MR.. LEES TOUR.
A Few Passing Incidents of his
Journey Through the County.

At Motter's Station, very warm
geeting was extended to Mr.. Lee and
his party by the hospitable people of
that place. On every side there is a
display of interest shown that can but
inspire him with confidence. At Mt.
st. Mary's College the students and
faculty welcomed the party and gath
cred on the large campus to receive
them. Mr.. Lee made a brief speech
and his remarks were greeted with
class yells and "tigers" until the noun
tain echoes grew weary of the merry
din and the lusty young lungs and
Threats were tired and husky. The
silver question is widely discussed in
that section aud has many ardent
supporters. The party were more than
pleased with the improptu demonstra-
ton at the college. 1t is the little
things that count and show the trend
of the peoples feelings far more than
larger ones. Little gatherings at the
country store or post office where pO-
litical argument can be given by those
well posted have more weight in
community of thinking people than
all the hurrah and clash of red light
and brass bands. These were the
places in which Mr.. Lee sought to
meet the people and in all cases he
left marked impression behind him.
Mr.. Devine is one of the best posted
men in the country on the paramount
issue and told the people in p ain words
what it all meant. Both of these gen.
tlemen were accompanied by Mr.. F.
Marion Faubel, who introduced them to
the people in the towns through which
they passed in his usual affable manner.
He made several strong speeches on
the trip.
At Sabillasville the party was taken
charge of by Messrs. Stem aud Eyler,
who acted as most genial hosts during
their stay. Shortly after their arrival,
which was on Tuesday morning. a
large crowd assembled in Mr.. Eyler's
ed to them for a short time. The
greatest amount of enthusiasm pre-
vailed. After the speaking the party
drove to Deerfield, where they were
introduced by the genial Joseph
Brown. After the Lewistown meet
ing the party drove to auburn" the
beautiful residence of DIR. VIM. s. Nc
Pherson, and fOnnd the Doctor full of
enthusiasm and confidence in the cleo
ton of Bryan, Sewall and Lee. From
there the trip to Charlesville was made
aad tea taken at the residence of Mr..
&. F. w. Howard, near that place.
They were most handsomely entertain
ed by the host and his accomplished
daughter. Mr.. Columbus Kemp pre-
sided at the meeting at Charlesville.
Hon. Blair Lee left Frederick on
Tuesday morning, the 18th inst, in
company with Mr.. Devine, of Nebras-
ka, and proceeded to MiddletOwn,
where they were accorded hearty re-
ception. After spending an hour and
a-halt at that point he proceeded to
Myersville, where the citizens turned
out en- masse to receive him. After
spending an hour at that point the par
ty proceeded to Ellerton, where the
people were in waiting, DESTROYS of see
ing and shaking hands with our can
didate. Mr.. Lee from thence pro-
ceeded to W0lfsville, Notwithstanding
| the incemency of the weather. Mr..
| Lee addressed one of the largest crowds
| that was ever assembled in WOlfsville.
! Many of the people not being able to
get into the Hall, waited outside to
shake hands with Mr.. Lee. The recep-
ton on the route from Frederick to
| Wolfsville was the most cordial and
enthusiastic that has ever been extend
ed to a congressional candidate. Mr..
Lee ana party were met at Myersville
by that veteran and pioneer of DEM
ocracy, Uncle David Summers, who
accom- panied them over the mountain
to and from WolfsviIle. Uncle Davy
says that the skies are brighter and the
prospects better for the success of our
ticket this fall, than he has ever
known, and predicts sweeping vic
tory IA November next.
