Correspondence of the Democratic Advocated
FLoREsvILLE, Wilson Co., Sept 10, 1898.
The summer just passed was unusually
cool-the temperature rarely reaching 1902.
Much of this month has been more like No
vember,-fne weather for harvesting the cot
ton crop, which is coming to the markets very
lively. The price of this king of Dixie land
is very low and the producer does a lot of
useless and Intellectual grumbling.
We have had splendid rains and vegetation
is green and luxuriant as springtime.
The cotton seed oil mill here is running day
and night, producing 1000 or more gall ons
daily.
Last week the Mexican residents here eel
ebrated their National Independence by a
rousing Jubilee of three days duration. One
Mexican carried to Jail badly cut head, the
result of resisting peace officer who was sup
pressing a drunken brawl.
Last Saturday our marshal had to shoot,
and severely wounded, Mexican who was
resisting arrest with the bowie knife argu-
ment.
The local and state political campaign is
getting right warm, and cheap whiskey is
flowing quite freely. Fact is whiskey and
beer does much of the voting.
Since our Uncle Samuel quit raking in is
lands every few days, interest in the Spanish
American shooting match has quite subsidized
here. Strange war where camps and hospi-
tails are more fatal to life and health, than the
enemies arms-very strange. Say boys,
about how many of those beautiful long haired
dark eyed senoritas did you snatch from the
ferocious Spanish soldiery? 1t appears to
some of us, that those lovely maidens
were Whitfield out of wood and metal in
printing Offices, slat. Spaniards love pretty
girls, too.
Excellent health prevailing here. Tempera-
ture at this hour, II m, 10. Raining lightly.

SECOND DISTRICT CONVENTION.
Richard Beauregard Tippett Nomi-
mated on the First Rallot.

Upon the withdrawal of Mr. Nicholas W.
Steele, as the nominee for the House of Re-
representatives., the Democratic convention of
the second congressional district convened
at Elkton on Thursday and nominated Rich
ard Beauregard Tippett, of Baltimore, on the
first ballot.
Richard B. Tippett was born iu St. Mary's
county January IA, 1862. He is the son of
Robert Bruce Tippett and Susan E. Payne,
of ST. Mary's county, where his father is
prominent farmer. Mr.. Tippett's father is
Scotch and his mother of English descent,
and both belong to families that were among
the early settlers of Maryland. His father
and mother are both living and reside at
Chaptico, st. Marys county.
Mr.. Tippett was educated at Charlotte Hall
Military Academy, in St. Mary county, and
at St. Johns College, Annapolis. He grad
uated from the latter school in the class of
1884, and delivered the valedictory address
to his class While attending st. Johns
College, in addition to his studies, he read
law under the instruction of Mr.. James Rev.
ell, of the Annapolis bar, now one of the
judges of the Circuit Court of this Judicial dis
trict. In 1885 he took his examination IN
law, and was admitted at Upper Marlboro,
Prince Georges county, to practice law
short time thereafter he went to Baltimore to
reside and TO practice his procession in the
city. Subsequently his brother, James E.
Tppett, graduated in law at the University
of R. B. Tippett & Bro.
Mr. Tippett was married April Z, 1885, to
Miss Margaret f. Thornton, of Baltimore.

Mr.. Baker in Westminster.

Congressman Wm B. Baker did not find
everything serene among the Republicans
when in Westminster on Monday. He struck
several ugly snags and he heard some plain
talk as to his being controlled by Mr.. Clabaugh
in making appointments in Carroll. He was
told that in Voting for him the people were
voting for continuation of Mr.. Clabaugh' S
domination; that Mr.. Clabaugh was not bona
fide citizen of the county; that he only spent
little while up in a corner of the county in
summer, that he was not in touch with the
sentiment of the Republicans of Carroll, and
was notin a position to advise wisely as to
appointments. In two instances, Mr.. Baker
was told, appointments of postmasters. were
made over his head because the then Postmas-
ter-General had more confidence in the judg-
ment of others in Carroll in these cases than he
had in that of Mr. Clabaugh, and he was further
told that had Mr.. Gary not resigned he and
Mr.. Clabaugh would not have been able to
make Mr.. Schaeffer postmaster of Westmin-
ster. Mr.. Baker was given to understand
that it would have been better for the party
had some OF the offices now held by two
families been given to others. In short, Mr.
Baker found matters here in very unsatis-
factory condition. He has very likely dis
covered similar conditions,in Baltimore and
Cecil counties, and that all is not serene in
his own county, Hartford.

October October II.

These are the only days that persons emit
tied to register can have their names entered
on the registration books and qualify them
selves to vote in November. The sitting on
October 18 is for revision only, and no new
names can be entered. Persons who were
registered last year or in 1896 do not have to
be registered again.
This is going to be Democratic year.
The greatly decreased Republican majorities
in Vermont and Maine clearly indicate it.
Chairman Babcock Of the Republican con-
eressional committee admits it, and indca-
lions everywhere point to it. Every Demo-
crat in Carroll, therefore, should get regis
tered and vote, in order that he may be able
to say when the returns of victory come in
81 helped to do it.
The second congressional district has had
a nonentity in the House of Representatives
for four years and that same nonentity has
been renominated not because of his popu-
larity or capacity, but because no Republican
of character and capacity cared to be showed
under in November. Mr.. Baker, besides be-
ing totally unfit to represent the district in
the House of Representatives, has Numbered
everywhere in making postoffice appoint
ments. He has chosen to listen to the coun-
ty bosses rather than TO the people, and he
will feel the result of this action at the polls.
There is no more promising field for Demo
cratic success in November than in this con
eressional district. The Democrats are
heartily tired of virtually having no represent
tative in Congress, and hundreds of Republi-
cans are tired of Baker and his subserviency
to county bosses.
But in order to vote the first requisite is to
get registered. All young men who have just
reached their majority, and all newcomers
to the county who are entitled to register,
should be looked after and told when and
where TO register. The members Of the
Democratic County Central Committee and
other workers should commence this work at
once. Don't wait for the second days regis
tration, but see that all unregistered Demo-
Gratis have their names entered upon the books
next Tuesday, October 4. The offices will
be open from a. m. to p. M, and by re-
ference to an advertisement in another col
umn the places where the registrars will sit
can be ascertained.

New York Nominations.

Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt was nomi-
mated for Governor by the Republican state
convention of New York on Tuesday. Col.
Roosevelt was with the Rough Riders in the
charge at Santiago, and it was this that Sc
cured him the nomination. He has been an
independent and sulker in times past, and an
ardent civil sevice reformer. 1t is probable
that his civil record will more than over
balance his military, and the machine Re-
publicans will knife him at the polls. Be-
sides, it is question whether he is eligible
or not, as in May last he swore that he was a
resident of Washington, in order to escape
taxation in New York city.
