Will They Do TIP

Of course, it is folly to deny the fact,
that if the railroads of the country
want to intimidate their employees,
they can readily do it. Lots of men
can be put on waiting time. The win
ter is approaching; lots of men can be
given work at this particular time.
The bosses can very plainly intimate
that if this man or that man cannot
look after the interest of the company
in this election, they must not expect
the company to look after them. Petit
tions can be sent out for the men to
sign, and many "poor devil" with a
house full of children will sign, give
up his manhood and independence,
sooner than face the long winter days
with no work and no bread. Will they
do IL? Will the people submit to such
tyrany? Will they complain if this
makes secret enemies all along the
line. Will they do it? Railroad men
have independence and many will
never submit to such tyranny.

Mr. Lee Makes Lots of Friends in
Frederick County.

MR.. Lee visited Knoxville, Peters
vile aud Jefferson on Friday last, and
addressed large audience of people in
Jefferson at night. Mr.. J. p. Biser
had the gentlemen in charge, and as
in other sections all who have met him
have been more than pleased by his
cordial manner. Mr.. Lee spent the
night with Mr.. John Ahalt, who drove
him to BurkIttsvile on Saturday,
then to Rohersville, and other points
in Washington County, reaching
BOonsboro' III time for the big meeting
on Saturday night. This week Mr..
Lee will visit friends in Washington
County. On Tuesday night Mr.. Lee
spoke in Mechanicstown and will adj
dress several meetings in the county
later in the campaign. If the other
counties in the district are as much
pleased with Mr.. Lee as Frederick
there should be no question about his
election. The friends he has made
here wish him every success and he
certainly deserves to win the fight.
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-10-23
Mr.. Lee in Washington County.

On Saturday night last, Mr.. Lee, the
gallant standard-bearer of Democracy,
made his appearance among the far
mers of Washington County. His first
meeting was in Boonsboro' and hear
ty reception was given him. His
speech was listened to with marked
attention and general satisfaction ex-
pressed at the able and forcible man
ner in which he handled the silver ques-
ton and discuss ed the needs and re-
quire ments Of the agricuturalistsa at the
present time Mr.. Lee assured the
people that if elected he would DE
found ready to advance the interests OF
the peop'e of Western Maryland ire
speclive of palty-he would be the rep
resentative of the people. His noml-
nation was unsought, he was Identified
with no clique or faction of his party
and was bold enough 10 act for the
good of the entire people in the dis
charge of his public duties Mr.. Lee
was presented to numbers of people at
the Hagerstown Fair and made the
same good impression that he made
whilst in Frederick County. We want
to see old Washington County put
her best foot foremost, for we are going
to try and give Lee a better vote in
Frederick than they will give in Wash
inglou. Now for the battle; the Bank
ers and Corporations will unite whilst
the farmers in this contest are apt to
do as they have done in former issues
where their interests were involved,
struggle along through the fight each
ore fighting his own way, and thereby
failing to accomplish the desired end.
No man need III dervalue the power of
the money power or the force of cOrpo-
rate influence. That millions will be
spent in this campaign there can be no
doubt. If the Workingmen, the far
III ers and laborers are strong enough
to resist the temptations set before
them, there can be DO question about
the result of the fight. Time and time
again have the great body of agricultu-
ralists scattered throughout the Union
failed to act together for their own good
and it is not surprising that many fear
now when the chance is given them,
that they will shirk and fail to win the
ba&le. Never has any man made such
a brilliant campaign as Bryan. Not
once have his enemies teen able to
pick a flaw in one of his mastery argu-
ments. If the people will only
stand by their gallant leader, what a
victory they would win.

Must Kiss and Make Up.

The rival Central Committees on the
Republican side of the house in this
county are making great efforts to har-
monte their difficulties. The Haffner
people demand recognition and will
not put up with much further delay in
the matter. Rumor says Mcdonald
will b. on hand at an early date and
will try and bring the boy s together.
1t is also claimed that assurances will
be demanded by the Heffner crowd
that Mr. Mcdonald shall make fair
division of the spoils. From the way
things now look these gentlemen
might as well save themselves all
trouble, as the people seem determined
to send Mr.. Lee to Congress. From
every section Mr.. Lee is gaining
friends, and he will make representa-
tive for all our people, Republicans and
Democrats alike. This is the man.
Keep your eye on Lee.

Are They Fearful of German?

If the Republicans, gold men and
the city press are so confident that
Maryland will give big majority for
Mckinley, why is it that nine or ten
columns in the once great Democratic
newspaper Of Baltimore, should be de-
voted to real abuse of Senator Cor
man. The speeches of the Senior Sen
ator of the State has called forth re-
plies from the ablest of his opponents,
including long editorials in the daily
press. Mr.. German has been greeted
by thousands of his fellow. citizens and
the greatest attention and respect was
shown him at all the big meetings he
has attended. Mr.. German stands
boldly by the actions of a Democratic
National Convention. No uncertain
sound has come from him as to where
he can be found. Unlike Governor
Hill, who gloried in claiming that he
was Democrat, Mr.. German, although
anxious for different platform and
different candidate, comes out boldly
for the support of The party and recog-
nIzes the right of the majority to rule
this country. Now, what is all this
scare about? Why do speakers and
journals devote so much time to Cor
man? Are they fearful of his standing
with the people, and if they are so sure
of Maryland and Mckinley, why all
this fear, why all this money, why
all these meetings if things are safe
for Mckinley? Let the people but do
their duty and they will prove that
abuse and money will not count when
the people are in earnest.

Old Allegany to the Front.

We trust the reports that Allegany
is not very active in this great contest
only exist in the fertile imagination of
our Republican friends. There are no
truer or better Democrats in the land
than those found in old Cumberland
and amid the mountains of that grand
county. AS for ourselves, we should
have been delighted to have seen that
worthy son of Cumberland, Ferdinand
Williams, honored by denomination,
for he made gallant fight and won
friends among all true Democrats, yet
when our party selected the worthy
son of old Montgomery, we no longer
thought of individual preferences, but
forthwith accepted the action of the
Oakland Convention as final and bind
ing upon us as loyal Democrats and
true supporters of the party. Allegany
can, in this contest, send us glad It'd
ings and give a mighty force to the
possibilities of success. Her brilliant
orators have already done good work,
yet they can do more, ..and they may
say the same of their friends in Fred
erick. Well, we will do more; our
hearts are in the right place and no
stone shall be left unturned to bring
out the full vote of our county. Mr..
Lee has been among our people and
we have given him the same hearty
welcome we accorded Ferdinand Will
Jams, when, in the tidal wave cam
paign, he was our gallant leader. So
we will only be too happy to join our
Mountain friends in aunited effort for
Bryan and Lee. We hope to hear
cheering news from old Allegany.

Democratic Meetings.

We call attention to the Demo-
cratic meetings to be held throughout
this county, and urge our people to see
that they are well attended. An effort
has been made to secure speakers from
distance, and they are thoroughly
posted on the silver question. 1t will
be an evening of pleasure and instruc-
ton to all who attend these meetings.
Let the Central Committee of each dis
trict call meetings of their committees
and make their plans by which the
people are notified, that able speak
ers will address them.
