A. l.. Mattingly, of Cumberland,
who left Seattle several months ago
with a party OF gold hunters for the
Klondike, has addressed o letter to
his father, J. 7. Mattingly, merchant,
South Cumberland, from Skaguay
bay, Alaska. He says;
Il know you think | have lost my
mind for trying to make the trip to
the Klondike gold mines, and l am
commencing to think the same, for it

tackled. have one consolation, how

either sent back home or is hanged.
when our party Of nine reached
Lake Bennett we bought boat for
one hundred dollars and sent two
men to Klondille to do some prospect
ing for us. We have to go one hun
bred miles by handboats. We stayed
back to get the provisions over, which
will last the party one year, averag-
ing twelve hundred pounds to a man.
We have twelve horses at work pack
ing, and not one has yet been crippled
to any extent. Some sink into the
mire until only their heads are
visible, but we have managed to
save them. We can only go about
nine miles a day with $50 pounds to
the horse. There are rocks in the
trail that we have to crawl over on
our hands and knees. The trail is so
full of dead horses that man can
hardly stand the smell.
"If we do not get started down the
lakes by September Goth we will be
frozen in and could not get down at
all. The trail is forty miles long, and
if we would pay hire for our packing
it would be fifty cents pound.

In an interview on Sunday with a
staff correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun, Gov. Lowndes said in speaking
of the political aspect of Maryland:
THE State will elect the Republi-
can ticket this fall. There is too
much at issue to permit any other
result. 1t is the duty of all Republi-
cans to exert every effort to defeat
German, and | believe the Independ-
ent Democrats will join in this work,
and together they will strike out the
possibility of his reelection to the
United States Senate and the further
possibility of his nomination for Pres
ident in 1900 on a free-silver platform
The cooperation of the Independent
Democrats with us will insure our
success in the State, and to that sue
cess the election of the ticket in Bal
timOre city is essential.
unfortunately the bitterness engen-
dered by the fight in Baltimore has
stimulated Mr.. German and his sup
porters with some hope Of discord in
our ranks and of success for them
selves, but in this they will be dis
appointed. While before the primar-
les it was natural that EACH one
should, and doubtless did, hive his
personal preference, and many would
have preferred some candidate for
Mayor other than Mr.. Master, yet he
has been nominated, and all Republi-
cans should give him an earnest and
hearty support. We are Republicans
from principal and not for office, and
the success of the principals of that
great party are of far greater moment
than that of any individuals.
"Some other city ticket than the
one nominated might have been more
acceptable to the independents, but
it is certainly less Objectionable to
them than would be the retention of
Mr. German in the Sente, or his pos
sible presidential candidacy in 1905.
"Allegany will be in line with its
usual, if not increased majority, and
whatever | can do personally for the
ticket throughout the State or in
Baltimore city l will co cheerfulIy.
Mr.. Master and the other nominees
will have my cordial support, and I
hope and believe they viii be elected"

the importance of getting right start

would either lead them onward and
upward to high and noble distances,
or drag them down to the lowest
depths of degradation. The Doctors
speech ought to commend him very
favOrably to all voters and right

heart is not right and whose motives

THE fact is that the Republicans
have been increasing rapidly in num-
bers and influence in all the States Of
the south, particularly in those on
the southern border, with the excep-
ton of two, South Carolina and Miss
issippi, in which, by constitutional
provision, there is a large disfran-
chisement of colOred voters. The
chief cause of this change is the
growth of the Populist party, which
is white mans party, and has with
drawn many voters from the Demo
cratic candidates without getting
many recruits from Republican ranks.
In no Presidential election since the
close Of the civil war have the Repub-
Leans polled so large an electoral vote
in the Southern States as they did
last year. Mr.. Mckinley received L
electoral votes in Kentucky, s in
Maryland, and 6 in West Virginia,
which, with 3 in Delaware, make to.
tai of 30 in what was formerly the
solid South. In three States-NortE
Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee
the contest between the Democrats
and the Populists on the one hand
and the Republicans on the other was
very close, and the severance Of friend,
ly political relations between the Dem
ocrats and the Populists in these
States makes more probable than
heretofore Republican success.-N. Y
