HE few columns of reading mat
ter in the Mountain Democrat last
week were almost entirely devoted to
personal abuse of the editor of THE
REPUBLICAN, but abuse coming
from such a source is an honor and
don't hurt bit.
To make answer to the vain i'm
agination of the editor of the Demo-
cr0t and his petty associate would
be to lower ourself to their level,
which is an utter impossibllity for
one who has the least sense of pride
and self-respect left in his body.
Our course through life has always
been to hold our head upon a level
with the people and not get down
and allow the people to use us as a
foot-stool. Can the editor of the
Democrat or his associate say as
much?
The REPUBLICAN still contends
and can prove to the satisfaction of
the Democrat or any one else by the
written statement of the board of
trustees Of Loeb Lynn Heights
school that the Democrat did lie and
misrepresent the facts in the article
it published week prior to the cleo
ton on the "mixed school" at the
above place,
If the article in the Democrat on
the "mixed school" at Loeb Lynn
was written by the editor of the
Democrat it was the first news item
written by that parsonage in num-
Der of weeks. We leave our read
ers to draw their own differences.
AS to the assistance the Democrat
receives from its associate editor we
have not word to say. This is a
free country and all have the privi-
lege of conducting their business
in manner suitable to their own
tastes. We have no associates in our
business, for the simple reason that
we do not need any. We have am
pie time on our hands to do our own
writing and do it. We submit our
writings to no one for their approval
or disapproyal. We are wholly re-
sponsible for everything appearing
in our columns and we do not throt-
tie ANYTHING that will make a news
item or an editorial.

Is Ii Dissolution,

The astonishing political land
slide of November 5, in almost every
state where elections were held, has
given rise to serious discussion
among public men as to whether
the Democratic party is not APP
preaching dissolution. The back
bone of the Democracy as a national
party has been the solid south.
But that is now broken, and with
out the south to rely on the Dem
ocracy has no hope of carrying the
country.
The new south is for protection
and against the free trade theory
which was one of the corner stones
of the the late confederacy. 1t

How to ReorganIze.

The following article was ten
dered the editor of the Mountain
Democrat for publication but it was
refused space in the columns of that
journal. The reason given for it's
refusal was that "It was not accor-
ding to the politics" of that august
and puffed-up parsonage who has it
in mind that he controls the des-
TIMES of all parties and can make
and unmake public OPINION in
Garrett county.
To the editor of the Democrat.
The Democratic party in Mary
land, and ESPECIALLY in Garrett
county, has been reduced to a hope
less minority by the arrogance and
unjust methods of the selfish sub
bosses of the German machine, who
have driven some of the best mate
rial out of the party and openly
boosted that no aspirant for Federal
or State appointment need apply
without first obtaining the endorse
meEt of these odious bosses who
have been so overwhelmingly repu-
dated by the votes of the people.
Thousands of Independent DEM
ocrats (and they are the salt of the
earth) voted the Repu blican State
ticket for the same reasons that
they would drench sick horse
with a noxious dose. The drastic
dose has made the "sick horse"
too weak for present use-he must
be turned out to grass until he
recuperates, and in the meantime
no ex-boss should be allowed to
prescribe remedies for him. / re-
greet to notice in the Baltimore
NearS that one of those repudiated
chooses" has already jumped into
the arena and assumed to advise
the Democrats how to reorganize
their party in Garrett county.
Ever since the formation Of Gar
rett county the political bosses
have been its curse. They are
responsible for dividing Allegany
county; for leaving the boundary
line in such mux that nearly one
third Of the coal and timber lands
cannot be assessed; for arraying

About Advertising.

AS competition is the spice OF
trade so is publicity the life of trade.
The enterprising business man who
has something especially good to
sell, tells the public about it. 1t is
not necessary that he should be a
literary or advertising genius to
make his advertisement success
An advertisement is successful and
is always successful if it tells some
thing worth telling in a plain,
straightforward satisfactory way.
If what it tells is not worth telling
or it is told in such a manner that
people miss the important point,
the advertisement is failure, and
will remain so for all time. AS a
matter of fact, however, business
mon are learning more about news
paper advertising every day. More
advertisements are being written
than ever before, and they are of
far higher average character. The
art of publicity is becoming better
understood with the result that the
advertising columns of newspapers
and periodicals to-day are frequently
as fresh and interesting as any other
column or columns. That is be-
cause the advertisements tell facts
that are worth telling, and tell them
so that every one can understand
them.

imagination, and there is nowhere
much doubt about that ogro mate
rializlng before next spring. That
constant disturbing possibility
stands as fixed obstacle to apy
really inspiring recovery of conf
dence. Could it be removed, the
effect would be worth ten points
added value to the entire stock list.
But so long as this remains an open
and constantly recurring danger,
it seems hopeless to look for any
really strong and well sustained eff
fort to bring up the price of invest
ments to the standard established
by the improvement in their intrin-
SIC condition. Any general and
sustained rise in prices needs the
cooperation of men of ample means
and cautious judgment; and such
men are very apt to decline large
and long commitments when the
prospect is not reasonably clear of
clouds.
While therefore the general in
dustrial and commercial conditions
are favorable to the value of stocks
and are likely to afford a good sub
stratum of confidence to the mar
ket, 1t will be prudent to avoid ex-
pecting too much from these
announcements. The proper tenn
permanent for the moment is hope
fulness, but not extravagant
expectations. The market is any,
thing but a safe one for selling;
but buying should be moderate by
satisfaction with quick turns and
moderate profits.

one side of Garrett county against
the other by refusing to allow the
voters to locate the county seat in
their own way; for preventing the
county commissioners and their
agent from obtaining the necessary
data to assess upwards Of two mill
ion dollars worth of omitted lands;
for turning down men who could
have held Garrett county in the
Democratic column, until now they
are confronted by a Republican
majority of six hundred.
What is the use of recognizing
the party unless you can muster
enough votes to elect your candi-
dates? In order to do that you
must reclaim all the independent
Democrats who have been driven
out Of the party by the bosses, as
well as merit the support of indie
pendent Republicans. Can this
object ever be accomplished under
the dictation and leadership of the
repudiated bosses? No, every
school boy in the county will say
20! Garrett as the youngest county
in the State should stand back with
becoming modesty until Baltimore
City and the older counties take
the lead IN the mater of reorgani-
cation, and then be careful to select
as their delegates men who are
above the suspicion of "Gorman-
ISM" Respectfully yours,

WE TAKE commendable pride in
the fact that THE REPUBLICAN did
help swell the majority in Gar
rett county this fall. We admit
that perhaps few Republicans do
not like us or the manner in which
our business is conducted, but that
is an affair of our own and it would
show good breeding if other people,
the Democrat in particular, would
take their fingers out of an affair
that is purely personal and does not
concern it. However, We nave the
satisfaction of having done our duty
to the Republican party and the
people, which is more than the
Democrat can truthfully assert.

ON MONDAY the editor of the
Democrat was rendered an article
written by Mr.. Ii. p. Tasker on the
reconstruction of the Democratic
party in Maryland and which article
appears in the THE REPUBLICAN to-
day. The Democrat, as person,
in refusing the article remarked that
the structures contained in it
did not suit the politics of the
Democrat, which leads US to ask what
kind of politics is best suited to that
learned and highly self-lauded per-
son, or does he intend to start new
party upon the lines OF the Far
mers' Alliance?

A Visit to the Hermit.

Monday afternoon the editor &C.
companied three or four gentlemen
to the home Qf such it may be call
ed) of Upton Bruce. who is known
throughout this section of the
county as the "Hermit of the ALE.
ghenIes.
The mission was first to deliver a
box of clothing, groceries, ETC., sent
him by daughter who resides in
Washington, and secondly it was a
mission of curiosity on the part of
those making up the party to &C
quaint themselves with the mode of
life of a hermit.
A drive of two miles over the
West Union road brought the party
within sight of the habitation Of
the hermit. The horses were then
turned into a field and through a
clump Of scrub oaks which brought
us to the door. The only signs
about the place to lead a person to
believe that anyone lived there, was
the remains of wood pile in front
of the door with an ak lying near.
A knock at the door was quickly
answered from within by "who
comes there?" Upon assuring the
hermit that we were friends he
opened the door after a wait OF a
few moments. When the door
swung open upon its creaking him
ges there doomed before the party an
old man bent with age, of massive
form, with white whiskers around
and under the chm. His matted
white hair hung down over his
shoulders and was held out of his
eyes by handkerchief tightly tied
around his head. His wearing APP
pearel consisted of nothing but a
cheap cotton shirt as black as night
on account of the dirt, a pair of
pantaloons without a button on
them which were held up by piece
of rope thrown over one shoulder.
His feet were encased in rags.
Thus the old hermit stood and in
Yited the party inside. A glance
about the one room in the house was
enough. In one corner of the shanty
stood the semblance of a bed upon
which was piled all manner of
things. In another corner was a
cook stove and over at the foot of
the bed was a small stand. Dirt
aud filth covered the floor to a
depth Of six inches. The party
did not tarry long inside. After
seeing that the hermit opened the
box sent him and delivering him a
bundle of papers they departed,
The hermit has lived within two
miles of Oakland for thirty years
and in all that time he has been to
town but two or three times.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

Moses p. Handy Thinks Mr.. Lowndes
VIII be Strong Candidate.
From the New York Sunday Mail.
The apothesls of Bradley is one
of the most interesting sequels of
the late campaign. Of course it is
not necessary now to say what
Bradley. There is only one Brad
ley-Bradley, of Kentucky.
No preslden tial ticket seems to be
complete without him. Reed and
Bradley, Allison and Bradley, Har-
rison and Bradley, Mckinley and
Bradley, Morton and Bradley. All
sound equally well, perhaps to most
people, but not to Bradley. He
does not like being coupled with
Harrison. Thereby hangs tale.
Bradley was the most prominent
publican in Kentucky before to-
day, and he was jusC as able, just
as eloquent, just as plucky and
just as popular during the presi-
dency of Gen. Harrison. He
thought he was entitled to some
recognition from the admlnistra
ton, and so he was. But you know
Brother Harrlson's way. Bradley
waited and waited, trotting to and
from Washington and fed with fine
words and unbuttered parsnips
until at last the mission to Korea
was offered him with as grand an
air as if it had been the mission to
England. Their upon Bradley
cursed and quit; and that is why
Bradley is not inclined to run on
the same ticket with Harrison. |
am given to understand that he
would prefer Mckinley as a run
ming mate; but he is on good terms
with Reed and Allison, ard their
lieutenants are paying him good
deal of pointed attention.
The vice presidency is no sure
thing for MIR. Bradley however, par
ticularly if he yields to the tempta-
ton to play for first place, and
thereby antagonize people who would
be otherwise friendly to him. Lown-
des, of Maryland, has strong points
some even stronger than Bradley's.
He has prestige of victory quite as
good, is sure of holding his State
and can show financial backing
which would be captivating to the
campaign managers. They are
talking, too, of my friend, Gen.
McAlpin, of New York, as a good
man for the place, if the presiden-
tial nomination should go West,
Brother Clarkson, they say, has
taken the general up to high place
and shown him lots of good that
might be his If Allison should by
chance be the nominee.
