Chinese lanterns, in the centre Of which
hung light-box containing the photograph
of Hon. John E. Hurst At regular dis
tances from the stand on the Main street were
placed four large engine headlights, and
about the square fifty night-hawks.
When Mr.. Hurst and his party alghted
from the train at twelve minutes past six
they were greeted by several bands Of music,
in blaze of light coming from the hundreds
of torches and Chinese lanterns with which
the station and grounds surrounding it were
illuminated.
The entire party was placed in carriages,
the double file of horsemen and clubs from
different sections of the county, opened
ranks and they quickly passed through, the
ranks then closeing up. The marshall, A. F.
Slymer, gave the signal and the march began,
going down Green street to Union avenue
and to the palatial residence of Internal Rev.
enue Collector Murray Vandiver, where they
were entertained The procession then left
Mr.. Vandiver's continuing down Union avenue
,I,;,
street, up Washington street past head
quarters, taking in the entire length of the
city.
The meeting was called to order by Walter
7. jackson, chairman OF the campaign com
mittee. E. T. Prtchard was made president.

MOUNTAIN, Oct. 2l.-The farmers of this
section are about through wheat seeding and
are now busy husking corn. Apple picking
is also about over. Although the crop was
very large, not many have been saved for win
ter use, as great quantity fell from the trees
before picking time.
The continued dry weather still holds out
and streams are very low, the cotton mill at
Franklnville not being able to make more
than three quarters time, and the grist mills
have to shut down several hours every day
TO allow their dams to fill up.
Mr.. William A. Wilson uses his roller mill
at Jerusalem day and night so as to be able
to supply his customers.
The fine weather of October has had the
effect of keeping the city folks at their coun-
try residences about month later than usual.
Mr.. Thomas K. Clendenin and family expect
to leave Olney for their city home this week.
Mrs. Fred Shriyer will leave the Mountain
about November |.
Mr.. William A. Vogts left last week for
Sparrow's Point, where he expects to secure
a situation.
Mr. Samuel Montague goes this week to
Tunis Mills and st. Michael's, on the Eastern
Shore, to visit relatives and friends and eat
oysters.
Montague, the painter, has secured the
contract for painting and decorating the
house of Mr.. E. II. Pomeroy, in the historic
town of Abingdon.
Mr.. John h. HardeSty Is still confined to
his home by Illness
Miss Sophia Norris, of Wheel, is visiting
DR.. and Mrs. Charles Bagley, at Bagley, this
county.
John w. Anderson and family, of Bel Air,
spent Sunday on the Mountain. Genial
''Jack"is always a welcome visitor here.
The services of the convention of the Chris
tian churches of Maryland, Delaware and the
District of Columbia, which will be held at
the Mountain Christian Church beginning on
the evening of the 2Sth inst, will be worth
attending as there will be some very promi
nent ministers of that denomination present,
who will deliver addresses each evening dur
ing the convention. Among them will be the
Rev. f. d. Power, of Washington, d. c., for
merly Chaplain Of the House of Representa-
tives.
Politics, which has been the main topic for
the past two months, has about cooled down
to its normal condition, and about nine out
ten of the violent kickers have made up their
minds to support the straight Democratic
ticket and roll up the usual good majority OF
old Abingdon district. No Democrat can
afford to do otherwise than to support the
party's nominees if he has spark of regard
for the principles of jefferson, jackson and
Tilden. So let them close up their ranks,
stand shoulder to shoulder and march on to
such a victory as will forever put out of
sight the Republican party and negro domi-
nation in this county and State
