1t is well enough for honorable
men to pose ms critics of political par
ties, but a man who has sold his vote
Tor sl5, and who openly declared him
self a Prohibitionist, a Democrat and a
Republican within the space of twelve
months has no rights in the premises
We believe this notice will be sufficient
for the party in question not TO monkey
with a bpZz-saw.
Everybody has heard of Bob In
gersoll, the prince of infidels. Well, he
is going TO stump Illinois for Mckinley
and Hobart. II is fit that IngersolI
should support the gold-bugs. He is
the greatest enemy of Christ and all
that Christians stand for. He would
not only destroy our hope of future
life but destroy our hope of national
prosperity. Herr Most, the prince OF
Anarchists, is also for Mckinley.

The Republican Campaign was
opened in Worcester county last Sat
urday. The candidate for Congress,
DIR. Barber, assisted by Mr.. Bradley
of Caroline county, addressed two good
audiences one at Berlin in the after
noon and the other in Court House
here at night The latter was largely
composed of colored people. The
speakers produced no arguments for
single gold standard, but dealt in
vague and theoretical generalities.
The city council has purchased Of
Mr. c. W. Farrow the lot in front of
the old Central Hotel, on which the
council recently put up number of
horse racks. The property was pur-
chased for the purpose of locating the
pumping station thereon, and is eligibly
located for the purpose, except that it
may be considered too near the centre
or business portion OF the town. The
council now own property tor both the
tank and pumping station and we can
see no reason why the work on water
works should not be commenced at
once.
News of the death Of Ruric II.
Adams at Crisfeld Sunday night, was
received in Snow Hill Monday. The
conduct of Mr.. Adams was marked by
uniform courtesy and kindness while
purser OF the steamer Pocomoke. He
was one of the most popular officers Of
the steamboat Company, and when he
was compelled TO resign his position on
account OF the condition of his health
it was a source of regret to all who
knew him, and especially TO his brother
to whom he had much endeared
himself. He had many friends in
Snow Hill who learned of his death
with much sorrow.
john Gordy, the murderer of
Lizzie Timmons, both colored, who
has been in Jail since last April was
taken to Salisbury on Monday for his
trial, which it was expected would
come up this week. Jailor Mock took
the prisoner TO Wicomico and deliver
ell him in safety to the warden of the
county jail. The trial has been set
Tor next week. 1t will probably last
several days, but the MESSENGER will
endeavor TO secure the verdict before
another issue. The murder as our
readers all know was brutal aft air,
but the evidence is of 4 circumstantial
nature upon which it is difficult TO
convict OF murder in the first degree
