MRS. TULLY'S CLAIM.
Wants $4,000 From the Interstate
Railway Company.

Catherine Tully of Pawtucket has begun suit
against tho Interstate Consolidated Street
Railway Company TO recover $4,000 for per-
sonal injuries, through her attorney, Peter J.
Quinn. The accident in which she was in
jured occurred in May last.
Mrs. FULLY was passenger on car Of the
defendant company. which was High
street. and of which the motorman lost con-
troll. The dashed down tho hfii 70 Main
street. where there was another car standing,
which the one going down hill dashed into
and pushed almost across the street.
several of the passengers were badly shaken
up and the plaintiff IN the present case tossed
around so that she received very severe. and,
it IS claimed, permanent injuries.
According to Attorney Quinn. the railroad
company, when claim was presented, sent
two doctors up to visit Mrs. Tully, and these
doctors acted in a decidedly fresh manner. A
sister of the plaintiff protested against the
physicians examining Mrs. Tally when she
found out they were sent by the railroad COM
pany, but they pushed her aside.
This was very shabby treatment of claim
ant and her attorney, Mir. Quinn believes
for he had presented claim and should have
boon notified when the doctors were to have
the examination, as it was a private examina-
tion and the proper course should have been
pursued of having medical experts appointed
by the court

the services Then take down your 'harps

The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-05-20

In the political contest in which the
two great parties in this State will en-
gage this year, the Republicans have
manifest advantages which should en-
courage them to hopeful, brave and
manly effort to strengthen and adj
vance the position which they have
gained. AS we pointed out last week
the prompt adoption of numerous re
forms of which the people had been
cheated by the managers OF the Dem
Ocratic party year after year, has
strengthened the Republicans since
the last State election, while the eX-
cellence of Gov. LOwndes' appoint
ments has added to the high degree of
popular satisfaction with the party.
But while it is true that its record
of accomplished reforms gives the
party Il claim upon the confidence of
conservative and independent citizens
it is equally true that it viii not DO
for us to sit quietly down and point
to what has been done as establishing
our claim to their continued support.
The party must show itself to be ag-
gressively high-puYposed and progress
sive. 1t will be necessary to convince
the bipartisan voter that it is going
to fulfill the promise of high public
service which was reasonably infer
able from its declarations in favor of
the specific reforms which have been
accomplished.
Were we a reform party for the
campaign of 1895 only, or are we re
form party for the sake of reform and
sincerely devoted to the accomplish
ment and perpetuation of pure and
progressive government in this State?
That is a question which the conser-
vative voter will want to have answer
ed early in the campaign, and it must
be answered to his satisfaction, with
out evasion or equivOcation, if we are
to hold the allies who came to us be-
cause they believed our purposes were
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1897-05-20

better than the practices of the party
which they abandoned.
In what form can the answer to this
question best be given? In our ludg-
ment it can best be done by pleiging
the party to other measures of reform
which are as essential to the public
welfare as were those reforms which
have already been established.
Among these are
1. The abolition of the fee system
and the substitution of salaries for all
public officials.
2. The legalizing of primary cleo
tions.
3. The One-term system for all cleo
the City and Circuit Courts.
4. The application of the merit sys
TEN in appointments to public office
wherever practicable.
5. A law legalizing and restraining
within proper limits what is known
as 1.-The lobby during the sessions OF
the Legislature at Annapolis and the
City Council in Baltimore.
u. A law TO prevent outlaw" race
track gambling, which having beer
driven from other States has found g
refuge in Maryland.
But it is not alone in its platform
declarations that the party's right in
tentions must be manifested. The
sincerity of its professions must APP
pear in the character of it's nominees
The candidates must be men who Cal
be depended upon to intelligently anC
in good faith carry out the policy t.
which the party commits icseifJ Fo

Other communities may be suffering,
but ours has all the appearances of
prosperity. There are more goods
being sold here than ever before; our
merchants are vieing with each other

most attractive stores, and our homes
are being beautifed and made more

Sunday evening, May 9Th, at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Joel Gnagey,
of near Meyersdale, was the scene of a
very pleasant occasion.
That of the marriage OF their daugh-
ter, Miss Emma, to Mr.. Harvey Speich-
er, of Accident, Md. The hour hay
ing arrived, promptly at o'clock, to
the strains OF the wedding march rem
dered by Mrs. P. II. Gnagey, the cou-
pie were ushered III before Elder j.
w. Peck, who performed the cere-
mony in a most impressive manner.
There were some forty friends pres
ent, and after the usual cOngratula-
tions were extended all partook heart
lily of the splendid supper which was
served.
The bride was the recipient of
many pretty and useful presents con
sisting of glass, china and silverware,
table-cloths, rocking chairs, money,
etc. All present seemed to enjoy the
occasion, and not until nigh the mid
night hour did they cease their merry
making over this happy event. May
there be no pillows to mar their hap
piness on the matrimonial sea.-Mey-

Mr.. German Getting Ready.

Mr.. Germans fortune will be in the
scale in Maryland next fall, and as a
consequence he is already inaugural
ing his well-known game of now-yOu-
the game with skill His elusiveness,
his righteousness, his responsiveness,
are points in his political makeup
which have long commanded atten-
ton. He has seldom been cOrnered.
For time his admirers thought that
the defeat could not be accomplished.
but when he tripped in the fight of
1895 and again last year they were
forced to abate some of Their conf
dence in him. Still, he retains a strong
following at home, and as he, individu-
ally, will stand or fall with the result,
this coming contest is likely to develop
him in his most capable and adrOit
estate.
The chief stumbling block in Mr..
Germans way is the silver question.
If he could ignore that, or evade it he
would be glad to do so. If he could
say to the people OF Maryland, and
have them agreed to the proposition,
that national issues should have no
place in a State campaign, he would
score heavily. His task then would
be reduced to the single duty of max
ing peace on local lines and harvesting
the fruits of it in another term in the
Senate for himself.
But, even if entered upon, this play
will be difficult. SO far as the Sena-
torship is concerned, the election in
Maryland next fall will be distinctly
national The man chosen to that
office will have a vote on the silver
question in a body so evenly divided
that every vote will be of the first i'm
portance. If Maryland is a sound
money State therefOre-and last
years result seemed to be decisive on
that point-she should elect as Sena-
WI IL man uIJOI NIlOiI III blIdU lllul
ter she can rely most implicitly.
Would Mr.. German fill the bill:
Last year, when sound-mOney Demo
Gratis in Maryland and elsewhere were
forced to choose between loyalty to
party or loyalty to principles, Mr..
German threw his principles over
board. Although he had dictated the
adoption of a sOundmOney platform
at home in May, he Endorsed Mr. Bryan
and free silver in July and worked for
Mr.. Bryan's success all through the
campaign. The silver men hailed him
as most notable recruit, and they
still feel so much indebted to him that
their leading organ in the Countrywide
New York Journal, advocates his re-
election to the Senate.
Silver is now the Democratic shib-
boleth, Mr. Bryan is still the Demo
cratic national leader and Mr.. German
is still the representative of silver and
Mr.. Bryan in Maryland, and the good
people Of Maryland ought not to for
get it, and probably they will not.
