THE ELECTIONS.

In Maryland the republican State ticket
carries the State by about 1928. The
legislature is claimed to be republican on
Joint ballot and will elect republican
Senator i'll Gibson's place. They could
not worse it if they should try.
Alcaeus Hooper, the republican candi-
date for mayor of Baltimore, is elected by
plurality of 1860 over the democratic
vote.
Kentucky elects Bradley, the republi-
can Governor, by 5000, it is claimed, and
the democrats have probably lost the leg
islature OH joint ballot This is doubtful
In Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, New York, Nebraska and
Iowa the democrats are showed under
routed.
The Senate of the United States will no
longer be disgraced by Brice.
The following is the best summing up
of the vote in Cecil county we can pro-
cure Next week we will give the official
table of the county vote:
Complete unofficial returns from all TIE
nine districts in Cecil county show that
Hurst, for Governor has carried the
county by two plurality, and that Croth-
ers, for Encouragement, has lost it by
1873. The republicans succeeded in elect
ing solid delegation to the Legislature
by small majority. The returns show
that Evans, democrat, has been elected
States attorney over Mccullough, repub-
lican, by AZ majority. Drennen, demo-
crat, has been elected county treasurer
over Christie, republican, by majority of
So. Mackey, democrat, for sheriff, led
the ticket, and is returned elected over
Gallaher, republican, 427 majority. The
democrats also elect the judges of the
Orphans Court, county surveyor, and
Dexter NJ. Lee, county commissioner for
short term, over John J. Williams. The
vote between VIM. J. Clark, republican,
ard ]. Polk Steele, for long term county
commissioner, is very close and may take
the official count to finally determine it,
but the chances are that Clark has been
elected by from 10 to rs majority.

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and b. constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurahle
Science has proven catarrh to be a con-
stitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure manufactured by F. J. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. They
offer one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure Send for circulars and

The silver dollar is as large silver coin
as is needed for any use, and its size and
weight will never be made larger, because
that Is not necessary. Why such coin
is deprecated and denounced as "unsound
money" when two half dollars and four
quarters or ten dimes are ''sound money!"
though they are eight per cent lighter in
pure metal than the silver dollar, is a
question that needs some rational answer.
1t is easily given and cannot be mistaken.
The answer is that our silver dollars being
full legal tender for all sums, are the
competitors of gold and of paper money
in the payment of debts.-SENAToR
MORGAN, in arena.

Opposed to the Agricultural Fair
Horse Racing.

Cecil Farmers Club passed at pre-
vious meeting of the Club the following
resolution and reiterated the same at their
meeting held January 10th, 1895:
Resolcfd, That the present method of condnct-
ing fairs or shows is not in accord with our views
is not calculated to subserve the true interests OF
the farming community, and that Us interested
parties, we enter our protest against the practice
of instituting and encouraging the varied species
of gaming that are openly conducted on the
grounds, that we believe it to be an undenable
fact that gambling is one of the chief sins of the
age, and that instead of allowing it to be fostered
and encouraged in the name of agriculture, we As
representative men should publicly express our
views, and we further believe that our Legisla-
ture made grave error in giving it the sanction
of law. And we ask our representatives who are
to assemble at Annapolis next winter to have the
act legalizing pool selling repealed, at least as
applicable to this county, and failing in that to
have the support given the Fair from the State
treasury withdrawn, and if those fail of accom-
plishment, we, in the name Of the Cecil Farmers
Club, ask the managers of the Fair to have the
word agricultural" erased from the catalogues.
ReS0l0ed, That Cecil Grange, No. 5,
Patrons of Husbandry, most cordially
endorse the above Resolution of Cecil
Farmers Club, and thank the Club for
the noble stand it has taken against the
corrupting practice of the aforesaid Fair,
and ask all moral aud Christian people to
enter their protest against the system OF
horse racing, pool selling and other
immoral and unlawful devices resorted to,
to sustain an institution that possesses
little in common with agriculture; and we
also invite Elkton Grange to join us in
denounciug the methods resorted to by
the managers of said annual so-called
Agricultural Fairs held at Elkton.
ReSoited, That the appropriation from
the State treasury to the support of the
Fair should be appropriated for the hold
ing of Farmers Institutes i'll this county
by the next Legislature, and the mem
beers of Cecil Grange, No. ), invite Elk
ton Grange, the Cecil Farmers Club,
and all farmers and other citizens of the
county to join us in urging the above
action by the next Legislature.
/ Res0ic'cd, That the Secretary of this
Grange be ordered to send a copy ofthese
resolutions to the President of the Cecil
Farmers Club and the Secretary OF
A.. Elktou Grange.

"Down on Both Parties"

1t is common saying that THE MID
LAND JOURNAL is clown" on both old
parties. 1t is not what the MIDLAND
JOURNAL may be "down on" but wheth-
er what it says of them is true. Ifnot let
us know and we'll correct it. No one has
ever pointed out any charge made against
old parties by the MIDLAND JOURNAL and
attempted to deny it. If any of you think
you can refute said charges TRY it on"

needed is evidenced by the
fact that on Monday last the
receipts were nearly 5000
bales more than at the same
time last year, and on that
day we're 1000 bales IN ex-
cess of the same day in Octo-
Der 1894. To this cause is
attributable the demorali-
zation in the price of cotton
during the present week
which might have been aver
ted had the advice of Presi-
dent Lane been followed.
But if the crop of the present
year does not exceed z, 900, 00C

price will only be temporary.

The Coon Hunt.
For the BULLET1N1

For the Bulletin
Twenty-seven Bolivar men with
fourteen yelping hounds
Went forth Monday night to range
the hunting grounds.
The men, no doubt, expected each
a coon,
While the doggies each expected
quite boon.
The men were armed, as such
crowds always are,
And seated in conveyances for
they had to go so far)
To catch the biggest ANIMALS,
And have the ''mostest fun"
They had to drive three miles or
more,
And then on foot to run.
For the doggies wouldn't wait for
them,
When they smelt the cooney's track,
And as twas through the bushes,
They had to leave their hacks.
The yelping dogs they ran with
yelling men behind,
Till after running miles and miles,
a coon-tree they did find.
Some set to work with wedge and
saw to fell the Wondrous tree,
While others sat and Rugged their
pups to keep them from it free,
For if allowed to run, you know,
the doggies might get smashed
When the trunk with all its branch
es turned over, creaked and
crashed.
When down it came,
Now for the fun, the yelping hounds
were freed,
That they might fight with all
those coons,
Which they so bravely freed.
The men they twisted shoo-d, and
poked until out came just one.
The fourteen dogs soon killed him
out,
And the men had had their fun.
They built them up huge log fire,
And sat them round about,
Discussed the one coon escaped,
And wished they'd not gone out.
Till ''we sma' hours" had passed
away and gotten big again,
Then each man from his pocket
drew food for the inner man.
They whitfield each fork of wood,
And stuck his meat thereon;
And cooked and ate all their store,
Till they left doggies none.
Then returning to their vehicle,
They drove for all their lives,
Till reaching home they bawled,
And knocked to wake their Angel
wives. >***

There is no medicine so often
needed in every home and so admir-
ably adapted to the purposes for
which it is intended, as Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. Hardly week
passes but some member of the
family has need of it. A toothache
or headache may be cured by it..
A touch of neuralgia or rheumatism
quieted. The severe pain of a
burn or scald promptly relieved and
the sore healed in much less time
than when medicine has to be sent
for. A strain may be promptly
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which insures a cure in about one
third of the time otherwise requir-
ed. Cuts and bruises should re-
ceive immediate treatment before
the parts become swollen, which
can only be done when Pain Balm
is kept at hand. A sore throat
may be cured before it becomes Sc
rious. A troublesome corn may be
removed by applying 1t twice day
for a week or two. A lame back
may be cured and several days of
valuable time saved or a pain in
the side or chest relieved without
paying a doctors bill. Procure so
cent bottle at once and you will
never regret it. For sale by B.

ALTHOUGH in the last gu

went overwhelmingly repub-
lican, it now seems that the
prospects of a democratic vic
tory under the leadership of
Ex-Gov. Campbell are grow
ing brighter. In the selec-
ton of Ex-Gov. Campbell as
the gubernatorial candidate,
the democracy of the Buckeye
State acted wisely. If elected
it would be a personal as well
as a party victory and would
cause him to be a formidable
candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination in 1896.

the business activity in the
South surpasses that of any
other section of the country.
In progressiveness the South
is no longer a laggard. 1t is
now ON rising ground with
prospects of soon becoming
the center Of attraction for
agriculturalists as we'll as
manufacturers. Within the
last two years thousands of
acres have been sold to nor

From southern furnaces, iron
is now shipped to the shores
