June. when a more general uprising is
anticipated.

An ANAHcHIsrIc TABLEAux.
BunaIO's Socialist Labor Partisans
Cheer IL Wildly.

Buffalo. y Y, March 1.-THE social
list labor party celebrated the anniversary
OF the French commute last night. The
speeches were guarded in tone. but the
symbolic color Of anarchy was every
where.
When Erasmus Pelienz Of Syracuse. the
principal speaker Of the evening, had
finished, the climax OF the evening came.
When the curtain rolled up it disclosed
a scene which made the audience jump
TO its feet with yells of delight and APP
prevail The tableau was a significant one,
and showed the sentiments Of a majority
Of those present. About fifteen people
were in the tableau. The central figure
was young woman. who essayed the part
of Miss Liberty. Like all we'll
regulated Miss Liberty's. she wore
flowing robes of white and
had her right arm extended on high In
her uplifted hand she held a sword of
great proportions. Clustered around h er
were dozen men, representing the labor
ing classes. Every one Of them held
weapon which was capable OF deadly exc
cu1on. One held a revolver and another
a Ratchet. and a slung shot and a rife
and several held bludgeons of various
sizes.
In front of this array was a man in
evening dress. He represented the capi-
talist. He had well-feigned look of ter
ror in his countenance, as he surveyed the
scowling mob in front of him. The or
chestra played the ''Marseillas." Several
herce-bearded men in the audience
jumped on chairs and threw their hats
into the air. Several of the women be-
came imbued with the spirit of the oc-
casion and waved their handkerchiefs in
the air. The curtain was run up five
times, and even then the audience did not
have enough of the tableaux. Only when
some in the wings burned red fire and
made the already vivid scene more vivid
did the audience suhsida

\ SENSATION IN A LIBEL SUIT.
Paper Prints an Editorial After a
Guarantee AGAINST Damages.


Guarantee Against Damages.
Elkhart, Ind. March l7.--Sensational de-
velopments occurred yesterday in the libel
case of Judge Blake against the publish
ers of the Goshen Daily Times. Col. +.
NJ. johnson, a wealthy attorney of this
city, was recently a defendant in Judge
Blake's court. and after bitter fight a
judgment was taken against. him The
following day the Times denounced the
judge for his rulings in the case and held
him up to ridicule The judge Immediate
~ began libel proceedings. placing the
damages at $4,000. Evidence was brought
out that Col. Johnson had personally pro-
cured the publication of the editorial and
had furnished the publishers of the Times
a bond indemnifying them against all
damages that might accrue from libel
suits resulting from the publication, and
also from the attorneys fees and all other
expenses with it. The prominence of all
the parties made the revelation a sensa-
ton. Col Johnson was an official of New
Mexico under President Clevelands first
administration, has amassed great
wealth and was a recent candidate for
the Berlin mission.

A Strong Nomination, Strongly Made


Strongly Accepted.
Hon. Lloyd Lowndes last We'd
nesday accepted the anti-Gorman
nomination for the Governorship in
letter which is wholly satisfactory
to the thousands who are support
ing him in this campaign,
The nomination of Mr.. Lowndes
is a strong nomination, strongly
made. His letter Is strong in its
simple clearness and in it's evident
sincerity. The candidate takes up
the pledges of the platform one after
the other and gives his personal in
dorsement to them.
The people of Maryland trust Mr..
Lowndes and they believe that he
will keep his promises. Mr.. Lown-
des, like Mr.. Hurst, is a man of
the highest integrity. But unlike
Mr.. Hurst, he stands on platform
declaring for imperatively needed
reforms, concerning which the Cor
man-Rasin platform is significantly
silent. And, again unlike Mr..
Hurst, Mr.. Lowndes, if elected
will be in position to command the
support of his party IN the fulfill
ment of the pledges which it and we
have made.
The record and personality of the
Cambridge tnominee, the platform
OF the Cambridge Convention, which
in its civil service reform and fair
elections planks is more democratic
than the Democratic platform, sup
plemented by the letters of Messrs.
Lowndes and Graham and the man
ner IN which the campaign has been
managed up to date, all combine to
reassure those Democrats who have
determined to carry the fight against
German and Rasin outside of party
lines.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1895-09-05

Mr.. John E. Hurst, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of
Maryland, has barred himself from
all criticism of the conduct of those
Democrats who propose to bolt his
nomination by the course he out
lined for himself in the campaign
of 1888. In an interview that year
he declared that he and an organi-
cation of good Democrats, of which
he was then president, would bolt
if candidates satisfactory to them
were not nominated. "In such an
emergency we would not hesitate to
vote for Republicans" were their
own words. Now, twelve years
later, Mr.. Hurst himself is an
unsatisfactory candidate and his
Democratic opponents propose to
administer to him dose of his own
medicine. And it is that staunch
Democrat, Ex-Governor Whyte,
who resurrects this statement with
which to plague Mr.. Hurst, and
who says: "Such was Mr.. Hurst's
view OF Democratic duty in 1888.

The Old National Highway.

In recent letter to the Oakland
REPUBLICAN Mr.. Charles Brown
calls attention to the condition of
that portion of the old national
turnpike road lying in Garrett and
Allegany counties. The road was
built by the federal government
from Cumberland westward before
the days of railroads, and was main
tanned as free road, the govern
ment making all repairs. Since
that care was withdrawn the portion
of the road lying in Maryland has
been neglected, and Mr.. Brown
says it is fast going TO ruin. He
calls especial attention to the bridge
that spans the Casselman creek IN
Garrett county. This is a fine
bridge, being an arch, having the
longest single span of any bridge on
the road from Baltimore to st.
Louis. 1t is rapidly falling into
state of dilapidation. The long and
missive wing walls have nearly dis
appeared, and the magnificent arch
is threatened with destruction.
1t is not encouraging to those who
are moving for good public roads
that splendid road, probably the
best made road of any considerable
length in the United States, is al
lowed by Maryland county to 60
to ruin for lack of little repair
and care, when is has been in effect
given to it free of cost. Mr.. Brown
talks about an appeal to congress
and to the state, and these failing
for Garrett county to rely upon
itself. The last would be best. 1t
is entirely unlikely that the congress
will make any appropriation, and it
is not certain that the legislature
could constitutionally do so, even
if 1t has the disposition. The road
is in Garrett, and is most impor-
tant highway for the people of that
county, and they surely ought to
see to it that it goes not to ruin.
The portion of the old highway
lying east from Cumberland was
constructed by corporations, the
stock being principally held by the
old state banks and some by the
state of Maryland. Not long ago,
after freshet had damaged the road
and washed number of bridges
away,a long stretch Of road lying in
Washington county, between the
Conococheague and Sideling Hill
creeks, some 20 miles, was sur
rendered by the company owning it
to Washington county. That
county now maintains it, free of toll
as one of the public roads. Balti-
