An Off Year in Politics.

Although politics are red-hot in
this State, due to the factional fight
between the Democratic leaders,
this will be an off year at the polls.
Important elections will be held in
twelve States, as follows: Iowa,
Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mass
achusetts, Mississippi, Nebraska,
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Virginia, and in the Ter
ritory of Utah. Interest will be
taken in the elections in the three
States first named, because it is
there that the silver agitation has
been introduced as factor. From
the present outlook the free coinage
advocates will be buried out of sight
and this will leave clear field for
the National contests which will oc-
cur next year. If the sound money
men score a decided victory in the
coming fall elections, it will tend to
remove the silver issue from the
presidential campaign. In 1896, in
addition to president, a new House
of Representatives will be elected,
and twenty-nine United States sen.
ators whose terms will expire in 1897
will be effected by the result of the
legislative contests. 1t is good
thing from a business standpoint
that the remainder of this year will
be comparatively free from election
excitement.

I am astonished to find so little

/ am astonished to find so little
interest manifested for the preser-
walton Of this highway. The pro-
duce of great portion of Garrett
and adjoining counties pass over it
to market. With the exception of
about twenty-five miles III Allegany
and Garrett counties, l am inform
ed the road is in excellent condition.
In this age of road building when
vast sums of money are being ex-
pended repairing old and building
new highways, can it be possible we
will allow this heritage of the nation
and state, which has cost millions
to construct, to 60 to ruin and de-
cay? This portion of the road was
in fair condition until the close of
the late war, when the wagon trains
of Gen. Sherman's army passed
over it, doing great damage. The
state then threw it upon the county,
Garrett beng young and poor,
repairs were impossible. 1t has
passed from bad to worse.
Our present member of Congress
manifests great interest in the his
tory and Importance of this road,
and has expressed his willingness to
aid us in any measure of relief.
Our claims are valid for Congress
sional compensation. 1 have no
doubt if properly presented Mr..
Wellington will introduce and urge
the bill.
l appeal to the good people of
Garrett county to unite in all effort
to protect, preserve and improve
this road. If the government re-
fuses aid let us apply to the state.
If we are disappointed then we can
and should help ourselves. No
better investment could be made
than the repair of this road. 1t is
an actual necessity and would
greatly enhance the value of any
piece of property in the county.
Very respectfully,
CHAS. BROWN.

FOR GOVERNOR,
Lloyd LoWndes,
OF ALLEGANY COUNTY,
Subject to the decision of the Republican
Nominating Convention.

THE Democrats of Western Mary
land, notably in Allegany and Gar
rett counties, are about the only ones
so far in the State who seem to be
able to throw off the German yoke.
They do not possess the qualities of
weak submission to the boss that
characterizes their brethren in other
sections of the State. They are
not satisfied with simple complain
ing at the dictator's rule, but when
the time comes they act effectively.
We are glad Montgomery is part
of political Western Maryland, and
wish some of her Democrats could
have the courage of their Allegany
contemporaries. Germans wings
need clipping badly.-Montgom
Press.

Lots of Potato Bugs.

The farmers all over the county
have been complaining of the null
titudes of potato bugs. 1t is said
that in several localities the yield
will be only one-third of a crop.
Quite number of farmers have used
salt water, with a sprinkling can
have gone over their potato patches
and exterminated thousands of the
pests. Others have used paris green
and have carefully watched their
vines, but Notwithstanding their
trouble they only have small crops.

FROM EVANSVILLE.

A Former Resident Visits the Ancient
Town on the National Road.
To the Editor OF the Republican.
The last two weeks / have passed
in this village visiting my old home.
My pleasure has been surpassed
only by my surprise at the great
progress and improvement Of this
pleasant and attractive neighbor-
hood. The climate and scenery is
unsurpassed; the days mild, sunny
and salubrious; the nights such as
can only be found in the Alleghe-
nies-cool, balmy and refreshing.
This is the ideal health resort. The
air an appetizer, the water tonic.
Pulmonary diseases almost I'M
known; rheumatism rarely heard
of; malaria total stranger. The
village has perhaps, in late years,
lost in population. A few fine new
residences are to be noticed, but the
four fine churches are credit and
an ornament to the town. The
Methodist and Catholic congrega-
tions have lately finished handsome
and commodious buildings. The
Lutherans and Reformers have
remodeled and nearly rebuilt their
churches. All are modern in their
appointments and very attractive in
appearances.
Perhaps the greatest progress is
to be noted in the agriculture of
this beautiful and fertile Casselman
valley. From the Pennsylvania line
to the source of this stream highly
cultivated fields and farms meet
your view, owned and occupied by
a thrifty, industrious and intelli-
gent people.
l was panied and surprised to see
the decline of the National Road,
which is the great thoroughfare of
Northern Garrett county. This
magnificent highway, which cost
the United States government mill
ions of dollars, has been so shame
fully neglected and outrageously
treated that one almost feels that
this wanton destruction and mutt
latIon of so great and useful public
work should be punished as a
felony. The road may be repaired
but the bridges can never be. The
condition of the grand old bridge
that spans the Casselman at the
Little Crossings appeals to every
Marylander with peculiar force,
particularly those of us who re-
mem Der the pike in the ebay of her
glory" This is the largest single
arch structure on the one thousand
miles of road running from Balti-
more to st. Louis. The long and
massive wing walls of this bridge
have almost disappeared-much by
wanton destruction; time, water
and frost haye done the rest. The
arch of this bridge is now threat
ened by the planting of large and
heavy telegraph posts. The smaller
posts now to be replaced. have
already done much damage, and
now if some action is not immedi-
ately taken to prevent this vandal-
ism, this relic of our former 20 over
and prosperity will be ii sad and
useless ruin.

Price handed it to the detective he

~ANN AesA0N0 ~ w viz AOOSSOlNO hO
remarked that it was very sharp.
He soon dug up bow of ribbon
which Miss Dean had worn in her
hair. On Thursday night, April
3rd, the detectives arrested him.
Price was brought to Baltimore
for safe keeping, it being thought
that he would be lynched if he
remained in Denton Jail, to which
he had been taken after his arrest.
On his way to Baltimore he made a
voluntary confession to the detect
ives, according to their statements
under oath at the trial at Denton,
in which he said that he committed
the crime. On his arrival in Baltl-
more he said he wished to have a
talk with Marshal Frey, and on
being taken before him made q con-
fession, in which he denied being
the principal in the crime and i'm
plicated a young teacher named
Grant Corkran, who lived but a
short distance from the scene of
/ the murder.
The confession was submitted us
evidence against him at the trial.
In the confession Price told a
shocking story of the details of the
crime of which he said Corkran
was the principal and he a witness.
He added that Corkran had used
his razor and they had quarreled
over the body.
On the strength of the confession
Detectives Gault and Siebold re-
turned to Harmony and arrested
Corkran, who confronted Price IN
the Central station in Baltimore
and denounced him as a liar. This
occurred Sunday, April 9TH. The
only thing against Corkran was
Prices word, and he was released
from custody after spending several
days IN jail. He insisted that he
knew nothing of the matter. Cork,
ran was present and testified at the
trial, and was in the court room
when sentence of death was passed
on Price. Price later made a con.
fession to Sheriff Barry in which he
declared that Corkran had nothing
to do with the crime, and that he
had laid it on him in the hope that
he-Price-would get off with a
Tighter sentence, and also because
Corkran had gotten the better OF
him in a trade. Price afterward
denied that he had ever made such
a confession.
The trial was held in Denton be-
fore Judges Wickes and Stump,
beginning on April 30th and lasting
several days. The case was tried
before the court without jury,
and Price was sentenced to be
hanged. The people were willing
that he should be hanged by the
State on the day fixed. The aglta-
ton for new trial and the news
that reprieve had been granted
aroused them again, and fearing
that Price might escape what they
considered just punishment for
his crime, they took the law into
their own hands.

Evils of Republican Rule.


No greater calamity, in business way,
could befall Maryland than would result from
placing the state under Republican rule.
MARYLAND needs immigration and capital and
neither will come to a state where Negro rule
i threatened or actual. No Southern State
began to progress until the Republican party
was driven from power in it. There is not a
Northern Republican, except aspiring politi-
clans, who 90 South that does not ally him
self with the whites against the black hosts.
The Republicans from Carroll who have gone
further South in state elections vote the Demo
cratic ticket, and no Northern Republican
will settle III a county or invest money where
there is a majority of colored voters. There are
counties in Maryland where the blacks about
equal the whites in number, and they are
going behind rather than progressing, because
immigrants fear Negro aseendaney, with in
competency and extravaganza in the manage
ment of affairs.
Baltimore has made more progress in re-
cent years than any of the chief cities of the
country and some parts Of Maryland have
progressed substantially. Place the Repub-
liean party in power, with its 1900 negro
voters, with its vindietive bosses and line OF
ofiee-seeking lieutenants, and check will
have been given to progress, growth and enter
prise, and distrust, uncertainty and stagnation
will follow.

Deceit.

The Baltimore San, the chief Republican
and Tax Dodger organ of Maryland, in speak
ing of turning over the state to Republican
rule, says
1--WE cannot conceive ola more damning comics
sion from the lips of any set of politicians that than
YOU cannot afford to let the Republicans win. be-
cause that the loss ofthe election machinery.
The SIN well knows what turning over the
election machinery to the Republicans means.
During Republican rule in Maryland, 'chen 1t
lcas too coudrdly to protest, elections were
mere farces. 1t knows that every election
officer was partisan Republican, and a par
tisan, usually, of the most INSCRIPTIONS kind.
1t knows that Democrats were beaten and
driven from the polls, and that those who
were allowed to vote did so under crossed
bayonets. 1t well knows that the ballots were
counted with no Democratic eye to witness,
and that the returns were made up to serve
partisan ends 1t well knows all this, and as
one of the candidates on the Republican state
ticket wants the party judged by its record,
we take ii that Republican success means a
repetition of the rule given when that party
was in power here.
