Get Out Your Vote.

The Democratic Central Committees
of the county must bear in mind that
the duty of getting out the full Demo-
cratic vote of the county rests upon
them. 1: every district will look after
its own vote and see that no Demo-
crat stays at home on the day of cleo
ton old Frederick County should
give good account of herself. The
work will require both time and trou-
BILE. You will find that the Republi-
can workers will seek to induce Demo-
Gratis to stay away from the polls, so
look well after your people and see
that we have a full vote for Bryan
Sewall and Lee. This is the peoples
fight and nothing should keep them
from voting for their own interest on
the day of election.

The Baltimore "Sun" Denounced.

The Bryan and Sewall Campaign
Club of WOlfsvil e, Frederick County.
at recent meeting drew up the follow
ing resolutions, condemning the course
of the Baltimore Sun in this fight.
The club numbers about l25 members
and exerts powerful influence in that
section:
Whereas the publishers of the Balti-
more Sun have forwarded to each Off
Ger of this organization several copies
OF their paper filed with political cal
jimmy, denunciatory OF our platform
and candidates, we deem it our duty to
adopt the following resolutions:

for SO many years had been our politi-
cal Bible, and so justly deserved the

The Money Power.


1t is somewhat surprising that the
goio people In this contest recognize
their right to consolidate, whilst at the
same time they accuse Mr.. Bryan of
trying to array class against class and
delight in depouncing him and his
followers as anarchists. Surely this is
more than unfair. We find the banks
and corporations joining hands and
contributing the stockholders money to
AID the Republican corruption fund
yet they are unwilling that the farmer
the mechanic and the Iaborer shall
unite their forces in the same contest
Il It be fair for the banks to unite. WIN
should It be unfair for the farmer to do

Against the Ring.

The Philadelphia Enquirer is MAX
ing vigorous fight against the City
Combine, who have nominated all the
city officials, who, for years have been
identified with the corrupt City Ring,
which has controlled Philadelphia for
years past. The Enquirer calls on the
Mckinley Republicans to join hands
with them in defeating the Republican
local ticket, more especially the Sheriff,
whom they denounce as willing and
corrupt tool of the Ring. Local politics
In Philadelphia are very lively lust

A SPECIAL correspondent of the At
more than 200 Bryan meetings every
night. The audience at these meetings
range from 500 to 1000, yet not one
line appears concerning them in the
Mckinley press. These papers are con-
tinually making assertions that the
Democratic campaign managers have
abandoned Bryan; that Bryan is sick;
that there is dissension in the Demo-
cratic aud Populist ranks; that the
Democratic managers are without
funds; that they have millions and
millions of money wrested from the
mine owners; that the silver boom is
on the wane; that the labor vote is for
Mckinley; that Mckinley will carry
Illinois and other central western
States by incredible majOrties These
stories are only part of the plan of
the Mckinley managers to delude the
public outside of Chicago. With one
or two exceptions there is not soil
tary morning paper in Chicago which
is entitled to any credence on political
affairs. AS matter of fact, organized
labor is Overwhelmingly for Bryan;
business men, with the exception of
the large merchants and bankers, are
for Bryan; 10000 Republican voters in
Chicago are for Bryon; 10000 Populists
In Chicago are for Bryan, and four
fifths of the railroad men of Chicago
are for Bryan. The Republican man
ayers may make these men march in
Mckinley parades; they may make
them wear Mckinley buttons; they
may make them join Mckinley clubs;
they may prevent them from attend
ing free silver rallies, but they cannot
prevent them from voting"

Let Us Be Fair.

In the State of Maryland let us at
least have fair fight. No bull-dozing-
no tyranny. Every honest measure
can be resorted to in order to win votes.
Every employer has a right to do this
be he Democrat or Republican. But
in Maryland let us not feel that any
corporation will shamefuly threaten
their employees with Dismissal should
they fail to vote for this or that man.
This may do among the white slaves
of New England, but should not be
tried among the freemen of Maryland.

Lee Is the Man.

Hundreds of fair-minded Republi-
cans are more than delighted with Mr..
Lee, the Democratic nominee for Con-
gress in this district. Elect him and
he will serve the people. What can be
gained by electing Mr.. Mcdonald? He
will be Wellington's man or Motter's
man If you send him to Congress.
Lee is the man for the people.

The Hon. J. M. Devine, of Nebraska,
Secretary of the BiInetallic League, has
been travelling through Frederick
County with Mr.. Blair Lee, our candi-
date for Congress. Wherever he has
addressed the people his strong en-
couragements have had their effect.
He is one of the best posted men in this
country on the silver question and has
the happy faculty of being able to make
the issue clear to the people. We hope
to welcome him back to Frederick
County in the near future.

Got the Call.

DIR. Haffner, it is claimed, will show
the Republicans of Frederick County
who is going to run Mcdonald aud the
rest of the Republican machine. Sen
ator Wellington is going to speak in
Frederick at the solicitation of DIR.
Haffner. Now, what will the boys
have to say to this? Haffner says he
will show Motter thing or two be-
fore he gets through with him. Mot
ter simply laughs at this, and says he
has Mcdonald just where he wants
him aud cares nothing for Wellington.

North Carolina Safe For Bryan.

Judge Eckstein. who has been in
Frederick attending our big fair, says
that things are very lively in North
Carolina and that the State is safe for
Bryan. The State ticket and local
tickets are very much mixed and it
will be difficult to foreteIl the result.
The vote, he thinks, will be a fair,
square contest between Mckinley and
Bryan. The Palmer gold ticket will
not receive many votes.

Delay in Freight.

Considerable compliant is made about
the delay in sending freight from points
on the B. & o. Railroad to Washing
ton and Baltimore. Freight sent from
Knoxville should not be delayed any
considerable time, yet week often
passes in the transportation of freight to
Baltimore or Washington. This should
be looked after and the trouble rem
edied.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.J

Rockland, February "a. Michael Dug
gen Of ST. Johns, N. f., sailor, has just
had rather an unfortunate experience in
this city. Saturday night he went to
Laura J. Tracey's place on Sea street,
and had several drinks. He rendered
the waitress s5 bill, but did not receive
sufficient change. He objected when,
according to his story, the mistress Of
the house appeared with bro~m in one
hand and followed by Fred Savage, who
was armed with an axe, Mrs. Tracey
broke the broom handle over his head
and Savage was in the act of hitting him
with the axe when Edward Mahoney, a
neighbor, came in and interfered. Last
night Duggan went back after satisfao-
tion and received even worse beating
his head being fearfully cut by tin
dish, welded, he alleges, by Mrs. Tracey.
The night police found him in the sta
tion office later a pitiful object, covered
from head to foot with blood. Duggan
had no witnesses for the second affair,
but swore out warrant against his as.
sailants of Saturday. They were tried
this afternoon and found guilty. Mrs.
Tracey was heavily fined as was Savage
The former paid, but the latter refused,
and was committed to jai.

ne Mt bankers.
The financial committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce paid respects to Score

committee his views on the soundness
of the oountry's finances. He said he
did not believe there was any possibility
within the near future of the establish

MORE STRINGENT MEASURES
To Be Adopted Toward American Fisher
men By the Canadians.

Gloucester, Mass, February 24.-It is
claimed by Canadian officials that Anne
rioan fishing vessels have abused their
privileges under the license to purchase
supplies for shipment and tranship
cargo. The Canadian minister of marine
and fisheries charges that few Ameri-
can fishing vessels take out fishing licen-
ses. purchase bait and supplies for the
feet and distribute them among the
United States fishing fleet when in open
water. Accordingly. he says, the Do
minion government h as decided to insert
in this years. licenses clause which says
license shall be forfeited if any privi-
leges granted there under are sold or
transferred TO vessels not holding a
license. In view Of this action the own
ers of vessels will instruct the shippers
not to violate any privileges which may
be granted them the coming season.
