nestle Sentiment.

Four years ago, on the occasion OF
the marriage OF john Temple Graves,
Il distinguished orator of the South
and in acknowledgement OF the receipt
of an invitation To he present at the
ceremony, Mr.. Cleveland, our worthy
President, wrote the following touching
and eloquent letter:
No SIG NddjsOa uueaue, NeW York,

Graves, Esq, Rome, Ga.-My Dear
Mr. Graves: We received the card OF

fervent desire that you and yours bride
may enter upon and eujoy the same
felicity which has made our married
life tone grand sweet song" Very
truly your friend,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Cleveland, Sound Money, The
Democratic Tariff, and Fair
Assessment, and a United
Party Will Win the
State.

Let the Democrats of Maryland re-
solve to go into the present contest
united and determined to win the
fight. Let true and loyal Democrat
be selected as our standard-bearer
Let our State Convention heartily en-
dorse our National leader Grover
Cleveland, and his clean administra-
ton. Let us boldly declare for honest
III oney and pledge ourselves to MAIN
tain the credit of our nation. Let us
demand a fair assessment. Let Us en-
dorse our Democratic tariff bill, which
has started thousands of mills and fac
tories and increased the wages of half
a million of honest laborers and
brought relief to the farmer. Then
let Us stop this everlasting fault-find-
ing with public leaders who we may
not have agreed with on great national
questions. Do this and we will sweep
the State.

THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF.
Laborers Employed and Wages
Increased-What Bill Has
Brought About Such
Results?

If the present Tariff Bill is giving
such universal satisfaction, it should
make some men, as well rs some of our
journalistic friends stop and ask the
question, what bill is this that is bring
ing about such benefits to the great
body of labOrers all over the country?
Is it the bill that was framed 10y Mr..
Wilson? No, il seems not, for that bill
was changed in the Senate and a con-
ference of members of the House and
Senate was held and very different
bill agreed upon and reported back to
the House and Senate a. compromise,
and passed the Senate and House.
That compromise bill was repudiated
10y the press of the country, and many
men denounced certain Senators for
making any changes. Now comes this
wonderful revolution in the business of
the country. Thousands of laborer- are
now in constant employment, wages
have been increased, manufacturers are
satisfied, new furnace, and factories are
being built all over the country, and
in the general prosperity the farmer is
delighted nj the increase i'm price of all
his products. Wheat goes up with this
new Democratic tariff bill and puts
thousands of dollars int the pockets of
the farmers. What bill has done all
this? What bill has brought about
this opening Of mills, this increase of
wages Was it the origin Il Wilson bill
or was it the compromise oil passed
by Democratic Senate and a Demo-
cratic House? jds,icr demands that
We claim this rs our Democratic tariff
bill; passed aftcra bitter contest; passed
after some disagrecmcnts among lead
ers of the party, but what tariff bill
ever passed without such disagree
meuts and without dcnunciations of
party leaders? The question now be-
fore Us is whether our present Demo-
cratic tariff is benefit To the people of
the country and if it has worked any
hardship to any particular class of our
citizens. Capital is satisfied labor is
employed and wages increased. This
is a bill on which we can 80 before the
country, and ifthis everlasting personal
fighting is stopped, carry the party
to victory in County, State and Nation.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1895-07-19

WHY should any true Democrat hes
itate to endorse the Democratic Nat
ional administration, or our State adj
ministration? The Democratic tariff
bill now bringing such prosperity to the
country, is the bill passed by the SEN
ate and Democratic House. Many
men to-day as in the past are trying
hard to trade on Cleveland's well
known popularity, and like the clap
strap orator, who mention his name to
secure applause, believe by yelling
Cleveland now, their desertions to the
party will be forgotten, and their I'M
Willingness to stand by party nomina-
tions overlooked. All true Democrats
endorse our National administration,
but take no stock in the villification
of party leaders.

Our Primary Meetings.

The Democratic primary meetings
for thi, county to select delegates to the
County Convention. which will send
delegates to the State Convention in
Baltimore, will he held in this county
tomorrow. We do not hesitate to con
denim the p actice pursued in many
counties of entering into bitter partizan
fights, when large sums of money are
expended, simply that some particular
leader may receive temporary Assem-
dency. This as a rule, is the result of
the Crawford system, which at one
time left its blight upon the party in
this county. We trust those true
Democrats who are ready to yield to
the voice of the majority will attend
our primary meetings1Of course,
there are men who attend such meet
ings, and if things do not suit them
they claim the privilege of voting as
they please and refuse to be bound by
any rules or regulations by which
they will submit To the voice of
the majority of their fellow citizens.
We are, and have been prepared TO give
the greatest latitude to even men who
are known to b. chronic kickers. but if
a fair and honorable chance is given
them and they are defeated, they then
refuse to carry out the time-honored
principles of their party. We would
be willing to make any test with them,
go into any fight with them for indi-
viduals, or against individuals, if they
would be manly enough to abide by the
decision Of the people, That the ma
.iority should rule, no man can aues-
ton, and if the majority declares for
any individual, after fair and square
fight, what true Democrat should fall
ter in his duty to his party and his du.
~ 10 himself as a man of honor? Re-
verse the situation, put the kickers in
the lead, let them show their popular
ity by inducing the Democracy to
make nominations agreeable to their
individual ideas, and then let the reg
ulars turn kickers and refuse to SUP
port men fairly nominated and such
a howl of denunciation would 90 up
that 1t would startle you. BE fair, be
just, and there never will be any
trouble about nominees. Let Demo.
Gratis who are true to their party turn
out and act n they have always done.

Is Lying Good Politics?

The Springfield RcDWicdn asks this
question, and then answers as follows:
Major } NJ. Carson, the veteran
Washington spondent of the Phil
adelpnla LcIycr, fifty aud accurately
describes the sort OF attacks on the
management of the national finances
that the New York TriJMno and other
Republican organs are constantly max
lug a. 'nIisculevious, dishonest and
unpatriOtic,' aud as not only unfair
but deliberate Misrepresentation of the
facts. Having made this Indictment
against the Tribune, which has been
the worst and most persistent offender
In this regard, Carson goes on To pile
up an overwhelming mass of convluc-
ing evidence which proves beyond
doub. that ignorance OF the facts can-
not account for the stories of treas
ury decentralization with which
these newspapers have deceived their
readers. He shows that all the facts in
relation To the income and eXpendi-
lures of the treasury are accessible to
any one who cares to look for them,
that they are so plainly set forth that
no one can miss them who is not de-
teimlned to do so, and that the only
way III winch the allegation that the
treasury statement for June was man
lpulated III order to make it show a
surplus for that month can be sustain
Ell Is 10y "a deliberate unfair comparison
OF the expenditures of the first six DAYS
OF July with those of the last six DAYS
OF June. The plain English of Carson's
indictment OF the Tribune and its fell
low-oifenders is that they have delb-
erately lied in order to make partisan
point against the administration-and
he proves his indictment.
Major Carson goes farther than to
convict these organs of dishonesty and
uhpatrlotlc misrepresentation of facts;
he shows that. so far from being open
to attacks for faulty handling of its af-
ialrs, the administration of the treas
ury has been unusually successful I'M
der circumstances of much more than
usual difficulty. He puts the blame
!or the unfortunate condition of things
which exists where it belongs, upon
Congress, which appropriated money
recklessly and neglected to provide the
income to meet these appropriations.
Every body likes fair fighting, and no
one objects to open and. candid crti-
clsn of amy administrative officer of
the government or of the administra-
ton OF his department. 1t is not only
the privilege but the duty of the news
papers representing the opposition par
ty to make such criticisms, and if thew
can find a point Of attack that is open
and legitimate they are justified in
making the most OF it. Blunders and
administrative shortcomings are fair
targets always, aud the harder thew
are hit the better, but falsehood and
SANDER never have been regarded with
anything but contempt by the sober
minded men of the United States.

THERE are more Republican candi-
dates in the field for office this fall
than you can shake a stick at. Some
of these have done good service for their
party and others have seldom
been heard of politically. Pos
sibly it is because an easy victory is
anticipated and their spiritsa are buoved
up with the thought of last falls con-
quest 1t was an easy thing, with half
the Democrats resting ON their arms.
But the same issues are not at stake

stood at that time) and with a united
party at the guns, the enemy won't
get far enough to make it interesting.

The New York World publishes the
melancholy fact that his Royal High
ness, the Prince of Wales. will not visit
the United States this year. Can he
be afraid that the Jingoes will murder
him? queries the Rochester Hcrald.
No, that is not the reason. The
Prince of Wales will probably never
visit America, and just such papers as
the New York World prevent him
from doing so. With their columns of
the most offensive personalities, that
pry into man or woman's most sacred
and private affairs, the New York
journals are more dreaded by high per-
sonages than all the dynamite bombs
made by all the Nihilists in the world.
Albert Edward may not be all he
ought to be as far as morals are con-
cerned, but he is patrcian by birth
and instinct and naturally objects to
the undignilied manner in which his
name and actions would be handled by
the metropolitan papers. 1t would
hardly be pleasant for the Prince TO see
the first page of the World ornament
ed with two scare heads, one announc-
ing that he has taken his bath or had
an attack of cohc after dinner and the
other stating that an Fast side kitchen
maid has been murdered by her lover
with full and salacious details of the Ii
ason.

REV. MADISON c. PETERS, of New

Sunday liquor law is bit the regul ton
of foreigners. Mr.. Peters is not wrong
IN his assertion. as the advocates of
Sunday rum selling, not only in New

are at least 80 per cent foreigners; this
is proved by looking over the daily pa
pers and seeing the names of those who

What Not To Do and Other
Hints of Value.
prepared Weekly, Tor the Citizen,

In writing on the treatment of cuts
and wounds, forgot to tell what you
should not use.
Never take the old-tme remedies in
treating cuts, etc, such as putting a
piece of chewed tobacco or cobwebs
over or in the wound. Tobacco and
cobwebs often contain dirt, which, when
placed over or in the cut or wound, gets
into it and sets up supperation, or in
other words, causes matter to come
from the wound. If the person will
try and use the method previously de-
scrihed he will get Better results and
will also save the doctor a great deal of
trouble.
