The Republican machine of Balti-
more have forced the Malster people to
give up all hope of success in the fight
for the nomination for Mayor. The
ring have things their own way and
with high hand are going to force
Marburg upon the people. This
means certain defeat 10 the Re
publican nominee. Mr.. Charles
Wilson, formerly of this country is
the chairman of the active Malster
combination and will go to the courts
to secure rights which were denied
the Malster crowd by the Republican
Committee headed by Chairman
Stone. Many of the best Republicans
of Baltimore are disgusted with the
way things are run by the so.called re-
formers of their party and Democrats
by the hundreds, who have been
against their leaders, are now in line
and boldly declare that they will
sweep the city with good Democratic
nominees.

Good Selections.

Mr.. Murray Vandiver should be con-
graduated on having made such
admirable selections in the young gen.
tlemen he has invited to join with him
in looking after the interests of the
Democratic party in the great contest
now before u.s. Every Democrat in
Maryland should lend helping hand
in this fight. The Republicans who
looked for better things under their
party management. are open in their
disgust of Wellington and even pro-
claim that they prefer the old ring
rule rather than such pretended re-
forms.

What the Farmers Say of the Road.

The farmers in the upper Middle
town Valley will lend a generous hand
to keeping the electric road busy if it
is, built from Middletown to Myers
vile. A few days ago, when in con-
versation with a farmer living five
miles from Middletown, he spoke of
the great benefits the farmer would de-
rive from the road. Now they fake an
entire day with six horses to haul
hundred bushels of wheat to Frederick.
one constant pull to and from the de-
pot. Now he hauls to Middletown two
or three loads per day without half the
wear and tear upon his wagon and
team. The upper valley road will be
q great feeder to the main line and
should be built by all means. A good
route should be selected. Take time to
secure the best. for in this way you
will be saving money.
The citizen., 1897-08-20

THE receivers of the Baltimore ana
Ohio are still willing to spend eight
or ten millions more in order to try
and earn the interest on the fourteen
million recently spent upon the road.
the late report of the receivers is
not very encouraging to the poor stock
holders. Yet the Baltimore and Ohio
took turn with all the other stock
and registered some points higher.
May she keep on moving.

MIR. II. b. WARNER, who was one

mii&led the Republican farmers that
